——■Weekly Book Review Mellon Lets Us in on Some Tax Questions and Dr. Spero Writes 304 Pages on Postal Problems

By WALTER D. HICKMAN Those who went to get expert thought on taxation and the labor movement in a Government industry now have the opportunity to consult Andrew W. Mellon, secretary’ of the treasury and Dr. Sterling Denhard Spero, Research Fellow in the New School for Social Research. New York. Those who want to study the tax problem as considered by Secretary Mellon will be able to do so in “Taxation: The People's Business,” a new publication by the Macmillan Company. Mellon advances the argument that “high surtaxes are becoming less and less productive of revenues to the Government and at the same time are injuring business initiative.” Continuing, lie says; “All business involves risk. If business loses, the Government shares not at all in loss; if business succeeds, the Government takes more than half of the s ain . What can long withstand these odds? “The spirit of initiative may still be there, but the present high surtaxes are driving it into idleness. America will become a nation of followers, not leaders. There is no escape from the conclusion that a tax system having this inevitable result must be changed." Mellon in a number of chapters discusses the fundamental principles of taxation, treasury policies, revising the taxes, surtaxes, taxing energy and initiative, estate taxes and other kindred problems. As the tax problem is demanding attention during the presidential campaign, Mellon’s new book gives the reader an opportunity to approach the subject in plain English and minus the gingerbread of technical talk. Employe Organization In reviewing books of the nature of “The Labor Movement in a Government Indstry,” a study of employe organization in the postal service, by Dr. Spero and published by George H. Doran Company, I do not pretend that I digested every word

Women Snore Loader and More Artistically, Says Pullman Expert in Nocturnal Art

But Not So Often, Porter Finds in Fifty-Four Years’ Experience. By STEVE HANNAGAN, UFA Service Writer "TTI EW YORK. Oct. 21.—Women \ snore louder than men. However, more men than women are given to snoring. But when a slumbering woman tunes up her baritone notes, they reach a pitch that echoes above the rumble of a railroad train. At least so remarks William Jenkins, 68, who wears more service stripes on his Pullman uniform than an approved zoo zebra, and who has mad© a detailed study of snores since ho became a berth tender fifty-four years ago. Knows ’Em AH “Yes, sir.” says William, gesturing with his best thank-you-for-tho-big'-tip smile, “I know all about snores. Many a night they snore like a saw mill and keep we awake in my own berth. And that’s loud.” Jenkins, who has portered for the all Pullman celebrities—even Peggy Joyce—has been on the run between New York and Atlantic City for twenty-four years. But he would not name his favorite snorer. “More people don’t snore than do," explains William. The portly men and buxom women produce the saxophone snores while the lean and slender types snore the rasping, whistling noises—as true as a $3 cornet. Heavier types are more likely to participate in the disturbing nighttime melody than thinner ones, says Jenkins, who a<bls that fat people “snore sitting up.” With ten five-year service stripes on his left arm, Jenkins Is more than a snore expert—he is a good porter. When George Pullman was president of the company that provides hotels on wheels, he remarked that “Jenkins must have a life-time position with the company. He Is never to be retired or pensioned." Porter at 14 Jenkins, who was bom In slavery In Virginia, has been a Pullman porter since he was 14. He is married and has a daughter In college. “What do you do when people complain of others’ snoring?" he was asked. “Just wake ’em up and give ’em a fresh start in the hope they will turn over,” he replied. “You know we porters can’t hold hand over a snorer’s face.” Newest Sliades For evening, reds, violet and purples are the newest colors, with delicate pink very popular, too. Corded Wool Corded wool is a serviceable material for winter wraps and coats and is available In plaids or plain fabrics.

Kasha Cloth Kasha cloth Is frequently used for lining coats and is very practical, since it is one of the warmest of lightweight fabrics. What does BUZ dol

thing—presenting a pretty stiff problem in' language that the layman can understand. It seems to me that the reader who is interested in this subject will find that Spero has presented a complete study of the labor movement within a publi cutility. As far as I know this subject has never been so the learned gentleman has written. I got the idea early in this treatise

DEVELOP YOUR PERSONALITY Inferiority Complex

By EVANGELINE WEED Director of Personality Institute, Boston. sis" questions of yesterday, this and subsequent lessons should assist the reader in isolating his own peculiar delinquencies. Dozens of other questions should come to the reader’s mind, prompted by these that have been selected from the regular Personality Institute course. 1. Am I as critical of myself as I am of others? 2. Do I apply the same standard of criticism to myself that I do to others? 3. Do I give ready advice to others, and fail to convince myself with my own advice? 4. Then, do I lack self-confidence? Do I know what an inferiority complex is? Do I know that I can readily eliminate that complex? 5. Have I ever done anything that gives me reason to feel proud? 6. Am I adaptable? 7. Am I in a rut because I am mentally lazy? 8. Am I frightened by strange people and strange environment because they require me to be mer*""y elert? 9. Am I inconsiderate, Do I walk down the left siue of a crowded sidewalk? Do I fail to move up in my seat on a street car to prorive room for another? When 1 Scoutmasters Open Course Eight weeks training course for local scoutmasters is under way. Scout Executive F. O.

that the author has done an amazing treated at length or from the viewpoint of an expert. The first part of the lxiok deals with the rise of the carriers’ association, the postal clerks’ struggle, unrest in the railway mail service and the like. ' In discussing “Humanizing the Postal Industry,” Spero writes: “Will H. Hays’ administration seemed to mark the coming of anew era in postal labor history. Hays was the first postmaster general to see the futility of the old way of clmling with the meployes. He saw that workers’ organization had come to stay and that It hail demonstrated its ability to function despite official let or hindrance. lie shaped his labor policy in largo measure with these facts.” You will find that this book completely traces the employe organizations within a government industry. Book Notes The following notes have been sent to me from Houghton Mifflin Company: On the 10th of October, Houghton Mifflin Company published the following books: “The Torch,” a new novel by Albert Kinross; anew edition of “The House of the Seven Gables;’’ three juvenile stories, “The Radio Gunner, published anonymously, "Little Pioneers of the Fir Tree Country,” by Mabel G. Cleland, and "Stories of the Birds From Myth and Fable,” by M. C. Carey; anew anthology by John Drinkwater, “An Anthology of English Verse;” “The Art of Helping People Out of Trouble.” by Karl de Schweinltz, and “The Psychological Theory of Value,” by George Binney Dibblee. “The Little French Girl,” by Anne Douglas Sedgwick, which Houghton Mifflin Company published recently, has been selling a little short of two thousand copies a day. The prediction of publisher and critics that the book would take Us place as one of the leading novels of the year seems to be justified In the fact that the sixth printing, making 85,000, has been ordered within six weeks of publication.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO THE GAY LITTLE MARQUISE, CARE THE SECRET DRAWER. I wonder if you have noticed, Little Marquise, that I haven’t written very often lately. It is because when I am far uwaV from the little secret drawer wiiioh is the resting place of my communications, I always feel as though I should not write for fear those very sacred documents would fall into less sympathetic possession than yours. However, now I am quite sure I shall soon be back in my apartment packing up to return here, and I .shall put this letter in that drawer wh'fiT" it belongs. The resting place Is getting a little overcrowded, consequently, some of my effusions will soon have to be weeded out and placed in a safety deposit vault, to be opened only after my death or some time when I feel, as you did, that all my secrets must be burned. I have come up into the attic of my old, home, Little Marquise, to be alone, and once more to get my mind arranged and my life ordered. Mother is sleeping under the care of her old maid, who has administered an opiate to her. She insisted upon sitting up all night alone with her dead. She would not let any one, not even me, stay with her. I will have him such a little while, I>*slie.'' she said ns she raised her face to mine with a pathetic smile. “I-et me stay with him tonight. Tomorrow I shall take up life without him, but tonight, dear child, let me have him all to myself.” I wish, little Marquise, that you had left some of those letters, in which I know your heart had spoken. I am sure that when your king died and you could not mourn him, you had to place in the secret drawer some memento of your grief. Poor little, gay little Marquise; you had to smile outwardly when your heart was breaking; that was the great penance for your sin. That one letter which you left to me frho found It in the secret drawer of the old desk, told me much more than was written on its page-s. Yours was the most sorrowful, the most tragic of partings, aril someway when I saw my mother enter that silent room as though it were her own particular right, my thought went back to you, dear little Marquise, and the words that you wrote: “They tell me lam going to die, and so I am taking hack my confidences and laying them one by one, on the Are, for no one, not even those who love me best, may know, as these yellowing sheets of paper might tell, that the gay little Marquise was beloved by a king.” They had not known your joy, little Marquise! They must not know your sorrow. You had to bear It alone. Under this guise, nothing is more tragic that Death, when he comes to bear away the one you love. In that great moment after my father's death when Jack took me In his arms, and I know there was perfect sympathy between us. all thought of living my life without my husband, _of not being able If I should be left as is my mother, to say; “Tonight, let me have Jrim alt to myself!” had completely gone out of my mind. Consequently, when my thoughts went back to you. and

Martha Lee Says — Table Talk Reveals Mach About Marriage

Somewhere among your acquaintances is a couple whose dinner-table conversation runs somewhat like this: She—Laura’s new cook left today, and she doesn’t know what on earth she’ll do. He—Uh-liuh. Old man Jones fired another clerk today. He's on a rampage.

LOCAL GIRL INJURED Miss Magenta Ryan in Hospital at Detroit. Miss Magenta Ryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Ryan, 2266 N. Meridian St., is in a serious condition at the Ford hospital in Detroit, as the result of being struck by a truck there Sunday evening. Miss Ryan and her mother left Indianapolis Wednesday by automobile, to visit friends in Detroit. M. A. Ryan, who was called to Detroit, telephoned for Russell, his son, to come at once. The brother left Indianapolis Monday night. Miss Ryan has been active in charity and welfare work in Indianapolis and was president of the St. Margaret's guild.

I remembered that you had had no right to mourn, that you were still called “the gay little Marquise,” while all the while your very soul was clamoring to be called “the sorrowful little Marquise,” I knew that my place was with Jack, whatever the years might bring.

She—'Zat so? Grace Brown’s not invited to Mrs. Black's party. What" do you think of that? He—'Stoo bad. Looks like a good football game this week. And so forth. Petty gossip. Small talk. t Each interested in his own affairs and those of his associates. No sympathy. No effort to interest each other, or to seem interested. Before marriage both would have made every effort —It would not have taken much —to keep the conversation bright and interesting. Now they drift along, growing farther and farther apart. Much can be learned about the success of a marriage by the dinnertable conversations. Growing Cold Dear Miss Lee; I have been married three years, and I still love my husband, but we are growing: further and further apart, and I am afraid of what might happen. Even now, I don't love him as I once did. I am sure he is true to me. and I am true to him. But he seems to be losuiff interest in me. Why. we can hardly carry on a conversation any more. He talks about his business and I talk about the household, and we don’t pay much attention to each other. He doesn't seem to care a thing about the house, although he used to care so much. What can I do to hold him? We have a two-year-old baby, and I would hate for her to grow up without her father. WORRIED MOTHER. Do you remember how, before you were married, you used to be interested in everything your husband told you? And do you remember how you used to keep the conversation turned on matters that interested him? It worked then. It probably would work now. At least, you might give it a trial Less talk about petty household details probably will bring more interest. Fourteen and Love Dear Martha Lee; 1. Do you thmk a girl of 14 or 15 really can be in love? 2. Do you think it is wrong for a boy to kiss a girl of 14 or 15 good night? 3. Do you think it wrong for a girl of 14 or 15 to go with boys without the eonsent of their parents? STAR O. L It's possible, but highly improbable. 2. Yes. 3. Os course.
