reveal to the world the priceless vocal
gifts which nature had bestowed upon him.
Mr.. Key has told the story of the singers
early struggles clearly and sympathetic
cally. He has skilfully sketched Mr..
Caruso's gradual ascent of the ladder of
fame till he reached the notice of the
all powerful Puccini and the publishers
of his operas. the Records of Milan. Even
then the singer begged to be excused
from risking the high note in the narrative
of Rodolfo in the first scene of La Bo-
heme."
The author has done his work we'll. The
story is direct and often reaches a con-
siderable degree of literary merit. This is
particularly the case with the chapter re-
counting the last visit of the author to
the singer. when the latter was i'll in his
New York apartment and preparing to re-
turn to Italy. There is plainly no at
tempt at a dramatic touch here, but the
tragedy Of the situation is fully uncovered
and the emotion of the writer conveyed
in simple words.
There are some interesting letters in
the book, but none more awakening than
that written to Caruso by Edouard de
Reszke. after that celebrated basso had
sung in London with the famous tenor
Mr.. de. Reszke said: IT never heard a
more beautiful voice. You sing like a
god. You are an actor and sincere artist
and above all you are modest and without
exaggerations. You were able to draw
from my eyes many tears. I was very
much touched. and this happens to me
very. very seldom"
The work is supplied with a valuable
appendix. in which Mr.. Zirato has given
the list of Mr.. Carusos many roles with
the date and place of his first appearance
in each.

volume on The Gain of Personality" AS
the subtitle declares, this is "a popular
psychological statement of the practical
values of personality" 1t undertakes to
demonstrate that personality is based on
the elements of charm, force, sympathy.
symmetry. optimism and modesty; it dis
cusses the difference in personality be-
tween the man who merely is the man who
thinks and the man who acts; it deals en-
tertainingly with subjects such as indivi-
duality. self-eXpression, sincerity. courage,
enthusiasm. repose humor and sensibility.
In a word. il is a handbook for the man
seeking self-improvement. and while read
ing it we are at all times aware of the
authors belief that while NO training and
no attention can fundamentally alter the
cast or the complexion OF the mind" yet
much can be done TO give it definition
and relief. both in form and color"
The above three books all deal with
psychology in relation to the individual;
in Mr.. Ginsberg's volume. on the other
hand. we have a discussion of psychology
in its application to the group. The author
reaches the conclusion that what is known
as the general or social mind is for the
most part delusion: that there is nothing
in gathering of men to correspond to the
mind of single member of that gathering:
that while there may be unity. a general
sympathy or a group consciousness among
large number of persons. still there can
not be that power of concerted thought
OF Of consecutive action that character.zes
the individual. In particular the author
takes pains 20 emphasize the role that rea-
son should play in the development of So
ciety: he condemns the anti-intellectualists
Who falsely identify reason with a cold
logical faculty Of analysis and who separate
reason from the will and the impulse to
act. Mr.. Ginsberg concludes by declaring
that IF 10y reason we understand a prin-
cipal working within and by means of the
impulses and giving them aim and direc-
ton. then reason is the very life of the
whole social process. What we want
is not blind reliance upon mystical i'm

Nothing in Mr.. Keys volume is more in

Because the State income tax, with
its low rates, Is so much less burden
some than the national income tax
the New York Legislature seems to
be unwilling to expand the exemp-
tions for taxpayers or to make the
same allowance for dependents as the
new Federal law makes. But what
ever the Legislature fails to do in
this particular matter 1t ought to
harmonize the New York rules and
system of keeping income tax ac-
counts with those of the Federal Gov
ernment, so that one set of income
tax bookkeeping will do to all intents
and purposes for both returns.
1t Is a very considerable expense
TO not a few income tax payers and
1t Is a bother and evaporation to
many more to keep special and COM
plicated accounts for no other pur-
pose than to make income tax re-
turns. The least the national Gov
ernment can do is to simplify the
accounting methods that are re-
quired, as the present Administra-
tion at Washington realizes, and the
least the State Government can do
is to follow it's lead in respect Of
these matters.
And though the State may not fit
its exemptions to the national ex-
emptions 1t certainly ought not to
lose any time In wiping out some of
the inequalities and injustices Of the
New York income tax system itself
IT Is nothing short OF scandal that
the State has persisted in forcing
taxpayers to hand out taxes on actual
losses IN business transactions, re-
quiring the treatment of the losses
in the returns as II they were profits.
It Is no more justifiable for the State
than 1t Is for an individual to take
out Of citizens pocket what he does
not rightfully owe and what the hon
est spirit Of the law trainers never
could have intended that he should
pay.
The State of New York needs to
straighten out some of its unsavory
income tax practices so that it may

Brooklyn's Industrial Show.

Brooklyn's reputation as the City
of Churches and the Borough of
Homes is nationwide and so firmly
established that many persons fail
70 give her credit for the tremendous
industrial, commercial and transpor-
tation enterprises her far sighted
leaders in business. utilizing the bor-
ough's great natural advantages, have
developed. For those who want to
know about this powerful but popu-
larly ignored Brooklyn, which re-
ceives by ship and rail raw materials
from all over the world, manufactures
them to meet the requirements of
many peoples and sends them to the
four quarters Of the globe. the Brook
Iyn Manufacturers Industrial Exposi-
tion, now in progress in the Twenty
third Regiment Armory on Bedford
avenue under direction of the Brook
lyn Chamber OF Commerce, offers an
educational opportunity Of the highest
value.
Brooklyn's area is eighty odd
square miles; its waterfront is 201 3
miles in length; its population is
2,01S.356. and 295 separate Industries
are listed in its roster Of manufac-
turers. More than 200 exhibitors have
contributed to make the present in
dustrial exposition not only truly rep
resentative Of the borough's produc-
tive energies but TO impress on visi-
tors the admirable manner in which
the community spirit has been cul-
tivated in the upbuilding of the bor-
ough. Side by side are the booths Of
the factories. the banks. the news
papers, the societies for the promo
tion OF better living conditions, tele-
graph and telephone companies, the
shipbuilders, ship operators, trans
portation corporations; all are united
for the improvement and the legiti-
mate advertisement Of Brooklyn. The
solidarity OF effort here revealed ex-
plains much OF Brooklyn's remark
able growth and promises big adj
vances for the future.
Brooklyn is mighty municipality
Its 6.746 factory establishments, with
29.525 saIaried employees and 166.s2S
wages earners, produced, in the last
year for which figures are available,
goods valued at st,1s4, ,O9s.0OO, from
raw. materials valued at SEQ. o.7o9. 900,
The New York herald., 1922-01-16

the consolidated payroll being $276,-
GS4,OOO and the capital invested
$704, 900. Ninety-two countries
sent cargoes to Brooklyn; Brooklyn
goods went to at least as many.
The triumph of Brooklyn's genius,
however, is not to be found in these
statistics. 1t is recorded in the sue
cess with which stupendous modern
industrial and trading city has been
created without destroying the indi-
viduality and charm OF the COM
munity for home life. In preserving
its character as a city OF churches
and residences while growing big in
other ways Brooklyn has won Its
greatest success.

British Trade in 1921.

England looked we'll to her trade
in the unsettled conditions which
prevailed during 1921. The figures
showing her exports to have been
only fS10,730, 900 for the year COM
pared with f1,557, 100000 in 1920
and her imports FL, ,oS7, ,9S0. 900 in 1921
compared with 1887 All, 900 the pre-
vious year reveal a cut of almost so
per cent. in her total trade. Yet she
came through with an adverse trade
balance of only f277, $4,000 compared
with an adverse balance Of f379, ,445,-
900 In 1920. In 1919 the adverse bal
ance was f66s, 100000 and in 1918
1t was f134, 100000.
England's invisible income from
shipping, foreign investments. for
eign banking and insurance was es-
tlmated by the British Board Of
Trade at about $500. .Oo0,o 900 in 1920.
If this amount is sliced in half to
allow for the depression In 1921 there
remains fund Of f250,000,000 to Off
set the unfavorable trade balance Of
f277 1850. 900.
The deficit Of only f27. $4,000 is
negligible. II this were the sole fac
tor involved there would be no rea-
son why the British pound should
not be at par, $4.s665, in New York
instead of some IS cents below par.
But England still Is lending large
sums to European nations on which
collections and profits are slow. She
is collecting no interest on her Gov
ernment advances to other countries.
She has shared only nominally In
German payments on account of rep
arations, although her expense Of
keeping up war establishments has
been heavy.
Above all this, however, is the
necessity for regulating the value Of
the British pound to prevent undue
stimulation of imports. Great Brit
ain lives by exporting manufactured
commodities made largely from raw
materials bought abroad. Through
far sighted action the British banks
last year kept the pound up in the
early part of the year when both ex-
PORTS and imports were brisk, but let
it fall early in the summer to the
lowest rate Of the year. This action
lad the effect of curtailing imports
and encouraging exports. Had 1t not
been taken the Old World scramble
for the pound would, have swamped
British markets with foreign goods
and the adverse balance for the year
would have been much larger than
it actually was.
