DIME NOVELS COMING BACK
In Eighteen Month* "Nick Cart#r?
H?i Had Sales That Have Been
Record Breaking.
Kick Carter has come Into Ma oj^p
aguln. The king of th<v* "paperbacka"
hue made a record- breaking return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago ills sales began to mount steadily
until the entire supply of Nick Carter
hooks was exhausted, says the Sun.
ills return to fame was unexpected.
It wag not the result of an advertis
ing campaign, for the publishers Of
the paper-hound boobs do not adver
tise. ? They depend instead for the
sale of their hook* on the lists printed
in the hack pages of each volume.
And Nl<*k Carter was not the only
meinber of the "paperback" tribe to
return. All the^ old favorites ? Laura
Jean Llhhey. Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. ?
D. K. N. South worth and Augusta J.
Kvans ? have "come haek" .surpris
ingly.
Five years ago everyone w#* a will
ing to predict that the movies hud
killed the production of cheap hooks.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
ly from the screen than from the print
ed page? and the price was th.e same.
Publishers of the paper books are
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired of the motion picture
or whether a new class of renders haa
arisen. Of one thing they are certain,
though, the demand for tb? 10 *"<1 IB*
cent book has increased fourfold. If
it were not for the Increased coat of
production these publishers would be
reaping the harvest of their Uvea.
Stories of American life ? as seen by
Bertha M. Clay and other writers Of
her class ? and detective stories are
most in demand. Fortune-telling
hooks and letter writers also have a
large steady sale. "Praam** booka
were never ao popular as tKey are to
day, their publishers say.
PETE HAD OBEYED ORDERS
Literal-Minded Soldier Came Near Get*
ting His Commanding Officer
Into a B^fl Mesa.
There Is a certain young officer who,
according tp his own story, Is thanking
his stars that General Pershing had a
sense of humor.
"Some of my men were Polish, and
better soldiers never lived, but I guess
in Poland life has been oue. long, sad
story," Kaid the oillcer. "Anyway, I
never ran across, a bunch who took
things so literally. One. night the Ger
mans sent out a three-inch shell that
landed square in the trench. In the
morning I told one of my men, Pete,
we called him, to take it away.
"'Where shall I take It?' he asked;
" 'Oh, anywhere,* I answered peev
ishly, 4put It to bed In Pershing's
?tent.'
"A little later a brother ofllcer came
along and said : 'The old man wants
you, and there's something doing.'
"I couldn't imagine what was up un
til I stood before the chief. He eyed
me sternly and then pointed to his
bunk, and would you believe It, there
was that blamed shell. Pete sure had
obeyed orders. Well, I thought I was
In for it, but Pershing suddenly be
gan to smile. He said : 'I Just Wfint to
caution' you not to order Pete to cap
ture Berlin until the rest of us are
ready to go with him. He might go
and do it,' you know.' " ? Rehqboth

All That Affected Her.
That the Empress Eugenie 1h not
prone to hrood sentimentally over the

occurred some years ago. She visited'
Windsor castle, a palace in which In
the golden days of the empire she was
received as an honored guest. Those
who accompanied her on this second
visit hovered near her, fearing that
she would be overcome with the con
trast between the past and the present,
especially when she viewed the apart
.ments fitted up foe. her use and which
had not been changed. But It was
merely her artistic sense that was of
fended. The hangings of the huge
bed were of Imperial purjple with the
green of Napoleon, and the ex-empress
remarked disgustedly, "Toujours ,ces
affreux rldeaux !" "Always those
frightful curtalps."
No Woman Passenger Pilots.
In England women will not be given
permission to serve as pilots on pas
senger airplanes. An official of the
air ministry gave the reason for this
decision to a writer on the London
Sketch as "physical disability as well
as nerves," declaring that women's
nerves are much more likely to give
way than men's.
"I think there are no women In this
country capable of passing the air
ministry's test. If one does succeed,
however, she will be permitted to fly
her own private machine, but whether
she will he allowed to take a friend
with her Is a point that remains to be
decided.
"In any case women will be barred
as pilots of passenger-carrying ma
chines."
