OUR LOVE OF SHAM
Why American Novels Lack Life
Jikeness and Grip.
SENTIMENT VERSUS REALITY.
One of Our Artisti Thinks That Our
Publio Demands a False Optimism
Instead of the Compelling Facts of
Life That Give Power and Charm.
In a recent Interview Ellen Glasgow,
one of our popular American novelists,
stated:
"I think that In America we demand
from our writers, as we demand from
our politicians and In general from
those who theoretically are our men
of light and leading, an evasive Ideal
Ism Instead of a straightforward fac
ing of realities. In England the de
mand Is for a direct and sincere In
terpretation of U'e. and that Is what
the novelists of England, especially the
younger novelists, arc making. But
what the American public seems to
MISS KT.T.KN GLASGOW.
desire Is the cheai>est sort of sham oi>
timlsm. And apparently our writers—
a great many of them—are ready and
eager to meet this demand.
"I don't know which is the more
tragic, the fact that a desire for this
sort of literary pabulum exists or the
fact that there are so many writers
willing to satisfy that desire, but 1
do know that the widespread euthu
slasrn for this sort of writing is the
reason for the inferiority of our novels
to those of England, and, further
more, I think that this evasive ideal
ism, this preference for a pretty sham
Instead of the truth, is evident not
only in literature, but In every phase
of American life.
"Look at our politics! We tolerate
corruption. Graft goes on undisturb
ed, except for some sporadic attacks
of conscience on the part of various
communities. The ugliness of sin is
there, but we prefer not to look at it
Instead of facing the evil .and at
tacking it manfully we go after any
sort of false god that will distract
our attention from our sliame. Just
as In literature we want the books
which deal not with life as it is, but
with life as It might be imagined to
be lived, so in politics we want to
face not hard and unpleasant facts,
but agreeable illusions.
"Of course," said Miss Glasgow,
"we must distinguish between a real
ist and a vulgarian, and I do not see
how a writer who is absolutely with
out humor can justly be called a real
ist Consider the great realists—Jane
Austen, Henry Fielding, Anthony
Trollope, George Meredith. They all
! had humor. What our novelists need
J chiefly are more humor and a more
serious attitude toward life. If our
i novelists are titanic enough they will
j have a serious attitude toward life,
: and If they stand far enough off they
will have humor.
; "I hope," Miss Glasgow added, "that
America will produce better literature
J after the war. I hope that a change
for the better will be evident In all
' branches of literary endeavor."
The Co-operative Plan
A Farmer Tries It on an Auto
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1916, by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.
1 was driving across the country
with-a liorse and buggy when I came
to the wreck of an auto in the ditch,
and a farmer was tinkering at it. lie
had a sledge, crowbar, an ax. a cold
chisel and a screwdriver and had work
ed up a nice little state of perspira
tion.
"You appear to have a wreck here,"
I said as I drew In my horse.
"Appear!" he shouted as he looked
up. "If tiiis Isn't the durndest wreck
anybody ever saw I'll eat my hat!"
"How did it happen?"
"How does anything happen to an
auto with a fool driving it?"
"Was It yours?" I asked, scenting a
story.
"One-fifth of her was mine up to
last night Now the whole sad remains
belong to me. Did you ever hear of
the co-operative plan among farmers?"
"Lots of times."
"Waal, then, this was co-operation hi
buyln' and runnln' an automobile, and
this is one of the results of it The
other result is that I am about $300
out of pocket and have lost a widJer
who was goin' to be iny wife. If you
want to hear all about it I'll tell you,
for I guess it hain't any use to tinker
any more at this blamed old thing."
The farmer took a seat on the mor
tal remains of the auto aud drew a
long breath and proceeded to say:
"There was Tom tvans, Joe Baxter,
Jim Williams and Si Perkins. They
are all farmers and live about here.
They are ail married men, and each
one has a gang of children. As for
me, I am an old bachelor, but I was
a-sparkin' of the nicest widder woman
in this county. The four men I have
mentioned come over to my house one
evenin' a month ago, and Tom Evans
he asks if I would go in with 'em on
the co-operative plan to buy an auto.
'"How much?' says I.
" 'A thousand,' says he.
•• That's $250 each.'
"•Jest so, Sam.'
"And the auto was bought?" I
queried.
"She was, sir. She arrived here glls
tenln' lijte a star, and she excited the
wonder of folks for ten miles around.
We got a feller from town to show us
how to run her. and in about a week
we was all ready to glide around^ the
country. Rein' I was a single man and
mightily In love with a widder, they
said I might take the auto out first,
which was very decent of (hem. I felt
sure I could run the machine as good
as any man In the state. It was a
bright moonlight night, and the whip
poorwllls were singin' and the katy
dids chirpin', and that widder woman
should promise to be mine before we
returned."
"And did she?" was asked as the
farmer heaved a long sigh.
"She didn't stranger, and I'll tell
you why. We had gone about a mile
as steady as an old horse when the
auto shied at a stone In the road, ran
through a rail fence, wrecked the auto,
and the widow gave me fits."
"It gets Interesting." I said.
"Kinder interestin', stranger—kinder
so. We got a machinist to tinker $20
worth of tinker, and the old machine
could ran again. Then it was Tom's
turn. He has a wife and five children,
and they all piled In. They was clip
pin' along as happy as larks when
they came to a crossroad. The auto
was for keepin' straight ahead, Tom
wanted to turn to the right and his
wife to the left and the result was
that the machine run into and knock
ed over the guidepost and then tried
to climb a feuce. The whole family
took a spill and was scattered for
twenty rods around. No one was kill
ed. and there was no broken bones,
hut the bruises are yet blue, and Tom
still walks bent over like an old man
on account of the jar to his spine. By
this time we had all got skeery of the
machine: but, it bein' now Jim's turn
and he not wantln' to be called a cow
ard, he took out his family for a prome
nade. As the other accidents had oc
cured at night, Jim went out in the
| afternoon. He thought there might _bo
' somethln' In the night air that affect
ed the old critter. There was seven In
the family, and they was climbln' the
hill beyo!*l the red ridge when all to
once the auto gave a snort and stop
ped In her tracks.
" 'What's the matter?" asked Jim's
wife.
" 'Durned If I know, but she's got to
goT he answers.
"And she did go, sir—she went back
wards. There was screamln' and yell
in' and swearin', and Joe's wife slap
ped his face, but nothin' did any good.
That auto kept on goln' backwards
until it dumped them all In the river,
which was about three feet deep at
that time. They was shook up and
bruised and half drowned, but they
were lucky for all that. They waded
ashore and left the old auto lyln' on
its back In the river."
"But you got it out again?" I asked.
"Yes. We had to," was the reply.
"It was In tryin' to get the old critter
home ag'in that she suddenly bolted
aud run Into a telegraph pole and
wrecked herself as you see her."
"And she won't be tinkered up
again?"
"She can't be. There's nothin' left
to tinker, unless the blacksmith thinks
he can make Ave wise men out of the
five fools who bought her and lost
about $230 apiece. I used to think co
operation of farmers was a beautiful
thing, but durn my cats If I ain't
through with it!"

When making angel cake be sure
to beat the whites of the eggs stiff,
until you can turn the dish upside
down and the whites of the eggs will
not move. You will find your cake
almost always will come out right and
will be much lighter.
In baking bread be sure when rising
it forms a thin crust before putting
into oven, and when taking out of oven
listen and see that it does not "sing,"
because if it "sings" It is not done.
When baking lemon pies do not have
your oven too hot, as the lemon will
curdle and boil over your crust.
