WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 : 11 Reading Lamp ABOUT BOOKS AND THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THEM A Typical Night Best Seller "THE HOUSE OF YOUTH" By Maude R. Warren. The modern girl has received a large share of attention in the litera- ture of the day--we sometimes feel a little more than her due. Her ex- ploits have filled book after book, some of them rather startling not to say incredible. In "The House of Youth" there is little that could be- fall the modern girl that does not happen to Corinna Endicott, the hero- ine. Many of the incidents have a more than faint resemblance to strik- ing moments in best sellers of the past year or two. With the addition of many experiences which the fair Corinna alone has suffered it makes a thrilling enough though somewhat improbable story. Corinna for love of a man gives up her fast-companions of whom she is the acknowledged leader; and he plays her false. When after much heartache her former lover returns, having married in the meantime, she cannot resist the temptation of a clandestine love affair with him, and at last to save her from herself she flees to Paris. There she becomes the wife "in name only" of a former member of the "brisk bunch" of which she was the leader. How they find love and happiness together completes the book. Mary Pound Taylor. A Novel of the Fascinating East "THE BLACK PARROT" By Harry Hervey. In "The Black Parrot," Harry Her- vey has not only included the thrills one expects to find in a detective story but also the glamour and en- chantment of the East of which he seems to have an intimate knowledge. The kaleidoscopic, colorful life of the seaports of Sumatra, Java, the Malay peninsula are vividly described by many picturesque word paintings so that the dramatic developments of the tale are enhanced by the splashes of local color. How Major Lestron, the famous detective, follows the trail of the -Black Parrot, a notorious robber, who helps prisoners to escape into Guiana and with his band of bandits commits a series of remarkable crimes. The story of how Lestron runs The Black Parrot to earth, his many disguises and intrigues and the tender thread of love between ILhassa Camber and the Major crowd the story and make this book one of the most fascinating romances written for a long period. The Black Parrot is a bird worth catching if you like to read detective stories with an entangled plot, roman- tic love and an Eastern setting. Jane Cornell. Adventures in *HARILEK" the Gobi Desert By Ganpat. The adventures of "Harilek" as for- warded to "Ganpat" form one of the best of the numerous stories which have been appearing lately with the scenes laid in the *Gobi Desert. In fact the plot of the story is based on apparently the same supposed exist- ence of a mountainous country in the center of the desert which was used in "Desert Love" and the descrip- tions of the place by the two writers are very much alike, although the stories differ entirely. While the yarn as a whole is improbable, each part of it bears on the truth closely enough so that the whole forms a true-seem- ing story. i Harry Lake goes to Central Asia taking with him certain records left by his great grandfather who was a noted adventurer and explorer. These records hint at a lost civilization on a mountainous plateau in the center of the desert. Finding himself free, Lake induces two adventurous spirits, Wrexham and Forsyth, to help him fit out an expedition to determine whether the remarkable facts record- ed in his ancestor's diary are true. After a fifteen-day march over the desert the party finally sights the mountains mentioned and a little later locates the cleft in the hills which leads to the terrible Gate of Death Lake rescues a white girl, Aryenis, from a horrible fate outside the gate and she leads them to a place where entrance to the country over the cliffs may be obtained. The adventurers are greeted with joy by Aryenis's people who are at war with the tribe which holds the gate. These people by the way, speak pure ancient Greek although they are tall and fair and are thought to be the remnants of a Norse tribe lost in Central Asia many hundreds of years before. The adventurers join the war and by the aid of their firearms, hitherto unheard of in this country, help the friends of Aryenis to win. There are many excellent char- acters, well drawn and of course major and minor love stories. We do not know who "Ganpat" is but may his imagination continue unimpaired if he can give us more such clean, wholesome stories. R. T. Huntington. Copyright 1923, Howard H. Seward. New Auburn Brougham Features of '24 Crop Much attention has been focused on the Auburn closed cars for 1924 by the recent announcement of the new Auburn Six-63 four-door brougham. This new Auburn has been a pace- maker for a fine lhne ot cars, say distributors. "It has set a high mark for sales all over the country, leading all other models for many weeks. It has a charm of line that seems to capture the fancy of discriminating buyers of motor cars. People nowa- days are turning to the intimate, close-coupled car for personal trans- portation." In addition © to the four-door brougham, Auburn is showing a big five to seven passenger Six-63 sedan which is a marvel of closed car luxury, with new improvements and rehnements most unusual in its price class. These new Auburns have the newest type window lifters, invisible door checks, the sedan has reading lamps, both have silk roller shades, eight-day clock, gasoline gauge, and are finished in a rich all wool broad- cloth stripe upholstery. On the Six-43 chassis Auburn has a four-door 5-passenger sedan that of- fers unusual smartness of line and finish. This new Auburn has been produced to fill the demand for a | closed car of lasting luxury that could be secured at a moderate price. Income Tax Facts Official Information, Bureau of Internal Revenue In making out his income-tax return for the year 1923 the business man, professional man, and farmer will be required to use Form 1040, regardless of whether his net income was or was not in excess of $5,000. The smaller form, 1040A, is used for reporting net income of $5,000 or less derived chiefly from salary or wages. All items of gross income must be reported. In the case of a storekeeper gross income usually consists of the gross profits on sales, together with income from other sources. The re- turn must show the gréss sales, purchases, and cost of goods sold. The professional man, lawyer, doc- tor, dentist, must include all fees and other compensation for professional services. The farmer must report as gross income the proceeds of sale or exchange of products raised on the farm and the profits from the sale of products purchased by him and resold. He must also report gross income trom all other sources. Taxpayers, in order to take full advantage of the deductions to which they are entitled, are advised to study carefully the instructions on the forms under the head "Income from business or profession."

This service is the quickest and it saves you about 20 per cent. In many cases the person you want will answer or is immediately available; if not, you can often deal satisfactorily with the one who answers. "Long Distance" will be glad to tell you more about this time and money saving service. "Station-to-station" long distance calls meet almost every requirement and the day rates are about 209, lower than for "person-to-person" calls. Evening rates are about 509, and night rates 75%, lower than day rates for "station-to-station" calls, but no rate is reduced below 25 cents. Consult the tele- phone directory for further details or call "Long Distance." 2 Bell S stem One Policy * One System Universal Service And All Directed Towards Better Service Illinois Bell Telephone Company WILLYS-KNIGHT--OVERLAND $1,175.00 F.
