When | first started working on a
newspaper, | often wondered why the
editor kept emphasizing how important
the weather story was each day. After
all, | reasoned, nobody could do any
thing about the weather anyway. Now
/ know differently. Mel Heimer, a re-
porter for the New York World-Tele-
gram, who writes the daily weather
story for that paper, has just signed
write a book. And why did Heimer get
a contract with Whittlesey House to
such an enviable opportunity? Because
the attention of the publisher was drawn
to the clever weather stories he pens
daily.

HAZEL

BY HAZEL

Out of the deep south, Rome, Ga,
comes the following editorial comment:
1.-THE time worn expression, Don't
change horses in the middle of the
stream which has been the refuge of
many a politician in seeking reelection,
was neatly and accurately disposed OF
by Mr.. Roosevelt in an address delivered
at St. Paul, Mimi, on April Is, 1882. On
that occasion when he was pushing his
campaign for president, he made this
thoroughly sensible observation:
"There will be many in this nation
during the coming months who will inn
plore you not to swap horses crossing a
stream; there will be others who will
laughingly tell you hat the appeal
should nave been worded, DO not swap
~toboggans while you are sliding down
hill.' But it seems to me that the more
truthful, the more accurate plea to the
people of the nation should be this: III
the old car. in spite of frequent emer-
gency repair, has been humping along
down hill on only two cylinders for
three long years, it is time to get an
other car that will start up hill on all
four
"As n matter of course, there has
never been any sound basis for the
Don't change horses argument. We're
It sound in its relation to politics, It
would mean that no public official could
avor ho renlaced"

of the big city. But other readers take
the metropolitan side on a question
which has been argued from the time
youngsters first debated in high school,
over which is Better-Couhtry or City
Life?" Personally, l think the ideal
solution is six (months) of one and a
h~alf-dozen of the other.

LITERARY CUIDEPOST
THE COLUMNISTS: \ SURGE
 GAL SURVEY" by Charles
 Fisher; S2.59).

A gentleman by name of Charles Fisher has just dusted the jackets of large share of Americas newest journalistic phenomena, our columnists. Mir. Fisher pre- faces his "The Columnists: A Sur gical Survey" with the guess that in the last few years American newspapers have used these sym dicated writers in the first person as substitutes for the personal journalism which once fourished. He admits that the era in which newspaper proprietors black guarded each other habitually was not perfect, but deplores what he considers the dullness of modern journalism.
 That is his estimate, and he has a right to it. His estimate of the columnists is likewise his own, although obviously colored con- siderably by his personal beliefs and likes and dislikes. What makes the book attractive enough to keep me up two hours past bedtime is the gayety and clever ness of the writing itself, not all together the content.
 He ribs Mark Sullivan terrfical- ly, pointing out that he started precious close to a radical, but grew less progressive" the more money he made. He ribs Win chell a bit too, but there is more than a suggestion of wide-eyed wonder in his approach to that phenomenon. He thinks Win chell is still a ham actor at heart. and planes his occasionally lurid estimates of his own value on the fact that it is cricket to talk about oneself in show business.
 Dorothy Thompson likewise provides juice for the Fisher or ange. MT. Fisher thinks the juice bit sour. Pegler he can't stom- ach at all, except as a prose styl- ist, and his piece on the angry man of Ridgefield, Conn, con- tains innumerable examples of what Mir Fisher calls boorishness out of the Peglerian past. He thinks the late Raymond Clapper was pretty good and grows. bit moist-eyed over Ernie Pyle's stuff. But he is really wicked on the subject of military comment ators, and among others takes Major George Fielding Eliot for a bumpy ride on springless bike. MT. Fisher may be 59 for all Il know; he writes like a young and yeasty man.
