MODERN PUBLIC IS NOT READING | NOVELS LATELY PARIS, Oct. 18-—Modern lifo, with its automobiles, golf, dancing and sun baths may be good for the health of the nation but it’s h¥rd on authors, says Henri Duvernois, himself a noted journalist and author of note. The public, he finds, has too many distractions, and reads few- | groupof {s invariably a man who assurance, He will not tolerate any sort of ’ handicap or limitation. In shoes he er and fewer romances and works of litei%ture. As a result, sales have fallen off, and with, them, royalties. Many a promising au. thor has turned from the pen to more remunerative pursuits, The fault, however, is not en- tirely with the public, M. Duver- nois finds. He thinks that pub- lishers, if they would cheapen edi- tions and place them within the means of all, would find the people of smll means would snap them up eagerly and thus help literature ' to maintain its place ameng the arts. e Adverusing always pays. o s s N Is 106 Years Old, But Anxious to Fly NEW YORK, Oct. 18. — Mra.
