living member Of the nce-fourish-

Declarer then returns a small
spade and East's jack drops, setting
the spade suit in dummy.
DecIarer cashes the two spades
and East is helplessly squeezed. On
the first spade he can discard a
heart, but on the second spade he
must either bear down to the king
of hearts or let go one of his dia-
mendS. His best play, of course,
is to drop the ten of hearts, hoping
that the declarer will take the
fnesse, but the declarer goes right
up with the ace, capturing the king
and successfully making his small
slam.

Novel Enjoys Largest Pur-
chase of Recent Years.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 13.-"An-
thony Adverse" Hervey Aliens liza
page 4-pound novel, has passed into
the class of phenomena. the book trade
has decided.
The book is universally known as
"Anthony' and spoken of as a person
rather than a book. Anthony" Is now
around the 275.000 mark in sales.
1t is, according to book trade hgures,
the largest sale of recent years for q
of any book. Anthony" was published
June 26 of this year and has consist
emily dominated fiction best-seller lists
each month since.
$4,000 Sale Is Good.
Sale of $4,000 copies of an average
sized novel nowadays is cause for great
Joy in publishing circles. although some
volumes of yesteryear have established
tremendous selling records over long
period.
Sinclair Lewis books. most of them,
belong to the pre-depression era. Main
Street" including reprints, has sold
more than 725 900 and ELMER Gantry,
next most popular, well over 400, 900.
The world sale of Erich Maria Re-
marques "All Quiet on the Western
Front" is more than 100000 copies in
all editions, including reprints; H. G.
Wells THE Outline Of History" has
passed the million mark in world sales
and Will Durant's THE Story OF Phil
osophy" approaches $4,000.
In fiction Hull's THE Sheik" has
gone, over the years, between 100000
and 100000 copies.
Unfav0rable Factors.
Bookmen say several factors have en-
tered into Anthony" success-a pos
slble improvement in public taste, a
psychological situation in which there
existed q real demand for a rattling
good story upon sound philosophical
basis and a general interest in its phys
ical dimensions.
On the other hand, two chief factors
have conspired against it. One is the
enormous increase in the number OF
circulating libraries. which cuts down
the sale of all fiction and much nom
fiction. Another is the depression,
which operated especially against AN
thony," since it was physically impos-
sible to manufacture and sell 1,224-
page book for the same price as the
average 300-page novel.

total municipal deficit of $685., 1921 by
the end Of its current fiscal year, June

CHINA WILL ENFORCE
new IMPORT DUTIES
Increased Levies on Wheat and
Rice Flour Effective Sat.
urday.

SHANGHAI, China, December 13-
A 200 per cent increase in import du-
ties on wheat and rice -four becomes
effective next Saturday, according to
the present plans of the Chinese min
istry of finance in its desperate effort
to raise revenues for the poverty ridden
Nanking government and to wipe out
the S14,000,000 (silver) monthly deficit.
First to be affected by this tariff rise
is American wheat, three shipments Of
which are due here before January 13.
Eleven other shipments are now load
ing at Pacific Coast ports and are ex-
pected to yield more than S750.000 sil-
yer to China, according to estimates
here This grain comes under the
terms Of the recent S50,000,000 (gold)
cotton and wheat loan made by the
American Government to China.
These new levies follow increases in
the consolidated taxes on matches,
rolled tobacco and cement. in line with
the policy to overcome the terrific flnan-
cial handicap of the government.
Later the finance ministry proposes
to impose an inheritance tax and to
boost the salt monopoly revenue. Since
China proper lost Manchuria, its salt
revenues have decreased by S33,000,000
silver annually.
