With the heart of the city In ruins,

served at several stations.
Hundreds of homes have been
thrown open to those made destitute
by the blaze and all public buildings
available will provide sleeping and
eating quarters for several thousand
persons. Although not many resi
dences were In the path of the flames,

they were being fed with sandwiches
and loaves of bread. Inside many of
the buildings, including church build
ings, near the scene of tbe terrible
blaze, women and men worked tire

Too Much Sex in Modern

Into Everything, Asserts
Colgate Professor.
Denver, Dee. 9.—Too much sex and
j not enough true love is the chief fault
I of modern fiction, according to Dr.
W. H. Crawshaw, professor of litera
ture and dean of Colgate college, Ham
ilton. X. Y., who spent several days In
Denver recently on his way to the
orient.
j
I Professor Crawshaw blamed present
! day "jazz literature" for many of the
I sex problems that confront society, j
"It seems to me there is loo much
of the so called eternal triangle of sex
complication in modern fiction and not^
enough of the divine trinity of love,”
Professor Crawshaw said in an inter
view here.
"We hear a lot of jazz music, and
some brilliant men are trying to put
Jazz Into history and even talk of re
writing the Bible The soviets are try
ing to put jazz into government."
Professor Crawshaw sees hope for
the world in modern education, how
ever, and declared that whenever the
world has needed it conditions have
' produced a lasting literature that has
brought about reformation, regenera
tion and rejuvenation. He believes the
world is not degenerating either in
morals or literature.
"Modern education seems to mo to
be gradually producing an aristocracy
of learning," Professor Crawshaw said.
"While we may not live to see another
Brook Farm community of Emersons
and Thoreaus and thinkers of their
type, our colleges are developing
young Emersons and Thoreaus and
sending them out with enormous up
lifting Influence in the life of the work
aday world.”
Professor Crawshaw said he aaw no

sign of the long looked for ' great
American novel” appearing immediate
ly, but believes the material for such
a work is available. "The man who
writes the great novel,” the professor
said, “will be a man not only of great
education, but of great human sym
pathy. His heart will he as wide as the
world and his human understanding as
deep as the blue sea. In fact, T think
probably he will be a newspaper man.”
