I am the first, and I ar.l tlio last; and besides me there Is no God. Is there a God besides me; yea, there 1b no God; I know not any. Isaiah 44: , BY JUNXUS Perishables All but an insignificant minority of the novelists of today, it is believed began their writing careers with the desire to achieve fame or to satisfy a creative urge as the main incentive. The making of money through the sale of. their books was a secondary consideration ; probably it was not until they had published one or two volumes that most of those who now depend upon their novels for a livelihood decided to make the writing of fiction their principal occupation. Since fame, glory, and a place among the immortals of literature are the guerdons that have been most prom inent in our novelists' minds, there is a good deal of irony in the statement made by Simon L. Nye, president of the American Bookscllcis' association, at the annual conven tion of that organization in New York City that almost "without exception a contemporary book of fiction, after having been published three months, is "practically dead, forgotten, and awaiting lcmoval to the bargain tables."; Merit or lack of it has nothing to do with the phenomenon; admirable novels may last no longer than poor ones. There is .something pathetic in the idea of a writer's putting the energy, the thought and feeling of a year or more into a work which, though excellent, should be so evanescent. The situation directs attention to certain conditions of ; niooern me wnicn 'are'noG unnrr crcmi trm-consume crav- aihi there's mo snmii by wim ' inir of tho mihlie for Rntiiethiiuv new. even If r'nn ulrl u otokI ! hope lliui Ix'fo re II nil omlH . . , .... . .. . , , , , , ,'KOliii'thlnK will Imi limit' nliout run. and has not been utilized as it might be, and the tendency no,. ,,u, to follow a fad in an unreasoning way as a flock of sheep! follow their leader.

Each wants to be able to talk about novels thid lire new and have not yet been much discussed. Literature suffers grievously as a result.

How often have we seen a trashy song or a play of no special worth take the country by storm just because people had 'been led to believe it was a "hit." A poor novel may nchievo "success" in the same way, and a good one be ignored. THE OLD HOME TOWN By Stanley TeTO TROTTER.?'
