It Is a Love Sad Fellow That Nick Lucas Sings About When He Plays His Guitar
By Walter D. Fickman ITT"! FELLER must be In an I awful shape when he has iGzLI only one girl on his mind, It's something terrible to be In love these days, especially when Nick .Lucas Is around with his sobbin’ guitar and his love slcl: songs. The broken up papa and the goaway mamma seems to be the leading persons in the land of music these days. Lucas has Just turned out a r.ew Brunswick record. On one side you will hear “I’m Tired of Everything But you,” written by Isham Jones, and on the other side you will find, "I might Have Known,” written by Lucas hlmgelf. Nick in the "Tired' numbe* simply spills the lonesome blues all over the lot. He admits he has nothing but misery and that the only girl in the world Is on his mind. Then he rubs it in by singing that he ts tired of being all alone and even when he sleeps he dreams about this gal. Am telling you that this song win not cure the love sick blues, but it sure will make a guy sympathetic with one who is in love. When you play “I might Have Known,” you will find that Nidk still has the love sick biues, because the singer admits that he might have known that he might be left alone. But there is hope for thin lad, because he admits that some day he might be able to forget the girl who left him flat. Here are two regular Nick Lucas numbers, full of moonlight sentiment

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW No Monkey in This Novel but Some Monkey Business
By Waiter D. Hickman At— LTHOUGH there Is a monkey in the title of this novel, “The Monkey Puzzle,” yet the monkey never appears. But there are a lot of things that happen which the world or at least one part of itt would call "monkey business." J. B. Beresford is the literary parent of “The Monkey Puzzle," which is placed in an atmosphere of an English village. The publisher is Bobbs-Merrill Company of Indianapolis, and the puzzle soils for $2.50. The monkey puzzle is just this: To what extent does a community actually by gossip and standards of living demand of people who do not live by the standards of the community? The monkey business that makes possible the puzzle is this: Is the kiss of a married woman, given by the woman to a man not her husband, Is that a crime. When Brenda YVing kissed Abby. a painter whose genius was wrecked
Industrial Helps The Indianapolis Publlo Library through its technical department lists the following three good books on motor transportation: "Economics of Motor Transportation,” by Grupp. Valuable book on the use of motor trucks for haulage, including truck selection and operation, cost, legislation, etc. “Motor Transportation of Merchandise and Passengers, by White. Practical guide to the economical operation and maintenance of trucks and busses. “Motor Truck Transportation. ’ by Ijane. Devoted chiefly to freight transi>ortation.
by drink and a poor will, she did It. as far as she was concerned, as a sort of a medium of forcing the weak artist to use his talents in the creation of great works of art. The fact was, the artist so accepted the kiss at first. Jus ta kiss extended in the form of appreciation. But the village saw the kiss. That is, one person did. And then some puzzle resulted. The village indicted Brenda and Abby, the artist. They read anew meaning into the kiss. The village gossips had no valuation on a kiss given to inspire a man to create beauty. So the village got mighty busy. “The Puzzle'’ And that was the monkey puzzle that Tristlam YY'ing, husband of Brenda, was compelled to solve. His wife told him about the kiss two minutes after It was given. The gossips held this to be a high crime. What care they about Inspirational kisses. They knew nothing about the strange soul and be
ing that lurks in the weak form of an artist. A kiss was just a kiss—that was just what it was. And being an inspirational kiss, of course, it was all wrong because a married woman gave it in the moonlight to a “no account artist.” And the village made the solving of this puzzle the big problem of Tristlam Wing. And before it was solved, a fine English home was nearly placed on the rocks and a finely Inspired artist was “murdered.” The village had to be obeyed. Even if "murder” of a genius was necessary, the village must have its way. The village never called the “death” of Abby as “murder,” they termed It a “good thing." Anti so the Indictment existed even in death. It scents to me that Brenda is the literary double of Shaw's “Candida.” Both women had a great artistic and womanly mission, but mixing the two would result anytime in a monkey puzzle. It seems to my way of Judging Wondered Why Breath Was so Bad Miss Rose Dittmar, Brooklyn, writes:—“Even though I brushed my teeth and used a mouth wash. f tnrnPfl

at all. After taking Carter’s Little Liver Pills for a while the trouble started to disappear.

literature that “The Monkey Puzzle” does contribute a finely drawn problem. And In the problem you will discover three interesting personalties at least —Brenda, Tristiam anJ Abby. The three were placed upon the block of public judgment by narrow minded citizens who did not understand that there are other decent standards of life besides their own.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) contends that gasoline is the cheapest commodity in the world, when considered in relation to the service it gives. It contends further that gasoline is not a major expense in the operation of an automobile. In support of this contention, we present below, the experience of Mr. Royal S. Kellogg with three different types of cars, as reported in the August issue of Nation’s Business. Mr. Kellogg has devoted himself chiefly to cost accounting in the News Print industry. He is a highly skillful enthusiast in arriving at accurate costs.

JOf this the cost of gasoline was only 1.7 Cents per Mile, or a fraction less than 12 Vrfo of the total operating cost It is worth your while to consider these figures with care. We suggest that you keep an actual, detailed record of the cost of running your car. In this way you can know to a certainty how little money you spend on gasoline in relation to the total operating cost The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) continually concentrates the energies and facilities of its great organization on keeping the price of gasoline at a low level, to render the greatest service possible to the thirty million people of the Middle West, and to maintain the quality of its products at a high standard of excellence.
