John 1:14. Nobody seems to care about the price of cotton stockings. Some husbands are happy, other's wives won't slay home alone. LITERARY ADVANCEMENT , European writers visiting the United States are struck with the excellent standard of books that Americans gener ally seem to be reading. When the British find evidence of a trace of culture in America, iiatives need have no doubt that it exists. These authors nYay be somewhat prejudiced because of tho popularity their own works enjoy on this side of the Atlantic. But the fact remains that the publishing business in the United States was never more flourishing, nor liter ary output at higher level by critical standards, than is the case at present. It has become quite conymonplaco for card parties to be prefaced, or even interrupted, by lively discussions of a bookish character. And social onus no longer rests on the "highbrow" who enjoys his reading, but rather on the person who used toclaim with pride he had no time to waste on literary browsing. - ' Speculation on the causes of this change is interesting. National prosperity would not alone account for the qualita tive as well as the quantitative improvement in reading. The glowing demand for longer leisure periods, the spreading prejudice against the old idea that an American lives for routine work alone, are doubtless factors. But whatever the cause, an increased interest in ideas for themselves, regard less of their economic application, is now obvious. And when a democracy which has no narrow "reading class" lakes up the art progress is rapid. Who would have thought a quarter century ago that philo sophy and biography would ever become popular mental diet for the average American? NEW INTELLECTUAL CENTERS New contenders are coming to the front for the honor of being the nation's intellectual center. These contenders are the federal penitentiaries, described as being among the world's most brilliant intellectual colonies under the reign of Volstead and rascality. These federal prisons may be all this and a lot more, but they somehow lack the atmosphere which is so necessary for a successful club. True, the perfect clubman of tradition never moves from his easy chair, but there is a certain dif ference between compulsory and voluntary fixity that makes the majority of men prefer the latter. Not even their brilliance is likely to start a rush for mem bership in these colonies of best minds. It may be comfort ing to know, however, that if life's path should lead there tummiuiiH win ue lounu 10 ne meal, but there are compensa tions elsewhere that make up for the lack of intellectual brilliance which Mr. Hoover's hoosegows possess. What is now being said in their praise may change the national viewpoint. The day may come when the newer intelligentsia will feel that existence can not be complete without the kinship of the kindred spirits momentarily the guests of theii government. It has been said that the dis grace is not in the crime but in the imprisonment. And now even that disgrace is being stamped out.
