jtj&.<a£ ^'^.â„¢"iwfe LAKE SHORE,, HEWS, FRID&Y* Book Revie ws By John PhtUp Morris If you find yourself in a gilded palace of sin like the Marigold Garden, the Bridge or the Sweet Shop and if you have been so fortunate as to have turned time and tideâ€"particularly the wet, wet, tjdeâ€"back to, say, June 30, 1918 and you there make a new friend, and all new ac- quaintances quickly become friends un- der those circumstances, why you just naturally take him back to your table and gladly and noisily introduce him to your gang. But if you have an old friend, a friend who is dear to, you through auld ac- quaintance and similarity of tastes and likes and, above all, similar dislikes, such friendship is an almost sacred thing that you hestitate to share promiscuously. This with a critic, or with a mere re- viewer such as I. Videlicet, a book comes to hand still hot from the press and you enjoy it and hasten to voice the enjoy- ment so all that read may run to share your pleasure. But if in some little known, second growth and bush blocked path of literature you discover a gleeful little glade you become almost unconsci- ously a hedonist and it is with fearj'and misgiving that you reveal the location. For several years I have searched out and then devoured with avidity the books of A. Neil Lyons. ^» Lacking all the necessary mass ap- peal, Mr. Lyons has never been popular- ized in America nor has fame placed his ptdestal particularly high even in his nar trve Albion, but if you are the sort of person who loves etchings rather than oil paintings and the Andante Cantabile rather than the Intermezzo and enjoy Creme D' Yvette, Carl Van Vetchen, Caviar and Cabell, if you prefer Menk- en, Hunker, Moore and Anderson rath- er than Menken, Huneker, Moore and Hergesheimerâ€"for there is a difference, if you prefer Movies to Vaudeville and would rather see a poor Eugene O'Neil playâ€"tho there isn't any, rather than the best movie ever produced, if you believe that some other political party could be planned that would be better than the two we now have with us, if you are this sort of personâ€"and sometimes if you aie notâ€"you should find the very ultim- ate of enjoyment in Lyons rather than in some valiable novel. Mr. Lyons depicts the joys, the sor- row of the London poor. It isâ€"as Dr. Brink saysâ€"all sideways sort of fun. His people are always the dregsâ€"CLARA is a flower girl who has been_ta:4ailr ARTHUR'S a coffee house of the low- est grade, Dr. Brink of SIXPENNY PIECES has a practice who pays that sum for a consultation with the prescrip- tion throwjo in, but il^i^Sjhgjjbest roseji grow but of the best manured soil so Mr. Lyons has extracted the very ottar of humor put of those"unprepossing ma- t-trial. And, yet, just as with Ottar of Uoses, the perfume and the rememberance lin- ger. Who, once having read of them, can ever forget the tale of the circus who had but one horse and painted him afresh eighth times each evenirfg so that each performer might appear to be riding a different steed and who finally diesâ€"I think from painter's colicâ€"and who when three men perform a post mortem to ease the general curiosity as to what color the horse really wasâ€"find it a zebra. Or Faithful Freddy, the soldier who had been a plumber's assistant and who stood ready to bring six betrayed fe- males to prove that he was the pillar of fidelity. â-  â-  .â- â- .-,.'. 'i^^^f^-vs^. Or the-here-unrepeatable story Jen- nie's baby in CLARA who 'ad one on Alby. • These incidents may not seem unroari- ously funny aside from their settings. As Ollyett insistedâ€"it is the tone of the thing and the style, the damned unf orget- able wonderful style. Yea, verily for sheer delight we must go to the English and seek Dodson and Birmingham and above all Lyons'. I am sorry to say that you will have trouble getting holds of Lyon's books. They are for sale in few storesâ€"tho I know Kroch has somesâ€"and contained in fewer libraries, public or private. If this review* intrigues you, and I have failed miserably ifit has not, you will manage to get hold of one of Neil's works and then, having read that«you will borrow, beg or steal the others. That is my advise and just one word more. We have just purchased a new dog and Mrs. Morris has strict, the very strictest orders not to lend none of OUR Lyones to none. John Philip Morris.

Tax exempt securi- ties are drying up the sources of fed- eral taxation and they are encourag- ing unproductive and extravagant ex- penditures by state and municipali- ties."
