AT BRAWLEY

Andrew Magpusao, Westmorland

According TO Lne story given to

RECORD PRICE FOR PUBUSH|NG
LIFE Of CHRIST BY DICKENS

LONDON, Feb. 8. U.P)-Publica-
ton rights to a life of Christ, writ
ten by Charles Dickens for the bene-
fit of his children, and for nearly
65 years withheld from the public,
have been sold for the record break
ing price of SIS per word. The man
uscript contains about 14.O00 words.
Behind the announcement of the
sale made here last night lies not
only human story of a fathers de-
sire that his children should know
the life of Christ and be guided by
his own affirmation of faith in the
Scriptures, but also one of dra-
matte struggle of editors and pub
fishers for purchase of the manu-
script, once it was offered for sale.
The purchasers, the announce
ment revealed, were The London
Daily Mail, which bought world
rights, and the United Feature Syn
dicate of New York which purchased
all serial rights for North and South
America.
Since Dickens death in 1870 the
manuscript has been treasured in
the Dickens family. 1t is yellowed
with age.
Dickens called the work "The Life
of Our Lord He wrote it while his
children still were young and with
the idea that it was for their eyes
alone.

Liquor Permits
To Be Refused

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8. U.P-
Fifty-seven liquor establishments
in Los Angeles county were con-
sidered "all through selling liq-
uor today by the state board of
equalization which refused to issue
them 1884 licenses.
The establishments in receiving
rejection slips we're notified that
sit is a misdemeanor to sell liquor
of higher alcoholic content than
one half of one per cent without a
state license.' The notification, it
was said, served as a warning that
the places will be watched.
"Operators who are refused new
permits are all through selling liq-
uor," Michael Connolly, chief in
yestigator for the board, said.
Night clubs, restaurants and liq-
uor stores were among those firms
denied permits.

Georgina Hogarth. She protected it
carefully and upon her death left
1t to Sir Henry Fielding Dickens,
sixth child of the author. She stip-
ulated, however, that it was not to
be published until the last of the
Dickens children for whom it was
written, was dead
Sir Henry, the last of the Dickens
children, died as the result of a
traffic accident, just before the
Christmas holidays.
With his death disposition of the
manuscript rested with his widow
and his children who, through ma
jority decision, had the right to per-
NIT its publication. They decided it
should be published.
AS soon as the word that publica-
ton rights to the manuscript would
be sold, was passed to publishers,
dramatic bidding began. For days
the scramble went on, with bidders
from all parts of the world utilizing
the transatlantic telephones, the
cables and airplanes to carry their
offers and conduct their negotia- =
tions. The price was bid up and up
and today the sale was announced
at the amazing figure of SIS per
word.
The manuscript itself remains
safely in bank vault--a collectors
item of tremendous value beyond
the value of publication rights.
