T

HE east of moon-lit turrets, pagodas, minarets-the land of Romance and Adventure-beckons the white man-tempts him with its weird oriental secrets and its one eternal, haunting mystery-the Indian heart. Have you felt the lure of its exotic splendor? Have the black shadows of its narrow streets made your heart stand still? What is this mystic, gripping enchantment that holds the white man's spirit in a vise? Why does India fire your imagination and fill your mind with fantastic dreams?

Your answer lies in the matchless tales of Kipling-India's Son. Rud

yard Kipling knows the east and the meaning of its call. From the depths of his intimate knowledge and his love for this land of his birth, have come the stories and poems that have made him famous. Wherever books are read The Universal Writer is a favorite. Not only because he is a master of every literary form he has ever used-poetry, short stories, letters, essays, fairy tales and novels-but because he is the supreme teller of tales. Kipling is, first of all, a story teller. And the story is what you want. You may easily tire of beautiful words-if the story is not there. You can not tire of Kipling-for the story is always there!

The MANDALAY EDITION of the Works of RUDYARD KIPLING

For you and the thousands of other Kipling lovers who have wanted to own the works of their favorite in a set at once pleasing in format and reasonable in price we have prepared a surprise. Famous friends of Kipling-writers you know well-have written a book about him. Map makers have charted his travels. We have taken pictures of the scenes of some of his stories and of his native Bombay. We have put them all together in a beautiful, cloth bound volume of 128 pages, stamped with gold, and we are giving this book to you.

66

Since the famous de Luxe Seven Seas Edition of Kipling's works was so rapidly exhausted at $260 the set, there has been no adequate Kipling" available until the recent publication of THE MANDALAY EDITION. Every word contained in the $260 set is now yours for but little more than one-tenth of that price!

Printed from the same large, easily-read type, on the same large paper, every essay, poem and story contained in the de Luxe edition, the full 26 volumes, may now be had (bound in

the most up-to-date way-two in one) in a beautiful maroon binding for only $29.50.

To introduce this greatest book bargain of the century to Kipling lovers everywhere, Around the World with Kipling has been prepared. From cover to cover this absorbing book is full of the sort of informal glimpses of the man and his work that you can get in no other way. A few of the intimate features are listed on this page.

us that our Movie trade papers tell moving-picture studios make foreign negatives of each picture in addition to the regular domestic negative. In the foreign negative are inserted spice and vulgarity which is deemed improper for showing In this country. Some of the pictures which have failed in this country are made risqué and sent abroad to redeem local losses. Hardly the way to increase rsepect for this country or to cement friendly relations with other nations. According to the trade papers, our exports of film have now reached the astounding total of thirty-five million dollars annually. Five years ago it was only about five million dollars.

Mr. W. K. Ludlum, a New York broker, has other problems than the fluctuations of the stock market to solve. Upon returning to his home one evening, Mr. Ludlum found the following note from the maid printed in capital letters:

"MIS MOKS COULDUP SEZ ZUNZ YAKOMOM GOLERUP SEZ NOMATER HOW LET IS GONABEE GOLERUP."

Mr. Ludlum studied the note for some tmie, but finally gave it up. The next morning he asked an explanation from the maid. In plain English the note was meant to say:

"Miss Marks called up. Says as soon as you come home, call her up; says no matter how late it is going to be, call her up." There is reason for complaint, for Miss Marks is a customer of Mr. Ludlum, and when he called her he was informed that she had just left for the West.

San Francisco's Chinatown is to have its own semi-annual telephone directory. This list, the first Chinese telephone book to be published in the United States, differs from the customary directory. Listings in the Chinese book are arranged alphabetically under the names of the streets. The streets having the most number of telephone subscribers are listed first.

A group of chorus boys at the Vanderbilt Theatre, in New York City, have gone on strike. They claim the working hours to be intolerable. They were asked to report for rehearsal at the unseemly hour of eleven o'clock in the morning!

Mr. Henry Rhine, of San Francisco, California, sends in the following story, which was brought to mind by Mr. George Witten's account of Gross & Levinson's shrieks "in wails of misery" over the charred remains of their business:

Cohen, who conducted a general merchandise business in a small country town, came to the city on a visit. The morning after his arrival he stepped into the telegraph office and inquired, "Any telegram for Cohen?" He was told there was none. At noon and in the late afternoon he returned, making the same inquiry and receiving the same answer. The next morning, on entering the telegraph office, the clerk, who now recognized him, held up an envelope, saying, "Here is a telegram for you, Mr. Cohen." Cohen instantly dropped into a chair with a wail of misery and shrieked, "My Gott, my store is burned down!"

A Kansas moving-picture theater is said to get around the Sunday closing law by having the show operated for that one day, not by the owners, but by an employee who is a Seventh-Day Adventist. The ordinance, they claim, does not hold against persons who keep other days of the week as their Sabbath.

Here is an easy conundrum: My first is me, myself alone; My second, though, is claimed by men. My third are digits, flesh and bones; Count them, you'll find twice five are ten. My whole I see with joy and glee; Dear souvenirs of happy times. Your own may be but trash to me. And mine to you but foolish rhymes. The solution is such a simple one that you will probably all know it before it is printed in these columns next week.

Now Comes the

New Shorthand

For years there has been a crying need for a new system of shorthand-for a really modern system, a scientific system-one that could be written more RAPIDLY than the conventional sign systems, that would be more ACCURATE and that could be learned EASILY and QUICKLY.

Now at last it is here-the new shorthand. The business world has hailed it with enthusiasm. Already it is saving time and increasing efficiency in offices everywhere. Busy executives are using it themselves. So are professional men and women, lawyers, writers, clergymen, public speakers, engineers, doctors, reporters, students. Experienced stenographers as well as beginners are adopting it. It is used in the U. S. Army and Navy. What is the new shorthand? It is called

Speedwriting

The NATURAL SHORTHAND

You use only the ordinary letters of the alphabet -the same A B C's you have always used. Speedwriting is simply a scientific condensation of the English language, based on your natural habits of speech.

Quickly learned at home

No need to memorize a "foreign language" ef dots and dashes, hooks and curves. Once you understand the simple, scientific principle of Speedwriting, you can start using it almost at once. Amazing speed is quickly developed.

Speedwriting was originated by Miss Emma Dearborn, famous authority on shorthand. She has taught practically all systems for eighteen years in such institutions as Columbia University, Rochester Business Institute, Simmons College, and the University of California.

Let us tell you more about Speedwriting-how employers are requesting their experienced stenographers to learn it-how they are employing beginners who have studied it-how presidents of firms, sales managers and other importaut executives have learned Speedwriting themselves, in order to jot down their valuable thoughts when no stenographer is at hand-how all kinds of professional men, college students and office workers are increasing their efficiency through Speedwriting. The booklet here offered will give you detailed information and explain fully just what Speedwriting can do for YOU. SEND FOR IT NOW!
