SCORES BRITISH NOVEL. Max Pemberton Says It Does Not Tell a Story. LONDON, July #).—Max Pem- berton says the trouble with modern English novels is that they do not tell a story. Conan Doyle, Stevenson and Rider Haggard won a great following be- ause they told stories, and the pub- would {nstantly respond today to novelists who invent and have the necessary technique to carry inven- tion through, so Mr. Pemberton be- lleves. “The public is tired of shetks and ||| hysterical women, veiled obscenity and all the nastiness and poverty of the modern novel as it now is being written. The story is the thing the nts.” SAVINGS | DEPOSITS | MORRIS PLAN BANK Under Supervision U. 8. Treasury 1408 H ST. N. W.

Dono- van has worked out a series of tax rates and the amount they will yleld to guide the Commissioners in trim- ming the estimates. The tax rate for the current calendar year, how- ever, will not be determined definite- ly until the Senate takes action on the second deficiency appropriation bill, A probable rate of $1.80 on $100 of assessed valuation has been tenta- tively set, it is understood, but if the second deflciency passes with the $345,000 ftem for bathing pools, the rate is likely to be raised to $1.85. The rate last year was $1.70. . Color Blindness Hereditary. Color blindness, recent studies seem to indicate, is hereditary and is the result of a defect in the central nerv- system, says the Popular Science zine. It occurs oftener among boys and men than among girls and women, but in boys it is frequently only color ignorance, rather than an inherent defect. As a corrective, specfal attention now is being given in the public schools to developing color sense among all the pupils. SAYG.0.P.

Another effort to get action on a liberalized retirement bill was made by Representative Celler, Democrat, of New York, who presented a_priv- ileged resolution instructing Repre- sentative Lehlbach as manager of conferees for the House to report back a retirement bill forthwith. Objec. tion was raised by House Leader Til- son and by Chairman Lehlbach of the civil service committee, who ex plained that the situation had reached a state where such action could not be taken, as the papers wers in the hands of the chairman of the Senate conferees, Berries in, Nova Scotia. ‘While Nova Scotia {s not popularly thought of as a berry land, the straw- berries, huckleberries, raspberries and blackberries of that section of Canada. have really made it famous among those who know.
