THE MAN WITHOUT A PARADOX

One of the most interesting men of letters is lost to the world in the death of the distinguished Eng fish author, G. K Chesterton.
 During his life as a journalist Chesterton found time for works which early established his more seri ous literary reputation Among these were "Ortho- doxy," All Things Considered" The Ballad of the White Horse" and "The Napoleon of Noting Hill Later. came two volumes of detective stories The Innocence of Father Brown" and The Wisdom Of Father Brown" These were followed by what has been called the funniest of his works "The Ball and the Cross"
 In 1926 he established his periodical, "G. KS Weekly" to deal with contemporary literary and political affairs
 In all his fiction Chesterton, in the opinion of critics permitted his imagination to riot His works, they have pointed out tinctured with his love of paradox his boyish joy in saying something incongruous. On this point critic wrote; His topsy turvy paradoxes are an attempt, to restore the world to its traditional sanity His is the prose of fighter; his poetry is also full of the rhetoric of battle" Another of his critics characterized Chester ton as the prince of Paradoxes but the author dis claimed that literary honor if it may be called that
 His reputation as molder of paradoxes preceded Chesterton to the United States where he made lecture tour in 1921 After giving two three of his lectures the author commenting upon his audiences said Fn%
 "The most widespread disappointment to have been given by the absence of the paradox which they went forth to see. do not understand how this kind of writing featuring could be looked for from since I have protested over and over, by symbol and speech, that should not know paradox if it met in the street. have read my own books over and again and never found paradox"
 Chesterton afterwards described his American tour in book entitled What Saw in America" In that he revealed himself to his audience portly genial figure with flowing hair that curved at his collar with twinkling blue eyes and cheeks puffy and rosy like those of Santa Claus. One of his char acterstic comments made the itinerary of his tour which he declared gave him a distorted view of American geography. He had always been led to believe, he said that Washington close to Bati- and actually within the confines of the state of Maryland Thus he could not understand why after his lecture in Baltimore it necessafto cart him clear the state of Pennsylvania to Pitts burgh for lecture and then back again before facing his audience in Washington His collections of essays and fiction have had wide circulation in America and his detective stories appeared seriay in American magazines.
