Innumerable ladfes, bubbling with oreative instinct and desirous of mak- ing a living some easier way than by housework, are engaged in the story- writing business. They come equipped with college educations and courses in literature; they know all the arts and tricks of Introduction, dgvelop- ment and climax; every magazfne ed- itor in the UmMited States stands knee deep in their manuscripts; yet real stories are scarce as hen's teeth. But Jack Marlinspike, seated on coil of rope, smoking a short-stem. ened pipe of unspeakable tobacco, while his ship wallows through the weedy Caribbean, squeezes the souls of his little cipcle of auditors who squat around him, as Bacchus pressed in his two hands the bleeding grapes. Marlinspike is not so much of an artist as the last female analyzer of sexual problerfs in the Sunday sup- plement, but he has a better audience, an audience of Virgin ignorance, beau- tifully superst®ious, greedily credu- lous.

Special Dispatch ;o The Star. LOS ANGELES, December Thousands of Los Angeles citizens violated the law Sunday Wwith the ‘utmost unconcern for consequences, for going ‘to church, license or no li- cense, has generally been rogarded as a proper procedure for Sunday until the blue law agitation popped up. t The war between the pubjic moral regulators and the liberdls, led by the movie people, is being fought to the last ditch. Thero will undoubt- edly be.a referendum on the lifting of the ligd in this city, particularly with regard to the midnight time limit on dancing, which will give People an opportunity to express their stand on the repeal of restrictive laws affecting amusements and gay- cties of the fnnocent sort. The new police commissioner, domi- nated by Dr. Montgomery, former minister, in launching an attack upon dancing and other amusements, pleaded a sworn obligation to enforce all law. When one ordinance pro- hibiting any sort of meeting or gath- ering without a mpecial license was held to apply to all church activities, Montgomery at once sought its re- peal. The liberal members of the council blocked this attempt, hold- ing out for the repeal of the other so-called blue laws. 24— Te Prosecute Churchgoer.
