Say Young People of Today Want Well Written. Serious Books Indianapolis, July 31 —Gray sages who regard kids as a necessary evil ever since the ago of bobbed locks and jazz, were surprised today to learn that there are a lot of deep thoughts under the axle grease pompadours and scant dresses. The present day youth is becoming quiett highbrow, according to the head of a popular book department here. “The sugar coated, trashily written romance of ten years ago are things of the past,” declared this authority. . "Young people these days ask for well written, serious book®. “They read many books translated from foreign languages. And they want books that deal with heavy | problems of today too. They want to read books that are talked about of, , their literary value. “Two kinds of people read the so-1 called sensationally written books. I “There’s the. highbrow class seek- : ing good literature from purely a literary standpoint and the curious class seeking a thrill. “But I think that both classes absorb a little of each.” Chester Johnson of Gary is here to attend the big fair this week.

Columbus, July 31 —Rabbits feet, horseshoes, four leaf clovers, all other charms of Lady Luck — Bow to your new brother! A human ear, preserved in embalming fluid, is the pocket piece of a candy salesman who travels this section of the state. He says it brings him luck. Anyway he has sold more candy since he I started carrying it then he did before. Occasionally when sales prospects are rather dim and the possible customer loses interest the drummer pulls the ear from his pocket, care lessly and hurriedly placing it, begging the customer’s pardon. Curiosity is excited and frequently leads to sale.
