The Ayes Have It!

Out of the welter of conflicting reviews and opinions
that have greeted (and shown the tremendous inter-
est in) Henry Sydnor Harrison's SAINT TERESA,
the fact emerges that the praise far overbalances
the attacks. These few brief extracts are typical
of the great majority of the early reviews.

"Certainly the most powerful novel of
the present season. . . In this book Mr.
Harrison is at hiis best." — America.

"A vivid and fascinating creation."
— Chicago Neivs.

"In every way, one of the most notable
.American novels of recent years." — Wor-
cester Cassette.

"A remarkable piece of fiction, a well-
wrought work of art." — William Lyon
Phelps in the New York Post.

"There never was anything better and
truer and more sincere than the terrible,
long, hand-to-ihand fight which is the inevi-
table climax of the 'book." Alice Diier
Miller in the Nezv York Tribune.

Take advantage of all this publicity.
Feature, display and recommend it as
the leading novel of the Spring.

PRAIRIE CHILD

It seems astounding that this can be anything other
than self-disclosure.

Not an imagined type but a wonderful real woman,
living and breathing, hoping and loving, seems in-
evitably to be writing here.

Through and beyond the personality, so distinct and
poignant, we glimpse the mind and spirit of universal
womanhood, the wives and mothers of the race.

THE

VEHEMENT FLAME

The

VEHEM_ENT_FLAME

AI AKGAKiFlJEIAXl)

if.- a.- 'i'

Broad humanity, depth of
passion, and frequent con-
trasting passages of quaint
hunwr combine to make this
no7'cl a narrative which grips
the emotions and enthralls
the reader.

HARPER & BROTHERS, E.t.bu.hed isi?

April I, 1922 949

by Margaret Deland

Wi/I be published in May

rHE VEHEMENT FLAME shows Mrs. Deland writing with the
same tremendous dramatic power that produced The Azuakcning of
Helena Richie and The Iron Woman. But this new book in its
humanity, its passion, its breadth of appeal surpasses any of her pre-
vious books. The emotional power oif the narrative and the charm
of Mrs. Deland's style promise to make it a novel of permanence and
the literary event of the year.

Tihe theme of the story is jealousy — a slow, insidious poison which
eats body and soul like some corrosive acid. When Maurice Curtis
swept Eleanor into a romantic marriage he saw no handicap in the
disparity of years between them. At nineteen the future assumes a
roseate hue, and his youthful impetuosity finally overrode the objections
of the maturer judgment of Eleanor's thirty-nine years. The awak-
ening was not slow in coming. Youth called to youth and it soon
dawned upon him that his golden visions of bliss were far from being
realized. A grapihc picture is then unfolded to the reader of Eleanor, \ i|

sensing her hold upon her husiband's affections stepping, and a prey
to a dreadful jealousy, which drives Maurice to an almost tragic || .

betrayal of his own best instincts. What happens when she discovers '
hozv completely their marriage has failed, and the tangled skein which
they have made of liiife makes a book full of beauty and love, of pas-
sion and tenderness, and in the end light.

In order to facilitate the success which we feel assured this novel
will attain we are featuring the Vehement Flame in a big National,
advertising campaign, and special Window and Counter Displays. We
will imprint Post Cards and make every effort to bring this book
prominently before the public eye. Price, $200.

We recommend **The Vehement Flame" as the novel which
comes probably nearer to making the universal appeal than
anything published for seasons. Judging by the success
attained by **The Awakening of Helena Richie" and "The Iron
Woman" it should become the most talked of book of the year.
Anticipate your needs and place a generous order now.

ALCHEMIC GOLD has gone thru the experimental

Used on book covers it will give wonderful results

Elaborate decorative designs will cost no more than
plain stamping, as the price is not based on the sur-

THE REFLECTIONS OF A BOOKSELLER

^^ Living is a fine art and a man who wishes to live
happily must study the art of living.'^

Now and again I find myself wondering whether my daily tasks
are of value to others besides myself; wondering whether I am
taking advantage of my opportunities as a bookseller to guide
the searching readers (my customers) to the books that would be
profitable and helpful to them. And then it is that I chart my
course. I say, "'This year I will do constructive work. I will
avail myself of my opportunities as a bookseller. I will sell books
that are at once profitable to me and to my customers."

Rudyard Kipling is the first author I will stress. I can safely say
to any of my discriminating customers that:

1. Rudyard Kipling is the greatest English writer now living.

2. Rudyard Kipling has expressed so much of what the Anglo-
Saxon race stands for — what it hopes to accomplish — that he has
a hopeful message for all of us in this period of reconstruction
when we are all groping for a vision of the future.

3. To read Kipling is to get the picture of a civilization — tliat of
my own race, by the way.

4. Rudyard KipKng is a heritage for you, your family, and par-
ticularly your children.

And to myself, as I reflect, I say:

A. When I guide my customers to Kipling's books, I am guiding
them to helpful books.

B. I make a good profit on every sale of Kipling — because, where
I have sold one volume, I shall sell more.

C. Kipling sales have increased steadily for ten years, it is wise
for me to capitalize that momentum.

D. My frequent complaint is that the book business gives few
opportunities for a large unit of sale. A set of Kipling makes a
large unit. Am I salesman enough to effect it?

E. I will ask my best customers what volumes of Kipling are
missing from their libraries, and I will encourage the habit of
recommending a Kipling volume as a birthday and anniversary gift.

F. Every effort I make to increase the audience and that audi-
ence's appreciation of Kipling will be constructive bookselling —
and will be part of my effort toward the healthful and sound re-
construction of society.

Kipling's publishers in America are Doubleday, Page & Company,
who also publish Joseph Conrad, O. Henry, and Booth Tarkington.

Prices for Old Books

THE bookseller who has an out-of-print
volume that does not happen to be in his
usual field of trading is very likely to
think that the person who may be advertising
for it is trying to pick up a bargain in a really
valuable book. The advertiser consequently
receives quotations on books at prices all out
of possible relation to the book quoted. A let-
ter printed in this number shows that one
advertiser received from different booksellers
quotations on one rather common item rang-
ing from $1.20 to $15.

It is not a safe presumption that a book
that has been dropped from the publishers'
catalog is from that moment a rare item. The
interchange of such material is important in
order that the books may reach the places
where they are really wanted, and quotations
made without any relation to the value should
be avoided by dealers. It only creates a feeling
that they do not know their business, and the
advertiser receiving many post-cards naturally
picks the lower priced copies. In the second-
hand business, as in new book business, rapid
turnover is of real consequence, and turnover
is certainly made more rapid by reasonable
prices.

Promptness Is Urged

THOSE who are planning to attend the
Washington Convention — ^and apparently
there is to be a record attendance — will
have to think promptly of hotel accommoda-
tions, now that April's here. The head-
quarters for the Convention is to be at the

New Willard, but the Committee is sending
out other suggestions to al] the book-trade, so
that different types of quarters may be ar-
ranged for. As a great deal of the benefit of
any convention comes from informal contacts
Ciutside of the meetings and in the conversations
that are developed on the trips that the con-
vention makes, it is worth while to be as cen-
trally located as possible so as to be with the
fellow members as large a part of the time as
possible. Those who are slow in writing are
always disappointed ; therefore promptness is
urged.

What the Milhons Want

THERE will always be an interest in at-
tempts to analyze what sways public
tastes in the manner of best sellers. The
sweeping success of one or two recent
books has brought the subject to the front
again in many reviewing mediums. As a side-
light on this problem the experience of news-
papers in their selection of serial fiction ought
to throw considerable light, as these serials re-
flect their popularity both in circulation and in
letters to the editors. Ruth E. Finlay, who was
for fifteen years connected with newspaper
work and for seven years was fiction editor for
the Scripp's interest in Cleveland, has been
asked by the Publishers' Weekly to give her
estimate of what the public want in fiction,
based on the reaction that came to this syndi- :
cate from the great public who would read the '
story when it was given newspaper serializa- \
tion. Mrs. Finley's analysis of "What the|
Miillions Want" appears elsewhere in this ■
issue of the Publishers' Weekly.

Back-to-Nature Books

THE central theme of the special book pro-
motion for April is very happily present-
ed in the poster which Mr. Norstad, the
artist who produced the summer poster lasr
year, has made for the Year Round Bookselling
Committee. Many people connect the drying
of the sod and the gentler weather of spring
with complete abandonment of the printed page
as if the only use of l)ooks were inseparably
tied to fireplaces and reading lamps. It only
needs a little special advertising and real selling
to convince the gardener that he can grow
larger tomatoes or bluer larkspur if he buys
the newest garden books, to persuade the house
builder that he will have a more comfortable

home if there are books on his table as well as

his trips with greater keenness if he reads some
books of countryside descriptions before start-

how much more legible is the story on her
pages if there is in every home library a guide
to the birds, flowers, trees and to every living
and growing thing. The poster shows a man
and two small boys perched on a rail fence, rest-
ing from their hike. The man has an open bird
book in his hand, and all seem to be identifying
some feathered friend. The ix)ster emphasizes
that man and boy are brought close together
in these days of early spring by their common
interest in nature. Father and son are of one

N the department stores
of the country, about half
of the buying for the book
department is done in the
three months of July,
August and September, ac-
cording to statistics gathered
by the Dry Goods Economist
from three hundred typical
stores thruout the country.
Buying reaches its lowest
ebb in May, and December
is the second weakest month.
The year's figures are as
follows :

These figures show the
importance of the fall sea-
son to the book-trade, for, if all the books
purchased in the five months following
July 1st are sold by January ist, two-thirds
of the business is done in that time. The
varying pressure on the selling organization
of the publishers is also indicated by these
statistics.

The statistical tables gathered show the fig-
ures im all departments, and it is to be noticed
that August is the heaviest buying month in
the twelve, taking the store as a whole, Feb-
ruary and January being also very heavy
months for buying In the stationery depart-
ment, the heaviest month is February followed
by August, September and October. In toys,
32.1 per cent of the buying is done in the

Cultivating Book Lovers in Rural Communities

By E. E. Beauchamp

Director Department of Rural Extension, Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, N. J.

RELIGIOUS Book Week offers many op-
portunities to those who make and distribute
books. It also challenges those who labor
for wider use of better 'books — and perform this
labor without added monetary reward. Pub-
lishers sell books not merely thru selling-wishes ;
but rather thru selling-methods. Show the book
producer a new field and a way to reach it and
trust him to enter it. So those who propagate
religion will do well to collaborate with those
who produce books. Such co-operation will
secure distribution of the kind of reading peo-
ple in rural communities should have. This
paper is an invitation to such reciprocity.

One of the great denominations, the Metho-
dist Episcopal, has entered a new field of inspir-
ation and trajining. Thru the Rural Department
of the Board of Home Missions and the co-
operation of the administrations, in some thir-
ty-three of its colleges, universities and theo-
logical seminaries there are now established
departments of rural leadership and extension.
These departments seek to reach, inspire and
train the youth now being fitted for modern so-
cial responsibilities. They seek to reach at
least those coming out of rural communities,
and hope to inspire them with a true — ^sometimes
a new — appreciation of and loyalty to the essen-
tial values of rural life. ' Methods of training
are devised to fit them ifor the particular tasks
and the distinctive conditions of the town and
country situation. These potential leaders are
being challenged to recognize the hosts "out
there" who wait but a call to prove themselves
stalwart followers of a progressive and worthy
leadership. In addition to this work with stu-
dents in residence these departments are con-
cerned with the rural field itself — that great
neglected source of national character and pros-
perity whose people are pl^ding in tones that
make their plea a demand "come over and
help us."

The Church and the Farmer
This last suggested service we call extension
work — after the analogy of the extra-mural
courses common to educational institutions to
some extent ; but more properly after the model
of the Agricultural College and Experiment
Station Extension Service in the field. If
Agricultural Colleges are properly interested in
the soil of our country-folks, shoiild not the
church as progressively show her concern for
their souls?

In the development of, this activity some sig-
nificant discoveries are made. Among these

none is more important than that rural people
are hungry for good reading, and are poorly
assisted in finding it. Facts may be men-
tioned, to prove this. Graded lessons in rural
SiMiday schools are 'being welcomed with an
unexfpected eagerness. The coincident com-
pulsiion upon sdich schools to improve their
libraries is being willingly accepted as is
shown by the following incident. A student-
pastor taking work in Drew Theological
Seminary came to the Director of the Exten-
sion Department with an encouraging request.
In a previous conversation the director had
declared that rural people will generously
support any worthy project if it is fairly
presented to them. This pastor of a small
rural church had found this true. He was
asking suggestions as to how he could best
spend over fifty dollars which his adult Bible
class had raised in ten minutes the previous
Sunday for the purpose of buying some study
helps for their lesson preparation. And they
had told this pastor if that wasn't enough
money to tell them and they would raise some
more. And furthermore it was not raised
by a supper or entertainment, but out of their
pockets !

New Jersey Plans Farmers' Week
A venture was made in January, 1922, at
the annual Farmers' Week gathering at Tren-
ton, New Jersey. A rural church conference
had been called by an informal committee
comiposed of leaders of different denomina-
tions called together at the invitation of those
in charge of Farmers' Week preparations.
Amon^ the plans for this conference adopted
by the committee was one for a rural church
exhibit. The various denominations were in-
vited to participate. Three arranged to do
so, the Baptist, the Methodist Episcopal, the
Presbyterian, together with the County
Y. M. C. A. organiization thru its state secre-
tary. The exhibit was somewhat hastily
planned and assembled. One of the finest
locations in the whole Armory was alloted to
it, and the management extended every possi-
ble consideration and courtesy to those in
charge of the contributions.

In arranging for this exhibit, the cooperat-
ing denominations, the County Y, M. C. A.
and the Extension Department of Drew Semi-
nary financed the project and provided the
workers to maintain it. Thru the Home Mis-
sions Boards it was possible to secure charts,
literature, sketches, prints, etc., from the vari-

96o

The Publishers' Weekly;

ous bureaus and departments. Plans of
modern churches, parsonages and homes were
furnished by the Church Architecture bur-
eaus. Suirveys and pictures showing rural
churches and communities at work on a mod-
ern program were collected and skillfully ar-
ranged. The book concerns of these denomi-
nations made up collections of well-selected
books, periodicals and other publications.
These were put in charge of special repre-
sentatives who spent the entire week on the
ground. Visitors were encouraged to exam-
ine and a.sk questions regarding the display.
The larger opportunity of cultivating good
reading habits was not neglected by these
trained representatives of a noble industry.

Getting Action Into the Exhibit

All of the displays were attractively assem-
bled and inside the enclosure was mounted a
steredmotograiph or automatic stereoptican.
This machine was used to project a continu-
ous lecture on its self-contained screen. Differ-
ent home field activities encouraged by the
various denominations in rural America were
shown with compelling vividness.

Early in the week, while the large painted
sign, bearing the words from the "Psalms" :

"Every beast of the iorest is mine

and the cattle on a thousand hills . . . for
the world is mine and the fullness thereof"
was being stretched on its frame, an early
visitor paused to watch the process. Seeing
only part of the words of the quotation, he
remarked : "I see you have some cattle up
your way; well we've got quite some cattle
in our county, too." When no immediate
answer was returned he repeated, "Yes, we've
got quite some cattle I want to tell you in
our county !" We were moved to answer,
"These are Mount Zion cattle we are adver-
tising." But the brother was interested and
he was eager to talk about the things in which
his interest lay.

A fine, clean, strong up-standing farmer
came into the Armory one day, to see
an exhibit of farmi products. Just inside the
great doors he stopped and looked around.
He noticed the church exhibit — then came over
with a puzzled expression on his face. "What
is this, anyway? Never saw it this way
before." After examining the various features,
books, charts, pictures, he straightened up,
squared back his shoulders and said : "Now
this is as it should be ! I'll be a better farmer
by being a better churchman. And I'm
mighty glad my church is here with the tools
and visions and culture she recommends for
our use and enjoyment." He turned away to
the other exhibits with a new and a truer
sense of perspective and proportion than he
might otherwise have had.

This venture is to be repeated next year,
and plans are already being made for it. It
is expected that increased facilities together
with the experience gained this year will en-
able an even more effective exhibit next year.
And those who come to Farmers' Week will be
looking for us.

Books were not sold at the booth. They
were attractively displayed, desires aroused
and orders taken for delivery later. Rural
people like to see what is offered them or
is available for them. What clasa does not?
But what class has now less chance to see
the world of culture and joy open thru books
to those who will read, than have these same
rural folk? If the nearly eighty-five per cent
of the leaders in the different professions who
now regularly come from rural sections can
be called and trained for that leadership thru
a more generous and wisely developed use of
the best books the result will be of unques-
tioned nataonal benefit.

It is proposed, then, that we inaugurate a
deliberate and intensive cultivation of the
book-buying and book-reading habit among
rural folk.

Three Definite Ways Are Suggested:

A. Such exhibits as the above mentioned
should be arranged for the Annual State
Farmers' Week — iby whatever name it may
be called in various states. In addition to
this, similar grouping of tables of the best
books should be provided at Farmers' Insti-
tutes and at every County Fair. In connec-
tion with such exhibits, book lectures and
Children's Story Hours could be most profit-
ably planned for. Co-operative arrangement
could be secured between the various publish-
ers and thru the medium of Directors of
Rural Extension in Seminaries and other insti-
tutions, Coimty Y. M. C. A. Secretaries, and
County .Agents and Librarians.

B. Portaible and motorized book-exhibits
should be provided and sent thru rural dis-
tricts, bringing right to the homes the books
recommended for every member of the house-
hold. These books could be selected by a
committee composed of capable and responsi-
ble men and women, interested in the truest
culture. The Extension Departments above-
mentioned are working on plans for such
motor-car exhibits.

C. The mailing-list plan of tlie various
pu/blishers should be extended until it
includes every household in the country. Take
a given county to begin with and regularly
for a stated period supply every pastor in
that county with a package of each new
book-list issued. Secure the free distribution
of these lists to all the homes with the notice
that any householder on request will be put

April

on the mailing list and receive subsequent
copies direct. A comibined list would greatly
facilitate the plan. At least such lists should
be kept posted lin churches, parish and com-
munity buildings. As rapidly as one county
is cultivated, move on to another and repeat
the process.

It is submitted that not only should reli-
gious ibooks 'be more widely distributed among
town and country readers ; but also with pro-
portionate value may we stimulate the read-
ing of poetry, science, invention, history,
drama — as well as the clean, wholesome fiction
of noble^hearte)d writers.

County libraries are being encouraged — and
properly so. It is necessary, however, to en-
courage also the modest and discriminating
purchase of books that may be brought into
the home and retained as permanent household
friends. The best and happiest character will

not be reared in an atmosphere of books when
the\^ are only borrowed — 'any more than in
a home where dishes and chairs, and victuals
are the product of neighborhood foraging
expeditions and must be returned or paid back
as soon as the emergency is past. They should
belong.

It would seem, in conclusion, that there is
needed" a more definite and sympathetic co-
operation between rural pastors and the pub-
lishing houses which would be eager to con-
nect with such distributors. Comprehensive
plans could be worked out for pastors by
which readiing-clubs could be organized in
every rural community. By such means pub-
lishers could be put in the mosli helpful kind
of relation with a potential but neglected class
of the most responsive and appreciative
readers.

THE CHURCHES CARRY BOOKS TO THE FARMERS AT TRENTON, NEW JERSEY

Many German Papers Quit

ON account of the high price of print paper
and other difficulties in production and
taxation, over 150 newspapers in Germany have
decided to cease publication. At a special con-
vention in Weimar, a sharp criticism of the
government's attitude was voiced. Publishers
said that the print paper syndicate had ad-
vanced the price of print paper 3500% over the
pre-war price and expected shortly to set a
price 60 times the old figure. Another diffi-
culty is the 15% taxation on all newspaper
advertising.

Philadelphia Strike Continues

ACCORDING to the American Printer,
al>out six hundred compositors are still on
strike in Philadelphia and draw strike benefits
of $22 weekly for married men and $18 for
single men. While a number of Philadelphia
firms granted the 44-hour week, the majority
of the shops are on the 48-hour basis. Many
of the pressmen who went on strike last May
are still out of work, and it is reported that
several hundred of them have found work in
New York and other cities.

May I Help You To-day?'

By Irving Allen

THE form of the above query, which is as
good as any with which to address a po-
tential customer, assumes the power of the
bookman to help his customers. He merely
waits upon a formal assent. That is funda-
mentally the bookman's position. He should
help the customer, not by merely finding for
him a requested book from confusing tables,
but by being a consulting specialist in the cus-
tomer's personal problem of reading.

One of the frequent exclamations the sales-
man hears lis "Oh, dear! If I only had time
to read. Some year I am going to take a sum-
mer off and do nothing but read." This
lamentation usually comes from some one
who has realized his failure to get the power
and enjoyment from books which are his
due. Reading has been put off until a
heaven-like stretch of leisure is granted, and
that usually means that no important reading
is done. One of the causes of this notion is
the helplessness many persons feel before the
tremendous wave of published matter. Thus it
would be sad if books were defeating their
own end, if modern reading demanded entirely
too much running to keep up. This would be
the bookman's chance to help. He can become
the guide thru this lalbyrinth; he is the medium
that connects each customer with his particular
book.

Most books are read upon recommendation.
Even the person of highly discriminating taste
is attracted to a book by the comment of the
critic ihe admires or relies upon. The great
waves of populanity some books enjoy are en-
hanced thru word of mouth endorsement be-
tween friend and friend. This is not to say
that recommendation alone causes the book's
sale. The reasons that go into the making of
a "best seller" are mysteries to puiblishers, re-
viewers, and book dealers. We all, however,
ll'ike to have others share our enjoyment of a
'book. But there are thousands of good books
on booksellers' shelves that may be important
to readers, more important than the one they
happeiii to buy to "keep up." These others are
merely waiiting to be recommended, to be intro-
duced. There is a book that will give a cus-
tomer a perspective of his own business ; there
are ibiographies of men and women that may
stimulate him to read widely in the history of
a particular epoch ; a book of formulae may
lead to a thrilling hobby. It is that clever dis-
covery of what people want to read and are
interested in that marks the expert book clerk.
Too often he may try to impress the customer
with what he should read. The should argu-
ment is very effective, hcnvever, for those who

want to know what is "going big." But in gen-
eral reading ought to be pleasurable, not la-
borious and uninteresting. Mathematical philos-
ophy may Idc a joy to one, and Gene Stratton-
Porter to another. That is the bookman's task
to discover. He should run with the intuition
of his customer, not against it.

There is a surprisingly large amount of se-
rious reading done in America to-day. Books
on economics, politics., and biography have a
wide appeal. And with the spread of educa-
tion and a genuinq respect for intelligence, the
demand for all kinds of books is bound to in-
crease. In order that this tide may not drown
the customer, the bookman must so guide and
select that his opinion of particular books for
particular customers will be regarded highly.
Once this contact is estalblished a book a week
will not only be bought but read.

For the Promotion of Knowledge

<</^ F the making of many books there is
V-' no end; and on' learning of a new
scheme to facilitate publication, one is not
necessarily rejoiced," says the Independent.
"But there is a class of publications which
is in great need of 'all the help that can be
given to them in the way of organized co-
operation — namely, books and periodicals con-
veying the results of scholarship and research.
It is accordingly a pleasure to learn that a
movement is on foot to provide for this need
in a systematic way.

"Just what shape the movement will take
has ;hot yet been determined; but the idea
seems 'to be to cover two deficiencies, both
of which have been keenly felt. First, there
is the difficulty of getting a publisher for
individual works which, tho of high scientific
and scholarly value, offer no prospect of com-
mercial return; and secondly, there is the
difficulty which our scientific periodicals,
published usually under the auspices of some
university, labor under because of insufficient
pecuniary resources and because of inade-
quate means of publicity and distribution.
An organization of moderate endowment, if
conducted with judgment and in a spirit of
all-round helpfullness, should do much to
promote both the production and the dissem-
ination of scientific and scholarly work — and
indeed the production is often absolutely de-
pendent on the possibility of dissemination.
If such an organization should be formed,
with its conduct in the right hands, it will
be welcomed as a great help to American
learning and science."

What the Milhon Will Read

By Ruth E. Finley

Former Fiction Editor for the Newspaper Enterprise Association

WHEN, after publishing 52 novels, a
strling of mid-western newspapers rep-
resenting more than a million readers
held a contest to find out which of those
serials their publiic liked best, the vote stood
as follows :

Hum.an interest 48%

Adventure 17%

Humor 15%

Mystery 12%

Detective 8%

This kicked into a cocked hat the news-
paper editor's time honored belief that the
newspaper public — ^w^hich, after all, is the
most indicative as well as representative pub-
lic — cared only for the exciting detective or
mystery story, the more blood and thunder
the better.

The contest was held in 191 5 after the
Novel-a-Week feature had been running just
a year. The string of papers that held the
contest is still using serial fiction as a circu-
lation builder and stabilizer, and the policy
adopted after the contest is still being followed
out.

Stories That Jump Circulation

For instance, one of the late purchases for
serial release in these papers is "li Winter
Comes" by A. S. M. Hutchinson. This is
hardly the type of story that the person who
can afford to pay $2 a volume for his fiction
entertainment would expect to be understood
and enjoyed in a factory worker's kitchen.
Yet that string of papers will "cash in" on
the book. 'Tf Winte)r Comesf' will jump
their circulation. Why? For the same reason
"K" by Mary Roberts Rinehart, "Eimpty
Pockets" by Rupert Hughes, "The Real
Adventure," by Henry Kitchell Webster;
"The Turmoil," by Booth Tarkington and doz-
ens of others unlike in kind, but of similar
viewpoint, jumped circulation when they were
run as Novel-a-Week serials. And again
why? Take the Tarkington story as an
example.

At the time "The Turmoil" was released,
May 8. 1916, America was approaching the
peak of the industrial activity resulting from
the war demands of the Allies. Not yet in
the struggle herself, her people sailed on the
high seas of prosperity, a prosperity possible
only because, all during the current generation,
manufacturing and the facilities of manu-
facturing had been steadily and rapidly de-

veloped. G^nsequentiy when Mr. Tarkington
wrote about a manufacturing city, its hustle
and bustle and grime and dirt, the people of a
country that had produced hundreds of just
such towns understood.

Now the moiling city was only the back-
g-round. Out of the educational system with
which every person born on this soil has
longer or shorter experience, Mr. Tarkington
chose his hero, an average type of boy,
familiar to everybody, with youth's burning
ambition to realize dreams. Again the peo-
ple understood the boy's losing fight for his
dreams against industrialism. For dreams
are the heritage of humanity and it is not
inconceivable that the fat Italian fruit seller
on the corner has had a vision of the career
as a grand opera star.

In short, people read for pleasure what they
can understand. Picture a condition which
the reader is able to translate into his own
terms, portray the problems and emotions of
the time, and your book is a success.

There is another element in "The Turmoil"
which appealed strongly to the newsipaper
reader. It postulated a doctrine of compen-
sation. Its hero never had a chance even to
try to become the writer he longed to be;
circumstances forced his artistic soul into the
world of oommercialism. But it was after
he had made good there that he realized he
had found an outlet for his creative ability,
in fashioning his very life according to the
ends he was compelled to serve. A railroad
president knows what that means — and so
does a switch thrower. Neither may gain
contentment, but both must have faith in the
possibility of such attainment, or quit. So
each hugged to his consciousness Tarking-
ton's bolstering suggestion of compensation.

Strong Human Interest Appeal

And here again is why the American man-
in-the-street finds Mr. Hutchinson's story with
its very English setting so adaptable to his
own problems. Mr. Hutchinson's poor hero is
overwhelmed by every tragedy in the calendar
— even to being accused of murder as the re-
sult of a humanitarian act. "Winter" came
for him as an acme of desolation. But the book
moves logically and inevitably to the fulfill-
ment of the quotation's conclusion: "If win-
ter comes, can spring be far behind?"

There are a good many p^eople right now,
the world over, who, while they are not called

q64

The Publishers' Weekly

upon to endure the agonies of Mr. Hutchin-
son's central character, are getting a pretty
fair taste of "winter." Folks are beginning to
wonder if this upset old world of ours will
ever know "spring" again. So they not only
understand the problem the author chose as
thesis for his story but they welcome the con-
clusion. He prods their old inherited beliefs
in the ultimate rightness of the universe, and
hammers home the doctrine of hope.

Incidentally, in any consideration of what
makes for popularity it should be kept in mind
that, all theories to the contrary, the reading
public — and particularly the less educated pub-
lic — demands top-notch work. Not discern-
ing enough to delve under the surface for the
worth of an author's ideas, the emotional
reader (almost everyone is emotional) is
the severest critic. So the writer who makes
a success must get across. He must be a
master of character delineation. Real people
must walk thru his pages. His psychology
must be sound, for the less complex the mind
of the reader the more vivid his understand-
ing of emotion. There never was a truer
axiom than the one about Judy O'Grady and
the Colonel's lady — only about seven times out
of ten the Judys have the firmer grip on life
as it is lived.

Who Reads the Love Stories?

Again, incidentally, readers of love stories
are not young girls but women past thirty.
This fact, gleaned from a desk swamped with
enthusiastic letters each time I released a
serial in w^hich the love interest predominated,
puzzled me for several years. Then finally I
realized that my "love fan" correspondents
were themselves beyond the actively romantic
period. Their own love life was past or wan-
ing and they devoured this type of story as a
sort of emotional stimulant. Consequently
the popularity of the love story can never be
in question. Always founded in a problem,
marriage;, it tends in these days to become
linked with the greater social problem.

Probaby the decline in popularity of the de-
tective and m3'stery stories, primarily on the
down grade because of their lack of vital per-
sonal bearing, has been hastened by the
movies. A few of the older and established
authors of this sort of book manage to make
the best seller lists, but the younger writers
who attain this desirable distinction, have put
our Main Streets on paper for us, or brought
national aflfairs to general attention with such
books as "The Pride of Palomar."

The legitimate devotee of the unadulterated
adventure mystery or detective yarn is youth —
the young mind in the no-matter-how-old
body. Adolescence finds the screen and the

movement and crowd enthusiasm of the pic-
ture theater far more stimulating than a book
beside the evening lamp. And this is true to-
day of maturity also, stirred as it is by the
atmosphere of unrest that characterizes our
present way of life.

That the even surety of before-the-war liv-
ing can never return, for this generation at
least, is pretty well accepted. Change, radical
and fundamental, is in the air. But in what
direction? No man can forecast conditions
fifty — ten years hence. So many things that
appeared to be established have gone by the
boards. For the individual there is not fear
of the future, perhaps, but an unnamed doubt.
And this feeling has been accumulating ever
since Europe plunged into war. It is espe-
cially true of the newspaper public — the not
over-discerning, decidedly unanalytical, yet
developing man-on-the-street individual. The
times have taught him that his own problems
are not only personal but general. He is not
so sure of being able to take out of the world
what he wants for himself, nor for his chil-
dren. It is not only a question of making
good. Even then he faces an element of un-
certainty. After he gets will he be able to
keep ? Indeed, ought he to keep what he gets ?

And so people have been made to think, not
always straight, as they never did before.
They don't seem to be able to read just for
amusement. So they turn from the unreal-
ities of Raffles prowess to those 1x)oks which
give some aid in analyzing current problems
by picturing them convincingly.

Consider the world's dislocation. It is not
surprising that books written for entertain-
ment only, that carry no "message," enjoy less
and less popularity. All of which does NOT
mean that the entertainment story will never
come back. It will, provided the national
consciousness grows tired of thinking and de-
cides again to live on comfortable terms with
life as is and things as are.

Esparto Paper Combine

ESPARTO paper made from Esparto grass,
wMch is very largely used for books in
England, is to be exploited by a combination
of ten Scottish mills which are largely en-
gaged in the manufacture of this special type
of paper. They hope to develop a large busi-
ness in Americai, where this light weight stock
has not been largely used. Esparto grass from
which it is manufactured is grown in large
quantities in Afriica and to a smaller extent
in Spain. It has been so largely used in Eng-
lish octavo volumes that many people in this
country instinctively think of an English book
of memoirs as being especially light in weight
compared to our own American product.

Books Make Better Homes

THE most adequate application of the cam-
paign for promoting the sale of practical
books in the home was that planned and car-
ried thru by Walter McKee of John V. Shee-
han & Company of Detroit. During the sec-
ond week in March, the Detroit Retail Furni-
ture Association held a "Better Homes" ex-
hibit in Arcadia Hall. The exhibit filled
fifty-one different rooms, and over forty thous-
and people attended in four days. Mr, Mc-
Kee arranged that practically every exhibit
should have some appropriate l3O0ks in it.
Special emphasis was laid not so much on the
home library of standard literature as on the
practical books that would make home manage-

ment and home gardening, etc. more easy, with
the emphasis, too, on practical reference books
for the bookshelf. These exhibits of books
were foillowed up by large three-column dis-
play space in the newspaper. It is said by
those who saw the exhibit that the books
added a human touch to the furniture, so that
both parties were gainers.

That books can be pictured as part of home
life to a wider public is shown by the in-
creasing appearance o[ bookcases and books
among our illustrated advertisements. The
current number of the New York Times Book
Review carries an advertisement of Scribner's
subscription department, picturing the at-

Selling Gift Books

AVERY clear idea of the type of book that
the miodern store finds of especial interest
to those who are to use books as gifts is in-
dicated by a special catalog published for this
purpose by McDevitt- Wilson's Bookstore in
New York. This catalog is a very neat piece
of printing of 72 pages of enclosure size with
a foreword on the place of books as gifts, di-
rections for ordering and three different lists.
The first list is of such standard titles as are
most usually recognized as desirable for gift
purposes, 120 items in all — such books as
"Lorna Doone," "Golden Treasury," Kipling's
"Collected Verse," etc. Then follows a list of
the standard authors that are purchasable in
handy form of separate volumes, 32 different
authors are listed with each separate volume
itemized. There is no doubt that the flexible
leather books have done a great deal in in-

creasing the popularity of books as gifts, as
they are in every way attractive to the recipient
and, with the variety now obtainable, can easily
express the sentiments of the giver. The third
section of the catalog is a list of specially bound
l)Ooks and nice editions from the fine book
stock of the store. In discussing the place of
books as gifts, the catalog carries the following
foreword :

"Books are the best gifts. In addition to
their intrinsic value, they are a subtle tribute
to the mind and character of the recipient.'
When in doubt, therefore, give your friend a
book. And lif you do not find it easy to choose
the right title out of the multitude of new pub-
lications, select a tastefully bound classic, such
as you will find described herein."

Historic Washington as a Playground

Another Letter to You !

967

Dear Bill Bookseller:

THIS is the first opportunity I have had
to write you of the coming Convention in
Washington, for we have been so busy
trying to "frame up" something that will ap-
peal to you all. And, say, Bill, I think we've
done it ! I'm not going to say anything about
the daily sessions, except that I know you'll
be interested in them from beginning to finish,
and they in themselves will surely repay you
for coming from any distance.

In the first place,
on Monday evening,
we are going to
visit, informally, the
Congressional Li-
brary. I say "in-
formally" for they
never have any pub-
lic receptions there —
and you^ll be mighty
glad to have seen one
of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

On Tuesday night, the Women's National
Book Association is to have a dance — a Colon-
ial Dance, I believe, at the New Willard with
plenty of stunts and eats and jazz. For this,
no charge.

On Wednesday evening at 7:15 we are go-
ing to have special cars, which will take us
to the wharves, where we will board a
specially chartered steamboat for a four hour
trip down the beautiful Potomac, by moon-
light; I say moonlig^ht, for I have ordered it
special. If you don't believe it, look it up on
your calendar. And there's going to be mu-
sic and maybe dancing, and mayibe something
when you're dry — not what you're thinking
about — and there are going to be some moon-
light spots — and some not so light, and we'll
sing the old songs n'everything. And for this
again, there is no charge!

But on Thursday, — ^Oh boy! That's going
to be some day! We have chartered special
electric trains and leave in the morning at
9:30, going directly to Arlington, the National
Cemetery — 'and there we'll see the tomb of
the "Unknown Soldier" and the wonderful
amphitheater, and the Robert Lee Homestead,
and we will have someone to point out briefly
all the interesting spots.

Then we board our private trains again
(some class) and wi'll be taken to that famous
old Virginia town of Alexandria, and visit
Christ Church, where Washington worshipped,

22nd ANNUAL

BOOKSELLERS' CONVENTION

New Willard, WASHINGTON

May 8, 9, 10, 11. 1922

and if you behave yourself, I'll let you sit
in the pew Washington owned — ^and then
we'll visit tihe famous old fire engine house
with all the original apparatus — and then we
may visit the Old Masonic Hall where Wash-
ington was Master, and after we have had our
fill of all these things, we'll take our train,
our very own, and ride for a short time, till
we come to Mt. Vernon, the most sacred
shrine in America.

By that time, our appetite will probably
be on edge, so we'll have some lunch — some
'rj lunch — I say, after
which w€ will be
j taken thru tihe old
•house and grounds
and wiill pro-bably
: leave for home (for
Washington is your
Capitol, you know, old
top) and reach there
about three o'clock.
And I think, altho
I can't promise, that we may be able to go
thru the White House, and say, won't that be
great? And when that is over, we'll call it
a day, and 3^our wife can go to the hotel for
a little "beauty sleep" to be in trim for the
banquet in the evening. And the Banquet,
Bill, the banquet I I wisih I could, but I can't
tell you any of the details at this time. All
I can say is that the hall has a capacity of
8oo guests, so you'd better make your reserva-
tions early (I don't mean to be funny). And
for all this big Thursday and Thursday even-
ing, there'll be no CHARGE!!

The only expense will be the ten dollar
registration fee for each person — that means
ten for you and ten for your wife. It sure
is a great feeling for us booksellers to know
that we, ourselves, unassisted, are going to
"put over" the biggest Convention of Amer-
ican Booksellers the world has ever known.
And, say, boy, I almost forgot one of the
most important things — be sure to bring your
golf clubs with you. Within ten minutes of
the hotel is one of the finest municipal courses
in the country. You can play eighteen holes
and be hack in time for breakfast.

So send in your reservations early — direct
to the hotel — ^and arrange your table for the
banquet — before you come — and you'll make
everyone happy, including

Yours cordially,

Simon L. Nye,
Chairman Convention Publicity Committee.

The Publishers' Weekly

The Present State of Book Manufacture

WHEN A. Edward Newton shouted his
rallying cry from the Rages of the
Atlantic Monthly, to be taken up by pub-
lishers and booksellers, the emphasis was not
on mere reading, but on the owning of books,
and ever since the slogan was minted "Buy a
Book a Week" has been the basis of well-
reasoned arguments for owning a library. To
formulate such arguments, one had, of course,
to ask, "Why do people buy books, anyway?"
Many people purchase books merely for the
temiporary pleasure they provide, exactly as
one buys candy or flowers. The only perma-
nent results of such expenditure are pleasant
memories. A more telling argument for the
owning of books is that of personal better-
ment. Many commodities make use of this
same argument, but books can make a stronger
plea for two reasons — for tho Lux may be sold
to preserve the dedicate tint of your Sunday
blouse, and Rinso to preserve the youth that
would otherwise be rubbed away, and Falm
Olive soap to preserve that school girl com-
plexion, these are, in spite of efforts, doomed
to an eventual demise, but the mind or the
soul, we believe, may be preserved and im-
proved by knowledge and inspiration. And
that is what books can provide. Moreover,
books have the quality of the Miiraculous
Pitcher — no matter how often the source is
drained, it is just as full and ready to be
drained. So, aS a permanent collection, books,
it is argued, possess a distinct advantage over
Woodbury's soap or Blue Goose Grapefruit.
In this way, too, they possess an advantage
over opera or concert tickets.

To Encourage Ownership

B'ut if all these arguments are to be used, they
entail real responsibility on the part of the mak-
ers of books. If books are to condescend to con-
cert tickets with the miraculous pitcher argu-
ment it is not enough for the contents ctf the
books to be inspired, their manufacture must
also be so sound as to insure their permanency.
It would be unfortunate if the growing enthusi-
asm for book ownership were not accompanied
by an enthusiasm for good manufacture. Sev-
eral book collectors have written to the Pub-
ushers' Weekly recently, sharply commenting
on the present state of book manufacture, and
these earnest letters may well make any pub-
lisiher or bookseller pause, examine his stock,
and think.

A bookseller of twenty-five years' experience
writes :

"In my twenty-seven years of selling, I
have found that satisfied customers are and
have been our greatest asset and in order to

make book lovers, books must be made lovely
things, and that the quality of the paper, cover,
and make-up of the book lend a great deal i
to its value. I believe that at this time more 1
attention ought to be paid to the quality of
the paper, cover and general makeup of the
book than heretofore.

What To Do About Children's Books?

"There has been quit'e a general feeling of
dissatisfaction both among dealers and buyers
as to the quality of books and this is more
especially marked in the library trade. There
is a great deal of complaint, and librarians say
to me 'what shall we do about these children's
books?' I tell them simply to write the publish-
ers and if they don't choose to make their books
a little better, not to buy them, as there are
plenty of good juveniles that can be bought in
a little better paper. Some librarians have told
me that unless ipaper and binding improved on
certain books, they would cut these titles off
their lists altogether. As a matter of fact, the
paper now being used in a $1.50 or $2.00 book
to-day is not as good as that used on 10 cent
and 25 cent paper covered books ten years ago.

To Get Away From War Discomfort

'T do hope that something can be done and
know that it would be a good thing for the
book business all around. Anything to get
away from this feeling of dissatisfaction and
discomfort that has grown out of the war.
During the war cheeapening was apparently
necessary, in order to keep the prices of books
down. Now there should be considerable im-
provement along this line. People look at the
cover and paper and say they would not care
to give thei book away or have it in their own
library, so will read it at the public library
or at the club but will not purchase it. If
you would come into our place for a day or
two and handle a few of these books, I know
that as a book lover you would feel just
about as much satisfaction as you would piling
cordwood. The price of paper has come down
and tho it is probable that we will never se-
cure as good a quality of paper as we did
once, I am sure that something might be done
along that line.

"I am going to hammer away at this thing
and interest other people to hammer at it, even
at the risk of gettting myself disliked. I am
going to call the matter to the attention of book-
sellers generally and I believe that anything
you can do would render a great service in the
interests of all concerned."

A bookseller in the far west writes:

"I have been buying books for the past half
vear at the rate of about twenty a month. In

April I, 1922

969

beginning to collect a small home library I have
not wanted full sets of any author, but I have
not been able to get single volumes O'f the clas-
siics I wanted except in unattractive editions.

"I am able to pay the price for a good, sound,
standard edition of my books, I do not need
to buy the cheap condensed editions nor am I
able to afford hand, bound leather editions de
luxe at eight to ten dollars a volume. But I
want my books to be worthy of a permanent
place on my shelves in their physical qualities,
and very few of the first 120 volumes I have
bought are so worthy.

'This state of affairs does not encourage the
collecting of a home library, a hobby that is
profitable to puiblishers."

When Books Are Opened

A Philadelphia book collector writes :
"Whenever I read, in the Weekly, your no-
tices of books under the heading of "Good
Book Making," I wonder just what, nowadays,
is supposed to be included in this subject.
Pleasant type? Good quality paper? Attrac-
tive bindling? We are well supplied in all these
matters. But it seems to me that one of the
most important points of good book making is
being entirely neglected.

"Possibly the average publisher cares little
how long his book will 'stand up' after it is
sold, and a dealer cares no more. I have had
salesmen in stores, offering me a book, open
it before me to exhibit it, to the music of a
loud crack from the tender lining material.
After one reading, such books are no credit to
either dealer or publiisher. Again, I have se-
cured untouched books and opened them with
the greatest care, only to -have them break
quite as badly, sometimes between a dozen or
more sections.

Printing No Longer a Craft

"It was formerly the custom, with some sub-
scription publishers, to enclose, in each volume
sent out, a printed slip, cautioning care in the
opening of a new book and recommending that
it be handled carefully the first time and opened
gradually, turning down a few leaves at a
time from each end ; some such directions, as
I recall, gave a line cut by way of exact ex-
planation.

It would not, be far from the truth to say
tliat ninety-nine people out of a hundred have
no idea of how to open a new book in this way.
And possiibly only half of these care very much
whether the book breaks or not. But those who
do care, and to whom books are something a
Hittle more important and permanent than a
newspaper or magazine, have, I think, some
right to expect reasonable durability as well as
a pleasant appearance in books which certainly
cost enough to insure both.

"Printing, which was once a craft, is now a
business. But, to say nothing of craftsman-
ship, is it even good business for modern pub-
lishers to ignore the durability of their books?
Is a firmer stitching and more careful assembly
less a part of good book making than other
points which simply attract the eye? And, iif
not, should lit not' receive more attention and,
in the same connection, should not the ordinary
book buyers be educated, by means of printed
directions, to open their books more carefully
on the first reading and to treat them with
more consideration?

"To criticize 99 out of 100 books would
overstate the case, altho the provocation is
sometimes so great that I feel like that other
disgruntled indivadual who proclaimed that 'all
men are liars,' taking no chances on an under-
estimate. At any rate, the ratio is pretty high
and, according to my experiences, is not evenly
distributed among the publishers. That is,
nearly all the books of one house may be well
sewn while nearly all the books of another may
be badly sewn. I have frequently written pufc-
lishers on the subject and invariably receive a
letter of regret and an offer to supply a new
copy of the book ; but the answer to the prob-
lem is not a new copy to such people as com-
plain but rather a properly substantial edition
in the first place."

A Library Report

The annual report of the Grand Rapids Pub-
lic Library says :

"The general book binding situation, especial-
ly for neiw books, is the worst I have known in
my whole library experience. In a previous re-
port I referred to the fact that some books have
to be. repaired or rebound after goiing into cir-
culation only once or twice on account of the
poor quality of the binding as they come from
the publishers. This, however, is not the only
trouble we are having in this connection, for
in the assembling of the printed sections of the
books for binding there are an extraordinary
number of mistakes being made, duplicating
certain sections, leaving out others, etc., so that
the 'books come to us imperfect. The other-
day the Uibrary received 11 copies of a popular
reference book which is used at mosti of the-
Branch Libraries. Seven of these had to be
returned because of missing pages due to
faulty work in the establishment where the
books were bound. The situation is such that
it is necessary for the Library to examine care-
fully or collate every reference work that
comes to us. It is the rarest thing that we-
get a considerable number of volumes now
that come to us iperfect, because of the indilf-
ferent work done in the publishers' binderies.""

THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON

February 27, 1922.

It Is a plcasiire to endorse the
program of your oiganlBation for the wider
circulation of books of a religious character.

I strongly feel that every good parent
cares for his child's body, that the child may
have a normal and healthy life and growth;
cares for his child's mind, that the child may
take his proper place in a world of thinking
people; and such a parent mast also train his
child's character religiously, that the world
may become morally fit. Unless this is done,
trained bodies and trained minds may sinrply add
to the destructive forces of the world.

Very sincerely.

PRESIDENT HARDING S LETTER TO THE RELIGIOUS BOOK WEEK COMMITTEE

Voting for the Best Travel Books

A VOTE on the best books of travel has
been conducted during the past week at
the biig Travel Show in Grand Central
Palace, New York, and the result will be an-
nounced shortly by the judges, Josephine
Adams Rathbone of the Pratt Institute, author
of "Viewpoints of Travel" and Louis Froe-
lich, Editor of Asia, and Frederic G. Melcher
of the Publishers' Weekly. Thru anounce-
ments in the press, nominations were asked for
a preliminary list of the best twenty-five titles.
and this list being reprinted has been passed
out at the Travel 'Show, so that anyone may

vote as to which arej the best ten travel books
to toe placed on this preliminary list.

The suggestions that came to the Committee
included in all 198 titles, covering seemingly
every possi'ble field of authorship and territory.
There was so little concerted action that many
books received only a few votes. In two cases
the ballots showed the result of some special
effort to stimulate appreciation of certain titles,
and a very heavy vote was cast for "The Sea
and Sardinia" by D. H. Lawrence and for two
books by Sydney Greenbie and one by Mrs.
Greenbie. The list is) to be printed on the bal-

lot, arranged chronologically, by date of pub-
lication, and is as follows :

fansson.
The Pacific Triangle. By Sydney Greenbie.
It lis interesting to see that America is not
without aippreciation of the debt it owes to
Marco Polo and that such a famous set as
Hakluyt's "Voyages" received many votes.
"The South Sea Idylls" is a book that has
been too much lost sight of, tho ranked among
the (best books that the South Sea has pro-
duced. Stanley's first 'book received more pre-
liminary votes than his more famous
volume, "Through Darkest Africa." All of
Franck's books were spoken of, but none has
equalled "The Vagaibond Journey" in popu-
larfit>'. It is interesting to notice that our pub-
lic apparently likes home-made books of travel,
as about sixty per-cent of the titles were by
American authors. While the total number
mentioned gave Europe large precedence as a
territory of interest, there were only five books
on Europe among the first twenty-five, indi-
cating that few titles of European travel take

a real preeminence. Australia was the only
continent not included in any title sent in. Such
old-time titles as Johnson's "Tour of the Heb-
rides" and' Byron's "Childe Harold" and Au-
gustus Hare's books were mentioned. Perhaps
the most unusiwal suggestion was that of "Seven
Year's Street Preaching in California" by Will-
iam Taylor. One voter showed a loyalty to
youthful enthusiasm by mentioning "Under
Drake's Flag" by Henty. The report as to the
voting at the Travel Show will be printed next
week.

Export Conditions

6<f N Australasia there is nothing approaching

■I a slump in books, nor is there likely to be,"
says the Book Post. "The worst that can be
said is that the abnormal demand has ceased
and that orders are now given with caution and
restraint that two years ago were given with
reckless extravagance. Our friends on the
lother side have a good deal of stock, accumu-
lated at that time, which they are rather
anxious to clear off.

"This means that the market for books, es-
pecially novels by new authors, is considerably
restricted, and is probably less than it was
before the war. Publishers who formerly took
risks with a new novelist depending upon the
export demand will be well advised to take this
into account.

"At the same time the demand for novels
by well-known writers continues with little
change. First orders of new books are smaller
than they were, but if the new novel is up to
standard the demand will not fail, and the
event will be as satisfactory as in the days of
large subscription orders. With more definite-
ness we must say, that this is subject to cer-
tain conditions, the chief of which is price.

"The chief demand is for popular authors
at two shillings. The Australasian is fond of
reading, but he likes his favorite author at a
low price. There is a slump in the shilling
paper covered novel.

"From Canada the news comes of satis-
factory trade in books, but chiefly of cheap edi-
tions. The Canadian market is kept stocked
with cheap editions of American novels which
are handled entirely by "jobbers" after the pub-
lishers have exhausted the demand for these
novels at the original published price. Un-
fortunately the r\merican novel tends more
and more to appeal to the Canadian taste, and
this and the fact that it can be bought at a
popular price make it practically impossible
for English novels to find a public unless prices
are at least equal. The Canadian lx)ok market
is gradually becoming Americanized, and Eng-
lish publishers might with profit set about
considering what can be done to counteract this
tendency."

ALONG
BOOK

*Take Alonga Book"

AVERY interesting and decidedly attractive
form of bookstore promotion has just
gone out from the Year Round Bookselling
Committee to all dealers. It consists of a
transparency 7^ inches wide which is ap-
plied to the window pane. Inside of the neatly
designed circlet are the words, "Take Along
A Book," a selling emphasis delivered at just
the time when the passerby may have noticed
a book in the window, but, having noticed it,
had not applied to himself the idea of taking a
book with him.

These transparencies are most carefully ex-
ecuted and can be a dignified appendage to a
window of even the most exclusive shop. The
color is a very delicate yellow with red letters.
To put it on the window the surface is wet
with a sponge or cloth and the circlet pressed
tightly to the g^ass, where it will stay attached
for as long as the dealer wishes, for several
years if desired or, it can be removed. It can
'be attached either on the outside or inside of
the glass according to the needs. The com-
mittee has also had this design made into
electros oi 1% inches across, and these will be
supplied to retailers to use in their advertising
at 70c postpaid.

Home Planning Reading List

A LIST of twelve practical books on home
planning has been prepared by the American
Library Association in an 8-page pamphlet for
general distribution by either libraries or book-
stores. The list has a decorative cover and short
introduction. The books include discussion of
various styles of architecture, of different mate-
rials and practical plans.

A Chicago Wage Decision

A S arbitrator in the feeders' wage discus-
^^sion in Chicago, Dean Heilman of North-
western University has rendered a decision,
cutting the minimum rate for those who were
receiving $39.60 to $37.80 per week and junior
workmen from $24.90 to $23.10. The rates go
into effect March 26th for one year. This de-
cision affects virtually all the printing and
publishing houses in Chicago.

In announcing the decision, Dean Heilman
commented on the Union's argument that
$2445 was the minimum wage which would
enaible a man to support a wife and three
children in health and efficiency according to
the American standard. "This theory," said
Dean Heilman, "sets forth an ideal which
should eventually be established in all Amer-
ican business, but the fact is that the total
annual income of the United States is not
large enough to provide such a wage to every
adult wage earner, and there is no indication
that the printing industry is more profitable
than any other."

This comment, which has been widely
quoted, draws attention to the statistics as to
the nation's annual income, which, according
to the figures, is about $60,000,000,000 for
40,000.000 receivers of income, or about $1500
a year. Only 10. per cent of the incomes of
the United States average over the figure set
jby the printers as necessary, 90 per cent of
them run under that figure. The wage scale
adopted gives the feeders about $2000 a year,
and 87 per cent of thq incomes of the coun-
try are less than that figure.

Wolcott Back in Business

THE lure of bookselling has its victories now
as in the time gone by. Clarence E. Wolcott
is back in the book business ; with all the fresh
enthusiasm of a youth and the ripe knowledge
of a veteran, he returns to the profession and
has opened a Book & Gift Shop at Skaneateles,
in central New York, where he has been living
quietly since closing his famous shop at Syra-
cuse, three years ago. With him, he will have
an associate in Mrs. Wolcott who takes per-
sonal charge of all merchandise other than
books. His present plan is to build up local
trade which has ready connections with other
prosperous towns in the neighborhood, and
develop a mail order business among many
book buyers in that part of the state with
whom he has done business in the past.

Mr. Wolcott has a record as one of the
founders o-f the American Booksellers' Asso-
ciation, and during several of its earlier and
critical years was its president and a ceaseless
worker in its interests.

Parcel Post Packages may now
be Sealed

THE Post Office Department has issued a
ruling that articles when enclosed in sealed
parcels bearing printed labels which show the
nature of the contents, the name of the manu-
facturer, producer or shipper, and endorsed
"Postmaster: This parcel may be opened for
inspection if necessary," shall be accepted for
mailing at parcel post rates. It is not nec-
essary to state the QUANTITY of the con-
tents of the package. Descriptions like this
are sufficient: "Cooking Utensils," "Confec-
tionery," "Food Products," "Hardware,"
"Wearing Apparel."

Books would be marked:

CONTENTS: Books
Postmaster: This parcel may be opened
for postal inspection if necessary.

Substituting for Gold Leaf

ONE of the continuing experiments in the
book binding field has been the attempt
to find a substitute for gold which could be
used as easily as plain ink and yet stay untarn-
ished as long as the leaf itself. After a good
many failures which have only shown up their
failure after some years on the book owner's
shelves, it is reported that a formula has been
discovered which the inventors have trade-
marked as "alchemic gold." The tests seem
to prove that this will stand the test of time
without rubbing ofif or losing lustre. An ad-
vantage that has been looked for in this experi-
mentation oomes from the fact that in using
gold leaf the whole surface of the area included
by the design to be stamped in has to be cov-
ered with the leaf, while, in using a substi-
tute that can be handled like ink, only the let-
tering or the design itself needs to be covered,
with consequent saving of material.

Macmillan to Build

THE large building lot on the corner of
Twelfth Street and Fifth Avenue, New
York, which the Macmillan Company has
owned for some time is soon to be the scene of
building operations. This lot was acquired by
Macmillan just at the time the war broke out,
and building costs rose so rapidly that construc-
tion plans have been delayed. The location has
a fine frontage on both streets and a perman-
ent light to the south; on account of the church
which is on the next corner. The balance of
the frontage on Fifth Avenue is occupied by
Macmillan's present building, 66 Fifth Avenue
and the corner building erected some years ago

THE prize winning doll in Knopf's contest
for "Cytherea" window displays was
modeled and dressed by Miss Katherine Pier-
son and displayed in Frank Shay's Bookshop ,
in New York. Knopf's received photographs
from all over the country, and many attempted
to visualize the peculiarly enigmatic and fas-
cinating heroine. Miss Pierson's doll was
dressed in an old-fashioned bell skirt of plum
colored silk With yellow bodice and black
Spanish lace. As displayed in Mr. Shay's

shop in Detroit, and the third prize for a
doll used in Lord & Taylor's Bookshop in

The Publishers' Weekly

Women and Bookselling

A Monthly Department of News and Theory — Edited by Virginia Smith Cowper

THIS is probably the most extensively used
book-plate in the world. The desiigner,
Anna Milo Upjohn, who has been associ-
ated with the Junior Red Cross in Europe,
has seen this book-plate placed in all of the
American hooks which have been g'iven by
that organization to the schools oif France,
Italy, Russiia, Albania, Czecho- Slovakia, Hun-
gary, Rumania, Austria, Bulgaria and Jugo-
slavia. Miss Upjohn has done many things
worth while in black-and-white and in oils,
and, when asked where and with whom she
studied, modestly said, "It was in many places,
usually for a few months at a time and dis-
connectedly, 'but that which counted for most
was in Paris under Castelucho and Lucien
Simon." Altho she has been "on the wing"
for the last five j'^ears in Europe, the place
she calls "home'' is Jersey City, N, J., but for
the present she is stationed in Washing-
ton, D. C.

Among the new members O'f the Women's
National Book Association, is Dorothea Hert-
zog, editor of Movie Weekly. She ds much
interested in the organization and feels that

her work is closely allied with that of book-
selling.

There is a coffee house at 24 Beekman
Street, New York;, which carries a sign, "Good
things to eat; (Good friends to greet; GOOD
BOOKS TO READ." Here are two enter-
prising young women, Jeanette and Josephine
Ware, graduates of the University of Mlin-
nesota, carrying on a restaurant with the walls
lined with bookshelves upon which rest the
old favorites as well as the new ones in litera-
ture. Here one may have lunch, quietly with
a favorite author close at hand. As one inter-
viewer put lit you ask the waiter for "Scram-
bled eggs, with 'Mr. Prohack,' please; or
creamed chicken on toast with Vogue." The
Misses Ware started with one small book-
shelf, but now, owing to the great demand for
books during lunch, they have been forced to
line the walls with them. The idea is a very
popular one with their patrons, judging from
the emptiness of the shelves during the rush
hour. No one ever runs off with the books,
altho no charge is made for the use of them.
The books are bought 'by the proprietors, who
use this method Oif advertising their shop,
knowing that folks will return day after day
for lunch in order to finish a story so com-
fortably begun.

Mrs. Alice Spence Geddes Lloyd, head of
the Caney Creek Community Centre, Pippa-
pass, Knott County, Kentucky, is making
arrangements for a lecture tour thru the
Northern States in a short time. Mrs. Lloyd
will 'bring along with her three mountain boys
who will assist her with the program. The
library in this community is a very popular
place, and she states that it is almost impos-
sible to satisfy the demands that these moun-
tain folk make upon it. A fourth branch has
just been opened with an even thousand
volumes. These branches are in addition to
the little libraries which have been placed in
the schools in the remote districts.

Marie Robinson and Ellen Ringer have Ijeen
carrying on a very successful exhibition of the
paintings of Carleton C. Fowler at their shop,
The Bookery, 11 West 47th St., New York.
The canvases, large and small, are well dis-
tributed about the shop, some hung and others
upon easels. This collection includes land-
scapes in water-colors and oils and thumb-box
sketches. Some of the larger oils are "Fifth
Avenue at Twilight," "Willows in Spring" and
"In the Pine Woods." During the absence
of Mrs. Robinson from New York, her place
in the shop will be taken by Lucille Polianov,
a newcomer to the book-trade.

Obituary Notes

ERNEST ALFRED VIZETELLY

Ernest Alfred Vizetelly, author, traveler
and editor, died at his home in Hampstead,
England, after a long illness, on March 26th.
lie was in his sixty-ninth year. While still
in his teens, he became a newspaper correspond-
ent and illustrator for several London peri-
odicals during the Franoo-Prussian War and
vvas in Paris thruout the Commune. He was
associated with Vizetelly & Company, publish-
LTS, as editor, during their brief career, and
was the translator of Zola's works. His writ-
ings include : "My Days of Adventure, 1870-
71"; "True Story of Alsace-Lorrame" ; "Paris
and Her People"; "In Seven Lands"; "The
Court of the Tuilleries, 1852-1870" ; "The An-
archists, Their Creed and Record" ; "True
Story of Chevalier d'Ek)n"; and the following
novels: "The Scorpion"; "A Path of Thorns";
"The Lover's Progress"; and "Blush Rose."
His brother, Frank H. Vizetelly, is now con-
nected with the Literary Digest and the Stand-
ard Dictionary.

There were three brothers : Ernest A.
Vizetelly, Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, of New
York City, and the late Edward H. Vizetelly.
The Vizetelly firm got into trouble with the
criminal authorities for bninging out certain
of the books of Emile Zola in English. Yet
some years later when the realistic novelist
visited London he was received with honor.

SECOND HAND BOOK PRICES

Los Angeles Public Library

Los Angeles, California,

March 17, 1922.
Editor, Publishers' Weekly:

Is it a fact, as stated 'by "Burdock" in the
issue of February 25th, that libraries are un-
willing to pay fair prices for "o. p." books,
or does "Burdock" quote too high prices? I
do not believe that as a general rule libraries
go to the trouble of placing weekly adver-
tisements in the "Books Wanted" column and
then fail to buy if they receive reasonable
offers.

It is very frequently the case that we re-
ceive several answers for a single item on
which the highest quotation is double that of
the lowest offer. We recently advertised for
"The Thrall of Lief the Lucky" and bought
all copies offered under the original publication
price.

The mere fact that a book is not listed
in the latest copy of the publishers' catalog
makes it consodered "o. p.," but does not

necessarily justify charging a premium for
the hundreds of copies available in second-
hand stores all over the country. We may
advertise ifor a book which we are willing
to buy at the original price, but not at a
premium.

This library is placing ads at regular inter-
vals and securing satisfactory results, having
secured missing volumes of some important
continuations and replacement of recent books.
Probably there has never been a time when
the publishers were allowing so many titles in
constant demand by libraries to go out of
print, and it ds in this connection that I find
the "Books Wanted" column of great assist-
ance.

Very truly yours,

Albert C. Read,
Principal of Order Department.

SECOND HAND PRICES AGAIN

Zelienople, Pa.
Editor, Publishers' Weekly,

Would you iplease call attention to the
ridiculous practice some book dealers have
of quoting absurd and excessive prices to very
ordinary, common and in no wise expensive
books lin reply to inquiries in your "Books
Wanted."

I recently advertised for a copy of Bill
Nye's ''Comic History of U. S," a book
very common and worth at most $2.00, and
was simply deluged with offers of from $1.20
to $15.00.

Yours truly,

P. L. D.

Personal Notes

Frank C. Dodd, of Dodd, Mead & Company,
sailed for England on March 23rd. Before
leaving, Mr. Dodd stated that, because of the
recent purchase of the John Lane line, and the
large increase to the Dodd Mead I'ist, he would
probably not add materially to the books al-
ready arranged for this year ; that he was more
interested in perfecting plans and securing ma-
terial for 1923. Mr. Dodd plans to visit W. J.
Locke at his home in Cannes, and while in
England, will see Archibald Marshall, W. B.
Maxwell, Muriel Hine, Arthur Rees, Anthony
Pryde, Michaiel Arlen, Berta Ruck, Olive
Wadsley, and other Dodd Mead authors.

Harold Hunting, who was formerly man-
ager of the Religious Book Shop, and more
recently with McDevitt- Wilson's, goes April
first to the George H. Doran Co. where he will
assist Charles M. Roe, head of the religious
department.

place not to judge the books. Pamphlet material and books of lesser trade interest are listed
in smaller type.

The entry is transcribed from title page when the book is sent for record. Prices are added except
when not supplied by publisher or obtainable only on specific request. When not specified the binding is
cloth.

Imprint date is stated [or best available date, preferably copyright date, in bracket] only when it
differs from year of entry. Copyright date is stated only when it differs from imprint date: otherwise
simply "c." No ascertainable date is designated thus: [n. d.].

music in this country, were mutilated and
stolen by burglars last week. It is regarded as
improbable that the manuscripts that were car-
ried away will be offered for sale in this coun-
try, in the near future, at least, because they
could be so easily traced.

The fifth volume of "Autograph Prices Cur-
rent, 1919-21," founded by the late E. H. Cour-
ville, of Lx)ndon, now edited and published by
Mrs. A. J. Herbert has just made its appear-
ance. Formerly an annual, two years' records
have been run into one alphabet in order to
bring the publication quickly up-to-date. Deal-
ers and collectors will be glad to learn of the
revival of this reference work.

Charles F. Heartman has printed a limited
edition of eighty-six copies, five on Japan pa-
per, of the rare "Narrative of the Captivity of
William Biggs" among the Kickappoo Indians
in 1788 written by himself, making No. 37 in
the Heartman Historical Series. The volume
is printed on handmade paper, bound in gray
boards and is an interesting addition to the
series.

George Watson Cole, president of the Bibli-
ographical Society of America, in discussing
the high prices of rare books is of the opinion
that the recent great advances are not an un-
mixed evil, as they stimulate the owners of
libraries to search thru their books and place
newly discovered and unknown works upon
the market. It is also an important factor lin
creating greater respect ior old Iwoks and
tends to insure their preservation.

A "Special Libraries Directory" edited by
Dorsey W. Hyde, listing more than 1300 spe-
cialized collections scattered thruout America

has been published and is sure to be useful
in research work, not only to students inter-
ested in special subjects but to the librarians
themselves. This list is not complete but it is
hoped that the usefulness of this edition will
warrant the publication lin due time of another
and more complete edition.

An important collection of first editions of
nineteenth century English authors collected by
Edward K. Butler of Jamaica Plain, Mass.,
will be sold at the American Art Galleries
April 10. A conspicuous feature of this col-
lection is the unusually large number of books
that are inscribed or have some portion or com-
plete part of the original manuscript of the
text represented in the printed version, Robert
and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Fitzgerald,
Dante !G. Rossetti, Swinburne and Tennyson
are represented by some very rare lots.

The Bookman's Journal and Print Collector
continues to bring within its monthly numbers
a great deal of information that book and print
lovers cannot afford to miss. Among the spe-
cial articles in the March issue are "Bookmen
on Book Bbrrowers," by William Jaggard;
"Early English Service Books," by Herbert
Garland; "Well-edited English Authors," by
Richard Curie; "Sir Frank Short, R.A., P.R.E..
Master Engraver," by Malcolm C. Salamon.
The magazine this month has many handsome
illustrations, and the departments, as usual, are
packed with interesting note and comment.

Henry F. De Puy has recently issued in a
privately printed edition "Some Letters of
Andrew Jackson," including an address before
the American Antiquarian Society together with
nine letters, the correspondence of Andrew
Jackson and Samuel Swartout in the presiden-
tial campaign of 1824. The originals of
these letters, seven by Jackson and two by
Swartout, are in Mr. De Puy's possession. Mr.
De Puy makes the point that the letters show a
vigor and clearness of expression and an accur-
acy and precision in spelling and grammar that
was not accredited to Jackson at this period.

Otis J. Hammond, superintendent of the New
Hampshire Historical Society, reports the dis-
covery of a copy of "Political Debates of Hon.
Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Doug-
las," the first edition of the speeches in the
famous Senatorial campaign of 1858 in Illinois,
with a letter from John G. Nicolay written at
Springfield, 111., August 14, i860, transmitting
the hook to W. F. Goodwin, then secretary of

the society. The voiume also contains on a fly
leaf the following inscription : "Presented to
the New Hampshire Historical Society, A. Lin-
coln." So far as known this is the only pres-
entation copy given to any historical society.

The sporting library oi a well-known collec-
tor, one of the finest that has been offered for
sale for a long tiine, will be sold at the Ander-
son Galleriies April 3 and! 4. The collection in-
cludes the very rare American Turf Register,
1829-44; Annals of Sporting and Fancy 'Gazette,
13 vols., 1822-28; and a complete set of the
Sporting Magazine, 156 vols., 1793-1870; the
rarest works illustrated in color by Henry
Aiken, George Cruikshank and Thomas Rowl-
andson and other illustrators of the period to-
gether with original drawings by Aiken, Cruik-
shank and Rowlandson of unusual importance.
This is a collector's sale, as most of the lots
are rare, frequently unique and generally in
the choicest possible condition.

The historical library of the late James Phin-
ney Baxter, mayor of Portland, Me., and for
many years president of the Maine Historical
Society, was sold at the Anderson Galleries
March 20, 21 and 22, The library, mainly re-
lating to the history of New England, was
that of a student and book lover rather than
that of the ultra collector who thinks chiefly
of rarity. The class which should have been
most alive to this opportunity apparently ig-
nored iit. Goodspeed's Book Shop of Boston
and the Cadmus Book Shop of this city, spe-
cialists in just the class of books off'ered in
this sale, were the heaviest buyers. A few of
the rarer lots and the prices which they
brought were the following: Purchas's "Hak-
luytus Posthumous," etc., 5 vols., folio, levant
by Pratt, London. 1625-26; first edition of the
first four volumes and fourth edition of the
last, $75; Waymouth's "The Jewell of Artes,"
320 leaves in manuscript, folio, bound in Moroc-
co with the arms of James I on sides, a copy
of the manuscript in the King's Library w-rit-
ten between the voyages of 1602 and 1625,
$62.50; Roger William's "A Key into the Lan-
guage of America/' etc., small 8vo, levant.
London, 1643, one of the rarest and earliest
books relating to the Indians of New England,
$300 ; and Daniel Welbster's "An Oration." pro-
nounced at Hanover, New Hampshire, July 4,
1800, being the 24th Anniversary of American
Independence, 8vo, sewn, uncut, Hanover 1900,
the great orator's first printed oration, $80.

*i.iiO

A powerful and graphic tale of a Kentucky girl and her people, and of her romance with

ELINOR GLYN'S

MAN AND MAID

This is Mrs. Glyn's most satisfying story. It pleases the mind, by its wit and rich human
wisdom and the masterly style with w*hich the author handles her subject. Here is a
Glyn novel that will not only delight her host of friends who have been waiting for just
such a tale from her pen, but also all readers who appreciate fine literature. The
"grand moments" of life which come to the hero and heroine, keep one tense and
expectant, on edge as it were for the final scene — one of the most beautiful in contemporary
fict'on.

The Memoirs of the
Crown Prince of Germany

Written entirely by his own hand
during his exile in Holland

This is a volume of supreme importance. It
is by far the most significant and authoritative
document to come from any German source since
the war. In the nature of its subject matter it
may mildly be described as a surprising revela-
tion.

The Crown Prince describes his home and
school life, his military training, his experiences
at court, and his visits to foreign royalties, among
them Queen Victoria, the Czar, Abdul Hamid of
Turkey, Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, and
King Edward of England.

Especial attention is given to his visits to Eng-
land, and England's aims and political leaders are
characterized with much ability. The author has
much to say of British, French, and German
diplomats in relation to events leading up to the
war.

A Suggestion of

the Book's

Contents

Boyhood

Life at court

His home life

His estimate of his father's

character.
What he thinks of Prussian

standards.
What Lord Grey said when

he bantering-ly suggested

to him that England and

Germany divide the world.
His high admiration for

Edward Vn.
His attitude toward the

Zabern affair.
His opinion of Hindenburg

and Ludendorf.
H i s explanation of the

Marne defeat.
The reasons for the Verdun

failure.
Why he wanted to make

peace after the Marne.
His estimate of Bismarck.

Not the least surprising of the book's revelations is the new light
it sheds on the Crown Prince's character. The volume is written
with an evident sincerity. It includes a eulogy of the Crown
Prince's wife and family and contradicts reports of domestic
troubles.

"Summer
Reading''

What it is.
Why it is good
for your business.

A 100-page magazine
booklist, full of sug-
gestions as to what
new Ibooks to "take
along."

Books are entered
under many classifi-
cations to meet the
interests of every
prospective buyer.
There is a full de-
scriptive annotation
under all important
new titles. There
are many illustra-

of "sales punch" that
will inspire book
buying.

Printed on special
light weight white
paper, with an unus-
ual cover design of
the out-of-doors. Im-
printed on front cov-
er, it becomes the
individual catalog of
the bookseller.
Supplied with envel-
ope order form and
return envelotpe.

Going After Summer Sales

IT is usually assumed in the book-trade that the one bright spot in June, July and
August is the demand for light reading, and the bookseller often plans to take
what may come his way in this field and expect .little other business. While this
may have been the characteristic attitude in retailing a few years ago, it is not
in accordance with present theories of the public's needs, and only the very
lethargic or over-weary merchants are willing to take the summer trade as it comes.
The bookstore has merchandise that people will get great pleasure and profit
from in the summer, which will add immensely to the value of every holiday or
week-end, and it is a pleasant duty, as well as a merchandising necessity; to bring
this energetically to the read-
er's attention, and not only to
the adult reader but to chil-
dren of every age.

People connect books with
their summer plans only when
it is brought home to them by
display advertising ; by the time-
ly sending out of catalogs, espe-
cially just as people leave town ;
by the excellence and care of
window displays and by the
neatness and readiness of the
store inside.

It is somewhat more difficult
as warm weather comes along
to make careful plans, to keep
things active, and to arrange
new displays, but this is the
sign of the modern merchant,
and the only way to eliminate
the low spots in the year's
activities.

Consider —

"SUMMER READING"

Much Discussed New Novels

THE BEAUTIFUL AND
DAMNED

By F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

Critics agree that this
novel by the author of
"This Side of Paradise"
marks a big forward
step in Fitzgerald's lit-
erary career and shows
his growing power. Hen-
ry Seidel Canby, editor
of the Literary Review
of the New York Eve-
ning Post, declares that
"no finer study of the
relations between boy husband and girl
wife has been given us in American fic-
tion." Harry Hansen says in the Chicago
Daily News that it shows Mr. Fitzgerald
"well on his way to become one of the
major novelists of our own time."

THE ROAD TO THE WORLD

SAINT TERESA

By HENRY SYDNOR HARRISON

A new novel by the
author of "Queed."
Teresa de Silva,
nicknamed the
Saint, and known
to newspaper read-
ers as "the woman
who hates love," is
the extraordinary
daughter of a New
York millionaire.
In a long review
under the heading "A Woman of the
Modern Hour," the Boston Transcript
says, "The person would be rare indeed
who could start to read 'Saint Teresa* and
put the book down without finishing."
And "America" spoke of it as "Certainly
the most powerful novel of the present
season. In this book Mr. Harrison is
at his best."

DANCERS IN THE DARK

By DOROTHY SPEARE

Readers who liked
"Main Street,"
"Moon Calf" and
similar novels will
like "The Road to
the World" for its
plot, characterization
and general idea.
And that impor-
tant group of alert,
sophisticated people
in every community
which corresponds to the first night audi-
ence at a New York theatre will seize
upon "The Road to the World" as the
real thing — an authentic addition to
American literature. Its style is almost
a miracle in modern letters.

A MAN OF PURPOSE

By DONALD RICHBERG

If you had suddenly
fallen from great
heights in your pro-
fession to defeat and
a prison cell — what
would you do? That
is the question "A
Man of Purpose"
asked himself ; and
he answered it by
telling his life story.
It is an amazing
story— amazing in its soul revealment, its
philosophy, its strength, and its tender-
ness. Three women exercise an influence
over him— and he tells it all, concealing
nothing. Back of the romance is the
chicanery of big business, and the clash
of capital and labor. A timely and
gripping novel.

contemporary fiction,

BIG PETER

By ARCHIBALD MARSHALL

Big Peter was "big"
in every way. Big of
frame, big-hearted—
and he had some big
thoughts as to what
he would do when he
made his big gold
strike in Australia.
And, curiously enough,
the day he does make
it, he discovers that he
is the rightful heir to
a title and large estates in England.
Then when he goes to England to estab-
lish his claim, gold mines and titles are
forgotten when he meets the girl in the
picture — a picture that had lightened his
days and nights in the Australian bush.
A novel you won't want to miss.

Chivalry and Romance

THE PURPLE PEARL

By ANTHONY PRYDE

It was a desperate feud that had its
beginning three generations back which
started four young people to looking for
the Purple Pearl— and incidentally set
them on the road to romance. All
descendants of different branches of an
old noble family, they find themselves at
cross purposes when they attempt to
solve the secret of the mysterious, age-
old cr3rptogram. A novel which might
well be termed a "thriller," with its sus-
tained suspense, excitement and mys-
tery—were it not for the subtle genius of
Anthony Pryde who dignifies everything
he writes by his masterly style and
characterization.

THE BRACEGIRDLE

The popular demand

the refreshing ro-
mance of Anne Brace-
girdle, a famous ac-
tress of the seven-
teenth century. Her
brilliant wit and radiant beauty brought
her adventure, intrigue, passion and one
man's undying devotion. Interwoven
with action that stirs the blood is the
heart appealing tenderness of their great
love.

Klaggel King is a

who can prevent any

falls in love with his
daughter, and makes
a splendid fight
against King's attempt
to absorb the younger
man's organized company though all of
the odds are in King's favor, and his
competitor is unwilling even to ask the
aid of the woman he loves. An extra-

PEEWEE

By WILLIAM MacHARG

The story of a lost
identity. The set-
ting : C h i c a g o's
"Gold Coast" and
its slums. A grip-
ping story with the
thrill of mystery and
the human touch.
The New York Her-
ald says : "The story
has a genuinely mov-
ing situation, un-
usual in conception and truly poignant
in its appeal." Peewee's devotion to the
beautiful lady who crosses his path "is
neither sexual nor filial, but an inarticu-
late worship rarely understood and still
more rarely adequately portrayed."

Women Who Fascinate

LUCRETIA LOMBARD

By KATHLEEN NQRRIS

Whenever Mrs. Norris writes a book
she takes some moving, heart-clutching
situation as her theme, and develops it
through the medium of neighborly and
attractive people, people such as live in
the next house and next street from yours,
or right in your own street and your own
house.

She has the reporter's skill of quick and
accurate portraiture, whether of person or
place, sees vividly what she looks at and
catches what she sees in skillful, some-
times eloquent words. There is a strong
sincerity and conviction in what she does,
an honesty of purpose that gives her
novels a greater value than the mere story
quality of entertainment. — New York
Herald.

MAN AND MAID

By ELINOR GLYN

the Author

"Three
Weeks"

This is Mrs. Glyn's
most satisfying story.
It pleases the mind
by its wit and rich
human wisdom. Sir
Nicholas Thormonde,
his friends "the fluf-
fies" and Alathea,
"The Girl" form a new
and amusing and
sometimes tragic tri-
angle in the "war of the
sexes" which is portrayed so vividly in this
fine romance. The "grand moments" of
life which come to the hero and heroine
keep one tense and expectant for the final
scene,— one of the most beautiful in con-
temporary fiction. The characters are
compellingly real. They pulsate with life.

" The Rustle of Silk' is the best novel of

THE WRONG MR. RIGHT

By BERTA RUCK

She could scarcely be
classed as a regular
working girl, because
she had an income
sufficient for her
needs. She was inde-
pendent but rather
bored, so she went to
work for an extremely
capable and impressive
looking young man.
Then, to disguise her
generosity to her fellow-workers, she in-
vents a gentleman friend who becomes
distressingly real. After which she is
plunged into a series of dramatic, ro-
mantic and amusing complications. A
book that is as delightful as it is sur-

MERTON OF THE MOVIES

By HARRY LEON WILSON

Merton had expected a certain amount
of trouble when he left Amos Gashwiler's
"Emporium" in Simsbury, Illinois to go
out to Hollywood and make himself
famous as Clifford Armytage but he had
no idea that the business of living (and
making a living) could be so hard, or that
the cup of success when finally he held
it brimming to his lips could be so bitter.
To Merton this story is tragedy, the deep
poignant compelling tragedy of comedy,
to the reader it is roaring fun all the way
through from Simsbury to Hollywood —
and after.

"The Great Prince
Shan," a fascinating
story ot world poli-

present import, an in-

weaving together the elements of love
and political intrigue is too well known to

he writes a novel
of the flapper of

of

"Jean

"M. Rolland," says the
NATION, "has writ-
ten an idyll, an idyll
of love that is *born
under the wing of
death.'" It offers a
strong contrast to his
war novel, "Cleram-

delicate and charming,
a true French love
story. The war is
used only as a background. "What I'd

keynote of what is surely one of M.

The central charac-

Pierre alone would
make a book, so kindly, so full of human
charm is he. The story of how enchant-

the young American, David Ware, is as

To those who have long found de-

based upon the chance discovery, in
France, of a bundle of manuscript letters
dating from 1758, when Boswell was
eighteen years of age, to his death thirty-
seven years later. These letters have been
ably edited by Professor Tinker, of Yale
University, who has for years made a

Broadcasting Ideas

SOMETHING over four hundred years
after the printing press gave its sudden
and spectacular increase of the spread of
the written word, an increase in the radius of
the spoken word has taken place with even
more dramatic rapidity. It seems hardly
possible that it is only three months since the
general broadcasting of music and news by
radio telephone began, and now tens of thous-
ands of people "listen in." Newspapers give
regular departments to the program, and not a
day goes by but some new and unusual feature
is brought forward. One New York newspaper
not only has a daily department given to radio,
but has a Saturday tabloid supplement as large
as the book supplements of other papers and
fully as well supported by advertising.

So spectacular has been progress that every-
one is inclined to check up his own business and
habits of life to see how it may in the future
aflFect him. Probably the business that has
most to think about is the phonograph
business, which will feel the coming of
the radio very keenly. In so far as the home
phonograph is the means of casual diversion
and not a personally selected program, the radio
may take its place, the instruments costing
less with no additional expense for records.
It may also happen that while the invention is
new many families will stay home to hear music
rather than to go to the theater to see moving
pictures. Ministers may wonder whether the
Sunday afternoon service which people can hear
so easily in their homes may not justify some
people in feeling that they do not need the
added advantage of group worship which the
church building gives.

One thing seems certain : that it can do more
to eliminate isolation and loneliness in the
world than any invention that the cen-
tury has brought. No person can be so shut

in that he cannot feel that the outside
world is right at hand. No person can
be so isloated on distant farm or out-of-the-
way community that he cannot receive com-
munications as easily as in city apartments.
As the machinery is perfected and made port-
able, the possibilities of tying together all
people at all times seems unlimited. It seems,
also, to have the characteristic that many recent
inventions have had of being one that will bring
the family unit together rather than separate it.
Automobile, phonograph, movie, radio are all
things the family will enjoy together. Any
movement of this kind is for the good of
unanimity, and any movement that brings the
family together in the evening is to the ad-
vantage and not disadvantage of the writers
and distributors of books. Home libraries will
thrive when the home is most constantly used
by the whole family.

The book-trade will have an active part in
spreading facts about the radio, the literature
on which is already increasing in great strides,
and in doing so will play its part, as usual, in
putting information at the disposal of all.
Bookselling has never had in recent years the
spectacular increase as an industry that has
fallen, for instance, to the phonograph, but in
season and out it finds increased importance
and few setbacks. There has been no in-
vention permanently to displace the use of
print as a means of communication from the
past and a repository for the wisdom of the
present.

Books andjWedding Anniversaries

THAT books are not only appropriate for
weddings but also for wedding anni-
versaries is indicated by the names
customarily given to the succeeding years.
According to these lists the second wedding
anniversary as the Paper Wedding, the third
anniversary is the Leather Wedding, the
fourth anniversary is the Booik Wedding, etc.
On the second, third and fourth celebrations
the iposiition of the .bookseller is very strong.
His wares are appropriate to the Paiper Wed-
ding; a great many of the custom bound books
and flexible leather 'booksi are the most suitable
of all gifts for the Leather Wedding; and the
fourth anniversary in itself leads directly tc
the bookstore. This list is one that the book-
store can well afford to emphasize, especially
as wedding aimiversaries come in increasing
numbers during May and June.

Trade Associations Again

THE emphasis of Secretary Hoover on the
importance of trade associations is bear-
ing accumulated fruit, and the announce-
ment is now made that the Chamber of Com-
merce of the United States has appointed a
special committee to study and report on the
subject of trade associations. The committee
will direct its inquiry with a view to determin-
ing in what manner such associations can
render the greatest service to business and
to the public. On April 12th, Secretary Hoover
holds a meeting in Washington on the same
topic, and the National Association of Book
Publishers is to be represented by Frederic G.
Melcher. The New York Evening Post has
run an important and illuminating series of
articles by leading business men during the
past two weeks that has strongly emphasized
the constructive value of what associations are
doing.

Keeping Prices Down

IN comments on the present bill before
Congress which is intended to bring about
"price standardization," there have been
some indications that the public would look
lujpon this as an effort for keepUng, prices up
in a period when everyt^ody wants as much
of a bargain as possible. The economic truth
of the situation should be put forth as often
as possible,; and that is that merchandise with
standardized prices broadly maintained is not
high priced merchandise and that experience
shows that the margin between production cost
and consumer price is less than in unidenti-
fiable products.

It wnll be remennbered that three or four
years ago there was appointed in London a
committee to look into this question, an in-
vestigation brought about by the feeling that
a maintained price was a high price. The
opposite report was brought in. It was found
that the margin taken as a whole was less and
that when producers set the retail prices they
wanted them as low as possible so as to attract
trade while at the same time showing a profit
that would command the interested co-operation
of the retailer. A chaotic state in boo»k dis-
tribution would soon demonstrate how this
would work. What is most important in keep-
ing book costs down is large editions caused
by wide distribution. If price cutting should
set in, as it did twenty years ago, many dealers
would go out of the book business, traveling

costs, advertisiing costs, all distribution costs
would increase per copy because there are
fewer copies among which to divide the expense
and there must be a consequent increase in sell-
ing pnice. All this was very clearly pointed
out in the letter which Charles E. Butler for
the Booksellers' Board of Trade wrote to the
Printers' Ink in a recent dE'scussion on the sub-
ject. The book-trade has best hope of having
popular prices, both lin current books and old
classics, when the field of distribution is as
broad as possible. There is no one in the
trade but understands that a broad distnibution
is only to be maintained by standardlized prices.

Convention Rebate Certificate

IT is important for every one going to the
convention at Washington to understand
about the rebate on the railroad fare which it is
hoped may be arranged. If 350 railroad reser-
vations are made, every one gets a rebate of
one half the price of the return trip if everyone
whof buys a ticket to Washington asks for the
certificate issued by the railroad for the pur-
pose, and presents this certificate when he reg-
isters. The man living near Washington, in
Philadelphia or in Baltimore should not neglect
to do this as diligently as the man coming
fromj Oregon, California or Texas. He saves
something on his own ticket, and he also helps
swell the number of certificates to the desired
350 necessary to secure the rebate for every-
body. Last year, the number of certificates
fell just short of the desired 350. So every
one is urged to co-operate this year.

The Convention Program Committee announ-
ces that Hon. W. Clyde Kelly, father of the
Stevens-Kelly Bill now pending in Congress,
which means so much to Price Standardization,
is to speak at the Convention.

Booksellers are iproud to feel that they are
going to finance this convention themselves, by
paying a registration fee of $10.00 a person,
with due appreciation of the generosity of the
publishers who have contributed to the support
of the convention in the past.

How Maps and Atlases are Made

By Alfred Sidney Johnson, Ph.D.

Map Department, Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, 111.

NOTHING 'better than a map was ever
invented to enable one to keep a finger
on the pulse of the world. By picturing
forms and forces beyond one's immediate hori-
zon, a map brings us to the very wings of the
stage of which human history is being enacted
before our eyes. Alongside of natural patriotic
pride in our own home land, they inspire liber-
ality toward others, developing a prudent
caution in our attitude toward international
affairs, and serving as an efficient corrective
to narrow provincialism and jingoism. Maps
evoke and develop those impulses that con-
stitute the true geographical spirit.

Raw Materials of Map-making

Never were good maps needed more than
now. The world ig( shaking itself down once
more to a stable basis and has begun to evolve
something like order out of the chaotic scramble
of the recent upheaval. Long- before that great
catastrophe, however, the narrow limits of our
self-sufficiency had begun to fade from sight
in the dawn of a broader view. And now we
live in a day of expanding horizons, when the
close intertwining of commercial and political
relations the world over has created a com-
munity of interest that transcends all local
limitations, emlbraces all lands, and makes step-
ping-stones of the islands of the -sea.

Just as the placid waters of a small lake tell
nothing of the titanic forces that created its
channels of supply, so an ordinary atlas map,
simple and clear in outline and selected detail,
gives no indication of the great number of
hands whose combined efforts made its pro-
duction possible.

Maps are based fundamentally on surveys
made with the utmost delicacy of detail by
federal government or other official parties (the
U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey ; U. S. Geo-
logical Survey ; Railroads ; Highway Commis-
sions; State, County, and City Engineers, etc.),
supplemented with a multiplicity of data
gathered by other systematically organized
maiohineries of information (Census Bureaus,
Commercial Agencies, Chambers of Commerce,
Boards of Trade, etc.). Thus the so-called
"raw material" from which ordinary published
maps are burilt up emlbraces many products that
are themselves the finished output of the highest
technical skill. Even the smallest inset map
that one may find on an atlas page, put there
to clarify or embellish some statement in the
text, represents in its ultimate origin a be-

wildering mass of typographic sheets, field
notes, reports and bulletins, larger-scale charts
and labored reductions, etc.

An exhaustive description of the entire art
of mapHmaking is of course impossible within
the space available here, hut the reader may
have a new attJitude of appreciation toward
map-making, if we confine ourselves to a brief
outline of some of the fundamentals. We shaill
only give a hurried glance at some of the pre-
liminary work that has to be done before one
can look on the flat colored surface and get a
true picture of the region mapped, with all its
variations of boundary, shore-line, and surface
contour.

Fundamentals of Map Surveying

There is a saying current among the Indians
of Labrador, that, in order to know all there
is to be known about a thing, you must know
the front and the back, the right, and the left,
the up-above and the dozvn-below of the thing.
This primitive definition of the requirements of
wisdom really sums up in a nutshell, the funda-
mentals of the art of modern topography. For,
translated into the technical terms of modem
surveying, the tribal conception of wisdom con-
sists in having that horizontal and vertical con-
trol for starting-points on which all accurate
surveys are dependent. The space in which we
live and move — ^all abstract fictions of mathe-
matical fairyland to the contrary — is one having
only the three dimensions of length, breadth,
and thickness; and the position of any point
becomes a matter for permanent record the
moment we can determine its precise bearings
in relation to certain points, lines, or planes of
longitude, latitude, and altitude which are ac-
cepted as fixed in position.

Absolute fixity of position, however, is a
fiction of abstraction, not an objective reality.
There are no absolutely fixed, immovable ob-
jects or points of position anywhere in nature,
any more than there are real straight lines or
really parallel rays of light. Inasmuch, how-
ever, as the stars in the celestial sphere over-
head, even thru long periods of time, show
changes in relative position so small as to be
negligilble, we regard these heavenly bodies as
practically "fixed" points, and accept them as
our indicators. It is on observation of the
stars — especially of the North Star, Polaris —
that the determination of the precise location of
geographical points on the earth's surface is
fundamentally based.

A topographic map ds a relief map enabling
one to picture truly to his mind's eye the essen-
tial features of a region. It not only shows the
shapes and elevations of land and water fea-
tures by contour lines, the dominant ridges,
slopes, and depressions, and graphically depicts
other natural characterti sties, tout also indicates
such artificial features as raiilroads, highways,
and buildings, in their true relation to one an-
other and to the land and water configuration.
Such a map is possible only thru first estab-
lishing fixed datum points of horizontal and
vertical control from which more detailed sur-
veys can be started. The work of accurately
locating and permanently marking these datum
podnts devolves upon the so-called "trianguila-
tion'' parties in the field. Triangulation is thus
the basic survey of all map-making.

Triangulation

A starting-point is first selected, prefer-
ably on a level stretch of land. Its exact
latitude (distance north or south of the
equator) and longitude (distance east or
west of a reference meridian) must be deter-
mined by very accurate astronomical observa-
tions with zenith telescope and transit. Next,
the direction of true north from the starting-
point must be accurately determined. This is
usually done by observations of Polaris, allow-
ance being made for its variation in position, as
it swings around the true pole. From the true
north, the necessary allowances to be made for
deviations of the magnetic needle can be deter-
mined.

The next operation is to measure very accu-
rately the length of a base-line laid off from
the starting-point. For this purpose, there is
now used a standardized metal tape made of
invar, a nickel-steel alloy whose variations in
length with changes of temperature are so slight
as to bo negligrible. The direction of the base-
line is then determined by accurately measur-
ing the angle which the line makes with the
true north.

The base-line having been measured, and its
ends marked by signals, a third point is now
selected as the apex of the first great triangle
in the network of connected lines that will later
be laid out over the face of the country. This
apex point may be a church spire, a tall tree, a
specially built signal or observation structure, a
mountain peak, or other prominent feature many
miles away. The interior angles of the tri-
angle must be measured so accurately that their
sum will vary only infinitesimally, if at all,
from the i8o degrees, or 2 right angles, neces-
sary to satisfy geometric conditions. One side
of the triangle (the base-line) and the interior
ajigles being now known, it is a simple opera-
tion in trigonometry to figure the length of the

other two slides. Then, using the sides of the
first great triangle as bases for new triangles,
and the sides of these as bases for still others,
all of whose angles and lengths of sides are
precisely determined, the latitude and longitude
of a:ll the meeting-points are readily computed.
In this way, there is spread out, as it were, a
great controlling net of triangular meshes cover-
ing the entire region to 'be mapped.

Very long lines can be used only in regions
of high mountains, where natural elevations off-
set the earth's curvature; and, in such cases,
this curvature has to be allowed for in compu-
tation. The line in California between Mounts
St. Helena and Shasta, over 190 miles, is the
longest on record. From 25 to 40 miles is now
considered economical ifor primary or precise
work; but, in many instances, the obstacles to
visibility — as in heavily wooded flat country or
where hills of almost uniform height lie close
together — compel the use of much shorter lines,
and may even necessitate construction of tow-
ers 60 to 125 feet or more in height for the
observing and signaling instruments.

Secondary and, in turn, even tertiary tri-
angles imay be laid off from those of the pri-
mary triangulation, with shorter sides and less
insistence on perfect accuracy; and from the
datum points thus located, the whole area cov-
ered by the triangulation may be broken up
with a network of cross-lines, all self-<checking
when laid on paper — which is the foundation
work for the ordinary local land survey.

Filling in the Details

Theoretically, the method of triangulation
could be followed thruout. Under certain con-
ditions, however — as, for example, where the
surface, tho flat, is covered with dense under-
growth or tall trees — the necessary clear-
ing of lines and erecting of high signals
would make the expense and the delay
prohibitive. Here the methods known as
precise traverse and leveling are used in lo-
cating stations, which are usually less than
five miles apart. In this work the established
railway lines (if any), highways, or other
cleared stretches are followed quite closely.
The instruments used are the invar tape or
the chain, the theodolite, and the leveling rod
on which slights are taken so as to allow for
inclinations in figuring distances. From start-
ing-point, the party proceeds on foot by meas-
ured straight-line stages of different lengths
and directions, taking "bearings" from the
angles the station lines make w»ith the meri-
dian. The process, in a word, consists in
walking from point to point in straight lines,
always carefully recording distance and direc-
tion. From the field-work notes, the actual
plotting of the map is done in the office.

Great Books are Life Teachers

By Frederic G. Melcher

WE are seeing the spoken word receive
the most dramatic increase in its power
since man developed a language. Long
after the printed page first made it possible to
broadcast ideas to all who would or who could
read, it has come about that the spoken word
can, by a record or by
antennae, be sent to
all who care to listen.

This is a long step
from face to face
cjonversation or from
platform to audience
speech yet we still
need as complement
and background to
speech, the magic of
the printed word
which will talk down
over a thousand years
or will serve as a
reservoir for today's
wisdom and observa-
tion. I am to apeak today on books, and on the
increased use they are now finding. It is most
appropriate to speak on that subject this week,
because in this country and irij Canada, those
wiho are most interested in books and the ex-
tension of their use and power are observing
a Religious Book Week, April 2nd to 8th.

I am holding in my hand as I speak a book
that is nearly 5000 years old. It is a baked
tablet brought by an explorer from the mounds
that mark the former site of Erech, the an-
cestral home of Abraham from whence his
tribe treked west and began a national story
which is the principal theme of the most widely
used hook ever printed. The writing on the
tablet is in little wedge shaped marks whose
direct descendants are the 26 symbols that
make our printed words. Thus our gratitude
for religious inspiration and for the power to
record and pass on that inspiration goes back
to the very same valleys of the Eastern Medi-
terannean.

The explorer who gave me the tablet said
that by far the largest number of the records
found in the early villages were of religious
character and while to-day the varieties of the
fields covered by books is increasing with every
year, the best seller from the past is still the
Bible, and, among each year's record of new
books, religion usually stands next to fiction in
number of titles.

But why should any group of people be
especially concerning themselves about the

THIS address was delivered on the
opening day of Religious Book Week,
Sunday, April 2, from the Westinghouse
Radio Station ati Newark. This broad-
casting station has an ordinary radius
of delivery of about 1000 miles but has
Ibeen picked up at a distance of 3000.
There is no accurate estimate possible
of the number bf receiving sets picking
up these radio programs. This is probably
the 'first use of this epochal invention in
the (interests of general book, promotion.

reading of religious books when the church
has the spoken word as its chief vehicle of
communication? Because, the spoken word
must always need the supplementary power of
the printed word if it is to have its full force,
just as it has always needed it in the past. The
Sermon on the Mount
was spoken to hun-
dreds, and has been
heard by hundreds of
millions. St. Francis
spoke to the birds and
is heard by generation
after generation.
Phillips Brooks spoke
to a churchful of
people, and his mes-
sage went out to two
nations. No speaker
has ever addressed an
audience with such a
complete feeling of ef-
fectiveness that he has
not wished that every person in front of him
might take further time to spend on the books
that had furnished the background work of his
inspiration. Sometimes the very eloquence of
an address leaves the hearer suspicious that
his reason has been overswayed by a personali-
ty, but, in quiet resurvey of the theme, in com-
pany with the rightly written book, the truths
sink home permanently.

"When I consider," said James Freeman
Clarke, "what some books have done for the
world, and what they are doing, how they keep
up our hope; awaken new courage and faith;
soothe pain; give an ideal life to those whose
homes are cold and hard ; bind together distant
ages and foreign lands; create new worlds of
beauty, bring down truths from heaven, — I
give eternal blessings for this gift, and pray
that we may all use it aright and abuse it
never."

Is there any definition of "religious book" by
which one can satisfactorily indicate the range
of reading emphasized by this program? The
terms given in the endowment of a well-knowni
series of religious lectures stated that, "their
scope shall be as wide as the highest interests
of humanity," and the only limitation is that
one end shall be kept in view, "the perfection^
of the spiritual man." Some such broad in-
terpretation is given by those who ask peo-
ple to turn with renewed attention to the book.
As Dr. Fosdick has written for this week:
"Something very significant has, happened to

1036

The Publishers' Weekly

a man when he realizes that in books the
greatest souls of the world will come to call
on him as tho there were no one else on earth
whom they had to call upon,"

Or, to quote Dr. Maurice Harris :

"We see the vital importance of religious
leaders directing the reading of the age into
the right channels. Modern religious literature
must take into account the science and philoso-
phy of today if it is to be read by the genera-
tion growing up in our homes and passing thru
our colleges."

Is it enough that the distribution of printed
inspiration and truth shall be left to chance
and to unurged demand? Does it not seem
natural that those who most vividly see the
importance of its effect should join one another
in co-operative emphasis on the religious book —
the pulpit, the religious press, public speakers,
the librarians, writers and publishers and those
ibooksellers who realize, as Christopher Morley
has said, that the man who buys a book buys
not just twelve ounces of paper, ink and glue
but may be buying a whole new life?"

It is very frequently said, with too careless
analysiis, that the tendency of modern life
is to separate andj break up the family unit.
And yet those new elements that have come
into American life in this century have all
seemed to be unifiers of the family. Our
automobiles are usually of family size and a
family possession; the movies keep the family
as a unit in their pleasures much more than
club or theater; the phonograph ties together
the family interests more than public concerts ;
and this marvellous radiophone is adapted for
the home slitting room rather than the public
hall. Is not the family being brought closer
together rather than being separated and will
not the more closely knit family find itself
turning naturally to the enrichment of its spir-
itual life? As the home reading lamp comes to
its own, so will the tendency toward a wider cul-
ture and deeper religious consciousness appear.
Not outside admonition and pleading, but
natural developments and inclinations will bring
the family to wider love and use of books.
This tendency as being increased by present cir-
cumstances. The adult reader, stirred by the
war and the world's turmoil, is trying to find
his way to some clearer view of llife. As
Raymond Calkins writes to the Religious
Book Week Committee:

"The hunger for such reading among the
rank and file of people is very considerable.
If the right means of calling really helpful
books to their attention could be found and
utilized, such reading would become general."

Such means will be found if the pulpit, the
press, the library and shop give the enlight-
ened guidance that the reader asks for . As
Emily Dickinson phrases it :

"He ate and drank the precious words.

His spirit grew robust ;

He knew no more that he was poor,

Nor that his frame was dust.

He danced along the dingy days,

And this bequest of wings

Was but a Ixtok. What liberty

A loosened spirit brings."
What volumes will be included in this field
we call religious books? In the terms of the
Harvard lectures before referred to, shall they
not be as wide as the highest interests of
humanity, "fiction, poetry, art, natural science
political economy, sociology, ethics, theology,
all sacred writing and the more direct inter-
ests of the religious life?"

"A relig-ious book," writes Harold B. Hunt-
ing, formerly manager of the Religious Book
Department of the International Y. M. C. A.,
"is one which helps us to get the really best
out of any of the concrete interests of life.
In a way, all good books might be called re-
ligious. Certainly all truly good literature is
infused with the religious spirit. But there are
certan books which more explicitly and directly
undertake to point the way to the highest goals
of life. These are the books that belong in
the religious section of the bookstore."

"On the other hand," Mr. Hunting goes on
to say, "there are certain books loosely classed
as religious that would be ruled out by the
definition we are following: the commentaries,
sermon outlines, technical books on theology,
these are the professional tools of the clergy
and are indirectly rather than directly religious.
They do not appeal to the man on the street ;
neither do books of sectarian propaganda.
He is attracted, however, by books which really
help him to get the most out of life."

Among such books might be included such
varying types as "The Imitation of Christ"
by Thomas a Kempis, "Christianizing the So-
cial Order" by Walter Rauchenbusch, "A Way
of Life" by Dr. William Osier, "What Men
Live By" by Dr. Richard C. Cabot, "The
Meditations of Marcus Aurelius," The Auto-
biography of Dr. Grenfell, Boutet de Monvel's
"Joan of Arc," "The Aims of Labor" by Ar-
thur Henderson.

A minister in a Missouri church writes :
"There is an obvious hiatus between the
thinking of the modern preacher and that of
the average layman. It is due largely to a
difference in opportunity for reading. But
there is an astonishing intellectual hunger
among men and women today and to help meet
this need we have established a Loan Library
in the vestibule of our church. The books are
selected with a view of presenting the best
current wniting on every important side of life.
All points of view that are actually constructive
are represented. Some of the titles on this

April 8, 1922

1037

church bookshelf are, "The Education of Henry
Adams," "The Jesus of History" by T. R.
Glover, "The Outline of History" by H. G.
Wells, "The Second Book of Modern Verse"
edited by Jessie Rittenhouse, and Robinson's
"Life of Paul."

Will the home table find its circle of readers
happy with such books. Publishing . records
show how wide is the demand. Those books
which have at heart "the highest interests of
humanity" have a sale assured and continued.
The demand for such devotional books as that
of the late Cardinal Gibbons, for Henry Drum-
mond's "The Greatest Thing in the World,"
Knight's "The Song of the Syrian Guest,"
Sheldon's "In His Steps," these have found a
circulation that makes pale and meagre the
selling records of any hest seller of fiction.

The Jewish people were given, in the Arabic
tongue, the striking name of Am el Kitab, the
people of the Book, or, as Rabbi Wise has
pointed out, it might be more accurate to say
"The people of a great literature," a literature
high and noble that in turn made and remade
them. While our English language has not for
common use a literature from so great a span
of years as is contained in the covers of the
Bible, it has at its command the literatures of
all ages and times and a current product with-
out equal in variety.

But if books are to serve their fullest pur-
pose in enriching our national life, it will be
readily agreed that they must early be brought
not only into the lives of older readers but
also into the lives of each coming generation.
Our schools give the children the knack of
reading, but church, library and home must
see that this ability to read becomes a habit,
a real happiness and inspiration to life. Books
are an influence that will give a knowledge of
past and present and the thought of the future,
which will provide an insight into the lives
of our neighbors at home and abroad, the
people, with whom we share this globe and who
must needs be sympathetically understood,
which will give a conception of the finer things
of life and of whatsover is of good report.
Every church and every great religious denom-
ination is bound to give especial thought to the
religious home life of the children.

"One reason," writes Dr. Henry Van
Dyke, "why some of the younger generation
(and quite as many if not more of the older)
seem to have frivolous, restless and unsatisfied
minds today, is because so many of our modern
homes have no religious books in them : I
mean books which in any form deal with the
inmost and ultimate desires of the human spirit,
and with man's natural longing* for a better
understanding of and a more perfect harmony
with the great source of life and its final good."

Writes President Harding in a letter last

week to the Religious Book Week Committee:

"It is a pleasure to endorse the program of
your organization for the wider circulation of
books of a religious character.

"I strongly feel that every good parent cares
for his child's body, that the child may have
a normal and healthy life and growth; cares
for his child's mind, that the child may take
his proper place in a world of thinking people;
and such a parent must also train his child's
character religiously, that the world may be-
come morally fit. Unless this is done, trained
bodies and trained minds may simply add to
the destructive forces of the world."

What an important place reading aloud
might have in giving children the true ap-
preciation of great books and at the same time
keeping a sense of the family! Why should
not the home reading hour be more generally
revived, if not for every evening, certainly for
Sunday evening? Cannot the whole family
listen while father or mother reads aloud the
imperishable "Story of Joseph" or of "The
Prodigal Son"; of "The Odyssey" or of Roland,
of King Arthur and His Table Round or of
the valor of the Norse heroes; of the high
courage of Columbus or of the visions of
Joan the Maid? Are there not all the elements
of character building in these? Could not
young and old find common thrill and inspira-
tion in the heroisms of a Livingston or of
LaSalle, of St. Paul or Adoniram, Judson; of
Lincoln or of Chinese Gordon? Can there not
be found in each family group someone who
can read aloud efifectively from the world's
great poetry as it may be found in such
anthologies as "The Golden Numbers," "Lyra
Heroica" or "The Golden Treasury?" One
great advantage of reading aloud is that only
the best will stand the test, either for the reader
or for listeners; thus the chaff is winnowed.

If there is to grow up this closer unity of
the family thru the clearer vision of the people
and by the subtle influence of widely adopted
inventions, the book is sure of its important
place. The state is organized to teach its use.
Our cities and towns have accepted the
responsibility of free distribution and the
church and home have a new conception of the
importance of home bookshelves and of the
printed word as a supplement to spoken word.

Just as America's National Park program
has meant our acceptance of the idea that all
great vistas and noble heights should belong
to the people forever, so the broader movement
to make books, the most illuminating books,
the most finely visioned books available to all
the people is a national realization and de-
termination that "their lines shall go out thru
all the earth and their words to the end of the
world."

Berne Comment on Copyright

THE editor of Le Droit d'Auteur, the
official organ of the Berne Convention car-
ries in the February 5th issue the following
comment on the American Copyright situation.

"With a speed quite American, the text of
the proposed law "To Amend the Copyright
Law to Permit the United States to enter
into the International Union for the Protec-
tion of Literary and Artistic Works," of
which we announced the plan in our general
review of 1922 has been finished and put in
the hands of legislative authorities at Wash-
ington.

"It contains eig'ht articles, a translation of
which we will carry in our next number
(March 15th) with appropriate commentary.
To be sure, the text adopted by the sponsors
is not entirely definitive, as the particularly
deliicate and difficult problem of the retroactive
effect of the law and of the convention has
not yet been settled and negotiations have
already begun on the subject.

"Besides this, the opposition of the librarians
against the plan for placing the importing
of European publications under the control of
the American publisher, holder of a shared
right of publication, is not out of the way,
for, by a unanimous vote passed at their
conference of December 30th at Chicago, the
librarians decided to oppose the adoption of
the bill and to defend their point of view
in the hearings of the Committee of Patents.

"But in spite of divergence on points of
detail the great moral efiFect that comes, mak-
ing a beginning, is there."

London Packers' Strike Ended

THE packer's strike, which has severely
handicapped publishing and bookselling in
London for several weeks, was settled on
March 24th with the men asking to be re-
instated at the wage offered. The demands
for reduction had been fought out by all the
publishers and jobbers working as a unit, with
the exception of Hodder & Stoughton, Cassell's,
and Hutchinson, who had kept on doing busi-
ness by agreeing to maintain the former wage
scale. The reports received this week indicate
that these three firms are now offering their
men the reduction won by the fight of the
other publishers and that they now have a
labor troulile on their hands.

The strike, which was brought by the Pack-
ers' Union, came when the men refused to
accept a 5s. reduction on the first of March
following a 5s. reduction last September. The
employers in a statement give the history of
the case, and the wage on which the men are
now reinstated is £3 14s. and 6d. as compared
to £3 5s. of 1919.

When living costs were at their heig-ht
(268%), the wage scale reached to £4 4s. 6d.,
and the employers contended that, as the cost
of living figures have now almost exactly
paralleled the cost of 1919, it would not have
been unfaiir to go iback to the £3 5s., but they
consented to the higher figure of £3 14s. 6d.
The publishing interests fought for their posi-
tion with a dogged determination that brought
into the shipping and billing room even the
heads of the firms.

What Trade Associations May

Senate Tariff Revisions About to be Reported

As was reported two weeks ago, the
schedules on books in the Fordney Tariff
have been gone over by the members of
the Senate Finance Committee in rewriting the
bill for conference between the two houses. It
is now expected in Washington that the printed
text as the Senate would have it will be ready
for public discussion within a week. The situ-
ation as it faces the book-trade is the most
serious one in its history.

On the bright side it is quite confidently ex-
pected that books over twenty years old and
also books in foreign languages will be put
back on the free list. Omitting these was so
obviously unfortunate and would reflect so
much discredit on any Congress that passea
them that it would seem that no committee
could stand against the criticism launched by
the book-trade and the library and educational
interests. It is also expected that the limitation
of libraries to two copies in their importation
will be removed, a limitation that had not been
present in the previous bill and had not any
virtues as an income maker or protection
measure. This would permit the libraries of
colleges and schools as well as public libraries
to bring in their books duty free, but the bill
will also need a phrase including all textbooks
in the free list to meet the educators completely
and it is to*be hoped that will also be included
when the bill is reported.

The situation as to the duty on current books
is much more threatening. As will be remem-
bered, the Fordney Tariff placed a 20% duty
on an American valuation. The two chief
protesting parties on this were the book-trade
and the library and educational interests. Dr.
Raney, representing the two latter, argued for
15% duty but explained that the libraries would
not wish to enter into the discussion as to the
basis on which this duty should be levied. 15%
on the English wholesale would be equivalent to
a little over 30% on the cost of the book to the
importing publisher.

The book-trade, glad of this support, believed
that this still left it too high and not justified
by the need of manufacturing protection. In
a draft presented to the Senate Finance Com-
mittee by Mr. Macrae on request in February,
the duty was left at 20%, but a strong plea
and just argument was made for having the
duty levied on the cost of the book as it was
bought in England. A special paragraph was
drafted, which, if it were included, would make
this assured. If such provision is not provided
and if duties are levied on either the American
valuation or the English wholesale (which
would be practically equivalent in the book
business) the duty paid will be unfortunately

heavy and will immediately curtail publishing
relations with London. In the old Payne-
Aldrich Bill, the tariff was 25%, but levied on
the cost to the American publisher.

If, as has been rumored in the last few days,
25% is to be brought in without provision for
levying it on the actual cost (or what would
be between 50 and 60% on the cost) the chance
of publishing in America important English
books, whose sale might run only into the hun-
dreds, is practically eliminated.

If this is the result of pressure brought by
the Printing Unions, they are serving their
Binding Unions poorly, because most of these
books are brought in in sheets to be bound in
cloth on this side.

The possibility of an excessive scale on
leather binding is also threatening if as the
binders are arguing the paragraph 1529 on the
free list should admit to the free list books
twenty years old only on the condition that they
have been printed and bound more than twenty
years. This is a move to make effective over
all types of books the very high tariff that the
unions are asking on leather binding. Tariff
on binding was put in the Fordney Bill at
33 1-3%, and the binders are 50%. As was
well pointed out by Charles E. Lauriat, Jr., in
his careful analysis of this leather binding situ-
ation, "even S3 i/3% is higher than is needed to
protect American workmen," and he quoted
comparative prices in both countries to prove
this. The hand binderies that are doing good
custom work are getting in this country all
the business that they can handle, and as fast
as good craftsmen increase, there is more to be
had.

Missouri Good Book Association

AVERY energetic effort to enlist all groups
in the promotion of religious books has
been undertaken in St. Louis. Under the name
of the "Missouri Good Book Association." an
informal organization has been created to
push the experiment of cooperative publicity.
The lead in this movement has been taken by
Samuel T. Larkin, formerly Presbyterian
minister and lately connected with publicity
and promotion work. The Church Federation
of St. Louis undertook to get out the message
"Good Books Are Life Teachers" to all
churches and Sunday Schools. The book-
sellers not only of St. Louis but thru the
state have been kept thoroly posted, and a
large amount of the material from the Religi-
ous Book Week Committee has been dis-
tributed.

BOOK DEPARTMENT OF THE PATTEN CXX, HONOLULU.

Developing Business in Honolulu

THE Patten Company of Honolulu has add-
ed the adjacent store to its floor area and
has now an exceptionally well arranged and
well lighted store for books, office furniture
and stationery. The book department, as is
shown in the photograph, carries a large stock,
and the white woodwork and mahogany tables
give an ideal display for the books.

W. N. Patten started in 1909 after having
been with the Hawaiian News Company for
six years, and from the three employees then
required the business has grown to require
thirty, and the volume of sales is now more
in one month than it was at that time for the
entire year. Recently Fred de Vilbiss, for-
merly with Paul Elder & Company, San Fran-
cisco, went to Hbnolulu, to take charge of the
book department. Harry M. Snyder, who rep-
resents a group of a dozen publishers in their
business expansion to Hawaii and the Far East,
has, since his last trip, spoken with great en-
thusiasm of the steady growth of Hawaii as a
book outlet. This photograph corroborates his
opinion that books are being well handled.

Ministers as Reviewers

AN interesting special feature of Religious
Book Week in Philadelphia was the plan
of the Public Ledger for a special Religious
Book Week supplement for the issue of April
8th. For this issue ten of the leading minis-
ters of the city representing all denominations
were asked to write signed reviews of the
prominent books.

A New Swindling Trick

ANEW swindling trick has been described
recently by the Los Angeles Record,
selling Bibles to dead men. Dave Gershon,
a speaial agent of the U. S. Department of
Justice has descrilbed the way the scheme
was worked: •

"The 'promoter,' clipped the death notices
from all the papers. Then he sent Bibles
to all the i).:rsons ment'oned in the column,
accompanied with a letter thanking the p^rson
for his or her kind order, and expressing
the hope that he or she would be perfectly
satisfied with the Bible and would send pay-
ment promptly.

"When the Bible arniived, the relatives of
the deceased opened the letter, and probably
thought— "Wasn(t that niq^-the last thing
he or she did on earth was to buy a fine
leather bound Bible?"

In practically all cases, they sent the money
to the promoter — ^to "keep faith" wiith the
last order made by the deceased relatfve just
as the promotor planned they would.

The Department of Justice ran the pro-
moter down, and received this impudent
answer :

" 'You can't touch me, because you can't
iprove that an order wasn't given for the
Bibles, The only way you could prove it
was on the word of the person himself, and
he's dead.'

"And he, legally speaking, had the 'drop'
on the Department of Justice. The depart-
ment, however, ran him out of the district
on a threat of 'vagging him.' "

Bookstores for Small Cities

THE question of effective book distribution
iin small places, which is so continuously
in the minds of publishers, received interesting
comment lin a letter which Brentano received
from an author recently who had written to
express appreciation of "The Doom Trail" and
to comment on the need for bookstores in a
town such as the one near her own, a com-
munity of between fifteen and sixteen thousand
population. The letter reads as follows:

"Our nearest town is the richest town in
the county, per capita, but at the moment it is
in the depths, financially and in morale; even
the movies are deserted. At the same time, I
strongly feel that at heart the rural New Eng-
lander as at all times held firmly by tradition;
it was always a part of his tradition that he
should own booiks, and althoi he certainly has
forsaken that tradition during his late years
of prosperity, at seems to me by no means un-
likely that having now been shaken from his
later acquirement of less substantial — I was
going to say of more friv-
olous — things, he may very
well be urged to return to
his earlier faith in the
others, book owning among
them.

"I wish some plan might
fee wlorked out by the pub-
ishers of ;putting the new
books before the small-
town public; real money is
held in the small towns, and
by people of sound taste
very largely. It is merely
that they have got out of
the halbit of buying bfooks,
and I believe they could be
led back into the ways of
righteousness.

"The library habit is all
right, but it ought to lead
farther than the mere read-
ing of books;' and New
Englanders will spend their
money for anything they be-
lieve substantial and lasting.
For that reason I cannot but feel that it
need not be a difficult matter to bridge the
thought that "This is a book you'll want to
read" and the other, that 'This is a book you'll
want to own." But people cannot buy books
when they are not on sale before them; and
the small-town merchant will not order in any
quantity, if at all. I wish we might see some
sort of serviceicomfbination between the pub-
lishers whereby at least one copy of each new
book might be seen in some window of the
simall town ; I believe the appeal would be a
large one, at any rate in New England."

Conference and Book Fair

THE League of American Pen Women will
hold at Washington, April 25th-28th a sil-
ver jubilee biennial conference and book fair.
The League now composes fifteen hundred
writing women with centers in fifteen cities,
this growth coming from a beginning of sev-
enteen members twenty-five years ago. Part
of the twenty-fifth conference will be devoted
to the book fair which will occupy a wing in
the Warden Park Hotel, the exhibits being
open only to the work of members. On the
26th there will be an anniversary breakfast at
12 o'clock, for which plates for six hundred
have been planned. Among the guests on this
occasion will be Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Basil King, Mar-
garet Widdemer, Maurice Francis Egan, John
Farrar of the Bookman, W. F. Bigelow, edi-
tor of Good Housekeeping, Lyman Sturgis of
the Century Company and General Pershing.
Eliza Poate Van Dyne of 1728 H Street,
Northwest, is Secretary of the Conference.

ONE OF BURROWS BROTHERS SIX PAINTED SIGNS ADVER-
TISING BOOKS.

Burrows Uses Billboards

SIX large painted signs and widely scattered
space for fifty posters are being used in
Cleveland for bookstore publicity by Burrows
Brothers Company. They believe from the
general comment about the signs and the num-
ber of people that have noticed them that it
can be considered a very effective way fo»-
keeping the store before an established public
and in the minds of potential buyers. The
large painted signs such as the one reproduced
herewith are done in several colors.

Reminiscences of a Book Scout

By Joseph Jewett Barton

VIII. '*The Gentle Art''

SOMETIME ago I wrote about a near-
sighted, little Jew named B. P. who
bought **pigs in pokes" at my friend Bill's
auction sales. I thought it was a rather divert-
ing little anecdote, and tried to show the
ridiculousness of a trait that had caused him
to fritter away all his money, a couple of
houses, and finally his second-hand furniture
store gambling on the contents of nailed up or
fastened boxes, barrels and trunks, and other
receptacles.

In a lofty, superior sort of a way I patron-
ized B. P., and quite often volunteered a little
advice. Perhaps I felt some sympathy when
I heard he had lost his store owing to his
pernicious habit. I most certainly had a feel-
ing of regret when I was told he was broke,
as it is very sad to be without funds, especial-
ly in the declining years.

A couple of weeks ago I dropped into Bill's
place on sales day. I generally managed to
get there the day before and look things over,
but I had been busy elsewhere and Bill had
not been getting much in my line lately, any-
way. There was a good sized crowd present,
and it was rather difficult to see what there was
for sale. Finally I got hold of one of the
helpers and asked him if there was anything
there for me, and he said there was a lot of
boxes in the rear that had some books in them.
I got to the rear and saw that a big man,
whom I didn't know, was trying to see thru
the cracks of the boxes. He seemed quite in-
terested, and he looked as tho he might be
a determined, obstinate bidder; one of the
kind that intends to have what he wants, even
tho he pays two or three times what an article
is really worth, and often ruins what might
have been a perfectly good auction. When he
moved away I took a look, and the boxes cer-
tainly had books in them, and as far as I could
see thru tho cracks, they were in good, fresh
condition.

About three o'clock in the afternoon they
got to the boxes, and Bill in his pulpit asked
for a bid on "seven boxes, said to contain books
and miscellaneous objects." "How much?" I
offered ten dollars, and somebody on the other
side, whom I could not see nor hear very well,
kept raising my bids a dollar at a time until
he reached twenty-five.

Thinking to discourage his pertinacity, I
jumped to thirty, and then he borrowed my
tactics and bid thirty-five. I thought thirty-
five dollars on suspicion was plenty and I

quit, left the place and went about my business
in another part of town.

I went into Bill's yesterday morning and
seeing him leaning against an iron pillar with
apparently nothing on his mind and ready for
conversation, I said, "Bill, who wa^ that
bidding on those boxes of books against me
the other day? Was it a big, heavy set man
about fifty years old?" "No," he replied,
"B. P. bought 'em." "But I thought B. P.
was broke, also cured of. buying mysterious
boxes. He can't even read sb what would he
ever do with seven boxes of books?" I objected.

Bill smiled and said he had given B. P. up
as a tough proposition long ago; he had often
refused to take his bid on lots he was quite
sure were of no value, trying to save him for
old times' sake, but it had no effect, and he,
Bill, had troubles of his own.

I sought out B'. P. and found he had rented
a store temporarily up on Broome Street, and
for the second time in about twenty-eight years
he had really bought something worth having,
at least from my point of view.

There was a set of the iih edition of the
Britannica, a set of the Harvard Classics, an-
other of Mark Twain in blue cloth, gilt;
Dickens in 25 vols. Thackeray in 30, and over
300 more miscellaneous books, mostly good,
espedially a nice "Gentle Art," by Mr. Whistler
in boards, uncut, Heinemann 1890.

On my way home I sat looking out of
the car window, noting the number of com-
mon, ordinary people who neither have books
in their attics, buy out-of-print items, nor are
in any way connected with the book-trade.
Then I looked at the dirty, slushy streets, the
drizzling rain from a darkening sky, and- the
altogether general dreariness of life in the
State of New Jersey. The siky was dull brown
and gray, with a dash of pink. Ideas crept into
my brain, and I thought I would surely have to
kill that B. P. I could picture me and Henry
Ford and the Dearborn Puiblishing Company
working together all the rest of our lives.

But then again, twice in twenty-eight years
isn't very often, and B. P. needs the money, and
his wife is a nice old lady ; and tomorrow or
the next day or sometime, the sun will shine
again, and the slush and the rain will mostly
run into the cellars, and it will be spring: and
I will sell Graham the Whistler and make
fourteen dollars and seventy-five cents, per-
haps.

The Voluntary Censorship Plan

AN ingenious system of voluntary censor-
ship has been devised to eliminale inde-
cent plays and make political censorship
of the stage unnecessary; and the plan seems
in a fair way to be put into effect. The scheme
was evolved at a meeting orf dramatists, man-
agers, and producers, actors and vice crusaders,
at the American Dramatists' Society on March
10. The Mayor, Police Commissioner Enright,
and Commissioner Gilchrist of the License
Department have signified their approval of
the plan, and their formal approval is virtually
assured as soon as the plan in all its details
can be laid ibefore them, the approval to include
a policy of hands off by political censors. On
March 29, the Producing Managers' Association
adopted a resolution accepting the plan.

The scheme plans the drawing of a panel of
300 citizens, 150 would be nominated by the
theatrical organizations and 150 by the Better
Public Shows Movement and the City Ad-
ministration. Good citizenship and common
sense would be the basis of the nominations.
Channing Pollack, Vice-President of the Au-
thor's League, who was one of the group which
drafted the plan, outlined its prdbable working
as follows :

"If a complaint against a given theatrical
production is received by the city officials, they
may call for a jury of twelve to be selected
from the panel above described, as representing
the theater on the one side and the public on
the other. Each side will have two peremptory
challenges. First, they must decide whether
any part of the production is objectionable
from the point of view of public morals.
Second, is the plan as a whole objectionable?
A vote of 9 to 3 constitutes a verdict. If the
jury decides that a manager must readjust
his play, he will have one week in which
to make the changes. Then the jury will re-
view the play. If the jury decides that the
iplay as a wihole is objectionable, all interests,
including the dramatists, owners, producers,
actors and the public, agree that the play shall
be taken off and that there shall be no appeal
to the courts. This agreement is to be included
in every contract made (by the managers with
both dramatists and actors."

This plan will be virtually a compromise be-
tween the efforts of the more zealous critics of
present-day plays and those who oppose any
form of censorship.

The zealous critics have been unusually active
this season. Perhaps the plays have been un-
usually deserving of condemnation. The Rev.
John Haynes Holmes recently called the the-
atrical situation in New York an unmitigated
scandal.

'T am opposed, however," he said "to a cen-
sorshiip, and it is because I am opposed that I
want the present situation cleaned up before we
have the censorship imposed upon us. A cen-
sorship has no place in a democracy because it
involves the substitution of a governnment of
persons for a government of law — an opinion
for a principle in social order. Furthermore,
a censorship, however well administered, is an
intolerable interference with the free activity
of the creative spirit."

The State censorship o:^ the movies is now
in force and serves as a warning of what might
befall the stage unless the stage censors itself.

Suppression of 'books has always aroused a
storm of controversy and book interests are
conscious that it is better to censor than be cen-
sored. Next week a committee of the National
Association of Book Publishers consisting of
Arthur H. Scribner, George Palmer Putnam
and Alfred Harcourt are to meet with an Au-
thors' League Committee headed by George
Creel to discuss the situation asl it exists in the
book field and make an analysis and possible
recommendation.

To Build a Stronger Nation

A CAMPAIGN of publicity on health
building and heafftih literature is being
launched for the week beginning May ist by
a large national committee, the initiative for
this effort coming from the Physical Culture
Magazine. William Muldoon, famous as a
•friend oif Roosevelt and other men in their
health building, is chairman of the committee,
which includes suoh names as Walter Camp,
Grantland Rice, Dougflas Fairbanks, Bernarr
Macfadden and many others. The strong back-
ing that has been obtained for the movement
promises t<y give it a decided nationwide aspect.
A letter from General John J. Pers-hing to the
committee reads:

"In vdew of the important position which
physical education has assumed is our national
life, both from the standpoint of economic
productivity and national preparedness, I feel
it to be the duty of all patriotic citizens to
assist in every way the movement started to
build up the physical well-being of every indi-
vidual in the country."

The committee is receiving letters from
many mayors and governors, expressing inter-
est in the plan of offering to give publicity
to the effort.

The book-trade has already become inter-
ested, and stores probably will be having spe-
cial exhiibits with a consequent spread of the
good health idea.

Books in the Hope Chest

AVERY significant indication of the fact
that books are receiving more consideration
than ever before as part of the equipment of
the new household is shown by the leading
editorial in the April number of the Woman's
Home Companion headed "A Unique Hope
Chest":

"We confess to a kind of sentimental fond-
ness for 'Hope Chests.' It has always appealed
to us, this idea of a girl laying by fine linen
against the day of her marriage. We have
aways counted it to be one of the loveliest of
our grandmothers' customs, and have done our
best to encourage its perpetuation.

" 'Why don't yiou start a hope chest ?' we
asked one of our ultra-modern young friends.
'I have started one,' she said. 'But I wouldn't
be bothered collecting 'a lot of fine linen.

" 'Tom and I expect to live very simply. In-
stead of expensive damask, we will have, for
the first years, at any rate, on our mahogany
drop-leaf dining table, those nice linen-colored
runners that cost little, look charming, and are
so easily laundered. But I'm going to have a
hope chest, and you wouldn't knowi it for a
chest at all, maybe, for, to be exact, it's a
bookcase. The treasures I'm collecting for
Tom's and my house in the future years are
books. Now don't you think that is a nice
idea?'

"A hope chest of books! How that stirs
the imagination! How a centerpiece pales
before that fine volume of Lamb, or Meredith,
or Galsworthy! How a tablecloth and a dozen
napkins shrink into nothingness compared with
that splendid practical edition of Shakespeare,
and the fine Shakespeare commentaries, or Kip-
ling, or Stevenson, if you like, or some of the
modern essayists. As for dish towels, even of
the best weave, two dozen, three dozen of them,
who would think of them in the same day with
those fifteen fat volumes of a fine standard
encyclopedia, or the two fat volumes of Wells's
'Outline of History.' And what table embroid-
eries could be better than, or half so good as,
those richly-dight pages of the poets, standard
and modern — volumes of them there, all in a
row! Sheets, pillow cases, sets of doilies, sets
of napkins! At the best, these are temporal
matters, that will in time wear and tear and
need to be replaced, but the Dickens, the
Thackeray, the beloved set of Shaw, the Emer-
son, the Froude, these wrill last for a lifetime,
and the treasures they hold will be always at
hand.

"And, oh yes, there is one other thing that
commends it mightily in our eyes. The old-
fashioned hope chest was an affair appertain-

ing peculiarly to the bride. The bridegroom
looked at the snowy linen not because he took
any particular pride in it, but because she did.
Was that beautiful damask? Well, so much
the better. He was willing to take her word
for it. Personally, he wouldn't have known
damaisk from duck. So he stood outside of all
this splendor, and had only a vicarious pride
and no share in the selection of it.

"But a hope chest of books! There is his
sympathetic opportunity. He knows how to
buy books, or he thinks he does. He has his
favorite present-day authors; and he thinks he
knows a thing or two about what standards
and what 'moderns,' as well, are indispensable
to a really good home library. So the hope
chest is his, too. And by and by, when they
read together in their own library, under the
light of a cozy lamp, it would not surprise us
if he put down his book a moment to look
with a delighted eye on the bookshdves in
the firelight and to remark heartily in modern
vernacular, 'Some hope chest, I'll say!*"

New Chicago Bookshop

THE Paiine Book Co. has recently opened
a new shop at 87 West Randolph Street,
Chicago, across from the Olympic Theater.
The new store carries new and rare books,
limited editions and other scarce items, and a
fine assortment of the second-hand books that
are lin great demand. The stock has been so
arranged that the tKX)ks are easily accessible
to the book hunter and includes late fiction,
popular priced fiction, poetry, drama, works
on art and technical sulbjects, magaziines, as
well as other lines that go to make up a
well-equipped book shop. One of the features
of the new shop is the arcade-Hke window dis-
play — ^an innovation in local book circles.

In November, 1914, L. W. Paine opened
a retail store at 33 South Clark Street
under the name, "The Economy Book Shop."
The number of its friends has grown to such
an extent that lit was deemed advii sable to
open up another store. After a careful inves-
tigation and a checking of the amount of
traffic at various places the new space was
leased.

The Economy Book Shop will still be
operated under the name "Paine's Economy
Book Shop,'' at the old address.

A few months ago the Paine Book Co.
(not Inc.) moved its offices and wholesale
depaTtment from the retail store at 33 South
Clark Street, where it had been situated, to
new space at 75 West Van Buren Street.

The Publisher's Jabberwock

By Michael Gross

f *Tr*WiAS volland, and the little browns
J[ Did holt and boni in the watt;
All duffield were the liverights.
And the *huebsch Hppincott.

"Beware the houghtonmiffs, my son !
The stoke that bites, the reilly lee!
Beware the doubledays, and shun
The harper company 1''

He took his knopfy sword in hand:
Long time the houghtonmiffs he sought.
So rested he by the putnam tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in crowell thought he stood,
The Flemrevell with eyes of flame
Barsehopkined thru the longmans green,
And dunlapped as it came.

Dodd mead ! dodd mead ! and from his steed
His sully sword went laird and lee !
He left it dead and with its head
He lothroped off scot free.

"And hast thou slain the Flemrevell?
Come to my arms, my bradley boy?"
Away with care ! devin adair !
He scribnered in his joy.

*Twas volland, and the little browns
Did holt and boni in the watt;
All duffield were the liverights,
And the huebsch lippincott.

Wanted: A Perfect Bookseller

MUCH has been said recently to encourage
new people to enter the book business and
frequent estimates are offered by the exper-
ienced as to the qualifications for the work and
possible reemuneration. One of the graduates
of Miss Graham's school in Philadelphia has
sent to the Publishers' Weekly a clipping
from the Help Wanted columns of the New
York Times which she seems to think painted
the requirements in a way that would permit
not more than one person in a million to
qualify. This indeed would be the bookseller
par excellence.

EXECUTIVE
American college woman, 30 to 35 years, or cultural
equivalent, to manage and develop a small, very
famous artistic book shop; knowledge of all literature,
business experience, stenography, typewriting, book-
keeping; good opportunity for capable woman with
pleasing personality and modern mind. W 443 Times.

Beginners in the Book Game

'T'HE American News Trade Journal thru

1 which the American News Company has
been reaching out for new outlets for books
as well as magazines, has found a ready re-
sponse in the last few months, and in the
current issue it states that it has started over
five hundred new handlers of books in the past
year.

'*We firmly believe," it says, "that the time
is not far distant when practically every man
who sells magazines will also carry a limited
line of books. The two lines are so closely
allied as to be almost inseparable."

Most periodical dealers are likely to make
a venture into a new field in a small way, and
as a practical step for a man with slight capi-
tal to add a display of 'books it suggests the
following procedure :

First, get a general book catalog as a guide
to ibusiness, one such as the News Company
dssues.

Second, buy a revolving display rack or a
special counter such as the Munger display
rack. (The importance of proper display of
books has been strongly emphasized in all
recent progress in bookselling).

Third, order twenty-five best sellers, (twenty
novels and five non-fiction), forty or fifty
popular copyrights.

Fourth, get five hundred of the News Com-
pany's bulletin of book chat.

Fifth, send a form letter to three or four
hundred families announcing the starting of a
limited ^book department and enclosing the book
chat.

Sixth, rubber stamp all store mail matter
and 'hills with announcement of tihe book
department.

Seventh, establish a circulating library,
charging two dollars per enrollment and fif-
teen cents a week for any book.

Eighth, advertise book service in the local
paper.

Ninth, make a window display.

Tenth, announce your book service in the
motion picture slides.

Eleventh, card index every customer with his
needs and interests.

Twelfth, keep in touch with the News Com-
pany, and if you have any trouble ask questions.

All this can he done on an investment of a
hundred dollars.

Over 150,000 of the three "Mirrors books"
have thus far been sold, Putnams announce.
The "Mirrors of Washington" leads with 75,-
000, the "Mirrors of Downing Street" is cred-
ited with 45,000, and already the "Glass of
Fashion" has reached the 30,000 mark.

Newspapers and Printers

THE New York Newspaper Publishers'
Association, having behind one long
extended difficulty with the pressmen, is now
facing the renewal of a contract with the
printers when the existing arrangement ex-
pires May 1st.

According to the publishers' statement, the
chief difficulty in getting any new contract
with the printers is that "Bix Six" will
arbitrate only those things that might be set-
tled unfavorably to the publishers' interest, but
questions that the Union deems to be unfavor-
able to its side the Union will not consent to
submit to arbitration on the ground that these
points are covered by the Union's "laws." In
the present discussion, the chief argument is
what is known as the "bogus" rule which re-
quires that all advertising matter which has
been set up outside of the newspaper plant
shall be reproduced in the plant of the news-
paper within four days of the date the matter
appears in print. This old rule more than any
other in the trade shows the absurd possibili-
ties of one-sided contracts.

In the conditions of national advertising it
is very often decidedly advantageous for the
advertising agent to plan and set copy for a
whole campaign at some printing office where
very special composition can be done and the
whole matter can then be reproduced in plates
for the various newspapers. When this plate
matter goes to the New York newspaper it is
printed at once, but according to this rule all
the copy must then be set up by the men In
that particular shop by a machine and by hand,
it must be proof-read, the errors corrected
and when it is all complete it is thrown into
the melting pot, this process to be repeated in
each one of the New York newspapers where
the plate matter has been set.

Strike Affects Binding Cloths

THE strike in the Rhode Island mills, of
over two months' duration, has affected the
Interlaken Mills, one of the largest manufac-
turers of book cloth. The Company's mills
were completely closed down with the excep-
tion of the fininshing plant which has run
shorthanded for a while. This mill is one of
those in the Patuxet Valley group Which has
had no organized labor, and the fight has been
particularly bitter. The average wage of the
skilled worker, according to reports issued, is
slightly over a thousand dollars a year, and
the mill owners wish to reduce this by twenty
per cent. The men feel that a lower wage is
not going to give them living conditions of the
kind they should have for themselves or their
families. The contest seems likely to be pro-
tracted.

California and the Book Tariff

AVERY energetic and well directed action
to keep the bookseller's needs to the front
in the minds of Congress was taken by the
Booksellers' Association of San Francisco Bay
Counties on March gth. It wired to all of
California's representatives in both houses,
protesting against the way the tariff had been
drafted both as to the free list inclusions and
the American valuation. Senators Johnson and
Shortridge and Representatives Kahn and No-
lan promptly acknowledged the telegrams and
expressed their interest therein. Mr. Nolan
trassmitted the representations to Mr. Ford-
ney and when his reply seemed to indicate that
he was satisfied with the bill as it had been
submitted to the Senate, the Booksellers' Asso-
ciation drafted a very complete and adequate
summary of the whole situation, combining
with the protest of the booksellers that of the
librarians of San Francisco, whose interests
lie in the same direction. This correspondence
was reprinted in a four-page form and widely
circulated.

Parnassus on Wheels Again

THE inquiry in our editorial columns a few
weeks ago as to who would be on the roads
this summer selling books has brought details
from Frank Shay, the New York bookseller,
announcing that he himself will start out
with a wagon wihen summer comes, and the
route will be along Cape Cod from Province-
town to Wood's Hole. Mr. Shay expects to
visit each town once a week and on schedule,
and the stock will include good low priced
books, especially from such series as Every-
man's, World Qassics, Modern Library,
Home University and a selection of new books.
He is also planning to add a circulating library
to the equipment, which will be a new feature
in such bookselling and will be made possible
from the fact that he will go back and forth
over the same ground during the summer.
"Ted" Robinson, a bookseller and columnist
of Cleveland, is an entrant into the caravaning
field according to an earlier announcement.

As Five is to Two

THE Phoenix Magazine, published by stu-
dents in the University of Qiicago, has de-
duced as the result of a hundred question-
naires that the college men there spend $i75r
ooo every three months for dances as com-
pared with $66,000 spent in the bookstores. As
the dance expense was incurred at the stu-
dent's own free will and the books were pre-
sumably mostly bought as class textbooks un-
der compulsion, the comparison is certainly de-
cidely to the disadvantage of the book.

A WARNING!

61 Fourth Ave.,
New York City.
Editor, Publishers' Weekly :

Last Friday a young fellow, of about twenty,
neat-looking, and alert, came to my store and
told me a hard luck story of being out of
work for several weeks. He said he used to
work as a packer in the American Book Co.
and that hd had not had anything to eat for
the last two or three days. I gave him some
money to get a good meal and told him to
come back and I would try, to help him. When
he came back, I gave him my card with the
addresses of several other dealers in town.
In the -meantime, I suggested that he should
help one of my men to take over two bundles
of books to a customer of mine on 135th Street,
near 8th Ave.

That is the last I have heard from him.
My man, on the way up town called me up
to tell me that the young man had disap-
peared together with the bundle of books.

P. Stammer.

THE exhibition of the graphic arts at the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences
at 15 West Eighty-first Street is attract-
iag a great deal of attention. Experienced ob-
servers remark upon the growing interest in
this country in the art of engraving.

The library of Lady Burdett-Coutts will be
sold at Sotheby's in London May 15, 16 and
17. Two very important sales are now planned
for the middle of May in this city. Taking
New York and London together, May bids
" fair to be the most important month of the
season.

An interesting and varied collection of books
including works on Chinese, Japanese and In-
dian art, Japanese prints, colored plate books,
standard sets and fine bindings will be sold at
the Anderson Galleries April 10 and 11. There
are a number of first editions of George Cruik-
shank, among them the first issue of the first
edition of the "Omnibus" and the "Table
Book" in the original parts.

• In order to keep the Leipziger Museum from
financial collapse the Saxon Government has
consented to the sale of the forty-two line Gu-
tenberg Bible which has been one of its great-
est treasures. Holland has offered 10,000,000
marks for it. Since this is only about $29,000,
or a little more than one-half of what the Hoe
copy brought, some collector or library in this
country ought to feel like raising Holland's bid.

A generation ago the manuscript treasures
of the Vatican Library were practically inac-
cessible. Since then one barrier after another
has been removed until in recent years fac-
similes have been made of many of the oldest
and most valuable manuscripts with all of their
illustrations for other libraries. There has
been such warm appreciation of this new pol-
icy that the present director is considering still
greater activities along the lines that have been
so successful.

The farm in the Catskills near Roxbury
where John Burroughs was born, spent his
boyhood, and where a year ago he was laid to
rest, has been purchased by Henry Ford, long
a vacation comrade of the naturalist. On Mon-
day, April 3, the anniversary of the burial of
Burroughs, the farm was dedicated to his
memory. A bronze plaque was imbedded in
the great rock over the grave of the author,
and it has been planned to preserve the farm
as nearly as possible as he knew it.

In the recent sale of the Coates collection in
Philadelphia, a copy of KipHng's "Stalky &
Co." had a note from the author in which he
writes : "Many thanks for your note. It's good
hearing that 'Stalky & Co.' amused you, be-
cause I had rather a good time myself writ-
ing it. It's in the nature of a moral tract —
only a perverse generation insists on calling it
comic, and a boy's book, and a lot of other
things which it isn't. It's all cribbed from
Froebel, with a few alterations to disperse the
plagiarisms."

The Detroit Public Library has started a
series of monthly publications known as the
"Burton Historical Collection Leaflets." Each
of these will present extracts from the writ-
ings of some author whose work is contained
in the Burton Historical Collection of the li-
brary thus making known to students gener-
ally, as well as to the people of Detroit, some-
thing of the resources of the library. The first
of the series deals with Henry R. Schoolcraft,
giving a brief biographical sketch, followed
by some sixteen pages of extracts from
Schoolcraft's memoirs, documents and other
papers.

At the sale of Americana by the Heartman
Auction Company at Perth Amboy, N. J.,
April I, a letter concerning the success of the
Gospel among the Indians of New England
written by Increase Mather and printed at Ut-
recht, 1699, the third or fourth edition, and
one of the rarest of the Mathers, brought $165
and went to Lathrop C. Harper of this city.
A letter written by Aaron Burr giving his
reasons for not joining the Cincinnati Society
sold for $43. A copy of an original printed
form of agreement between Charles II and the
seven proprietors of Carolina realized $56.

Every large sale this season has been a bran^
new problem. Before it occurred all have won-
dered whether it would be a success or not;
dealers have been so conservative when buy-
ing for stock and collectors so very quiet that
there has been much doubt as to where buyers
were to come from. And yet genuine rarities
have brought good prices and freqently new
high records were made. The value of rare
books has shown much less contraction than
prints and paintings. Book collectors seem to
have learned the lesson that the time to buy
a rare book is when it is offered for sale. It
is not safe to delay when one has a fair oppor-
tunity.

The Publishers' Weekly

The keen interest in Far Western Ameri-
cana, as shown in sales during the last two or
three years, is resulting in many discoveries.
The press reports and comments on these sales
have shown many that letters, manuscripts, sur-
veys, broadsides, pamphlets and books dealing
with the discovery, settlement and early life in
the Far West find a quick sale at seemingly
high prices. Bookshops that have made a spe-
cialty of this line have been doing a thriving
business, and they deserve much credit for
their initiative in stimulating the preservaton
of much material concerning early western his-
tory that if delayed longer would have been
lost.

The sale of Part III of the library of Dr.
Frank P. O'Brien, of this city, comprising
books, pamphlets, maps, surveys, broadsides
and views relating to the Far West at the An-
derson Galleries March 27 and 28 demonstrated
anew the keen interest in historical material
relating to this section. The 672 lots brought
$10,290.85, the total being much larger than ex-
pected. The rare lots brought high prices
making many new high records. Lathrop C.
Harper, Ernest Dressel North and G. A. Baker
& Co. of this city, and Walter M. Hill of Chi-
cago, were among the dealers buying some of
the most important lots. The highest price,
$1,200, was paid for the Saturday Star Jour-
nal, a. complete file in 28 folio volumes, pub-
lished by Beadle & Company in New York in
1870 and 1897. Other important lots and the
prices which they brought were as follows:
AlcClashan's "History of the Donner Party. A
Tragedy of the Sierras," 8vo., cloth, Truckee,
Cal, 1879, $120; Canfield's "Northern Pacific
Railroad. Partial Report to Directors," etc.,
maps, 8vo., cloth, n. p. 1870, $100; Clark's "A
Trip to Pike's Peak and Notes by the Way,
with Numerous Illustrations," 8vo., cloth, Chi-
cago, 1861, $75; Smart's "Leadville, Ten Mile,

Oregon Trail, $260; Reynold's "Friendship's
Offering. A Sketch of the Life of Dr. John
Mason Peck," 8vo., wrappers, Belleville, 1858,
$230; and the original manuscript surveys and

Why Europe Leaves Home

By Kenneth L. Roberts

JULIAN STREET says:

It is of course one of the most important books ever published in
America.

AMERICAN CONSULAR BULLETIN says:

It paints the perils of the melting pot in warning words of fire and
force.

ADMIRAL WM. S. SIMS says:

It is really an astonishing production. I hope it will have a very
wide circulation because the information it contains is of vital impor-
tance to the American people.

ADMIRAL C. F. GOODRICH says:

I can't sufficiently express my gratitude to Kenneth L. Roberts
for what he has written to help stem the tide of immigration.

SENATOR W. P. DILLINGHAM, Former Chairman U. S. Immigration
Commission, says :

It will create a profound impression upon the reading public in the
United States.

LOTHROP STODDARD, author of The Rising Tide of Color says :

Every real American ought to read WHY EUROPE LEAVES
HOME. It describes vividly that inpouring tide of human filth, which
unless soon barred, will turn America like old Rome, into a "sewer of

HON. ALBERT JOHNSON, Chairman of the House Committee on
Immigration, says:

WHY EUROPE LEAVES HOME should be read by every one
in this country.

MADISON GRANT, author of The Passing of the Great Race, says:

WHY EUROPE LEAVES HOME is an extremely valuable piece
of work. He brings out shocking facts.

PROFESSOR ROBERT DeC. WARD, Harvard University, says:

Every American who has the future welfare of his country at heart
should read WHY EUROPE LEAVES HOME. Nothing more
startling, or more significant, has ever been written on this aspect of
immigration.

"Lots of folks cries for the moon
but almighty few's willin' to work for

it."

"Knowin' horses, I hev discovered,
ain't so much of a help in knowin'
people. Horses hev got so much more

sense."

We believe "Q" will appeal to as
many people as Mrs. Burt's great
success, "The Branding Iron." It has
the same skillful blending of romance
and action, and in "Q" himself, it has
one of the most friendly, fascinating
and colorful characters of recent
fiction.

PETER
WHIFFLE

by Carl
Van Vechten

MR. VAN VECHTEN'S first novel is a
distinct achievement. It tells the story
of Peter Whiffle, as strange a character
as can be found between covers, the author
who never wrote a book. The action passes
in the cafes and studios and theatres and a
certain celebrated perfumery shop, in Paris
and New York; and actual characters, famil-
iar to everyone, are in its pages.

A novel for all who like Aldous Huxley's
Croinc Yellow. The first edition is particu-
larly handsomely bound. $2.50 net

((

URPLE ROAIANCE" is the metier of this
r^^ novel. The action is in the China Sea, on a

mysterious island where Ainu savages are
ruled by a white Kami, or god. The hero is Jerry
Stewart, a likeable American; and there are many
other interesting characters, including a happy-go-
lucky, sea-faring opera troupe. The story combines
adventure and humor. Th-rills and a bully love story
with a happy and satisfying ending. $2.50 net

since The Middle-Temple Murder.
I am therefore undertaking a generous
advertising campaign for it in the be-

where Fletcher sales can be very con-
sideraljly increased. I will be glad to

''The COVER oft proclaims the hook"

— apologies to Shakespeare.

Bright, snappy covers help to sell big editions.

Gold stamping makes bright snappy covers.

But gold stamping has been too expensive for
moderate-priced books.

After four years of research we have perfected a
patented process for using our product—

ALCHEMIC GOLD

in place of gold or imitation gold leaf.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SPECIFY
ALCHEMIC GOLD:—

This process has the following advantages, in addition
to the fact that the cost is but little more than ink on
the average cover:

1. Covers done w^ith Alchemic Gold are dry the
moment they leave the press.

— Think what this means in production speed.

2. With Alchemic Gold no sizing, laying-on, or
rubbing-off is necessary.

— Think what these points mean iu the shop.

3. Alchemic Gold will not tarnish, rub off nor lose
its lustre.

— Think what these points mean in the selling
appeal of the finished book.

Ask your binder to show you samples and quote prices.

The Best Selling
Non-Fiction Book in America

ON April 4 we published THE HOME RADIO: HOW TO MAKE AND USE
IT, by A. Hyatt Verrill. This advertisement is being written on April 11th.
To date the sales of this book are more than 22,000. The fourth large edition has
just come from our presses — a remarkable record for a period of less than
two weeks.

Seldom have the booksellers had an opportunity to cash in on a sellers'
market. The war raised most lines of business to the crest of prosperity. The
book dealer pursued the even tenor of his ways with no appreciable increase in
sales volume. Right now Radio is your golden opportunity. Radio is literally
a craze that is sweeping the country. Thousands have Radio sets. Thousands
more become interested every day.

They want information about Radio. And they want it at a gulp. They
want to understand Radio this morning and get their sets in working order for
this evening's Radio Concert.

THE HOME RADIO

HOW TO MAKE AND USE IT

By A. Hyatt Verrill Price 75 cents

makes this possible and tells what to do and how to do it; what to buy and what
to make. The price, too, is right — a good looking cloth bound book with an
attractive jacket for 75 cents.

One dealer reluctantly bought a dozen copies of THE HOME RADIO. Three
days later he bought a gross. Another who bought one hundred copies, ordered
five hundred four days later. There are many similar instances. (Names of
dealers on application).

Seize your opportunity today. Remember the Radio boom won't last for-
ever. Every day you are without copies of this book you are losing sales. Sit
right down now and send in your order. Tell us how many posters for window
and counter display you can use and how many circulars.

Don't just put a couple of copies in your window and forget them. Fill
your window full to the exclusion of all other books for a few days. It will
pay. Think in large figures while you are writing your order and send it in
today.

SERGEANT YORK

AND

HIS PEOPLE

By SAM K. COWAN

This is not a war book, but a true, vivid, and inspiring
record of the making of a real American.

The story which Mr. Cowan has so graphically told is an
enthralling one of mountain life in Tennessee from the days
of the "Long Hunter" down to today. Here are given for the
first time the full facts about Alvin York, his ancestry, his
surroundings, his home life, his handicaps, and all the
influences which so shaped his character that, when put to the
surpreme test, he was enabled to perform what Marshal Foch
declared to be the World War's greatest individual achieve-
ment.

Not only will "Sergeant York and His People" appeal
strongly to civilians but to all ex-service men as well, for it
provides the only permanent record of the life and war deeds
of our greatest civilian soldier of the World War, and gives
these facts in full for the. first time. To boys, it will prove
a never-failing source of inspiration, though not in any sense
a "boy's book" as that term is generally understood.

Enthusiastically Received by Critical Reviewers
(Already in its third printing)

By MARY JOHNSTON

Author of **To Have and To Hold, " ''Cease Firing, ''etc.

Louise Maunsell Field in The New York Times says:

"A fascinating compound of history and romance. . . . To read it is to step out
of our modern life into a world possessed of a glamor and a magic our own can
never have. Like a piece of old hand-wrought tapestry is this new and unusual
novel."

William Rose Benet in The New York Evening Post says:

" 'Silver Cross' has odd, singing rhythms and a poetic bravado of swift characteri-
zation and description that are genuinely refreshing. The breath of true romance
is in this book, ... It is the work of an artist."

Grace Isabel Colbron in The New York Herald says: ,

"Two of Mary Johnston's good qualities as a writer are present in this book in
full measure ; her ability tb call up a past age and make the figures from that
time, living, breathing human beings and her power to make the ibig central theme
behind the story, real and living also. . . . There is much power and charm in
the book."

Cosmo Hamilton in The Philadelphia Public Ledger says:

"The story moves with the rhythm, the beauty, and the richness of a Shakespearan
pageant. There is music in its writing, and poetry; there is a deftness of touch, a
shrewdness and an irony, and through it all, a kindliness that makes one thankful to
Mary Johnston for having rounded up all the experience of her life and her art into
this masterly effort."

Sidney Williams in The Philadelphia North American says:

" 'Silver Cross' is a story vigorously advanced, always richly colored, alwa(ys
romantic in tone. It is Miss Johnston's best writing of recent years, and as such
exceedingly pleasant to those deeply indebted for stirring romances of her early
remarkably brilliant period."

THE REFLECTIONS OF A BOOKSELLER

''He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder,

to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives:

to our sense of pity and beauty and pain.''

From Conrad's preface to the "Nigger of the 'Narcissus.' "

For four ^-ears Conrad has been haunting me. With interest I have
watched the flood of appreciation that these last years have brought
to this genius ; appreciation which, particularly in this last year,
lias reached tidal proportions. Many critics, more recently William
McFee and Henry S. Canby, have paid high tribute to this "recognized
and indisputable master of our art." It is a question in my mind if
we average American booksellers have even tapped the potential sales
possibilities of the books written by Joseph Conrad.

In liis works we find :

1. Tales of man's struprgle with fate, often resulting; at once in a phys-
ical defeat and a spiritual victory; tales with keen characterizations.
Tales of nautical adventure, colored with inimitable seascapes.

2. He writes about his characters from inside their hearts and inside
their minds. His people become known to his readers and a reader of
one volume of Conrad is a likely reader for all volumes, because he knows
he will really find stories peopled with living souls.

3» The untrammelled imagination that might be lound only in such
genius as Conrad, who has the birthright of the Pole's fancy, and who has
sailed the seas of the world, becoming first a master seaman and then one
of the greatest tellers of tales in English, his adoptd language.

4. To read all of Conrad's work is to explore one of the most wonder-
ful and interesting minds of my own generation.

5. His American publishers, Doubleday, Page & Company, have issued
his books in attractive form, appropriately bound in cloth and leather
at reasonable prices.

I, for one, shall this year more earnestly guide my customers to the
books of Joseph Conrad, because I know that I shall be doing a
genuine service to each and every one of them. Besides, every time
I persuade a new reader to discover Conrad for himself, I have made
a potential sale of many other Conrad books. For he will talk Conrad
to his friends, and he will buy other Conrad stories for himself.

If I can get a good customer to read Conrad's preface to "The Nigger
of the 'Narcissus,' " in which he explains Iiis conception of the novel-
ist's art, I shall have added much to my client's pleasure and something
to his education.

Joseph Conrad's publishers in America are Doubleday, Page &
Company, who also publish O. Henry, Booth Tarkington, and
David Grayson.

GENTLE JULIA

By BOOTH TARKINGTON

"GENTLE JULIA" is the story of a beautiful girl of twenty with a
gift for dress, and a dangerously gentle spirit mixed with native coquetry,
which prevented her from expressing her preferences. Her numerous
admirers dangled in consequence. She is afflicted with relatives, among
them a little niece, the feminine counterpart of Penrod.

The book is distinct but the reader will find to his delight that the
author is "the same old Tarkington," merry (with Penrodian flashes of
deviltry) like a little boy, and infinitely wise like a philosopher who has
found the key to the book of life. "A gay and joyous book."

THE tariff proposed to the Senate h^ its
Finance Committee is by no means a cer-
tainty but rather adds to the uncertainty.
The two houses are at loggerheads, and Chair-
man Fordney announces for the House that it
will fight "until the snow flies"^which may
mean until sbme politicians are "snowed un-
der." The chief disagreement is on the basis
of valuation, the Senate insisting on the more
sensible plan of continuing foreign valuations
as heretofore, while the House has stood by its
pet notion of American valuations, which busi-
ness men in general as well as treasury experts
feel would be indefinite and troublesome be-
yond expression. The foreign valuation would,
of course, be the lower, and to offset this the
Senate bill proposes somewhat higher ad
valorem duties where these are the sole duties
or where they are associated with specific
duties.

It is probable, however, that in Schedule
13 the item which chiefly interests the trade,
that on books in general, will remain as pro-
posed in the Senate bill. This is the present
15 per cent except on books of American
authorship, which it is proposed to increase to
25 per cent. This meets the views of pub-
lishers and the book-trade in general, who
have not wished to increase duties above the
present rate, and of the printers, who have
feared that publishers might print books of
American origin. in England or elsewhere and
import them to avoid the high typographical
costs still ruling here. The basis of valuation
of books is still left indefinite in the Senate
i»ill, as the suggestion of publishers that the
basis should be actual oost without royalties
does not seem to have been accepted and the
contradictiory rulings made in the Treasury De-
partment from time to time will remain a
perplexity to publishers. The book binding
unions have reason to be satisfied, in any event

with the 15 per cent duty on English books and
sheets, as a higher duty would have a tend-
ency to check the purchase of editions of 250
to 500 copies in sheets to be bound here, as is
the common practice of publishers to-day. A
new distinction is proposed in placing a sepa-
rate duty at the excessive rate of 45 per cent
on leather hound books, the chief value of
which is in the binding, this being an increase
from the Fordney rate of Zd i/3 per cent.
It would seem undesirable that any such dis-
tinction should be made, but even if made it
sihould not be at either of the high rates sug-
gested.

The bill includes on the free list books in
foreign languages and 'books over twenty years
old, but old books rebound within the twenty
year period would be dutiable, the phraseology
subjecting the bbok contents as well as the
binding to the duty. A duty on the binding of
such books is not unreasonable, but it should
not e excessive and it should positively not in-
clude the book contents. A provision so worded
would be prohibitive of the present practice of
importers like Henry E. Huntington in buying
important books in their foreign binding for his
private collections, which, in most cases, are
destined to be ultimately public collections. Mr.
Huntington, for instance, might pay thousands
of dollars for a book merely unique which would
be a precious possession for America on which
the binding would be fi*om ten to a hundred
dollars in value. A tax on the binding would
not be so serious a matter, but a duty bf 15 per
cent on a rare volume bought at a thousand
dollars or ten thousand dbllars, or even more,
would, of course, be an unnecessary hardship.

The ifirst published reports also omitted from
the free list the proviso in favor of public libra-
ries and like institutions, which are, as a matter
of fact, still included. The restriction to two
copies in any one invoice is removed, so that li-
braries may import a number of copies provided
these are for their own use and not for sale
or disposal otherwise. Educational books are,
■however, omitted filom the free list and are
dutiialble on the same basis as other books. Toy
books with no reading matter other than letters
have been increased from 40 per cent to 70 per
cent; and the rate on picture books with more
reading matter, from 20 per cent to 35 per
cent.

Under present circumstances, the trade must
remain in perplexity pnobably for weeks if not
months to come as to the actual outcome of
the tariff situation. It is to be hoped that,

1098

The Publishers' Weekly

meanwhile, the conference committee may agree
to a sensible schedule which will retain the
prop<)sed 15 per cent and 25 per cent,
respectively, will reduce the duty on bindings
by making this the same as on books and will
also confine the duty on rebinding of books
over twenty years old to such rebinding with-
out including the book aontents within the bind-
ing. The Senate Committee has been most cour-
teous and considerate in its treatment of the
representatives of the publishing and cognate
interests during the progress of the hearing,
and it is to be hoped that both Senators and
Representatives will be equally willing as the
debate continues to give sympathetic attention
to the sound and sensible arguments of the
trade, particularly as represented in the ad-
mirable brief which Mr. Macrae presented to
the Senate Finance Committee.

The Gift for the Graduate

As the calendar turns toward May, we
will soon be in the midst of the gradu-
ation season, first of private schools and
academies, then of the grade and high schools
and colleges. If friends wish to mark the
graduation day of any boy or girl, no gift
whatsoever can compare with a book. In the
•field of the graduation gift the book certainly
deserves first consideration. Thru no other med"
ium can, the dbnor so well express his good
wishes to the boy or girl who is "on the thres-
hold."

•Graduation time, whether it be merely a step
from one room to another, from grade school
to high school, or the final step out into the
world, is a time for high hopes and a time for
practical advice. In books, hopes can be visu-
alized and advice be made concrete and accept-
able. Flowers will make the day brighter,
but they will be forgotten, but books still
occupy a proud place as a cornerstone of a
growing library.

Booksellers have a real mission in bringing
this point home not only in this year but in
continuing years until tihe idea of books for
graduation is ingrained in the thoughts of
every parent and relative. It is not an idea
that can be put over by one display or one
advertisement, but needs the cumulative power
of reiterated argument borne in from all sides
and thru succeeding years.

Many schools have established prizes for
good, work in various fields, and this plan
might easily be encouraged among the alumni
of both private and public schools. A gift of

ten or fifteen or twenty-five dollars' worth of
books given annually for the best work in Elng-
lish or history, science or public speaking
would be a provision that any alumnus might
be happy to make and he would be only too
glad to have received the suggestion. The
bookseller has it in his power to make this
suggestion tO' those most likely to carry it thru,
and each year a most acceptable and worthy
beginning would be made to a boy's or girl's
library.

Whatever headway is made this year toward
bringing home the importance of books for
graduation will bear continued fruit.

Price Maintenance at the
Convention

IN taking up the suggestion made by Qiarles
E. Butler to bring price maintenance strongly
to the front at the Convention, the Program
Committee, of which J. Joseph Estabrook is
Chairman, has planned to give this subject
strong emphasis and has asked Mr. Butler to
arrange for at least throe speakers of promi-
nence, presumably from outside of the trade,
to give emphasis to this important point. Mr.
Butiler, as explained in the communication
printed in the Publishers' Weekly of March
4th, believes that the book-trade should make
this subject a really national issue, and should
come to the Convention prepared to throw all
the weight at its command to strengthening the
hands of those who are trying to get a price
maintenance bill thru Congress.

The Program Committee hopes shortly to
announce all the features of the Convention.
For the meeting on Wednesday morning the
topic is to be "The Wrongs and the Rights of
It." The booksellers are asked to send to Mr.
EstaJbrook, care of Hochschild, Kohn & Com-
pany, Howard and Lexington Streets, Balti-
more, Md., letters of comment or complaint
on book-trade conditions that they would like
to have brought up and discussed at the Con-
vention.' This will give the opportimity for a
general discussion of bookselling success and
bookselling handicaps and should lead to most
helpful and interesting debate from the floor.

President Herr has been in special confer-
ence with both the Committee on Program and
the Committee on Entertainment at Washing-
ton, and the final details have been gone over.

Longmans Open in Canada

LONGMANS, GREEN & COMPANY will
open shortly after April 15th a Canadian
branch at 210 Victoria Street, Toronto. Theo-
dore F. Pike, who has been for some time sales
manager in the trade department in New York,
is to be in charge of the office.

How Maps and Atlases Are Made

By Alfred Sidney Johnson, Ph.D.

Map Department, Rand McNally & Co , Chicago, 111.
PART II.

A UNIQUE method of surveying, which
dispenses entirely with the necessity for
field notes and eliminates the great labor
of computation, consists in the use of the
plane-table. This method has been developed
chiefly in America, and is used especially for
mapping the out-lines and prominent features
of coastal lands and other water-fronts.
Nature herself is the model from which the
maps are drawn directly in the field. By
reproduction of the drawings thus obtained,
supplemented by such hydrographic or other
details as may be desired, the publication of
completely finished maps and charts is greatly
hastened and facilitated.

The equipment of the surveying party com-
prises: (i) A plane-table, whose top, resting
on a "movement" on a tripod, is adjustable
to perfect level, and ds revolvable horizontally
so as to give any desired change of direc-
tion of lines of drawing; (2) an alidade — a
telescope wiith movement only in a vertical
arc, mounted in perfect alignment with the
long, narrow, metal straight-edge on which
its standard rests, and having in its eye-piece
several cross-hairs whose distance apart, as
observed, exactly subtends a certain height at
a certain distance; (3) stadia or telemeter
rods, on which are painted divisions of such
size that the number of them observed be-
tween the cross-hairs of the telescope indi-
cates with surprising accuracy the distance of

the rod from the observer; (4) a drawing
sheet called a projection, Avhich is clamped to
the table top, and on which meridians and
parallels have been drawn to a certain scale,
and the triangulation stations or other s-ig-
nals previously located have been plotted in
their correct geographic positions; (5) a
rule or measure marked with scale divisions,
for taking off measured distances according
to scale.

The plane-table is set up over the starting-
point, its north and south in exact accord
with the north and south of the corrected
compass, and is carefully adjusted, or "ori-
ented," so that the triangulation stations on
the sheet are in precisely the same directions
from one another as the actual signals over
the real stations on the ground. The draw-
ing then begins.

With straight-edge of the alidade in con-
tact with point on siheet marking where the
table is set up, a sight is taken on the stadia
rod held upright at a point some distance
away. If a line is then drawn along the
straight-edge, this line will show the direc-
tion of the rod from the observer's station,,
and the position of the rod will be §it some
point along that line. The distance is ascer-
tained by counting the divisions on the stadia
rod as observed between the cross-ihairs of
the telescope. Let it be, say, 50 meters ; and
the scale of the map, i to 20,000. This dis-

April 15, 1922

1 103

tance of 50 meters, reduced 20,000 times, is
taken directly off the scale with a pair of
dividers, and is laid off by marking a point
on the sheet along the line of directsion as
shown by the straight-edge. In a similar
way, other points are successively observed as
to direction and distance, and are marked on
the sheet, the stadia man following the shore-
line and stopping at every important bend.
When the rod can no longer be read, or is
hidden by a bend of the shore or by other
intervening obstacles, the plane-table is moved,
^nd set up over the position of the rod last
observed. From this new station the work
proceeds as before. The successdve positions
of the rod as the stadia man follows the
winding of the shore are all carefully plotted ;
and when the points indicating these positions
on the siheet are connected, the resulting out-
hne drawing gives a reduced facsimile of the
coast-line, accurate as to distance, direction,
and contour. This is the elementary essen-
tial of plane-table work.

Hydrographic Work
Sometimes the surveys are carried inland,
showing posiition of buildings, woods, roads,
and other important features. Often these
positions can be located and plotted in exactly
the same way as along shore. Sometimes,
however, the work is complicated by the ne-
cessity of running traverse lines when no sig-
nal is in sight, the orientation of the table
beiing checked by such signal when one comes
into view. Or it may be necessary, in difficult
country, to erect a temporary signal in sight
of the permanent signals and visible from
i where the work is to be done. In this case, the
I errors due to tentative guesswork in plotting
the unknown istation of the observer may
have to be eliminated by working out what
is known as the "three-point problem." The
closing lines of the attempted orientation, in-
stead of meeting at the point tentatively
marked upon the sheet, may form a triangle
around it. Two or three trials, however,
usually suffice to locate the observer's sta-
tion with great accuracy; anl wnrk is then
carried on from this temporary signal point
ju-st as if it were a permanent triangulation
station.

When supplemented with the results ot
a hydrographic survey off shore, the land
map becomes a chart. In this work, the
; boat or launch is moved along courses
* systematically laid out. Many soundings
( with the lead are taken, to determine the
I depth of water. The position of each sound-
ing is located by sighting with sextants upon
■ the signals marking established triangulation
f points on land or off shore ; and each point.
j wflth record of the depth, as plotted in exact
relation to the shore-line and the triangulation

stations and other conspicuous objects. In
some cases, a zi'ire drag, consisting of a wire
wfhich is stretched between two launches,
sometimes as far as 4 to 5 miles apart, and
whrich is suspended at any desired uniform
depth from floats on the surface, is hauled
along on an even front, to sweep over the
survey area and detect the presence of dan-
gerous reefs or prominences that may have
escaped the sounding lead. All aids to navi-
gation (lights, buoys, etc.) as well as the
dangers, are also accurately plotted.

In this way the configuration of the sub-
marine bed is faithfully depicted and the
coast charted. The navigator, as he approaches
shore, locates hiis position from lights, buoys,
or other known points of observation, and
is thus enabled to avoid the lurking dangers
and bring his vessel safely into port.

To enable a reader to get from a map a true
picture of the actual surface configuration
of a region, to tell whether it is high or low,
rugged or gently undulating, grassy, wooded,
or rocky, sandy or marshy, etc., a variety of
conventional graphic symbols are employed.
In relief or physical maps, various colors, or
shades of the same color, or both (usually
brown for land and blue for water), indicate
relative elevations and depressions, the darker
shades showing the greater heights and depths,
and the moumtahi peaks being lef\t white
above the snow-line. On the ordinary small-
scale political maps most frequently seen in
books, heights are represented by the well-
known hachures or shade-lines indicating
mountain systems, ranges of hills, or isolated
peaks.

How Surface Configuration is Shown

On large-scale maps and charts, however,
these hachures have largely given way to the
I'T more useful contour lines, which not only
picttires the surface configuration, but also in-
dicate exact differences of elevation in terms
of some definite linear unit, such as the foot,
the meter, or the fathom. These contour lines,
when plotted for areas off shore, become
depth curves, consulted by the navigator, and,
like the contour lines on land, of great value
also for purposes of engineering construction.

A contour line on a map represents an
imagrinary, level line winding horizontally
along the surface of sloping ground, and con-
necting all points having the same elevation
above a selected plane, such as sea-level. It
represents, in fact, what the shoreline would
be if the water rose to the level indicated.
The ultimate datum level to which all con-
tours are referred is the plane of mean sea-
level ; but at convenient points thruout the
country, permanent hcnch-marks are placed at
oarefullv determined elevations to serve as

1 104

The Publishers' Weekly

datum levels from which local surveys can be
started.

Contour lines are drawn at some constant
vertical interval — 50 feet, for instance. The
steeper the incline, therefore, the closer they
lie together as projected on the map. The
varied shading thus given to the uplands as
the lines are drawn closer or farther apart,
reveals a true picture of the actual configura-
tion.

The foregoing is little more than a hint of
the complex details of work involved in gath-
ering the fundamental "raw material" on the
basis of which geographic maps are drawn.
The field mai>s, with, all notes, records,
sketches-, photograpihs and other data, are sent
to the office or department, and pass to the
scrutiny of the cartographer. It is upon him
that the final drawing of the map and filling-
in of all desired details for publication
devolves.

Present Status of National Topographic
Work

This brings us really to the door of the
publishing house, where we may well stop
to breathe. Further progress would involve
discussion of a multiplicity of complicated
problems — among them that of projection, by
which regions on the spheroidal curved sur-
face of the earth can be represented on a
flat surface without any very material sacri-
fice of accuracy as to shape or indicated area.
It would embrace also the arts of the en-
graver, litographer and printer, including de-
tails of making the metal printing plates by
photo-etchiing, wax-engravinjg, eledtrotyping,
and other processes ; of printing by direct im-
pressiion or by offset ; of color printing ; of
making patches in plates where, as is often
the case, it is necessary to eliminate, to alter,
or to make insertions ; of compiling descrip-
tive and statistical data; of keeping abreast
of the political, territorial, industrial, com-
mercial and even physical changes in a restless
and rapidly changing world ; and of other
phases of geographical publishing none of
whose intricate details are revealed in the
apparently artless and simple finished product
as seen on the printed page.

Almost all phases of progress in our na-
tional development are largely dependent on the
possession of reliable topographic maps. At
the present time, however, only a little over
one-third of the area of continental United
States (exclusive of Alaska) has been ade-
quately mapped for general utility purposes.
At the present rate of progress, covering
about I per cent of the total area yearly, it
would take about 60 years to complete the
work. When it is fimished, a 'bas"c horizontal
and vertical control will have been established

l>y permanently marking at least one accurately
surveyed position and elevation at a distance
not exceeding 50 miles from any point in the
country. In January, 1922, a bill was intro-
duced lin Congress, authorizing the President
to have the work completed within 20 years.
(To be continued April 22)

To Know Good Books from Bad

ASKED by a correspondent what books of
literary criticism would help him to under-
stand the chief mark of good literature, to
detect what is good and what is bad and to
cultivate himself to read with deep, critical in-
sight. May Lamberton Becker recommended the
following course:

"I know of no book that does more towards
these results than a slender one, scarce more
than pocket size, W. C. Brownell's 'Criticism'
Scribner. It is divided into sections on field
and function, equipment, criterion and method,
and holds a course between old and new. Then
I would read with care Joel Spingarn's 'Cre-
ative Criticism' Holt, a group of inspiring and
provocative studies, including one on dramatic
criticism; and the last chapter of Professor
Gertrude Buck's 'Social Criticism of Literature'
Yale Press on the function of the critic; all
the book is good, but this part is especially
pertinent. Then read Van \Vyck Brooks's 'Let-
ters and Leadership' Hucbsch. Then get 'A
Modern Book of Criticism,' a volume in Boni
& Liveright's Modern Library edited by Lud-
wig Lewisohn, and see how these well-chosen
examples of present-day criticism approach
their subjects and deal with them. I think you
will be set further on j^Our way by some such
fl)roceeding as this than by the study of a con-
A-entional text-book. If, however, you wish to
begin with the details of style and composition,
and it may be well not to take too much for
granted^ read C. S. Baldwin's 'Composition :
Oral and Written' Longmans, which is good
to clarify judgment as expression,''

The Spirit of Spring in Books

VIEW OF MAIN AISLE OF MARSHALL FIELD AND COMPANY S BOOK DEPARTMENT
DURING THE NATURE EXHIBIT

Ai\ unusual idea in the selling of Outdoor
books, of particular interest to the book-
seller, was inaugurated this month at
Marshall l^eld & Company by Mrs. Marcella
Burns-Hahner, when the Book Section was
converted into a garden exhibition represent-
ing the "Spirit of Spring in Books."

The entire department was changed into a
very attractive and alluring garden with boxed
flowers and hanging rose vines lining the aisles,
while special boioths were decorated with large
color plates of gardens and country homes.
The exhibition, which lasted two weeks,
brought throngs of nature lovers and added
zest to city dwellers who were planning their
summer activities. Lectures by recognized
authorities on the out-doors, .supplemented the
exhibition and proved very informing to the
])u1)lic which gathered to hear them.

In the garden exhibition Mrs. Hahncr has
shown the practical results that are to be ob-
tained by displaying out-of-door books amid
I natural setting of flowers and birds. The
:>uh)ic, during the entire period of the exhi-

bition, was delighted with the atmosphere of
the biook department, and the results from the
point of view of sales were entirely satis-
factory.

In the matter of arrangement, the main aisle
held the center of the stage. The tables along
the aisle and adjoining it were devoted to the
display of 'books having to do with every form
of out-door activity imaginable, including
birds, agriculture, vegetalble gardens, wild flow-
ers and garden flowers, natural thistory. land-
scape gardening and porch furnishing, fishing,
golf and sports, home building, trees and
shrubs and dogs. In the center of each table
boxed plants, tulips and hydrangeas formed
the centerpiece about which the books were
neatly arranged. Situated in their proper
places and adding a very interesting touch
were mounted birds representing many species
of the middle west.

The posts along the aisle were surmounted
with hanging rambler rose vines below which,
in a convenient position, were hung glass cases
showing bird life in the natural habitat. These

iio6

cases were loaned to the store by the N. W.
Harris Public School Extension of the Field
Museum of Chicago. The interesting phases
of bird life shown in these cases, besides be-
ing educational, were a continual source of de-
light to the children.

Located in the center aisle also were the va-
rious ibooths rep<resenting garden and out-of-
door magazines. The sides were hung with
colorful paintings which were originally re-
produced in the magazines. Subscriptions were
taken by the young ladies in charge of the
booths. The magazines represented were Coun-
try Life, House Beautiful, House and Gar-
den, Golfer, Garden Magazine, Chicago Gol-
fer, American Golfer and Architecture.

At the end of the aisle, in an alcove, lec-
tures and various forms of entertainment were
held. The first three days were devoted to
practical talks on the arrangement of floral
decorations about the house and lawn and were
delivered by Le;onard Barron, editor of Gar-
den Magazine. The talks were illustrated by
beautiful views of the gardens and lawns at
Garden City, N. Y. Saturday afternoon fol-
lowing, Herbert Quick, author of "Vande-
mark's Folly," delivered an interesting talk on
"Where Farming is All Gardening" in which
he told of the achievements of the Japanese
gardeners and farmers. After the talk Mr.
Quick autographed his book for hundreds of
his readers. Another interesting speaker was
Dixie Carroll, the famous authority on fish-
ing, who chatted informally with many who
were interested in the ancient art of Izaak Wal-
ton. The second week of the exhibition was

devoted entirely to birds and wild flowers, and
special attractions were arranged of interest to
boys and girls.

The garden exihibition lasted from April 3-15,
and has proved so successful that Airs. Hahner
intends to repeat it on an even more elaborate
scale next year.

The Honorary Fellowship of Booksellers

THE ballots are just being put in the mail
to the members of the American Book-
sellers' Association for the vote for five
additional names for the Honorary Fellowship
of American Bboksellers established last year.
Under the conditions of the Fellowship, five
names are to be added to the roll each year,
unless the number be changed by vote of the
Executive Committee, and the vote for these
five shall -be following on nominations which
may be sent in by any member of the book-
trade. The request for nominations asked for
a bnief account of the business career of the
nominee and some comment on the outstanding
characteristics of his or her bookselling knowl-
edge and ability which had suggested the
nomination.

Sixteen names were sent in this year, and
the data and comments have been condensed
into brief paragraphs to be included on the
ballot. Those elected last year were Charles

E. Butler, George W\ Jacobs, William Harris
Arnold, J. K. Gill and Joseph M. Jennings.-
It is obvious that nio list of nominations which
depends on the initiative of widely scattered
people can fully or adequately represent all
the names which might most appropriately be
suggested for the, honor. Many booksellers
fail to send in nominations, thinking that the
name which they have in mind is obviously
one that someone else will think of, l>ut, if
everyone makes the same decision, that name
is bound to be omitted. The list, however,
of sixteen is one of undoubted distinction and
will give the voters much pause before they
will select those for whom they will vote.

In limiting the additions each year to five,
the Association had in mind that there can be
no possible stigma in being omitted in a list
so gradually built up, and, as years go by, the
Association willl have the opportunity to honor
all of those who have done credit to the pro-

) fession by their knowledge of the industry.
The names are not restricted to members of
the Association, nor to any one type of book-
selling, and it will be seen that the list this
time includes such veterans in the general book
store field as Alexander M. Robinson, C. C.
Parker, Charles A. Burkhardt, Walter Lewis,
William L. Wilson and Davis L. James; lead-
ers in department store bookselling such as
Marcella Burns-Hahner, Leonard H. Wells, or
Fred E. Woodward; specialists in rare books
such as James F. Drake, Charles E. Goodspeed
or E. Byrne Hackett ; a representative of the
small bookshop field in George M. L. Brown ;
and younger men in the field of general book-
selling such as Harry V. Korner, Louis A.
Keating and Sidney Avery.

The ballots are to he returned to the Chair-
man of the Fellowship Committee, care of the
Publishers' Weekly, 62 West 45th Street,
New York, and the results of elections
will be announced at the annual Convention in
Washington in May. The parchments which

A New Slant to Fame's Literary Ladder

Modern Critics Readjust It to 1922 Standards

IN an attempt to acquaint the American read-
ing public with the newer critical standards

that have recenth- come into vogue. Vanity
Fair in its April issue prints in tabular form
the opinions of ten prominent critics regarding
fame's position in the realm of life and let-
ters. To obtain this (information, the maga-
zine submitted to each of the select ten a rep-
resentative list of names that included every
one dn and out of the chronicles of history,
from Aristotle to Jack Dempsey. Each critic
was asked to grade the names according to
his likes and dislikes, giving to each its abso-
lute value in a scale ranging between plus 25
and minus 25.

While results in some linstances were start-
ling, a glance at the list of judges makes one
wonder why they weren't even more so. For
the critics are modern of the modems : Hey-
wood Broun of the World, Henry McBride,
art critic of the Sun, the exclusive H. L.
Mencken and George Jean Nathan of Smart
Set, Burton Rascoe of the Tribune, Gilbert
Seldes, editor of the Dial, Deems Taylor,
musical cr^itic of the World, Paul Rosenfeld,
Edmund Wilson, Jr., and Willard Huntington
Wright ; yet thdir opinions iin mosit cases
are quite as obvious and conventional as those
of any 18th century critic, which only goes
to show that fame isn't as temporary and
ephemeral as one sometimes is led to believe.

View, for example, the ratings of literary

liions included on the list. Shakespeare leads
with a count of 22.4 points and is followed
by Gloethe, Anatole France, Nietzsche, Flaubert,
Plato, Voltaire. Aristotle. It's only when one
goes further m the list and sees that Ring
Lardner is classed between John Stuart Mill
and William James or somewhat above Victor
Hugo, Hawthorne and Benjamin Frankldn;
that Tennyson ranks below Loui^ Untermeyer;
that Eugene O'Neill outranks Edmond Ros-
tand, and F. Scott Fitzgerald surmounts
O. Henry, that one begins to question the
validity oi these ratings.

We print below the list of authors with
their respective ratings. As an additional bit.
it is interesting to see how the various critics
react to dlifferent names : Sara Teasdale. for
instance, evoked a 2 from Broun, o from
McBride. 8 from Mencken, 5 from Nathan,
— 25 from Roscoe, — i from Rosenfeld. o from
Seldes, 2 from Taylor, 3 from Wilson and
o from Wright, making her average — 6. In
contrast to her, the classic Sappho scored 25
from Nathan, 25 from Roscoe. 6 from Rosen-
feld, 7 from Seldes, 23 from Taylor, 25 from
Wilson and 7 from Wright, which brought
her average up to 11.8. Heywood Broun,
in his rating of authorsi, gives George Ber-
nard Shaw first place with a score of 23
(points, and Coningsby Dawson ranks lowest
with — 31. Broun, it seems, takes peailiar joy
in putting zero marks after many of the

Useful Window Display

A FINE window diisplay to help along
bookselling has been selected for Physical
Culture Week and made ready to send to any
bookseller who may apply. This week, the slo-
gan for which is "To Build A Stronger Nation,"
has been started by the Physical Culture
Magajjinc. The publicity makes no special
reference to the magazine nor to its own
particular books. The material for display
should be ordered from the National Physical
Culture Week Committee, 119 West 40th
Street, New York. It -consists of a broad
streamer in three colors which reads,

"To Build a Stronger Nation Live Wire
Folks Read— Physical Culture Books"

and here are two streamers to go down
each side of the window. In New York, the
committee has taken the big auditortum of
the Town Hall for May ist. v/here there will
be important addresses on the subject.

Programs for Women's Clubs

A SPECIAL service to literary clubs in the
*«• development of their programs is to be a

feature developed by the Bookman, and the
first article on the subject is in the April num-
ber written by May Lamberton Becker, well-
known for her contributions to the Literary
Revieiv. Commencing with the August number,
the Bookman, plans to print a series of club
programs,, these programs to be supplemented
by essays and bibliographies on the subjects
involved. Various other magazines are ex-
pected to co-operate in publishing correlated
articles.

The selection of the topics will be made
by a board of advice now being formed, in-
cl,uding representatives from many literary
groups such as Mary Austin, Hamlin Garland,
Carl Van Doren, Kenneth McGowan, Burton
Rascoe. William Lyon Phelps, etc. There will
also be facilities for answering questions. This
development will be an important one for the
book-trade and library world to keep in touch
with, as it wtill provide a long needed service
and bring demands for many books. The
adoption of such a program in any city means
that there will he many books called for by
the different members of the club.

Well Edited English Authors

piCHARD CURLE, in an article in the
•I \ March number of the Bookman's Journal
lists a number of English authors who have
been really well-edited. In the article, he
says : "To gather together a library of the best
editions, not necessarily the most expensive,
but the best edited and the most complete, is
a commendable aim and one which appeals to
many a ibooklover. I shall keep strictly within
the limits of my title and only mention cer-
tain writers who have been really well-ed!ited.
The best edition of an author may be bad,
indeed, often is bad, and moreover plenty of
authors have been collected in complete and
expensive sets who have never been edited in
any real sense." The list of editions, Mr.
Curie gives as:

Revival of Essay Reading

u A LONDON bookseller reports that there
-**• is a revival in essay books," says the
Book Post. "His sales of such works have
increased over one hundred and fifty per cent
since 1918. He attributes the cause partly to
the format of the essay volume. It looks ap-
petising and is durable.' he says."

Bon Voyage Book Boxes

A WELL planned effort to get wider attention
-^^to the advantage of books as gifts at the
time of steamer sailings is shown in an attrac-
tive circular issued by Brentano's. They are
advertising boxes at five, ten, fifteen or twenty
dollars to be delivered at any steamer, these
boxes to be made up of an assortment of read-
ing matter selected by them or by the purchaser
and to include books or periodicals. The prices
are based on the regular retail price of the
books, no extra charge being made for packing
or delivery. They are soliciting out-of-town
orders on the same basis and include delivery
to railroad depots and specified trains as well
as to steamers. In connection with this cam-
paign, they have trade-marked the phrase of
"Bon Voyage" as applied to books and are link-
ing up with this a paraphrase of the florists'
slogan, "Say It With Books."

Another Cooperative Campaign

YJ^ HILE the book-trade has been busy, both
^f^ in this country and in others, analyzing
its efficiency as a distributing organization,
other industrdes have been taking account of
the times, and examination of the findings make
their way into print. The piano industry has
recently been making a cooperative study of
conditions, and it is found that, while nearly
300,000 were manufactured in 1913, only 135,000
pianos and player pianos were sold in 1921. The
manufacturers point out that this means that
there is only i useable piano or player piano
for every 90 of the population, while it has
been estimated that there as an automobile for
every 7 population. The Committee of the
National Piano Manufacturers is working on
a plan for advertising, and expects to use ari
initial fund of $250,000, if all the manufac-
turers can be (interested in the project. They
will make their objective double the present
piano sales, which at that would only bring
them back to 1913 conditions.

Books in Demand at the Public
Library

TTHE Bookman has for a number of years
* printed every month lists of the most
popular books at the public library for the
month, two months previous to the magazine's
date. These lists, until the last issue, have been
classified by districts of the country, western
states, South Atlantic States, etc., and then the
average made. In the April issue, these sec-
tional notes have been eliminated, and only
the favorites ifom the whole country given.
Twelve books are now listed instead of six,
and the list is more attractively presented.
This list is an excellent supplement to the list
of best sellers reprinted from Book of the
Month which lasts the best sellers in the month
preceding its date of issue.

The April number of the Bookman shows
that the following were the most popuJar books
at the public libraries during the month of Feb-
ruarv :

An Vncoxrected CaWeyf

"FIND IT IN BOOKS"
By Edward Anthony

(Adapted from a conversation overheard in
the subzvay.)

"You gotta hand it to him, Phil.
He kept on readin' books until
He got wii'sed up on everything.
Y'oughta hear how he can sling
The dope-^eal dope about the war,
An' stuff about 'the open door,'
.An' tariff info and the like.
He knows a lot, old burrowin' Ike."

"You said it, Al, old Ike is there.

Us dumbbells gotta take the air

When Ike starts reelin' off the facts

On history stuff like bills and acts;

(The on'y acts I know are those

A feller sees in vaudeville shows.)

And when he quotes the potes of fame.

I gotta hang my head for shame.

Ben Jonson (not Ban Johnson, pal),

Lord Byron (not the umpire, Al),

And Burns and Kelley (I mean Shelley),

He laps up like strawberry jelly.

And novels by this Dickens scout

He reads as fast as they come out.

There ain't a think Ike hasn't read.

It ain't no wonder he's ahead

Of you an' me on information.

IVc never had no education."

"You gotta give him credit, Phil.
He did it of his own free will.
We could 'a' done the same if we
Was willin', feller. Don't you see?"

"Somethiio' in that. But, Pete, old kid,
I wouldn't pay the price he did.
Since he's been readin' he wears glasses.
I see hiim mornings when he passes,
And all the time they're on his face.
Id rather not be smart in case
I had to read and read till I
Became an eyeglass wearin' guy.
Specs are all right, but as for me
I wanna keep my eyesight. See?"

"Well, he ain't blind exactly, Phil.

He didn't pay so big a bill

For what he knows. And what he knows

Is worth a lot o' jack. Suppose

That you an' me was wise as he? —

It wouldn't be a bad idee!

We might be drawin' better wages.

To-night I'll read a dozen pages."

"Somethin' in that. That's how old Ike
Got there, but, honest, I don't like

No glasses ; when you start to read
Your eyes are sure to go to seed."

''Maybe you're right. In fact, I think
You are. I'd rather be a gink
Without no dope on litrachoor
Than read until my eyesight's poor."

"That's what I'm sayfin'. I don't care
For books, I want the open air."

"Me, too. When all is said and done
Readiin' ain't such a lotta fun."

"Yep ! — tho it makes a feller smart
If he remembers it by heart."

"Yeah, but let others break their necks
For learnin.' I zvon't wear no specs."

"That's what I say. Do you suppose
I'd stand for glasses on my nose?"

(For proper effect, repeat zvhole pome
eight or ninr times."

— Nezv York Herald.

SPEAKING OF OPERATIONS

It hardly means a moment's pain;

You will be glad that you have acted ;
You won't be sensible nor sane

Until you have the thing extracted.

With teeth or adenoids there's doubt ;

One may have tonsils and be healthy ;
But till you get your novel out

You can't be well nor wise nor wealthy.

It m.iy not be a novel yet.
But publishers have information

That there's at least a novelette
In all the younger generation.
— ^Keith Preston in the Chicago Daily Nezvs.

TO A LADY BOOKSELLER

A Lady with a soft-toned, friendly voice
Presides with easy, admirable grace
O'er the alluring quaintness of the place
And placidly assists me in my choice.
My loves are various as Nature's green
(Among them are a grande dame, eighty-five;
A youthful widow, very much alive;
A fascinating flapper, seventeen.)
To keep the love of each, I send a book.
And my selection must be apt and true;
So oft I ponder that the praise should go
Where it is most — if not entirely — due:
Due not to me, who waver as I look.
But— I^dv at the Sunwii;se Turn— to you!

York Evening Post.

Current Clippings

|, GusTAV Frenssen, the German novelist, is
about to sail for New York to convey the
thanks of Germany for American financial and
good relief.

''The Home Radio How to Make It and Use
It" by A. Hyatt Verrill, the first book of its
kind in the market, is already in its second
large edition. Harpers announce that the first
edition was exhausted on the publication day.

Hamilton Fyfe, author of "The Widow's
Cruse," published by Thomes Seltzer, has been
until recently one of the leading lights of the
Northcliffe press. Mr. Fyfe has an estab-
lished literary reputation in England and is the
author of an excellent book on Mexico.

Sir GERALD Du MAURiER has left the cast of
"Bull Dog Drummond" and has returned to
England to take part in the production of Mac-
donald Hastings' dramatic version of ''If Win-
ter Comes." Cyril Maude has obtained the
American rights of the play.

"Yellow Clover/' a volume of poems by
Katharine Lee Bates, which Button will pub-
lish the first of Aipril, is addressed to Katha-
rine Coman. Miss Coman was for many years
a professor in Wellesley College and author
of such well-known biooks. as "Industrial His-
tory of the United States," and "Economic Be-
ginnings of the Far West."

For the first time in its history of nearly
forty years, the Authors' Club gave a dinner
recently in honor of a woman — Mrs. Dorothy
Canfield Fisher, author of "The Squirrel Cage,"
"The B'ent Twig," "The Brimming Cup" and
other novels. Mrs. Fisher is the daughter of
the late Dr. James Hulme Canfield, who was
a member of the Authors' Club, and for years
librarian of Columbia University.

Hendrik Van Lx)0N, author of "The Story
of Mankind." has not only completed a story of
United States History, which is now run-
ning serially in many newspapers, but, accord-
ing to an interview granted to the New York
World, intends to write a story of the Bible for
young people. Dr. Van Loon believes that
seventy-five per-cent of our children do not
attend any Sunday School and that at least
eighty per cent of them never read the Bible
and know little al)out it except the occasional
bints thev receive in the movies.

A BOX containing ten manuscripts of Dos-
toievsky has been discovered. The documents
are tb be published as soon as possible.

Joseph Pennell in a lecture for the Au-
thors' League Fund recently said :

"American magazines are the worst thing
printed on the face of God's earth. They're
a disgrace to civilization. A man from India
told me that if they had such magazines there
America would send missionaries to convert
the heathen."

It has been decided that all seniors at Har-
vard except those concentrating in mathematics
and the natural sciences will be required to
take general examinations in May. The man
whose major work is in English literature
must pass two three-hour written tests, one on
English literature and the other on the Bible,
the works of Shakespeare, and those of two
selected classical authors.

The Canadian market has two translations
of "Maria Chapdelaine," the French story of
Quebec woods that has attracted such wide at-
tention. The Macmillan translation is by W.
H. Blake and issued by the Macmillan Com-
pany in London, Toronto and New York. The
translation by Sir Andrew McPhail is pub-
lished by A. T. Chapman, the well known book-
seller of Montreal and also has the imprint ol
the Oxford University Press, Toronto and of
John Lane, London. Thiis volume is in paper
covers and has besides the imprint of John
Lane Company, New York, but Dodd, Mead
& Company report that no arrangement for it
was made. It is illustrated by M. A. Suzor-
Cote.

Jean Catel, the French poet, who has done
a great deal for American poetry in France,
recently wrote concerning Robert Frost :

"Here at the University of Montpellier we
are going to study Frost as a poet together
with recognized writers such as Shakespeare,
Milton, Thackeray, etc. ... I hope Frost may
know that we are a certain number of people
here greatly interested in American poetry.
You may have seen my personal appreciation
of your contemporary literature in the Mcr-
cure de France, where I introduced Frost to
the French public in the number of March 15th,
1920. . . ."

And the Sorbonne has announced that Rob-
ert Frost's works are now a requirement in
the English Teachers' Course at the institu-
tion.

America and Britain as Book
Markets

A LONDON correspondent of the Scots-
^^^ man writes as follows of "America as a
Market" :

An American publisher now in London tells
me that altho the number of native authors
in the States with big reputations has in-
creased enormously within the last ten years,
it is still possible ior British authors to create
records. He named half-a-dozen authors
whose sales in America exceed a hundred
thousand copies a novel. Ethel M. Dell, he
estimated, more than surpassed that number,
E. M. Hull's "The Sheik," has gone into sev-
enty reprints in twelve months, and Mr.
Hutchinson's "H Winter Comes." has already
sold 300,000 copies, and has probably exceeded
the record of "Main Street," the book by
the Americain ai^l^iar, S'inclair Lewis, that
was claimed as last year's "best seller" in the
States. In comparison the sales of American
authors in Great Britain, tho considerable, are
often insignificant, even in the case of such
authors as Gene Stratton-Porter, Zane Grey,
and Booth Tarkington, all of whom have
large followings over here. America is be-
coming more and more the great book market
of the Engliish-speaking world, and of the
nineteen "best sellers" in the States last year,
seven were books of English authors. "Mir-
rors of Washington" and H. G. Wells's '^Out-
line of History" were two of the most promi-
nent in the field of general literature.

The sales of American authors in Great
Britain, says the editor of Publishers Circu-
lar, are not so insignificant as the writer
seems to indicate. There are two factors to
consider: The immensely greater population
of the United States and their good habit
of ibuyting books and leaning less on the cir-
culating library. This explains the best seller !
American ibooks here are often lost in a
series, and sometimes fail to be discovered.
In the case of Gene Stratton-Porter the sale
of something like ten millions of her books
in the United Kingdom and United States is
a triumph of personality, and not of adver-
tising, as her books have made their own way,
because they have what many United States
writers possess — rfreshness and charm, and are
clean and wholesome — what every best seller
is far from being. There are three quite re-
markable American books in that section of
Dent's Wayfarers' Library which have not
been discovered as yet by the British reader.
These are "The Root of Evil," by Thomas

■Ipril 15, 1922

1119

Dixon; '"Martha of the Mennonite Country,"
and "Those Fitzenbergera," both by Helen
R. Martin. In Heinemann's list all the books
of E. . H. Abbott, such as "Molly Make-Be-
lieve," and "Love and Mrs. Kendrue," are
charming, whimsical and humorous. There
is an inherent force and freshness about much
that we have had -from the States which
makes a very universal appeal.

About 50 years ago. Low's copyright series
of American authors comprised titles by Bay-
ard Taylor, Louisa Alcott, J. G. Holland,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, and many others, and
did a great and good work in introducing
readers to these authors. Ward & Lock made
a feature of American authors in their Lily
series; so did David Douglas in his admir-
able little volumes, and Nelson, Hodder &
Stoughton, and others add volume after vol-
ume to their various series. Mark Twain,
Bret Harte and Artemus Ward found their
own public, as writers of outstanding talent
and individuality generally do.

The Bible and the Newspaper
Man

OLIN W. KENNEDY, managing editor of
the Miami (Fla.) Herald, addressing a
Men's Bible Class stated that contrary to gen-
eral opinion the Bible was the most thumbed
hook in a newspaper office. Rarely a day
passes without reference being made to the
Bible by men in every department of a news-
paper, he said.

A Program for ReUgious Reading

AMONG the many special pamphlets that
were planned in connection with Re-
ligious Book Week was a list published by the
Judson Press and sent broadcast to churches
and Sunday School workers. In connection
with this list of books, the Judson Press
emphasized the following program which it
recommended the church to adopt in connection
with reading:

1. Seek to create a reading conscience
among church workers.

2. Let the leaders set a good example in
this.

3. Have at least one sermon on reading
in the church every year.

4. Observe a book day each year in the Sun-
day School.

5. Use books in connection with all teach-
ing in the church school.

6. Provide a graded library for pupils and
teachers and superintendents.

7. Advertise these books.

Books on Housekeeping

WHILE the book-trade has already given a
great deal of special emphasis to books for
the home during March, there has developed
a second emphasis on this subject due to a cam-
paign being conducted by Good Housekeeping
magazine. From April 20th to 27th it is to
carry large display advertisements in a hun-
dred newspapers, emphasizing the general sub-
ject of good, housekeeping. This is a plan that
was first developed last year.

The advertisements will include educational
copy on the general subjects of cooking, inter-
ior decorating, etc. Booksellers who carry maga-
zines and others will find this an opportunity
to display books in this field, as the large dis-
play advertising is likely to attract consider-
able attention.

When Authorities Disagree

AS the subject of book censorship is coming
more prominently to the front, the fact
that there is bound tO' ibe very radical disagree-
ment among those who might be considered
to have very common interest is bound to be
emphasized. One of the travelers for Bobbs-
Merrill Company was surprised to find that
"Vandemank's Folly" had been taken off the
open shelves of the Youngstown, Ohio, Public
Library as not baing regarded as a proper
book for young people. As a contrast to this,
among the comments quoted in the publisher's
promotion of the book is one from Professor
Raymond M. Alden, of Leland Stanford Uni-
versity, which says : "I have found 'Vande-
mark's Folly' captivating. The history ot the
prairie settlement is made more human than in
anything I remember to have read ; on this
account I am calling the ibook to the attention
of my colleagues in history, thinking they will

I The official announcement has been made
jthat Henry E. Huntington will give his fa-

mous library and art collection to the public,
together with a building especially designed
to contain them and funds sufficient to
support and keep them intact for all time.
Altho the library will ibe thrown open to the
pu'blic within a few months, the art treasures
will not be turned over until after the death
of Mr. and Mrs. Huntington. The library
has been estimated to have cost $10,000,000.

A very novel exhibition was recently held
at the Weyhe Galleries. It consisted of orig-
inal drawings and repi'oductions of old and
modern masters, and visitors were invited to
pick out which were originals and which re-
productions. A prize for every one, even
experts, was ofi:ered to those who guessed by
whora the drawings were made. The object
of the exhibition was to emphasize the excel-
lence of modern reproductions of drawings,
especially those of the Marees Society. The
exhibition surprised many old artists who were
apparently not aware of the perfection oi
modern reproductions.

A two session sale of first editions of mod-
ern authors collected by William Macpherson
of Vancouver, B. C, with additions, will be
sold by the Anderson Galleries April 17 and

The Publishers' Weekly

i8. Tihere are important collections of the
first editions of Conrad, Hewlett, Masefield,
Kipling, Meredith, George Moore, Stevenson
and others. There is also a series oi letters
written by Kipling and the original manu-
script of the last story of O. Henry, left un-
finished and the last sentence half completed.
Accompanying the manuscript is the remainder
of the half-used pad of the author's favorite
manila paper. Another interesting association
item is Whistler's "Algebra" which he used
when a student at the West Point Military
Academy. Laid in are several sheets of exam-
ples on blue and white paper as they were
worked out in class, or in his rooms.

Thoms & Eron, booksellers, have always
anade a specialty of fine standard sets of mod-
em authors and many important libraries have
passed thru their hands since they have been
in business. The largest and most valuable
which they have ever bought, and one of the
most important that has come into the book
market this season, will be on view next week
at their book rooms at 34 Barclay Street. This
library was the property oi Arnold Thayer* of
this city and includes upwards of 200 sets in
the finest editions printed in this country and
England during the last thirty years. Here
are nearly all of the large paper editions of
the American authors published by the River-
side Press; the limited, large paper and Japan
paper editions of Scribners ; the whole series
of limited editions published by the Macmil-
lans; the finest limited editions of G. P. Put-
nam's Sons, including selections from the
Founders of the Republic Series; the large
paper and special limited editions of Little,
Brown & Co., and others. There are many
editions of English authors published in Eng-
land and always in the 'best editions. Nearly
all of the more important modern French
authors are represented by the best editions in
English translation. The library is nearly all
bound in calf or levant morocco, the American
editions bound by Stikeman, Macdonald, the
Knickerbocker and the Riverside Press Bind-
eries; the English, by Reviere, Birdsall, Bavn-
tun and Zaehnsdorf. The selections evidently
were made with the greatest care for they
include only the best with scarcely a trace
of the gaudy and superficial that so disfigured
the period. It will be a long time before manu-
facturing conditions will admit of the publica-
tion of such books again.

Price Standardization

THE SLOGAN OF THE WASHINGTON CONVENTION
What Every Merchant Needs

From Unanimoua Report to Congr€»8 by Federal Trade Commiasion, December 2nd, 1918

"The consuming public does not enjoy benelits by unfair price cutting to compensate it

for the injuries following demoralization caused by price cutting. This for the reason

that, in the long run, unrestrained price cutting tends to impair, if not to destroy, the

production and distribution of articles desirable to the public.

That unrestrained price cutting is not in the public interest.

Therefore, it is recommended that it ibe (provided by law that if the manufacturer of an

article produced and sold under competitive conditions, desiires to fix and maintain resale

prices, he shall file iwith an agency designated by the Congress, a description of such article,

the contract of sale and the price schedule which he proposes to maintain, etc., etc.

Such legislation would seem to be in accord with the sipirit of the times in that it is

designed, by removing this periplexity, to promote the efficiency of manufacturing and

commercial institutions and so to serve the interest of the consuming public."

The above recommendation is embodied in the Kelly Bill H R II, the passing of which

by Congress, would give us "Price Standardization."

TO ALL WHO SELL BOOKS
Let EVERYONE be an active unit for the Kelly Bill. Reprint the above and distribute
it to EVERY MERCHANT in your COMMUNITY, ASKING them in turn to DO the same. The

COST IS NOTHING. ThE OBJECT IS GREAT. GeT EVERYONE tO WRITE tO their MEMBERJ of

Congress to support and vote for the bill. Do it at once.

Having done this, come tO' the Convention in Washington, May 8, 9, 10, 11. Get your

reservations at the hotel without delay.

Making The House A Home

A Masterpiece in Prose
By EDGAR A. GUEST

The Poet that All America reads and Loves

^A wonderful story — one of the best things Edgar Guest ever wrote.
It shows that "the poet of the plain people" is just as much at home
writing prose as he is writing verse.

tjlt brings, to every father and mother the understanding that all the
joys, all the sorrows and all the struggles in life are but character
builders leading towards the goal we are all striving to reach, and
that it is only "A Heap o' Livin' in a House that makes it Home."
t[We believe MAKING THE HOUSE A HOME will l)c the biggest

WATCHERS OF
THE SKY

Here*s an entirely new idea in poetry — and by
a poet who really sells! Mr. Noyes takes the idea
that the great scientists, discoverers and inventors
are the torch bearers of the world, each receiving
the torch of learning and carrying it forward until
it must be passed to their successors. The work
is a trilogy under, the general title of THE
TORCH BEARERS and the volume now pub-
lished takes up the astronomers. In spirited nar-
rative verse, as beautiful and memorable as that of
**Tales of the Mermaid Tavern,'' the famous poet
tells of Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Newton — right
down to the moderns in the Lick Observatory. It
will delight and completely satisfy the regular
Noyes public and add a great number of en-
thusiasts to that already large group.

A story of adventure which appeals to the boy

If your customers enjoy excitement and danger and thrilling escapes; if
they like the intrigue of nations and the strife of men; if they thrill to

like a really top-notch story with action in every line, here is the book for

for it a wide circle of readers, for it appeals to youth as much as to

The Convention

THERE are many features about the Con-
vention of the Booksellers next month
that will make it one of the marked
gatherings in the history of the Association.
It was a happy choice, selecting Washington
for the gathering; it is the first time in its
twenty-two years of history that the meeting
has been at the national capitol. This will
give opportunity to emphasize the national char-
acter of the Association's work and will also
bring recognition from many of the prominent
figures of our government. The President has
promised to receive the delegates at the White
House, and Secretary Hoover will be one of
the speakers on "Price Standardization." The
national character of the gathering will aldo be
emphasized by the fact that the trade speakers
will be from all parts of the country, including
John T. Hotchkiss of J. K. Gill Company, Port-
land, Ore,; Gertrude Andrus of Frederick &
Nelson, Seattle, Wash.; Ward Macauley of
Detroit; William M. Norman of Baltimore;
and others not yet announced.

Owing to the fact that many trains into
Washington do not arrive until about noon,
Monday morning, May 8th, will be largely
given to registration and welcome, and the ad-
dress of the President is not scheduled until
two o'clock. To this will be added papers and
discussion on Tuesday morning, Tuesday after-
noon and Wednesday morning with an execu-
tive session on Wednesday afternoon followed
by a visit to the White House.

The Washington Committee, with Simon L.
' Nye as chairman, has indications that the at-
tendance is to be beyond all previous records, as
many are taking advantage of the special rates
to get to the national capitol.

This large attendance will give increased
weight to the discussions and should make all
the meetings and all the actions taken of great
weight in the future direction of book-trade
history. The last four years have seen a rapid

crescendo in interest in Association affairs, and
the Washington gathering bids fair to be the
right type of successor to the great conven-
tions of Boston, Philadelphia and Atlantic City.
Everyone owes it to the committee to make its
task as easy as possible by registering for rooms
early, by giving prompt attention to the program
and by bringing a new member.

Price Standardization
What Are You Doing For It?

'X'HERE are forty-five booksellers of
* the United States in as many states
singled out to do a great zvork. They
have been supplied with samples of
printed propaganda, with the request that
they duplicate some and distribute it to
all who sell books thruout their states,
that they also urge every merchant and
producer therein to write to the members
of Congress to work for and vote for
the Kelly Bill H. R. II.

One hundred booksellers of the State
of New Yorik in as many towns and
cities have been singled out to do a great
work along the same lines and for the
same purpose.

Every individual bookseller can do great
work and wait for no one's lead.

All get to work at once and report
results. The Washington Convention de-
mands your presence. Be sure to be
there.

Charles E. Butler,

Chairman of the Board of Trade of the
American Booksellers' Assbciation,
225 Fifth Avenue, New York.

Last Call for Members

THE Washington Booksellers' Convention
will make its greatest forward step if it
can sihow a good increase in the member-
ship of the Association. The Committee has
emphasized the need of members steadily during
the past year, and it now asks that each member
add a member during these three weeks. This
is little to ask considering the benefits that book-
sellers gain from having a united front to trade
problems. A bookseller does not need to be an
attendant at every convention to get value from
membership, but the coming of Convention time
will naturally increase the interest in organiza-
tion work, and the chance of having special rates
to the national capitol should bring many new

faces to the conference halls. These new
attendants should become new members, and
the new year should be faced with a very de-
cided increase in the roll call.

The Reviewing of Books

NOT since we remember has there l)een
so much discussion of literary criticism,
hook reviewing and general publicity.
There have been symposiums and essays on
the function of criticism, articles for and
against present book reviewing methods and
book reviewers, and more or less discussion on
publicity, its faults and foibles. Beyond doubt
this discussion comes from a consciousness of
the importance of book discussion, the impor-
tance to the auth.or and the importance to the
public. It goes hand in hand with a steady
effort to improve the book pages of newspapers
and periodicals. Some writers look at literary
criticism as iL" its chief function were that of
giving an opportunity to the critic for his
self-expression, as if lx)oks were written and
published as trees are planted and grown in
order that someone deft with a knife might
do a delicate carving on a cross section. No
doubt this use of the wood is justilied and
produces a work of art, but, after all, there
should be some praise of the tree. Some writ-
ers emphasized the importance of a review to
the author, pointing out that literature will
never thrive in days when criticism lacks
strength and virility. This point is undoubt-
edly well taken, tho the creative artist would
perhaps not be as willing to credit his growth
and development to the critic as the critic
might thmk he should be.

It may be a distinction without a difference,
but it seems as if the review in the general
magazine or reviewing medium ought to be
headed toward the audience and not toward
the author. The author may need help toward
planning his next book, but the audience which
is buying the review wants to have the present
book illuminated. He realizes that it can only
be shown thru the reflected light of the per-
sonality of the reviewer and accepts the re-
view in that way. Those critics and com-
mentors who have approached books with a
fres'hcr personal point of view have seemed
to give the readers the most helpful impres-
sion of the books being examined. As an
historian of the Middle West once said after
examining hundreds of files< of old nineteenth
century newspapers. "Historical events as re-

flected in out-.and-out Republican newspapers
or Democrat newspapers could be interpreted
with reasonable accuracy because of the ease of
making a natural allowance for the partisan
potint of view, but with news as written i;i
the paper which proclaims itself non-ipartisan
it is impossible to tell just what the bias was
at the time of writing." In some such way the
too reserved critic fails by his very neutrality
to give an accurate picture. Mr. John Cotton
Dana of the Newark Library has recently
sent to the Literary Reviciv of the New York
Evening Post a carefully analyzed comparison
between the Literary Reviciv and the London
limes Literary Supplement. He believes that
our American reviews lack a certiuin breadth
of approach to the printed output. The prin-
cipal point made should be carefully con-
.sidered by all our reviewers, as. we are prOb-
al)ly prone to lay too much emphasis on cer-
tain types of creative literature rather than
to view the whole output of print in all fields
of activity. At the same time, it may be that
the London Times is not the best model to
suit our public and that our own standards
must be worked out, governed by the new
interest in this subject. The American reader
would miss in his literary paper all editorial
approach to books. He likes the light touch
of the columniist such as Christopher Morley,
Keith Preston, etc. Our interest in European
literature is probably better answered by sum-
mary and comment than detailed reviews of
numerous books as is the case in the London
Times. We are always glad to have our
columns of rev'iews broken up by literary
articles of different types. A recent num-
ber of the London Times prints over forty
columns of consecutive reviews with scarcely
a break in the form of approach, column after
column of sober and excellent analyses cover-
ing such subjects as "The Evolution of Modern
Medicine." "The History of the Fortnightly
Club." "Unnoticed London." "Lord Hood and
the Defense in Tulon," "The Theory of Mind
As Pure Act," John Dowland's "Second Book
of Airs " Most of these are a column or two
columns in length. There can be laid down
no general rule for book pages any more than
for other creative work, but the general atten-
tion being given to the subject and the general
competence of those entering into the field
make it seem likely that the reviewing and
discussion of books is entering a healthy
and better conducted iplane than we have ever
had before in this country.

The Story of W. H. Smith & Son

TilE great English bookselHng firm of W.
H. Smith & Son, which celebrated the cen-
tenary of its founding in 1920, was des-
cribed by Lord Biirnham on that occasion as
a national asset and a national strength. The
history of the firm is almost romantic, since its
origins were in England's picturesque stage
coach days; but the story also reads like a
modem success story
since the fortunes of r
the great business
were buiilt upon what
is often called a mod-
em business commod-
ity. Service.

The firm which was
started in 1820 in
Duke Street, Grosv-
ener Square, by two
brothers, Henry Ed-
wards and William
Henry, was chiefly
active in the distribu-
tion of newspapers,
tho the brothers de-
scribed themselves as
"Newspaper Agents,
Booksellers and Bind-
ers." It is interesting
to note that within
five or six years of
the firm's foundation
four of its great de-
partments were thus
foreshadowed Per-
haps one might say
five depanments. for
early in its history, a
reading room was ac-
quired at 192 Strand
where, frr a guinea
and a half yearly, 150
newspapers could be
read every week as
well as magazines.
Considering how few

magazines there were a century ago, this was
a remarkalde number.

The indolent disposition of the elder brother
always was a sore trial to his junior who was
both imaginative and energetic, so in 1828 the
partnership was quietly dissolved, and William
Henry Smith was the sole proprietor from i8jo
till 1846.

The story of how the great newspaper dis-
tribution husiness grew, struggling against
enormous difficulties is the most romantic phase
of the growing Smith business. In those days,
newspapers had to pay a tax on the paper used.
a tax en the advertisements, and a tax on

every copy printed. By the time the Smith
hrm came into existence, this tax amounted to
3^2 d. or 4 d. The tax was not abandoned until
1855. In those days, newspapers were de-
livered thru the post office. Country mails
were sent out only at night so that newspapers
were twelve hours old before they started on
their mail coach journey. Country readers
almost never read
news less than forty-
eight hours old.
Morning coaches left
for the provinces but
did not carry mails.
William Henry Smith
conceived the idea of
delivering his papers
not by mail but by
sending them on these
morning coaches
swifter and twelve
hours earlier than the
night mail. If the
paper was late in com-
ing from the press,
the morning coach did
not wait, however, so
Smith's had . a cart
which wiould gallop
off after the coach and
transfer the papers to
it. In those days be-
fore the automobile
came into use. Smith's
were very proud of
their horses, which
took many prizes. In
some cases Smith's
chartered a special
boat and employed
special engines to de-
liver an especially im-
portant p i e c (■ of
news.

Mr. Smith's son.
William Henry, the
younger, intended to become a clergyman, but
his father persuaded him to enter his business,
and. in 1846, when the son was twenty-one
years old, the father took him into partner-
ship, and the firm name became W. H. Smith
& Son and has remained so ever since. In
1852, the firm moved to 186 Strand, which
remained the headquarters of the business until
the recent removal to Strand House in
Portugal Street on the site of King's College
Hospital.

The growth of the famous Smith railway
bookstalls was due to the energy and imagina-
tion of young Mr. Smith, the new partner.

M ITH,

He conceived the idea of contracting with the
London and Northwestern Railway for the
rights to operate bookstalls at the railroad
stations. On November ist, 1848, the first
Smith's bookstall came into existence. The
Smith idea of giving good value for money

demand. But the ever conscientious Smith's,
who instructed their boys to call merely Lon-
don papers, or morning papers and never
recommend one paper more than another, were
afraid that there would be a temptation to
push their own publications at the bookstalls

received applied to their management of rail-
way bookstalls, and a better grade of book was
to be found in the railroad station than ever
before. The next branch of the business which
the Smiths developed was the R. A. D. — the
Railroad Advertising Department. Thru con-
tracts with the railroads, Smith's rented to
manufacturers and merchants space on the
station walls to advertise their products.

The Smith Loan Libraries, as famous as the
bookstalls, were not started until after the
elder Mr. Smith retired from the business in
1858. Young Mr. Smith and his new partner,
William Lethbridge, undertook the new ven-
ture rather reluctantly as they realized it meant
a large investment with no immediate return
on the money. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to buy out Mudie's. When the libraries
were established and they and the bookstalls
had to be stocked, it was realized how meagre
was the supply of light fiction. Smith's began
the publication of "yellowbacks" to supply the

and libraries, and gave up the successful pub-
lication business, which had been conducted
by arrangement with Chapman and Hall, as
soon ais many publishers had taken up tl:0 idea
and the supply of light fiction was assured.

The printing department of Smith's was es-
tablished to make advertising posters and
printed address wrappers, this last an immense
economy of time and effort. Another such
economy was the establishment of wholesale
houses to relieve the head office of the whole
distribution problem. There are now thirty-
six wholesale branches, covering practically
every corner of England and Wales. It is in-
teresting to note in this connection that Smith's
does an immense wholesale business and has
an enormous export trade.

In 1869, the firm established its own works
department for the designing, making, decorat-
ing and repairing of its bookstalls.

A dramatic and revolutionary change took
place in the character of the Smith book busi-

April 22, 1922

Il6.T

ness in 1905. The firm was unable to make
satisfactory contracts for its bookstalls with
two of the most important railroads. One of
these contracts had lasted 57 years. The firm
seemed to be faced by the alternatives of losing
its long established business, losing its old
customers, and turning away 200 faithful em-
ployees, or paying ruinous rents for the stalls.
Tho there were but ten weeks in which to
make the change the solution of establishing
book shops to t^e the place of the stalls was
seized upon. Shops were found and leased,
and some businessess bought outright. By the
time the old contracts expired, in every impor-
tant town where there had been a Smith Book-
stall there was a Smith Bookshop. Circulars
were sent to old customers, explaining the
change, and the new plans. Ninety per cent
of these old customers expressed their inten-
tion of keeping their names on Smith's books,
many expressing appreciation for years of ex-
cellent service. The new shops had the advan-
tage of much increased space and facilities for
the display of books and stationery. The
change turned out to be for the greatest good
of the business. The work of planning, alter-
ing and fitting involved in changing the book-
stalls to shops led to the growth of the Estate
Department. It is the work of this depart-
ment to carry out the Smith policy of acquir-
ing sites and erecting buildings specifically
suited to the Smith business.

Conference On Postal Matters

A RECENT letter has been sent to the pub-
lishers of America explaining the forma-
tion of the American Publishers' Conference
and setting forth its first mission which is to
affect a postage reform. The American Publish-
ers' Conference is a new organization with head-
quarters in Washington and it is composed of
associations of business papers, newspapers, pe-
riodicals. Its formatibn is significant because
for the first time all branches of publis'hing in
this country have been able to get together. The
Conference is not yet committed to joint action
on anything but second-class postage. It is
generally recognized that there are good argu-
ments for the zone postage system and likewise
good arguments for the flat rates, but a com-
promise has been worked out. which all can
conscientiously support, and a bill will be soon
introduced into Congress covering some essen-
tial points. First: Continuation of the i^ee-
in-county-privilege which is so vital to the
smaller publication. Second: Retention of the
zone system of charge but reducing it to the
amount of the second advance instead of the
present fourth advance. The revisions are con-
sidered so moderate that success is strongly
hoped for.

The arguments in the brief which the Pub-
lishers' Conference has prepared of its position
on the postal rates hold that postal rates
were increased to four times the pre-war rate
during war time, so that publishers pay a spe-
cial tax in addition to paying all other taxes
levied upon all industries as a whole and are
still paying increased cost for la'bor, paper and
other essentials. It is argued, too, that this
postal tax is a tax on a process of the pub-
lishing industry, altho it is a recognized prin-
ciple of taxation that taxes should be levied
on products, not processes. Publishers, it is
pointed out, are paying taxes of both kinds.
It is argued that high postal rates on the text
of newspapers and periodicals are a tax on edu-
cation and high rates on advertising are equiva-
lent to a tax on traveling salesmen or laibor-
saving machinery. Finally it is pointed out
that this will reduce the total post office re-
ceipts of $500,000,000 by only $8,000,000.

How Maps and Atlases are Made

By Alfred Sidney Johnson, Ph.D.

Map Department, Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, 111.
PART III.

SURVEYING in the field, as previously
noted, is the foundation work on which all
map-making is based. Figuratively 'Speak-
ing, the surveys furnish the "raw material ;"
while the preparation of the final detailed
drawing, and its reproduction in the printed
edition, may be said to constitute the "manu-
facturing processes."

Maps of Various Kinds and Uses

There are many different kinds of maps.
They vary greatly in size, in features empha-
sized, in amount and refinement of detail
presented, in^ color effects, in salability and
prescribed' limits 'of cost, iri the objective pur-
pose intended to be served, and in many other
respects — all of which bear more or less closely
on the problem of determining the particular
processes of manufacture to be employed. Thus
we have lyhysical and political maps; nautical
charfs ; railway and road maps ; mileage maps ;
soil survey maps ; maps showing distribution of
resources; crop, weather, and population maps ;
and a host' of others.

All kinds of maps, however, have one feature
in common. Differ as they may in detail and
rpurpose, the same basal framework underlies
them all; land the foundation of control for the
entire system consists of the "topographic"
map, which, as we have seen, embodies a re-
duced facsimile of the actual outline and con-
figuration of the particular region in question.

Topographic maps are thus the only ricncral
utility maps. They are capable of such wide
and varied practical application, that imagina-
tion itself can set no limits to the range of
their possible usefulness. The purpose to which
they are perhaps most " frequently applied is to
serve as base maps for the graphic representa-
tion of all facts relating to population, industry,
resources, products, transportation, or other in-
formation of important bearing. It is safe to
say that, among all the prolilems vitally affect-
ing human activities, there is not a single one
which does not depend upon the possession of
topograi)hic maps for its thoro study and in-
vestigation, and for the develoipmcnt of ade-
quate plans for its solution. The lack of such
maps is an unerring sign of backwardness and
inertia. Without them, the development of any
area is retarded, and the expense of nlanning
public works and private enterprises is multi-
plied. It is estimated that the actual money
lost each year by the people of the United
States l)ccausc of lack of adequate topographic

maps, amounts to more than the total of what
it would cost to carry the mapping program of
the country to completion. The possession of
such maps insures economical designing of im-
provements, and reveals possibiliities for the
development of resources that would otherwise,
in all probability, remain unknown. They are
an essential factor of preparedness, a stimulus
to community life, a tonic for addled mentality,
and a lubricant that overcomes much of the
obstructive grit in all the machinery of progress.

Topographic Map Drawing

When the topographic sheets, notes, and other
material gathered in the field reach the office,
they are at once sorted *and indexed for ready
reference. The new information is compared
with what niay be already known ; and all mani-
fest errors are eliminated. The necessary com-
putations for determination of precise latitudes,
longitudes, elevations, etc., of important points,
are made. The cartographer is then confronted
with the great task of reducing to the particular
scale, and plotting according to the particular
type of pr'ojection, adopted for the finished ma,p
or chart.

Choice of Scale

The scale of a map simply expresses the rela-
tion which a straight line of a certain length
(say I inch) on the map bears to the actual
over-the-ground distance represented by such
line (say 30 miles). If, instead of i in.— 30
n-files, we use i \n.r=z\ mile, the latter is said to
be the "larger scale," because it requires a
longer line to represent the same distance, and
takes larger space on the sheet to show up the
same area of actual territory. When there is
a great amount of detail to be thrown in, or
preat accuracy of measurements is required, the
larger scales are necessar3%

It is evident, therefore, that the choice of
scajle for a map is not arbitrarily made, but
depends upon a variety of aonsiderations. The
chief controlling factors are the amount of
territory to be represented in the given space,
the relative commercial or industrial importance
of the locality, and the specific purpose which
the map is intended to serve

It is only by referring to the scale, that any-
one consulting a map can get from the map
a correct idea of relative areas and distances.
The scale, accordingly, should be one pf the
first things noted b}^ any map user.

Anything that can be clearly visualized or
represented to iimagination — ^for example, tun-
neling the earth to the antipodes, flying to the
moon, or coniversing with the inhabitants of
other worlds — ^^is theoretically possible, tho, for
the tiime being, it may be practically impossible
because of our ipresent limitations of knowl-
edge and physiical equipment But anything
which is theoretically an impossibilit}^ — such as
finding oonsistency in a contradiction, or draw-
ing a p'lane triangle the sum of whose interior
angles does not equal two right angles — is for-
ever alslq practically impossible.
Map Projection

Now, we might as well confess at the outset,
that no map of the earth's surface absolutely
accurate in every detail ever was or ei^cr can
he drazni. A map (from the Latin "mappa,"
a sheet) is flat. The surface of the earth is
curved — and curved* not with the comparatively
simple curves of a sphere, but with the com-
plicated mathematical elements of a spheroid
flattened toward the poles. No one can plot
on one of these surfaces an absolutely accurate
representatiion of the other. The task is a
theoretical, and therefore also a practical, im-
possdbility. To secure accuracy in cne respect,
there must be at least some small sacrifice of
it in another. If relative areas are preserved,
shapes are more or less distorted ; if directions
are correctly indicated, areas and distances
are exaggerated; and so on.

A practical solution of the problem is found
only in a compromise, in steering a middle
dourse, so that errors are either reduced to a
minimum, or confined entirely to some special
aspects that will not affect the utility of the
map for its intended purpose. The resulting
drawing — 'a conventional representation, on a
flat sheet, of the curved surface of the earth — •
lis called a projection. And the most important
features of a projection are the lines represent-
ing parallels of latitude and meridians of longi-
tude. These must be laid down either as nearly
like the lines on a globe! as is possible in trans-
ferring lines from a curved to a flat surface,
or else in such a way that some one property
of the lines is retained at the expense of others
of less significance.

Types of Projection in Common Use

Many difi"ercnt types of projection have bccti
devised. There is, in fact, no limit to their
possible number. Each has its advantage for
some specific purpose. Stripping the subject,
however, of the cumbrous mathematical for-
mulae by which usually it is very effectively
obscured for all whose mental wings are- not yel
plumed for flight into those ethereal regions
where the technical expert may be left to enjoy
his customary habitat in exclusive ecstacy, we
may be able to give the average reader a fairly

clear tho superficial understanding of the general
problem o-f projection, by .pointing out the
features common to all projections, and at-
tempting to turn a candle-beam of explanation
(;nly on the few types lin common use.

Let us think, then, of the projection as a
ipicture projected, or thrown forward, onto a
flat sheet. In all cases, the view obtained will
depend on the position of the observer, and on
the angle at which his line of sight strikes the.
sheet. "Moving pictureis"- and lantern-slide
views always appear distorted to those in front
seats, especially if the seats are off at the side
of the hall. Sbmething similar to this occurs
in map projection.

The imaginary position of the observer may
be at the center of the earth or somewhere
else along its axis, or at some point on tits
surface, or even on some distant heavenly
lx>dy ; and the sheet may be imagined to 1^3
held in various positions — e.g., horizontally
tbuching the earth at one of the poles, or oc-
cupying the plane of the equator, or curved
so as to form a cylinder or a cone touching
the earth's surface. The lines of sight are
directed from the observer's eye. to or thru
various points on the earth's surface (for
example, the points along the outine >f a -on-
tinent). As these lines pass thru the sheet
or are carried forward till thcv strike it. they
locate on the sheet the corresponding points
to be plotted as the projection.

If, for example, an observer were on Polaris,
and could look down" along parallel lines of
sight passing thru paints on the upper half of
earth's surface and striking the sheet occupy-
ing the plane of the equator, the resulting plot
on the sheet would be what is known as an
orthographic projection of the Northern
Hemisphere — practically the kind of view we
get of the moon. Toward the outer edge of
the projection, near the equator, the parallels
of latitude are closely crowded together. This
objection is partly overcome, if we stand at the
south pole looking up thru the earth at the
same hemisphere, the plotting being done by
connecting the points where the lines of sight
pass thru the plane of the equator — in which
case we have a stereographic projection. A
mod''fied form of this projection is sometimes
used in atlases to show hemispheres and con-
tinents. It is somewhat like the picture we
.'•^', )uM get if the outlines were dr-in'n r^rrectly
on a rubber sheet stretched over the Northern
Hcmis- here, p-'d the sheet were then pUowed
to shrink to the level of the equator. In this
case the central areas are somewhat shrunk
and the edges distorted.

Again, let us stand at the center of the
earth ; and suppiise the .sheet to be bent around
in the form of a cone with its inner surface
just touching the earth along a parallel of

ii68

The Publishers' Weekly

latitude, and having its apex at some point
above the north pole Our lines of sight, pass-
ing out thru points on the earth's surface,
enable us to plot on the inner surface, of the
sheet what is called a simple conic projection.
When the sheet is unrolled out flat, the mer-
idians show up as straight lines converging
toward the pole; and the parallels appear as
curves of shorter and shorter radius as the
pole is approached. This type of projection
is very frequently used for atlas maps of
comparatively small countries, giving an out-
line practically free from distortion. For re-
gions lying close to the developed circle of
tangency, the distortion is so small as to be
negligible. It is evident, however, that the dis-
tortion increases for regions farther and far-
ther away, since the distance between the lines
of sight passing thru any two points on the
earth's surface increases the farther those lines
have to travel before reaching the sheet.

This objection is largely overcome, and dis-
tortion, even for large areas, is reduced to a
minimum that may be ignored, by the graphic
device known as the polyconic projection.
Here, instead of using a single cone tangent
at the central parallel of the one zone to be
projected, a succession of narrow, parallel
zones are projected upon a series of oones
tangent along the middle circles of the respec-
tive zones ; and these successive zones of tan-
gency — ^lapping, as it were, over one another —
are then developed so as to preserve the true
scale length of the central meridian.

The polyconic is the type of projection in
practically universal use in all the greatest
surveys. If not extended over too wide an
area, it has the advantage of showing directions
and distances of all points in their correct re-
lations to one another.

The four-sided figures set off on a projec-
tion by the crloss-lines representing meridians
and parallels, are knofwn as graticules. On all
large-scale maps of small areas, these are
practically rectangular in form; but on small-
scale maps of large areas, they are bounded
by curves.

For maps of small areas extending not over
ten miles in latitude or longitude, the very
simple plane projection may be employed. Un-
less the scale is very large, such areas may be
regarded as plane surfaces, and so plotted
without serious error ; the sheet being simply
laid out in squares, and detail points located
by rectangular co-ordinates — that is, by laying
off to scale their perpendicular distances from
the reference meridians and parallels.

The well-known M creator's projection in-
vented in the i6th century by a Flemish mer-
chant, Gerhard Kramer, and now used for
practically all nautical charts and for maips
of the world as a whole, is a projection of the

cylindrical type. The point of sight is the
center of the earth; and the projection sheet
is the inner surface of a cylinder tangent to
the globe at the equator. The parallels of
latitude, each representing thruout its length
a uniform height above the .plane occupied by
the observer, show up on the sheet as hori-
zontal, parallel straight lines; but, toward the
north 'or the south, successive lines marking
equal intervals of latitude are located farther
and farther apart on the projection, while the
poles themselves, being infinitely far away,
cannot be shown

The meridians all appear as parallel straight
lines perpendicular to the equator. Instead of
drawing closer together toward the poles as
they actually do on the earth, they show up
on the chart, at all latitudes, the same distance
apart as at the equator

It is evident, therefore, that on the Mercator
chart the scale is variable, becoming larger
and larger and giving an increasing exaggera-
tion the farther one goes fr'om the equator. In
fact, a degree of latitude at 60° north or south
measures on the chart twice the length of a
degree at the equator; at 80°, six times the
same length. At 80° the representation of any
area is 36 times as large as it would be at the
equator; and if the chart were large enough
to show the same piece of land at 89*, the indi-
cated area would be multiplied 3,000 times.

This variation of scale, with, its consequent
exaggerations, is the main objection to a map
drawn on the Mercator projection. While
fairly accurate wdthin the trorpics, such a map
is misleading if used for general purposes or
if taken as indicating either areas or distances
outside these rather narrow limits.

For purposes of navigation over ocean areas,
however, the Mercator chart is superior to all
others, because the bearings of all points on the
chart correspond with the true compass bear-
ings of the routes between them. From this
chart, even the most ignorant sailor can lay
down his course correctly without calculation.
For him, this is more important than knowing
exact locations or distances. These a navigator
with a modicum of nautical knowledge can
calculate from sextant observations or dead
reckoning and already prepared tables ; but
the course of his ship is something he must
see. San Francisco, for example, is shown on
the chart to be about 2 degrees north of east
of Yokohama. If a steamer, leaving the
Japanese port, keeps its bearing 2 degrees
north of east, it will pull in at the Golden Gate.
It will not, however, have traveled the shortest
route, tho its course is indicated on the Mer-
cator chart by a straight line. The shortest
passage would have been along the arc of the
great circle connecting the two ports, and
sometimes indicated by a curved line.

If, once more, the observer, instead of re-
maining at the center of the earth, were to
move along the earth's axis, looking at all
times horizontally out to the inner surface of
the surrounddng cylinder,, his lines of sight
would locate points for the plotting of a cylin-
drical equal-area projection, in which all areas
on the earth's surface would be represented
with mathematical accuracy.

While the name "projection" is properly ap-
plied to the entire picture that dould be thrown
upon the sheet by one or another of the various
methods referred to, the art of projection draw-
ing, with all its refinement of mathematical
adjustments, is usually confined in practice
to laying down the skeleton framework of the
graticules or quadrilateral areas bounded by
meridians and parallels. The principal points
located precisely by the surveys are then plotted
in their proper positions. Next, such features
as the shoreline, contours, and other details
gathered in the field surveys or from other
sources are copied in so as to fill out the
spaces.

To sum up : The original units from which a

map of large area is built up may be maps of
areas so small as to be treated as if they were
plane surfaces. While each unit is thus prac-
tically free from distortion, no large number
of them could be joined together so as to rep-
resent a large area and be made to lie flat.
The art of projection comes to rescue by lay-
ing down flat frames into which the small map
units must be fitted by being copied so as to
fill the space prepared for them. And, depend-
ing on the object to be served by the map, the
lines of latitude and longitude must be so laid
down on the flat sheet that the substantially
correct maps of the small areas can be filled
in with as little distortion as possible, or else
so that some desirable characteristic may be
retained at the expense of a sacrifice of others
less important.

Up to this stage, the map consists almost
wholly of lines. The lettering, special conven-
tional symbols, and other details may now be
inlked in with pen; or, at a later stage, during
the process of making the printing plates, they
may be stamped in with metal type or dies.

Good Bookmaking

NOT the least attractive feature of Double-
day's beautiful reprint of "The Legend of
Ulenspiegel" is the clean-cut presswork.
The two volumes have been bound in green
boards, cloth back, and the title page uses two
colors and italics in all the lines. Such an edi-
tion is worthy of the importance of the book
as a piece of literature. Doubleday has also
lavished great care on "The Letters to Lithop-
olis" by O. Henry which has been issued in a
limited edition. The presswork is again of the
very best standard.

Knopf has again done full justice to the op-
portunity presented by a book of Oriental lit-
terature, and has made a beautiful octaVo vol-
ume of Arthur Waley's "The No Plays of
Japan," bound in brilliant orange boards, with
canvas back, and with a wellnplanned type page.
Mr. Knopf credits the typographers, paper mak-
ers and binders by naming them on the back
of the title page. The type of bdok-making
which Mr. Knopf has developed has been in-
creasingly copied of late, and is having its
marked effect on American book-making. An-
other interesting binding is that on "Peter
Whiffle" by Carl Van Vechten. A very inter-
esting hand-made paper has been used for the
side supplying a design in happy contrast to
the canvas back. The type page and general
make-up of the book is unusually pleasant. A
third Knopf book of different format is the
narrow i2mo. which has been planned for Ste-
phen Hudson's "Elinor Colhouse," a short novel

of 150 odd pages. Red buckram with green
top and green label have been effectively used.

A very good piece of poetry printing is shown
in "The Book of American Negro Poetry,"
published by Harcourt, Brace & Company. The
various types of poetry length have been well
fitted to th page and made to have one uni-
fied appearance. The presswork is that of
Quinn and Boden of Rahway, bound with a dig-
nified paper label with board side and cloth
back.

"Wayfarers in Arcady" by Charles Vince has
been made into an attractive octavo by Put-
nam's, with a fr'ontispiece in brown tint, and
plain blue cloth with gilt lettering.

Another delightful outdoor volume of quite
different format is "Songs of Out-of-Doors'*
by (Henry Van Dyke (Scribner), a volume the
size of the Temple Shakespeare and beautifully
planned for the pocket of the tramper. The
publishers have planned for this a photographic
wraipper which will add to the display possi-
bilities of the book.

Scribner has also made a most attractive
volume of George E. Hale's astronomy called
"The New Heavens," half-tones of fine quality
being carefully fitted to the text.

Another example of the half-tone well
handled is shown in Sir Ross Smith's "Four-
teen Thousand Miles Thru the Air," (Macmil-
lan) w^hioh domes out just at the time of the
author's tragic death.

Harper's has turned out a dignified biog-

1170

The Publishers Weekly

raphy in the Elizabeth Cady Stanton set of two
volumes, and another attractive biography is
"Young Boswell" by Chauncey Brewster Tinker
(Atlantic Monthly). This volume would have
been slightly better if the paper had been not so
heavy. On paper just half the thickness yet
showing excellent presswork is Coolidge'.s
"Ulysses S. Grant," reissued in the centenary
edition by Hbughton Mifflin Company. The
binding in blue cloth and gilt sides and gilt top
take one back to an earlier period of book bind-
ing.

The Atlantic Monthly Press have to their
credit two other good volumes in "The Iron
Man in Industry" by Arthur Pound, and a
graceful little volume entitled "A Glance To-
ward Sihakespeare" by John Jay Chapman.

An attractive volume of poetry of the month
is "Kinfolks" by Ann Cobb (Houghton Mifflin).
An atmosphere suitable to poems from the old
mountaineer country has been created bv the

yellow boards with the effect of blue home-
spun design.

A well-planned children's book is Milliccnt
Evanses "Peggy Pretend," published by Lo-
throp, Lee & Shepard Company, with good il-
lustrations by Edna F. Hubon. One of the at-
tractive novels is "Q" by Katharine Newlin
Burt of Houghton Mifflin Company.

A new venture into the flexible leather tield
is seen in the four- volume set planned by
Little, Brown & Company fur the novels of
A. S. M. Hutchinson. The books have uni-
form hand lettered title pages, very attractive
lining papers suggesting the English country-
side in which the stories are laid, and the
leather selected is maroon lambskin with the
monogram H on the side, and gilt back. Ex-
cellent typographical effect has been had with-
out cramping the margins or making the paper
too thin for comfortal)le reading even for the
traveler.

English News — From London Correspondent

THE Society of Bookmen is sponsor for
a series of educational lectures for book-
sellers and librarians at the Essex Hall.
The first of the lectures was given by Sidney
Dark, associate-editor of John o'Londoii's
Weekly, on "The New Reading Public," and
it was an extremely interesting and helpful
address. The second meeting will be a de-
bate on "Book Publicity" from the point of
view of a bobkseller, a publisher, and a book-
buyer, in which J. G. Wilson, of J. and E.
Bumpus. Michael Sadloir, author of "Privilege"'
and a well-known book-buyer, will take part.
The chair o.n this occasion will be occupied by
Sydney Pawling, of Heinemann's. The third
lecture will be given by G. B. Bowes of Messrs.
Macmillan & Bowes, the famous Cambridge
booksellers, on "The Business of Bookselling,"
and W. B. Maxwell will be in the chair. In
May, Mr. C. S. Evans of Heinemann's will
lecture on "Are Book Prices Too Cheap?"
with Major Ian Hay Beith ("Ian Hay") in
the chair. The concluding lecture of the pres-
ent series will be entitled "The Making of a
Book." This lecture will consist chiefly of
moving pictures, with an explanation l)y Cecil
Clay. Lord Burnham will take the chair.

These lectures are open to the public gener-
ally, and they represent the new forward move-
ment to bring publishing, bookselling, and au-
thorship more closely to the attention of book
buyers.

There is a discussion going on just at the
moment on . lx)ok production. Publishers'
Wkkkly readers will be interested in extracts
from two important letters, dealing with the

subject, recently contributed to The Times Lit-
erary Supplement.

"It is time to enter a protest against the
neglect by many publishers of important de-
tails concerning the production of books.

1. In many cases the title of a book appears
with dreadful monotony at the head of, each
page. What this means in loss of time will be
appreciated by anyone who has tried to refer
rapidly to passages in long biographies or his-
tories which have the title heading over each
page. The only proper way is to print on
each left hand page the title of the chapter,
and on each right hand page the actual sub-
ject dealt with on that page.

2. The table of contents should come at the
lieginning of the book, preceding the preface
or introduction. The common practice of
printing the contents after a long introduction
is an inefficient and illogical arrangement.

3. The date of publication should be clear-
ly stated, on the title page and, if it is not the
first edition, bibliographical details should be
given overleaf.

4. Pages should be cut. We have got be-
yond the ridiculous affectation which regarded
uncut pages as something distinctively lit-
erary.

5. There should be a stricter attention to pu-
rity of type. It is still a rule to find on the
same title page several different fonts of type.
We are still a long way off a com.mon stand-
ard O'f purity and simplicit\-. Even italics
ought to be abolished from title pages, as well
as from the headings of pages.

6. The convention by which introductory

April 22, 1922

1171

matter has Roman pagination could conve-
niently be abolished. It greatly simf/lifies an
index if there is a common system thruiout the
book, beginning with the first printed page.

Many other aesthetic questions arise in con-
nection with the production of books; but the
points thus briefly dealt with affect all who
regularly read new books, particularly long
works of biography and history."

The writer of this letter, Mr. Howard
W'hitehouse, is evidently very earnest about
the matter, and holds distinct views as to what
is, or what is not correct. He will find criti-
cism laid at his door as to argument number
one ; his second contention has many adher-
ents; number three is sound; four is a matter
of taste ; argument five goes without saying,
while the sixth idea is a fully grown up con-
tention. Now let us print what Mr. C. Wren
Howard, Mr. Cape's partner, says:

''The standard of book production to-day
is most certainly very low, but good materials
are again available, altho still fairly highly
priced. A fall in the price of paper has made
it possible to dispense with that terrible sub-
stance known as "Bulky News." Cloth, too.
has come down in price, and it is no longer
necessary to employ substitutes for it. Print-
ing, however, is still in a bad way. The rea-
son for this would appear to be attributable
mainly to two things. The first is a certain
lack of liaison between printer and publisher —
a lack of proper information and understand-
ing. The format of a ])ook should really be
the result of careful collaboration between the
two parties primarily concerned. The pub-
lisher, who knows the su'bstance of the book,
should settle all main points — size of paper,
size of type, imposition, margins, form of
headline, chapter headings, make-up of pre-
liminary matter, and so forth, leaving to the
printer those minor but very important details
for which his more intimate technical knowl-
edge is essential.

The second and by far the more potent reason
for the decay of book production is to l)e
found in the indifference and ignorance of
nine-tenths of the reading public. One thing
only seems to determine for them whether a
1x)ok is a book beautiful, or merely a book.
Provided that a volume, however badly printed,
be lx>und elaborately and decorated with plenty
of gold-leaf, it is held to be precious and
perfect. Many people have ideas on the fram-
ing of pictures or prints, .'but few can tell, or
care, iw^cther la printed page f;S tx>rrec|lly
placed on the paper. They may say that only
the contents of a Iwok matter; but, if the con-
tents are presented in a way that makes read-
ing less easy, or ideas more difficult to assimi-
late, bbviously all is not well ; a badly pro-
duced ')>ook can cause the appetite for reading

to flag no less surely than a dirty plate will
cause a irevulsion from food.

Again, how often do reviewers, on whom
people do to some considerable extent depend,
even say whether a book is well or ill pro-
duced, except perhaps to add as an after^
thougtht that "this i|9 a handsomely produced
■book with many beautiful plates on art
paper" !

Unless, then, or until the public chooses to
edulcate itself in the niceties of book pro-
duction, badly produced hooks will continue
to be published and to be Iwught by the public
that deserves them.

This is excellent and valuable. It comes
from an expert who has proved his capacity
by the specimens of his craft that have ap-
peared with the imprint of Mr. Cape on the
title page. To much attention cannot be
given to Mr. Howard's communication. More-
over, his letter gives, in brief, terse language,
the exact manufacturing position in England,
so far as book production is concerned, as it
is today.

The following books are among ihc best
sellers.

Fiction
The Garden Party and Other Stories, ^v fans-
field.
The Jewel in the Lotus. Forbes.
Greensea Island. Bridges.
Search. Larminie.

And, of course. Hutchinson's "if Winter
Comes." As in America, nothing seems to
stop it. Everybody is reading it. It's a craze,
and a. good one too, with the commuters !

The Book Crisis in France Again

W^HAT ails the French book? One of the
W French papers, L'Exportateur Frangais,
has asked various authors, publishers and book-
sellers for their opinions on this subject. The
authors have answered unanimously that
literary criticism, or the lack of lit, is to blame.
The publisihers have given their reasons at
greater length and with more variety, as fol-
lows:

M. Cres, of the finm Cres et Cie., as of the
opinion that it might be well to adopt the
English system of bringing out two editions
of the same work at diifferent prices, or even
three editions: one de luxe, another at a price
of albout 6 fr., and a third cheaper. "We are
now paying" said M, Cres, "the penalty of
years of mistakes and stubbornness on the
part of French publishers and booksellers."

M. Emile Paul refused to make public all
the remedies he Ihad in mind, "But let me tell
yon'' he said, "that one of the finest and surest
solutions consists in the setting of a high price
upon one of the two first editions of books
by authors whjo are already accepted or becom-
ing well-fknown. And I must tell you that the
efforts in favor of the book cannot be fruit-
ful unless the publishers give up the habit
of overstocking the booksellers by overprinting,
and the first practise to be condemned and
destroyed in the interests of all is the pub-
lishing of books at the author's expense."

"It is hard" said M. Gillou, of the Larousse
bookstore, "and it may seem presumptuous to
say when the book crisis will be over. Never-
theless there are questions that can be an-
swered definitely: will book prices increase
further? Yes. In what proportions? To a
great extent, undoutedly. As to the reasons
for the increase, they are principally of two
kinds : i. the price bf paper has not decreased
appreciably; 2. tlie price of labor has a con-
stant tendency to increase."

According to M. Louis Hachette, the book
crisis is largely due to the crisis in paper,
which should be dealt with before all else,
ly, retail 20. Radio Broadcast, monthly,
have raised their prices over 500% above the
pre-war prices, while rates of printing have
never gone up over 150%.

M. Mainguet, of the firm Plon-Nourrit et
Cie., believes that the raising of the price would
be more than justified if the public did not
have to be considered. An edition of 3000
(which tends to become the lowest possible
number) actually costs 2 f r. 10, per book,
not counting the author's royalty. Add to
this a tax of 10%. the discounts to booksellers,
and general expenses, and you will find that

the volume must be sold at the minimum price
of 6 f r. 25, always on condition that the whole
3000 copies be sold and that no profit is ex-
pected.

M. Charles Malexis of the illustrated Edi-
tion Frangaise tells us that the proposed higher
price would not only be a disgraceful measure,
but would amount to choking off young au-
thors. It is helpful only to certain big houses
which have important stock to get rid of and
also to firms that would profit from this
increase by being enabled thereby to sell cer-
tain collections cheap. Will it be with these
inferior novels of adventure that those houses
think to uplift the masses?

According to» M. Alfred Valette of the
Mercure de France, the publishers will never
be able to increase the sale prices because of
their increased expenses present and future.
And immediately this question presents itself:
what as the spending capacity of the book-
buying public? It is difficult to determine
that precisely. It is necessary to find the
happy medium, that is the price which will
allow the publisher to live and will not repel
the mass of buyers. As only the novel and
works of literature are under consideration
here, I think that the book which has been
marked 3 f r. 50 could stand an increase. As to
novelties, the publisher will fix their prices
after considering the manufacturing cost and the
capacity of the purchasers, as yet unknown,
but soon to be learned by experience. There
is no doubt that he must resign himself not to
undertake, during the crisis, the publication
of some very worthy works which he would
not have hesitated formerly to publish.

Convention Delegates Don't
Forget Railway Certificates

THE only way that the Convention can
arrange for special rates is to have
a certain minimum registration of dele-
gates, these delegates must each bring
railroad certificates obtained when buying
the ticket to Washington. It is easy to
forget to ask for the certificate, but, if
the proper number fails to be recorded,
there is great loss to every member of
the Convention especially to those from
distant points. Every bookseller should
remember when buying a ticket to ask
for the Convention railroad certificate
and thus save money for all.

The Best Five American Novels

EDWARD Anthony, in his column, The
Book Factory, in the New York Herald
records, **a gang of us were sitting around the
other day lazily discussing nothing in especial.
Inevitably the talk turned to books — the Ameri-
can novel in particular. In the course of the
proceedings some one gave a list of what he
considered the best five American novels. He
started something." A composite of the lists
made by the group shows the following
selections :

thorne.

Trains for Washington

AS the conventioai of the American Book-
sellers' Association opens on Monday
there is a plan being organized for making
up a party of two or more special coaches
to leave the Pennsylvania Terminal, on Sun-
day afternoon, May 7th, to arrive in Wash-
ington between eight and nine o'clock. Dele-
gates and guests are requested to notify Da-
vid J. O'Connell, care of the Funk & Wagnalls
Company, 354 Fourth Ave., New York, of their
intention to be with this party, and he will
send instructions as to the exact time of de-
parture. Also on Monday morning a train
leaves New York via Baltimore and Ohio at
8.50 (daylight time) reaching Washington at
I o'clock. Breakfast and luncheon on board.

Just A Few Lines Bill

Dear Bill Bookseller:

JUST a few lines to tell you how glad I am
that you and your wife are coming here for
the convention — and she won't be lonesome,
either — ^for we are gt>ing to have more ladies
this time than ever before. You all have
talked and heard and read about Washington —
all your lives — and now you have a splendid
reason for coming. I want to make things
easy for you so I'm going to offer a few sug-
gestions. Be sure to ask for a certificate (not
a receipt) when you buy your one way ticket.
Don't wait until your train is ready to pull out
before buying your ticket, for it takes a little
time to obtain the certificate — get your trans-
portation at least 24 hours before leaving —
you can secure it as early as May 4th. Be
sure to ask for .a certificate with each ticket
for they all count to make up our quota and
when you reach the convention hall, deposit
it with our secretary. Miss Belle M. Walker.

Now, just a line about the Cx)lonial Dance.
We would like everyone to dress in colonial
style— diis does not necessarily mean velvets
and silks, etc. — but any inexpensive material
such as chintz (someone told me to mention
this) or any similar material. Of course, no
one will be barred if he is not in costume.
And the committee of the Women's Book-
sellers' Association tells me it has a big sur-
prise "up its sleeve" but, honest, Bill, I don't
know a thing about it.

I had a dandy interview with President
Harding about ten days ago — he is very much
interested in our work — and he graciously con-
sented to receive us at the White House, prob-
ably on Wednesday, May loth.

Judging from all reports, everyone is en-
thusiastic about the convention, and everyone
is coming — and I am sure that no one will be
disappointed

Now, just one - last - zvord, old boy !

Write to the hotel you have selected and
make your reservation now — don't wait — there'll
be anbther large convention here the same week
— so don't put it off — sit right down and write.

I'm looking forward to seeing you, old boy,
with genuine feelings of pleasure — for you
know that one of the greatest benefits derived
from our annual meeting is the hearty clasp
of the hand of our old time friends and the
spirit of reminiscence which always prevails.

Kindest regards and best wishes to you and
yours, from

Yours cordially,

Simon L. Nye,

Chairman of the
Entertainment Committee.

Merchant Marine Libraries

P RESIDENT HARDING has just accepted
•■• the Honorary Presidency of the American
Alerchant Marine Library Association, of which
Herbert Hoover is Honorary Vice-President.
Mrs. Henry Howard, the president of the as-
sociation, was largely instrumental in filling
these honorary offices. In accepting the ofhcc,
President Elarding wrote :

''The proposal to supply libraries to Ameri-
can merchant ships, a task which was carried
on during the war by die American Library
Association, is a most appealing one. The
reahzation of our ambition to establish firmly
a great American merchant marine will lie
l)rought nearer, very much in the measure of
public interest in such eflforts as this."

The organization has placed libraries on 138
ships, representing thirty-five steamship com-
panies.

The majority of the books are fiction but a
substantial portion of books on non-technical
subjects of sjiecial interest to seamen seeking to
fit themselves for promotion are included. Life
in the merchant marine is very monotonous
and confining. Only those who have been at
sea. earning a living tiiereby, fully realize the
spiritual isolation, as well as the physical isola-
tion, of the sailor. He misses acutely scores of
things that people on shore, take for granted :
most of all, the society in leisure moments of
congenia'l. friends. Thus books, tat sea, be-
come far more than so much reading matter.
They fill the gaps in lonely lives. Experience
has shown that American seamen avail them-
selves eagerly of books. They are read, and re-
read — some are literally read to pieces !

To meet the expense of buying the books
and maintaining an eflficient system of delivery
to ships in port, the association urges all who
wis.h to further the service to enroll in the
organization. A traveler's membership costs
five dollars.

Gold Star Fiction

HTHE fifth edition of the Gold Star list of
* American fiction has just been issued by
the Syracuse Public Library. The plan of this
edition is similar to that of i)revious lists.
It aims to give a view^ of American fiction
Irom the time of Co'oper down to the present
month of 1922. It does not pretend to be com-
plete or authoritative, but it does 'claim to
present a representative lisit of books that are
worthy cf a place in any library and worth
taking bome to the family. The selection of
the books has been the duty of the Syracuse
Public Library stafT for a number of years,
and the classing of the books by subject was
done by Wharton Miller when he was assistant
to the librarian. There is a list alphabetical
l)y authors first, the boo'ks in this list having
short descriptive notes. The classification by
subject includes business, character develop-
ment, college (Stories, dog stories, famous people,
journalism, sea stories, society novels, social
problems, stories of the woods, the world war.
Stories of places is sub-divided into New Eng-
land, New York City, New York State and
Pcnnisylvania. the South, tlie Middle West,
California, and the Coast, West and North-
west, Alaska, Mexico and South America,
I'nrope ancf Asia.

Whitman Material Wanted

EMORY HOLLOWAY is about to under-
take a comprehensive new biography of
Walt Whitman and plans to incorporate in it
the very considerable amount of new material
now available. In a recent letter in the New
York Post he has aisiked that possessors of un-
published Whitman manuscripts or letters lend
them to him for the new book and he promises
that such material will be promptly copied and
returned. Mr. Holloway's address is Adelphi
College, Brooklyn, N Y.

IN April issue of "The Step Ladder" the

duction, whose pet phrase is 'the publishing

sion.' Since the author of this squib has often
assailed 'The Step Ladder' ... we are happy
to find ourselves for once in tlioro accord."

In the same issue is the word, that the club's

being sold by rare book dealers at $10.00 tho
published at 40 c, and that the companion
brochure on Hergesheimer is still 40 c.

in the seventeenth century underwent an entire re-
volution. The ancient faith and old traditions were
attacked with unsparing hand, and literature built
up for itself a strong public opinion of its own among
hitherto unimportant classes. Eighteenth century
literature received its first impulses from England.
Montesquieu was the advocate of political liberty;
Voltaire encouraged toleration and freedom of con-
science; the Encyclopedists wrote in opposition to
all established beliefs and Rousseau, the sentimen-
talist, appealed to those who carried out the Revo-
lution. Among the great writers of the time was,
also, Bufi'on, whose Natural History is the work of
a poet rather than that of a scientific student. After
1830 one of the greatest groups in all literature ap-
peared, including the novelists Hugo, Gautier,
Dumas, M6rim6e, and Balzac

These, together with the remarkable modem genius,
Anatole France, form a literary group, the produc-
tions ot which are worthy of the student and book
lover's most careful perusaL

ONE OF A

STRIKING SERIES OF

Institutional Advertising

AVERY interesting experiment in emphasiz-
ing the bookstore as an institution or es-
pecially emphasizing it by lists of books was
shown in a striking series of eleven advertise-
ments which A. C. McClurg & Company ran
in the Chicago Daily News during November
and December. The sample of one of these
two-column advertisements as here reproduced
shows the eighth in the series. All carried the
heading, "Literature— Greatest of All Arts."
The first gave Egypt's Message followed by
Greece, Rome, Mediaeval Times, the Moham-
medan Era, Renaissance, Spain, France, Mod-
ern England, early America, American Writers.
Typographically the series is an interesting
study of special lettering and border work, as
in each case the decorative matter was differ-
ent and in perfect keeping with the period
being represented, the text type remaining the

same. As the lettering of the headings was
all worked out from typical alphabets of the
time, the series made a most interesting study
in letter design.

Good Housekeeping Week

GOOD Housekeeping Magazine announces
that the week from April 20th-27th will be
; ,1 ;od Housekeeping Week thruout the United
Slates and that space has been contracted for
to advertise the Week in over a hundred news-
I>apers. The National Association of Book
Publishers has issued a bulletin, suggesting that
' ome tof the ideas used in the March "Useful
Books" campaign can be repeated in this con-
nection. Window displays of books which re-
late to interior decorating, cooking and home
managing can be arranged : and the Association
suggests as an auxiliary slogan "Build Up the

Electrotyping Wages Upheld

'T'HE New York wages in electrotyping shops
* have been fixed at $59 minimum for an-
other year. This decision has been passed down
by Laurence T. Hinch, serving as chairman of
the hbard of arbitration between employers and
employees in the electrotyping shops of the city.
The employers had claimed that there should
be in accordance with general conditions a re-
ductions of $7 from the scale of $59, the con-
tract for which had expired October last. The
workers had made a counter-demand for an
increase of $5. Both sides introduced evidence
as to wages, cost of living and economic con-
ditions.

The Office of the Author's League

THE office of the Authors' League which
has been refurnished by some Vassar
students is gradually taking on a definite form.
It has an old hand press given by the Plimpton
Press of Norwood and an old Washington
press sent down from the Albany Argus, the
press on which they turned out the paper an-
nouncing Lincoln's assassination. The follow-
ing inscription hangs at the entrance:

"In this /room is f urnishment given by several
young women who as students came often
hither for counsel and discussion of matters
pertaining to the written and the printed word.
They have been aided in their design by a
friend of the college.

"In some such room as this the art of print-
ing was nurtured in a day when the humblest
artisan wrought patiently, with love of his
task and pride in the perfection of it."

Free Mail Delivery of Books?

A MAN living in the country wants to keep
up with new fiction. There is no book-
store near by. His mail is delivered by rural
carrier. Often there is a free library in the
town from which the mailman starts. Being
out of reading matter, he writes for a book.
It would be mailed free under a bill Repre-
sentative Green, Republican, Iowa, has intro-
drced. Once read it would go back free.

The Baby as a Customer

THE importance of the baby as a customer
has been pointed out by Marshall Field &
Company in a booklet on retailing which has
just been issued. Out of every thousand cus-
tomers it is estimated 240 are below ten years
of age. Those who sell children's books, there-
fore, really may consider twenty-four per cent
of the p<opulation as potential customers.

The Publishers' Weekly
Paper Strike Threatens

"T'HE possibility of a paper strike that would
* involve 100,000 workers is looming up for
May 1st. The manufacturers are asking a 10%
reduction of the wages of skilled workers, the
elimination of a standard rate for unskilled la-
bor, and the abolition of overtime for Sun-
days, holidays and other time over the reg-
ular number of hours each day. The unskilled
workers have had two reductions during the
past year and the skilled workers one. The
first cut embraced both classes and amounted
to 15%. In January, unskilled workers had to
take another cut of 8 c. an hour. The con-
ferences are being held between the unions and
the manufacturers.

The Jingle Contest

DODD, Mead & Company recently offered
a prize for the best jingle about "Yollop,"
George Barr McCutcheon's most recent book.
The best contribution was received from Mile
Ray Phelps, c-o. Paul Elder's, San Francisco :
A story both timely and touchin'
Is "Yollop" by Mr. McCutcheon ;
With its ludicrous theme
It unveils with a scream
A new ''bar" in George's escutcheon.
The next best jingle was composed by Mrs.
A. F. Murdough, 198 Marion Street, Spring-
field, Mass. :

"Yollop" by George Barr McCutcheon,
Tho' small, is a book that has much in,
It will help you to greet
Any burglars you meet
Without even weapon or bludgeon!

Jail For Book Borrower

JUSTICE has at last overtaken the man who
borrows books and "forgets" to return them.
A book-borrower of Babikon, a suburb of
Zurich, has been sentenced to two days' im-
prisonment and a fine of $8 plus the value of
the book he failed to return. The Magis-
trate in passing sentence said: "A book is a
family utensil, like furniture, and is neces-
sary for the welfare of the family." ,

Bibles For The Blind |

THE American Bible Society announces
that it is bringing out a "small handy vol- :
ume" of Scripture selections for the blind,
according to the New York Evening Post.
The pages are 7 by 13 inches, and the vol-
ume will weigh about a pound. A complete
Bible, prepared in the embossed system used
for the blind, weighs about 150 pounds and
comes in from 11 to 58 volumes.

; Editor, Publishers' Weekly:
i Your article in the April ist issue of your
I paper on "The Present State of Book Manu-

I -unfortunately nearly all of your statements are
I true.

Hlowever, as the responsible head of a plant

question of price is a secondary consideration
and that of quality the first, I w'ould respect-
fully ask if our books are included in your
general criticism? If they are, I would gladly
meet a committee of librarians or any other
body wlho may be interested in the improve-
ment, where possible, of American bound books,
and have a frank discussion from the side of
the reader or user of books and if possible
find a remedy for the complaints in your
article. Respectfully yours,

Rare Books, Antographs and Prints

ENRY WATTERSON bequeathed his
library and pictures to the Louisville
Public Library.

Charles D. Abbott of Haverford College,
Haverford, Pa., is gathering material for a
life of Howard Pyle, the artist, and will ap-
preciate it if any one possessing letters or in-
formation will communicate with him.

The library of the late Col. Millard F. Bing-
ham of Easton, Md., embracing books relating
to Napoleon and his wars, the Civil War,
general American history and miscellaneous
literature, will be sold by Stan. V. Henkels in
Philadelphia April 26 and 27.

The gift to the University of California of
Herbert Howe B'ancroft's library of 60,000
volumes and 500 manuscripts rich in material
concerning the history of the Far West and the
recent formal announcement of the gift of
Henry E. Huntington's famous library to the
people of Southern California raises the State
of California to a proud position so far as its
literary possessions are concerned.

The first intei-national exhibition of etchings
in this city will be held by the Brooklyn So-
ciety of Etchers at the Anderson Galleries dur-
ing the remainder of this month. It will pre-
sent a comprehensive view of the best con-
temporary work of America^! and foreign
artists and will give the opportunity to com-
pare the work of native artists with those of
other countries.

An autograph letter of Bismarck's addressed
to the Prussian Minister of War, Gen. Bronsart
von Schellendorf, December 24, 1886, contains
words that are almost prophetic: "If God
wills that we shall be defeated in the next war,
then there can be no doubt that our victorious
opponents will halt at no expedient to prevent
us from getting on our feet again — at least for
a generation — just as they did in 1807. . . .
The present German Empire would not remain
intact after a lost campaign, as witness the
Reiohtag election and partisan ascerbities.
which prove how readily patriotism is for-
gotten when partisan interests find out it is
desirable to court favor abroad. A victorious
France would find our opposition parties equal-
ly servile as did Napoleon the Rhenish
League in his day."

The private libraries of Louis Mohr of
Chicago, the late Mary L. Rogers of Boston,

and other collections, comprising library sets,
first editions, manuscripts, publications of
famous presses, Americana, ornithological and
colored plate books, oriental paleography and
miniatures, were sold at the American Art
Galleries April 11 and 12, 948 lots bringing
$57,979- This sale immediately followed that
of the Butler first editions and the same lively
competition and good prices characterized it.
William R. Hearst was present at several ses-
sions and was perhaps the largest buyer. The
outstanding lot of the sale was a "Common-
place Book" in the handwriting of Charles
Lamb containing some seventy small quarto
leaves consisting of extracts from Garrick's
plays, poems, notes and comment, which
brought $2,650 and went to Charles Sessler of
Philadelphia.

On May 2 to 6 inclusive the library of the
late Theodore N. Vail of this city will be sold
at the Anderson Galleries. It was generally
supposed that this splendid collection was the
property of the people of Morristown, N. J..
as it was bequeathed to them under conditions
which apparently were not complied with.
This will undoubtedly be the most important
sale of the season in this country as the library
contains the Four Folios of Shakespeare, the
Second and Third from the library of Robert
Hoe; a large variety of the choicest colored
plate books by Aiken, Cruikshank and Row-
landson ; an extensive collection of the first
editions of Dickens and Thackeray, the former
with manuscripts and original drawings ; the
Kilmarnock Burns, "Paradise Lost" with the
first title-page, and the editio princeps of
"Imitatio Christi"; a large collection of auto-
graph letters and relics of Washington includ-
ing a complete set of the "Dictionary of Arts
and Sciences" with his autograph and book-
plate in each volume; original letters of John
Eliot and a copy of his Indian translation of
the Bible, and much Americana including many
lots of extreme rarity. Collectors and dealers
will need to work quickly, for the short an-
nouncement gives no time for delay.

Several readers of this department have
called our attention to a catalog of sixteen
pages, without a bookseller's imprint, purport-
ing to list "rare, limited and privately printed
belles lettres and classical literature" and
stating that orders would be limited to "educa-
tors, lawyers, doctors and members of the
learned professions." A single glance is suffi-
cient to show that the person issuing this cata-
log is embarking on dangerous waters and

April 22, 1922

1 185

knows it. A closer examination reveals just
the class of patronage that is solicited; for in-
stance, of Bums's "Merry Muses" the cata-
loger says: "He (Burns) gathered the folk
songs of the countryside which were fast dis-
appearing in oblivion, and set them before an
admiring world. Many of them were such as
a nature that they could not be published with
his collected works. . . . The rarity of the
work will merit the appreciation of those of
mature age." Of "Ananga Ranga" he declares
that "it is impossible not to admire the delicacy
with which the author has handled an exceed-
ingly delicate subject." Of "Poetica Erotica"
he states that "the text of the verses printed
before 1800 manifests to us, quite clearly, the
change in literary expression from the time
when writers used plain language to express
their thoughts. Since i8do there has been
much fine erotic verse, but the poets use a
more discriminating vocabulary and a subtlety
of thought that differentiates them from the
apparent frankness of the earlier times." He
terms "Aphrodite" the "frank and ardent ro-
mance of a famous courtesan who prides her-
self on her freely chosen place in society; the
tale of her passions, her romances and her in-
trigues with the Queen's lover." We could
make other quotations even more illuminating
but we prefer to use the less objectionable.
We are informed that 'when an order with an
inquiry about a book that was not on the list
was sent it brought back the reply, "We have
pretty nearly everything that is interesting and
worthwhile but why write when you are so
near. Come in and see us. This is the best
way." These are not the earmarks of the
legitimate bookseller trading with "educators"
and "the learned professions," but rather that
of the purveyor of the forbidden, the prurient
and the pornographic. God forbid that he
should masquerade as a rare book dealer. And
if trouble comes to him, as it will sooner or
later if he continues, booksellers will find
worthier objects for sympathy.

Summer's the Time for Books!

The bookstore has merchandise that
people will get great pleasure and
profit from in the summer. It is a
pleasant duty, as well as a merchan-
dising necessity, to bring this ener-
getically to the readers' attention.

People connect books with their sum-
mer plans only when brought home
to them by display advertising, by the
timely sending out of catalogs, by
excellence in window displays and by
the readiness of the store inside.

A Matter of News-Moment

What do you expect to find when you read a
book page? News first — books are the most
important commodity in the world— mind molders.
When a real, **go-getter'* book heaves into view,
it is a matter of news-moment first; review and
discussion afterward. The eagle-eyed editor of
The Daily News Book Page and his competent
staff of scholarly rovers are ever on the alert for
Honest-tO'Goodness books.

This book, who wrote it, what it's about, why
it's worth while — these things the book readers of
Chicago have learned to look for in The Daily
News Book Page — because they find them there.
Dependable book news, intelligent book reviews.
Reviews that ponder without being ponderous —
not the **exhaustive" kind that exhaust.

Book News — Book Discovery! The Daily
News Book Page has pioneered in those fields —
and earned the reputation and following it enjoys.

GENTLE JULIA

By BOOTH TARKINGTON

A companion book to Penrod and Seventeen.
Julia Atwater, the ''prettiest girl in town/' was
so devastatingly kind that each of her numerous
admirers felt that he was the favored one. Each
dangled hopelessly, yet hopefully.

Julia was afflicted with relatives, the most try-
ing being her niece, Florence, who, like Penrod,
was immensely fertile and diabolically energetic.

From Julia with her gift for dress, her dis-
tracting coquetry and her disarming beauty, to
Noble Dill and his fellow unfortunates Hving in a
haze of rosy infatuation, Tarkington has pictured
a new group of people you will recognize at once.

The Book of the Hour

STAMPED WITH

Alchemic Gold

THE MAPvVEL OF THE HOUR

When the Scientific American Publishing Company put out this new
book on the subject now so popular — RADIO — they wanted a
cover that would give a touch of distinction and suitably visualize
the character of the contents.

Naturally they specified— ALCHEMIC GOLD

1. They had to have a material that would stand rough handling.

—ALCHEMIC GOLD gave it to them.

2. They had to turn the book out on time because it was on a timely

subject.

— ALCHEMIC GOLD being dry the moment it leaves the press,

helped to make this possible.

3. They wanted a gold-leaf effect, without excessive cost.

— As it happened, gold-leaf would have cost them five times as
much as Alchemic Gold ; or dinary imitation gold-leaf, twice as
much.

Since Alchemic Gold did all of this for them it surely will be of service to you
on some of your current publications.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED ABOUT ALCHEMIC GOLD

No blanking out is necessary, even on pattern cloths.

With Alchemic Gold no sizing, laying-on or rubbing^off is necessary.

Alchemic Gold will not tarnish, rub off nor lose its lustre. With it, your
binder can produce for you a publication of which you can be proud at an
astonishingly low price.

Ask your binder to show you samples or send his name and we

''A Laugh on Every Page

A GUIDE TO

MEN

BEING ENCORE REFLECTIONS
OF A BACHELOR GIRL

by HELEN ROWLAND

FOREWORD BY FANNY HURST

Helen Rowland's newest and sprightliest book — a masterpiece of flashing
satire. A book for wives — as a guide to husbands; for spinsters — as a
guide to matrimony; for men — to secretly chuckle over their own follies.
Here man is turned inside out like an old coat, with all the seams
showing yet handled so sagely that he can only grin and admit the truth.
A brilliant foreword by Fanny Hurst.

Read ^em and chuckle

"In order to be popular with
men, a brunnette must be
brilliant, rich or beautiful — ^but
a blonde doesn't have to be any-
thing but a blonde.'*

"Nothing bores a man so much
as to have a woman give him
all her love, when he only
wanted a little of it."

"Love is misery — sweetened
with imagination, sahed with
tears, spiced with doubt, fla-
vored with novelty and swal-
lowed with your eyes shut,"

"Somehow, the moment a man
surrenders the key of his heart
to a woman, he begins to think
about changing the lock."

"I hold every man a debtor to his profession,

Copyrights and the Register
Thereof

IT is a fortunate circumstance when a life
Avork can be crowned by the fulfillment of

a life aim, and this will be the happy out-
come of the career of Thorvald Solberg,
Register of Copyrights, in case the pending
copyright bill becomes law within reasonable
time.

On April 22nd Mr. Solberg completed his
seventieth year, and on June 30th he will com-
plete his twenty-five years of service as
Register of Copyrights, which «had been pre-
ceded by thirteen years of earlier service,
1876-1889, in the Library of Congress under
Librarian Spofford, part of tihat time as li-
brarian of the law lilbrary of Congress.

Mr. Solberg has been the only holder of the
post of Register of Coyrights, which was
created as of July i, 1897, by previous legis-
lation. At that time Mr. Spoffbrd's long
service, inclusive of the handling of copyrights,
had come to an end and a new librarian, John
Russell Young, had 1)een appointed. Two
years later, on the death of Mr. Young, Her-
bert Putnam was made Librarian of Congress,
and both Dr. Ptitnam and Mr. Solberg have
since worked together in Ibehalf of copyright
progress. It was Mr. Solberg who drew, un-
der the librarian's authority, the first memoran-
dum on which was based the discussion of the
conferences whose outcome was the copyright
code of 1909. The Librarian of Congress has
been unwilling that the library or copyright
organization should become responsible for new
legislation, but Mr, Solberg has unofficially
given the greatest possible service in the prep-
aration of the bill which will make possible
the participation of America in the Interna-
tional Copyright Union. This has been the
Ultima Thule of Mr. Solberg' s hopes and de-
sires, and all friends of copyright may hope
and desire that his labors may be crowned by

tile enactment of the bill which will bring us
into this family of nations.

When Mr. Solberg assumed the post of
Register there was practically no organization
of the office. Since the registry of copyright
in the clerk's office of the many District
courts thruout the states had given way to
registration in Washington, Librarian Spof-
ford had for years personally handled copy-
right applications, often placing the receipts in
a drawer of his desk in such careless fashion
as to lead to the unfounded (suspicion when
his accounts were finally audited that there
had been more than carelessness. The growth
of business necessitated the help of others, but
it was left to Register Solberg to begin an
office organization, which now includes about
a hundred faithful employees, in hearty co-
operation thruout, appointed without reference
to political considerations and holding their
jobs by merit alone.

The returns from copyright fees have reached
approximately $150,000 a year, and during the
quarter century more than $2,000,000, have
been paid into the United States Treasury,
more than covering the direct expenses of the
office.

The copyright bill, the preparation of which
is coincident with Mr. Sollberg's quarter cen-
tenary as Register, will, when pasised, be the
crown and culmination of his endeavors to
assure for America its proper place in respect
to literary property, towards which end he
has labored for years.

Pros and Cons on the Copyright
Bill

THE copyright code of 1909, continuiiig
from the miscalled international copy-
right measure of 1891, made a bar against
the) entrance of America into the International
Copyright Union. The manufacturing clause
proved of little use to the typographers and has
since been entirely outgrown, and it has had the
indirect result of inducing Canada to enact a
manufacturing clause modeled upon ours and
intended to prevent American exports into
Canada.

The measure pending before Congress is
the text originally printed in the Puni.iSHin^s'
Weekly for January 21, 1922, wih the ex-
ception of alterations in Section 5. These
are omissions made because, on the authority
of the director of the International Copyright
Union, Professor Rothlisberger, it was thought

I2l6

The Publishers' Weekb

that the provisions now omitted would still
bar entrance into: the Union. These provisions
limited the extension of copyright to works
"thereafter firsi published," i. e., after the
President's proclamation, and to countries
which provided reciprocal relations.

The revised Berne Convention granted full
international copyright thruout the Union to
existing as well as future works, without re-
gard to reciprocifty, and on this broad basis
international relations have been based. "Law-
ful acts heretofore done within the United
States or rights in copies heretofore lawfully
made," previous to the President's proclama-
tion, are specifically protected by the language
of Section 5, so that the extension refers only
to w^orks of which no American use has been
made. In other words, the law is not retro-
active, in the sense of recovering authors'
rights which have lapsed, but simply recog-
nizes rights which are not challenged, while
the specific provision in the International Con-
vention exempting mechanical music reproduc-
tions from any "retroactive" protection doubly
safeguards that important industry.

The delay in the introduction of the bill
arose from the agreement between the
Authors' League and the International Typo-
graphical Union leaders that the measure
should not be pressed until the tariff had come
to the front. Objection to the introduction
of the measure was withdrawn when the tariff
schedules were published, on the understanding
that hearings would not be called for or the
bill pressed for passage until these more press-
ing matters of legislation were out of the way.
The illness of the chairman of the House
Patents Committee has also made immediate
hearings undesiralble, but doubtless there will
be opportunity for full statements of opinion
later on. A few points in the bill will be
seriously debated, but the whole consensus of
opinion is in favor of its early passage in
the ensuing session, and it is to be hoped, in-
deed, as elsewhere suggested, that this triumph
may be had within Mr. Solberg's term as
Register of Copyrights.

While the questions of copyright protection
and of tariff duties should be absolutely dis-
tinct, they are, nevertheless, often confused
in theory and entangled in practice, and it
may be -well to summarize briefly the statistics
involved in both questions.

The manufacturing clause, which the printers
originally preferred to tariff protection, has
done less for the printers than was expected

In the more than dozen years since July i,
1909, only 4274 English titles have been regis-
tered for ad interim protection. These are
mostly for articles in periodicals, one English
publication alone covering Z7^ titles of articles.
Of independent book titles, only 1873 were
thus entered, and of these but 1241 had copy-
rights completed by deposit of copies of
American manufacture. It is estimated that
possibly 200 of these did not legally obtain
copyright by full compliance with formalities.
Thus, not more and possibly less than 100
books a year have been produced under the
ad interim feature of the manufacturing clause.
These figures, however, do not take into ac-
count the number of books, probably much
larger, of such notable authorship or other-
wise sure of sale that type was set and print-
ing done previous to the simultaneous publica-
tion of the book in England and America, so
that no ad interim entry was needed. These
are booiks which would naturally have separate
American editions, because of the probabilities
of sale here, so that in respect to these the
manufacturing clause is almost of negligible
importance.

In comparison with this, the figures of Amer-
ican exports and Canadian imports of books are
significant. In four years our exports of
printed matter to Canada have nearly trebled,
reaching in 1920, the latest year for which
figures are available, a total of $6,529,667.
Most of this was in periodicals, tho fiction, gen-
eral literature, text-books, Bibles and prayer
books entered largely into this international
trade, the books as such approximating $1,000,-
000. The Canadian law now pending includes
periodicals as well as books in the manufac-
turing clause, following our own precedent
and under this provision serials, as novels, and
other contributions published in periodicals
would forfeit copyright in Canada unless manu-
factured there. This would check American
typographic work to that extent, vastly out-
weighing any benefit from our own manufac-
turing clause.

Our exports of printed material to Canada
more than balance our imports of such ma-
terial from the United Kingdom, which for
1920, amounted to $4,878,367, of which less
than one-third are in any competitive class.
To what extent these figures would be in-
creased without the manufacturing clause is.
of course, indeterminable. It remains true, as
above suggested, that the large figures for
books ot English origan would be of books

April 29, 1922

1217

naturally published in American editions. The
moral is easy to be drawn. Unless we repeal
our manufacturing clause, Canada is likely to
enforce a manufacturing clause against us
and the result to American printers, as well
as publishers, will be far out of proportion to
any benefit that can come from copyright or
tariff restrictions intended to bar out English
publications.

The one provision in the copyright bill which
involves serious contest in the Committee hear-
ings is that included on the instance of pub-
lishers and against the protest of librarians,
i. e., the proviso that libraries may import
original editions of English books only in case
the, American publisher "has within ten days
after written demand declined or. neglected
to agree to supply the copy demanded." This
phraseology was intended as a compromise be-
tween publishers, who take the legal view that
the American market, conveyed by assignment
of copyright, necessarily implies the sole right
to import as well as publish, and librarians,
who hold that the privilege given by presdous
copyright bills of importing copyright books
without restriction as well as duty free should
not be circumscribed. The publishers' view
is in strict accordance with the theory of
copyright which gives the author or his as-
sign the exclu&ive righti to control his books
for a divided territory as well as for a specified
time. The librarians' view is that if the
author is paid his royalty on the original
edition there is no reason why there should
be a commercial bar on the part of publishers,
whether English or American, against its free
export and import.

Authors are disposed to take the view of
the publishers, that the author may divide his
copyright as he may desire and assign to pub-
lishers such division as in his judgment may
best provide for marketing his wares. This
has been the trend of English legal decisions,
and the British Society of Authors has re-
ceived from its counsel an opinion which, in
general, supports this view. This opinion is
also strongly held by Director Rothlisberger
of the International Copyright Union, the
highest world-authority on international copy-
right. It should be noted that the citation of
the Tauchnitz series is not in point, for* this
is a reprint and not an original edition, and
the contest here centers on the permission to
import original editions and not reprints. It
is to he hoped that neither publishers nor li-
brarians will take the position that if the de-

cision on this clause] is not to their respective
liking they will oppose entrance into the Inter-
national Copyright Union. Whichever side
should win in this controversy, it would be a
stultification, indeed, if the other side should
endeavor to block our entrance into this fam-
ily of nations by opposition to the main pur-
pose of the bill.

New
Convention Headquarters

THE fire at the New Willard Hotel,
Washington, has necessitated the
transfer of the convention hall for the
daily sessions to the new Hotel Wash-
ington in the same block facing the
Treasury Buildihg. The Hotel Wash-
ington is admirably suited to the needs
of the Convention and is very conven-
iently located. While the New Willard
management at first hoped to take care
of all reservations made up to April
22nd, word comes as we go to press
that, owing to the damaged condition of
the rooms, only about half of the reser-
vationis can he taken care of. The En-
tertainment Committee, of which Simon
L. Nye of S. Kann & Sons is Chairman,
will look after all necessary transfer of
hotel accommodations and have the
designations ready for reference on the
arrival of the members.

Undoubtedly Numbers Count

THERE has been unanimous opinion that
Washington was an ideal selection as a
place for the 1922 Booksellers' Conven-
tion, and the announcements both for program
and for entertainment leave nothing to be de-
sired. All that is needed now is the full re-
sponse of the book-trade.

Beginning with the Boston Convention, there
has been a steady crescendo of interest in the
Conventionls, with the result that the discus-
sions have reached more people and left a
wider impress on trade progress. That the
health of bookselling in face of general trade
difficulties has been largely due to a reawakened
trade consciousness and constructive ideas that
would not have had a hearing except for the
Conventionis must be acknowledged. From
every point of view of ^personal gain and trade
improvement, the Association needs and de-
serves the full attendance of everyone who can
reach Washington on May 8th.

The Publishers' Weekly

An Alluring Invitation

THRU the courtesy of James F. Meegan of
the Rare iBook Shop, the privileges of the
Racquet Club can be secured' for about twenty
members. The Club is situated at i6th and L
Streets,, four blocks from the White House
and six from the Hotel Washington. All the
rooms are single — those with bath are $3-50;
without bath, $2.50; and two rooms with bath
between, $3.00. The Racquet is the latest word
in club construction, and Mr. Meegan will take
pleasure in giviing to each of the twenty guests
a seven-day card so that they can enjoy all
of the privileges, including the dining-room,
swimming pool, squash and racquet courts,
bowling alleys, etc.

Textbooks Again Under Fire

AFTER a period of quiet extending over
some weeks, the New York Commissioner
of Accounts, David Hirshfield, has again begun
holding hearings on the subject of the revision
of American history textbooks. The meeting
on April i8th was addressed by George E.
Morrison, of Newburgh, who pointed out that
Senator Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan,
"gets the bulk of his income from the Ameri-
can Book Company." Comissioner Hirshfield,
to the amusement of those present, stated that
he might call for this Company's books, as he
thought it was a British owned corporation.
Charles Edward Russell stated that he had
been approached twenty-.five years ago by a man
who wanted to interest him in revising text-
books so that the American Revolution would
appear like a family row. Mr. Russell said
that the man bad been sent from England to
aid in forming an alliance between this country-
and Great Britain. Later, Mr. Russell said,
"I was amazed to find that the histories had
been revised along the lines suggested by my
visitor and that since then the books have been
making less of the Revolution and the war of
1812."

Freight Hearing for Publishers

THE Official Classification Committee on
freiglht rates grantcfd a hearing to the
National Association of Book Publishers on
the freight rates for textbooks, in less-than-car
load lots, the committee meeting on April 19th
in New York. The association pointed out the
need of a lower classification in order to give
all possible assistance to the distribution of
books, and instanced many views of the present
situation that would make this peculiarly im-
portant to the ultimate consumer. The brief
for the publishers was presented by Frederic
G. Melcher, supported by William E. Pulsifer,
of D. C. Heath & Company, and by Mr. Lin-

coln of the trafhc division of the Merchants'
Association of New York. A strong letter on
the subject was contributed by J, W. Crabtree,
Secretary of the National Education Asso-
ciation at Washington.

English Book-Trade Strike

EVEN with Americans familiar with the
strike as an industrial weapon, it is diffi-
cult for the American book-trade to realize
the disruptive complications that came to the
English book-trade thru the strike of their
packers that ran for seven weeks. The dis-
tribution of books was thoroly demoralized
to the great loss of authors, publishers, book-
sellers and the public. The settlement has
proved a victory for the publishers, appar-
ently because they bad the better case and
had enough cohesive strength to fight it
thru. There has been now a reduction of
five shillings a week from the standard
packers' wage and agreeipent for a further
reduction spread over twelve months and
amounting in all to 14s. 6d. After April 23rd
there is to be no further reduction for the
next nine months and a three months' notice
of any reduction to apply for a revision.
These terms had been practically agreed on
a fortnight before the strike terminated, but
were held up by the determination of some
of the pu])lishers not to take back the staffs
who were out on a strike. This situation
was ultimately worked out, and the men are
again at work. Special meetings are now
taking place in the Printing Trades Council
with a view to adjusting the printers' wages.
The last two reductions were 5s. in October
and 2s. 6d. in January. The master printers
are now in conference to decide what further
reductions they should claim.

Library Talk by Radio

FOR their radio pnogram of April 3rd the
St. Louis Posi'-Dispatch invited Dr. Arthur
E. Bostwick, Librarian of the St. Louis Public
Library, to speak on library matters, thus
giving new evidence of the value of radio in
connecting the book and news of the book with
the gaieral public.

Canada To Louvain

CANADLAN publishers have had compiled
for presentation to the new library of
Louvain University a representative selection of
their publications dealing particularly with the
history, geography. Life anid economids of
Canada. The idea bf the presentation origin-
ated with Frank Wise, formerly president of
the Macmillan Co., Limited, of Canada. He
has been instrumental in securing the donations.

A Distribution Plan That Reaches Every Type of Reader

No bookish American has ever traveled in
England without noticing that on every
hand books and periodicals are thrust
prominently to his attention by a chain of book-
stalls and bookshops whose adequacy in equip-
ment and efficiency leaves an indelible impres-
sion. If the most pressing problem of the
book world today is that of distribution, then
a study of the W. H. Smith & Son stores

Weekly of April 22nd, the business developed
from the newspaper and periodical end so that
the constant inclination of the firm has natur-
ally been to keep the popular price features to
the front. The displays at the railway stations
did, in fact, create so much of an outlet for
popular fiction that the publishers were .prac-
tically put into the business by the increase
in distribution. In this way an increased mar-

should be one of the first steps taken by the
book-trade of America in searching for con-
crete examples of good merchandising. The
very extent of the business shows that the
firm has used sound merchandising methods
to appeal to a broad democratic public, and <»n
this basils its growth has been directed.

As was pointed out in the history of W. H.
Smith & Son, issued in the Ptjblishi:ks'

ket was found for one volume fiction which
was still further developed by the circulating
liibraries.

In the same way when the cheap reprints
developed within the last dozen years the seven
pennies of the days before the war or the two
shilling bodks of today, W. H. Smith & Son,
became an outlet of tremendous importance,
and their order alone would be enough to make

a series successful. The railway stalls have
also been able to merchandise many types of
books other than fiction, and the English market
has, thru this and other display means, been
the outlet for much popular science and history,
such as the Home University Library and other
series.

The railway station displays of books in the
United States have in but few notable in-
stances equalled in importance those of the
suiccessful stalls of the W, H. Smith & Son
chain. An illustration on this page shows a
typical railway bookstall, the one at King's
Croiss, London. That the emphasis of the dis-
play is on books while giving full attention to
the magazines is clearly shown.

When W. H. Smith & Son were forced into
the bookshop business by the loss of the leases
on the London and Northwestern Railway, and
the Great Western, they brought to the new
problem imagination, capital and merchandising
energy that made of the change a new epoch
in the business. These 'bookshops are now a
striking feature of scores of English cities,
and such pains have been lavished on their ex-
terior and their display that they become marked
shops, even on the busiest streets. Some idea

of the beauty of the store fronts can be had
from the photograph of the Cheltenham Shop,
here reproduced. The lettering of the sign is
characteristic, and the four words— Booksellers,
Librarians, Newsagents, Stationers — give the
description of the various aspects of the busi-
ness as carried on; bookbinders, printers aiid
advertising agents, might be added. Over the
door is a beautiful stone carving, on which can
be read: "The world so loud and they the
movers of the world so still," and lower over
the entrance in hand-carved lettering runs the
appropriate quotation from Wordsworth,
"Dreams, Boo'ks are each a world and Books
we know are a substantial world both pure and
good."

The plan of the entrance of this shop is
worthy of careful study. The principal shelves
for display are brought close to the glass in a
fashion not often used in the United States,
but one which permits the display of many
books, any of which can be removed at a mo-
ment's notice if there are not duplicates inside,
and it is also a type of display that can be
changed in minor details without disturbing the
whole structure. Because these windows are
set back a little under the edge of the wood-

work, they can ^ be well illuminated and made
readable from top to bottom. The display
cases round the central pillars serve as admir-
able show space for miscellaneous material
from the stationery department.

As one turns toward the door, one linds
periodicals openly displayed in the entrance
way, so that there need be no passerby so un-
used to specialty -shops that he feels any
hesitation to make his purchase. This con-
tinouis effort to keep lin contact with a great
democratic public is characteristic of the Smith
stores and undoubtedly one of the great reasons
for their success. In spite of the care and
exacting taste lavished upon the store front,
there is still the feeling that thru the doorway
anyone, however humble, is welcome to enter.
This same impression is carried out inside, and
one will usually find the popular priced books
and periodicals just inside with stationery run-
ning down along one wall, popular books on
the other side, with the more substantial books
toward the rear. At the far end is an alcove
for the circulating Hbrary, which is a feature
of every store and a very active feature.

A less elaborate front is shown in the picture
of the Whitchurch Shop in London, particu-
larly interesting for the way in which the half
timbered architecture has been used for the
building and the shop made harmonious with
the general plan. This shop has an entrance
where even more goods are displayed than in
the Cheltenham Shop, post-cards as well as
periodicals being out in the open and protected
by the overhang of the woodwork. The hang-
ing lantern with ishop monogram, which is used
in all the stores to catch attention farther down
the street, can be seen at the corner of tbis
Whitchurch Shop.

Another shop that deserves special mention
is the one in Stratford-on-Avon. Here Smith's
have taken their old shop and have made it into
a Judith Shakespeare Museum. The renova-
tions have been in charge of F. C. Bayliss.
superintending architect for the company, and
have been done with scrupulous care. The old
building had been refaced in the nineteenth
century, tho the interior has been left almost
intact, and it has now been given a rebuilding
that makes it a notable feature of High Street.
The selling of goods is confined to souvenirs
of Stratford. On a vacant site on High Street
they have built a bookshop of Elizabethan istylc
such as the bard himself might have rejoiced
in. The interior is finished in old oak, and
from a true minstrels' gallery the circulating
library looks down on the rest of the store. ^

With this large group of stores it is possible
to plan advertising of an individual and effective
kind, and signs and display slogans suitable
to the different seasons of the year are pre-
pared toy the Publicity Department and sent out

to the many stalls and shops. Some of these
iiave been beautiful in execution and very ef-
fective in their sales argument. The inter-
locking system is admirable for the train-
ing of good managers for the different stores.
The staff numbers 15,000, and there are 1,500
railway bookstalls and 250 bookshops estab-
lished thruout England and Wales as well as
in Paris, Brussels and Ostend. The head-
ciuarters alone employs 1,500, and there are 37
branch wholesale houses. Besides their own
stalls and shops, the company reaches 5,000
newsdealers dailv.

The Collector's Guide

itT^HE Collector's Guide," a practical hand-
■i book of British and American bibliog-
raphy, compiled 'by Seymour de Ricci and pub-
lished by The Rosenbach Company of this city,
undertakes to fill a need not covered by any
other reference work. It covers "two or three
thousand British and American books which
fashion has decided are the most desirable for
the up-to-date collector." No man could com-
pile such a list of rarities that would not be
open to some one's criticism and it is not to be
expected that its information in regard to values
can he exact, final or permanent. The compiler
has, however, made an interesting and useful
l>ook, bringing a great deal of bibliographical
information into compact, accessible form that
was scattered and not easily obtainable before.
