JULIA ELIZABETH. By James Stephens. Crosby Gaige. A Chicago psychiatrist who has examined many of Chicago's "bad m en" is reported as having declared. that the typical racketeer or gangster ts a dullard, of the ment~l age of 12 or 13, emotionally and mentally defective. But racketeering is a lucrative enterprise, as Charles E~ Merriam explains in his new book, "Chicago," and as many as ninety diffe r en t lines of racketeeringare found in Chicago at one time. Mr. Merriam has held important public offices in Chicago and he writes from inside knowledge of both the und erwo rld and the forces that are working for civic betterment. His chapters on the criminal world of Chicago, on the Chicago Plan for the im provement of the city, on the go\'crn ments of Chicago (both visible and in- · visible), on the cross ntrrents of race, religion. and sex, and on some leading men and women of Chicago arc vi\'idly interesting not only in Chicago but in every town and city. "Chicago" was announ ce d for pllhlication on June 4. Following is a group of juvcn it e books that have recently been printed by variou s publisher s: FLOWER SONG. The :Romance of Jane Alden.
