Miami, Fla, IReb, T.—Accom- panied by his private secretary and half a dozen friends who ‘had but recently made up a gay party at Miami beach, the body of Julius Flcischmann, milllonaire philan- | thropist and sportsman, was on route to New York today for funer- al scrvices Monday. Later it will be lald to rest in the Fleischmann vault in Spring Grove cemetery in Clnein- nati. The funeral party left last night in three coaches, including Mr. Tleischmann's sprivate car “Middle- neck,” attached to a Florida east coast train. Simple memorial services were held yesterday afternoon at the new Fleischmann estate at Miami, Flori- da. Many of those at the station when the train left with Mr. Flelsch- mann's body were polo players who saw the 53 year o player die of acute cardiac dilation {n a game at the Flamingo club Thursday. The polo tournament in which Mr. Fleischmann was playing when death claimed him will be resumed | at once, some of the players said, | for they felt he would not have i wished it to stop.

In all the succesa books it means that one s due for a great career as an in- ventor, but in practical life that one investigates the only good alarm clock in the house and has at least slx wheels left over] But in spite of such deterring experiences one can't help getting excited over . books which reyeal the apparent simplicity of doing complicatod things. Mak- ing furniture or tin can toys or fondant sounds so easy that one looks with a superior ‘and speculas tive eye on the most artistic pro- ducts of craftsmen—until one tries it. Now, for ipstance look at this newspaper you are reading, You have some hazy notion that some- one telegraphed some news to some« one else and that by some unknown process it miraculously appeared on your back porch, obviously through the agency of a small boy, but ae- tually through the work of hun- dreds of people, Can you put the paper down and without looking, tell what kind of type is used in the headlines, how they arc arranged on each page and how much information you get from cach? The chances are that you can’t. It is so well done that you are perfectly unaware of the tech- nique. And yet we have a whole book on just that subject, News- paper Make-up and Headlines by Radder: It also includes very ex- cellent advice on copy reading and the law of libel, And of course you read the edi- torial with even less thought of how it was done, You either agreed with the editor or thought he was all wrong and wondered about telling him so. And yet that too has a very .[definite technique and object. In Tditorfal Writing by Spencer there is a most stimulating discussion et the ethics, policy and practice of writing different types of editorials, such as the human interest kind, or ones on politics or local problems. Besides telling one just how to do it and what to avoid, it gives very interesting examples of editorials that went and those that didn't and why. And then there are the special feature articles which make Sunday papers such good reading. They rzay he about some famous person or anew invention or just an or- dinary person who has an extraor- dinary experience, Bleyer in his Special Feature Articles discusses ways of making these popular by choosing a subject everybody is in- terested in and putting on a clever catehy title and writing it in a live- Iy suitable sfyle. One gets so in- terested in the examples at the end of the book that the principles sink in automatically, Why doesnit one skim the paper and skip the advertisements espe- cially ‘when one s too financially strickerl to be intcrested In buying? It's simply because they are so ar- ranged that when your eye lights on them you read without any very conscious intention, - This “making an advertisement pop” is almost as much due to the printer as to the man who writes it, In Making Type Work by BenjAmin Sherbow shows how a prosperous, dignified, but ut- duil looking paragraph can be made irresistibly readable by using |a variety of type, plenty of white | space, and proper balance. It would be fun to see if one could do 1t wouldn't it? Well, the jogical place to begin is the school paper. Journalism in High School by Charles Dillon Is an excellent gulde- book for the making of a peppy but worthwhile publication, It tells about getting it supported by the students, about edlting, copy read- ing, making headlines, editorial writ- ing and closes with a chapter on what you may expect if yon take up journalism as a career. The chap- ter on words to be avoided 1s par- ticularly good. OF course it is high- Iy improbable that any of your fav- orite exprescions will be included in | the forbidden “journalese’” but it is | entertaining to sce what some peo- | ple do. After you have whetted your ap- petite with that you will want to read the really standard all around | book on journalism which is News- paper Writing and Editing by Bleyer. It tells how the news i8 gathered and coordinated, the Theadines | made, | planned and the whole finally put into type, the description of an emergency and its handling. As an example he tells how the news of the Titanic disaster | paper was to go to press and the | way they got the alition out almost | on time. The Young Mana and Journalism by Lord also gives a fair all around { 1ations as well as its satisfactions. A dbook for Newspaper Workers | by Hyde is particularly good for its | discussion of mewspaper English. {The chapters on proof reading and handling picturés and cuts are also | excellent. Opportunities in the Newspaper Business by Lee contains short lec- | tures on the kind of work done by the country press, the small town | paper and the big metropolitan daily. Its Problems and Development by Haines and Horpe giveg sensible ad- vice on making a smalf town news- paper both a sound business and a public asset. The chapter on selilng advertising space is especially suggestive, In fact the business side of news- paper work is something that often seems more important than the way the paper is gotten up. Sclentlfic | Circulation Management by Scott discusses methods of building up circulation and keeping it large. His remarks on keeping up the esprit de corps of the wogkers down to the smallest newsboy are especlally stimulating. He algo deseribes more spactacular methods such as special features, contests, and premiums. Postal regulations, and sample forms for accounts, reports, and tions to solicitors are aiso given. Newspaper Accounting emphasizes the Importance of check- ing receipts and suggesis headings for classifying accounts well as the arrangement of the page | Particularly interesting is | The Community Newspaper, | project | | picture of the business with its tribu- | instruc- | Swindell | peting with the widely read metro- | up the river on a flatboat to Spring- | eame in just five minutes before the | - EATNO SWEETS EVERY MAN SHOULD HAVE TWO INCOMES The average person spends years in fitting himself to make money and not so much as an hour in learning how to make that money work for him.

Profession of Journalism edited by Bleyer is a collection of egsays on such questions as editorial policles, newspaper morals, dramatic and literary eriticism, and personal experience of cditors. The Brass Checkk by Upton Sin- clair is an impassioned arraignment of the editorial policy of most of the newspapers of the United States, es- peclally the more conservative ones. He feels that the press is absolute- 1y sold out to capital and rotten to the core. The very intensity of his attack weakens his case enormously but it is only fair to look at his side of the matter and take some of the criticiems to heart, ‘When we speak of newspapers we think usually of the more prominent dailfes in English. It is surprisnig to find what a Jarge number of thriving journals are printed in for- cign languages for circulation among new immigrants. Robert Park_las made a very careful study of the whole subject in his book The Im- migrant Press and Its Control. After a discussion of the backgrounds of immigrant culture he shows where many Amerlcan papers fail to reach foreign readers, either becausd their matcrial is too local in character or too difficult to read. There ar¢ also over two hundred negro weeklies in the United States which vary from unimportant publi- cations of very local type to some quite influential journals, It is in- teresting that they are all weeklies becausge of the impossibility of com- ing cofmic sketches, The bits from his “Thrill_book” are particularly good reading, The Gentle Art of Columning by Edson shows why' certain things make people laugh and describes some of the more successful types of humor such as the comic verse, punning paragraphs and jingles. Every journalist™ knows that a solemn unquestionably sound and ir- refutable argument though it fill three columns will have but’a frac- tlon of the influence of one lively, pointed cartoon. This was very clearly demonstrated by the enor- mous influence exerted by Thomas Nast in Civil war days and later. The story of his grotesque woodcut caricatures and their consequences i3 very interestingly told in Thomas Nast, His Pictures and His Period by Albert Bigelow Paine. Closely related to the newspap are the other periodicals, The 2 tory of the Century Magagne Is told by one of its staff in Jovs and Tribulations of an Editor by Tooker. Amusing stories are told of his ef- forts to correct and verify proof which resulted in the conclusion that clergymen fnvarfably misquote the Bible, and that the most familiar object may be inaccurately described. Mr, Tooker has a mest genlal and delightful personality which makes tis book a real find among blogra- phy. Another which one shouldn’t miss 18 Garrulities of an Octogenarian Editor’ by Henry Holt. The title is a bit forbidding, as one thinks he must sound a bit “tottery” at that iage but he most certajnly does not. His reminiscences and his opinions on modern problems, though mel- lowed by his kindly personality are very much to the point and touched with humor.
