WRITTEN by a reporter of the Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Evening American, this latest of novels on the life of a modern scribe has very little to recommend it. The story starts nowhere, gets now-where. The style is tabloid, frequently illustrated with actual newspaper stories of the most Moronic cast. Attempting, evidently, to give an impressionistic picture of the emotions of a rather sensitive reporter in the pay of a sensation-trusting city staff, the book falls short of the mark, and this despite the inclusion of various little novelties, the use of actual newspaper heads at the top of each page, the running together of several words in the foreign manner, and the common use of such perfectly good nouns as "ire" and "war" as verbs.
