The semi-erotic or sex book has a lowering effect on the morals of the country in general and on the youth of the country in particular. Our feeling is that there is a bigger demand for romantic fiction. There is always an interest in the mystery and detective story. The historical tale also will always be in vogue, as well as tales of adventure." The J. B. Lippincott company of Philadelphia, observed that the ex- treme type of fiction is "more widely talked about than read," and that "the clean, romantic, or stirring adventure tale will always command the wider public.
