Leo Benson, who moved from here
to Fowlerville in the early spring,

last week. He was doing some sold
ering on gasoline lighting system
when the sediment backed up in the
pipe and caused an explosion, ignit-
ing the torch light which he was hold
ing and badly burning his hands and
one arm. He was taken immediate
ly home and medical aid called, maxi

Mr.. Benson's friends here will be
glad to learn that he is improving
although it was the cause of severe
suffering for several days.

UNIONIZED ARTISTS.
Authors and Actors In Search Of cal
Economic Basis"

70 THr EpIroR NJ THr SuN-Sir: The
present tendency Of authors actors and
other artists to obtain protection from
the exploitation Of publishers.
or dealers by alliances with trade un-
ions is quite in line with affairs in this
country.
In Europe all true artists In any field
are appreciated, respected, protected, and
the people know that their contributions
to the cultivation or the entertainment
OF mankind have a distinct value Not
80 In these United States, Here the
man in the street thinks Of an artist as
a sort Of freak, an eneminate nut. OF
course he knows of the tonsoriai artist
because he passes his shop each day on
the way Ia business, but here Is an ar
fist who delivers something tangible for
pay, and there is AN economic basis on
which to establish his actual value. He
may W. eight chairs and n manicure
in his shop. whereas his brother artist
down the street has only four chairs and
no manicure Therefore. the man in the
street considers this one twice as great
an artist as the other fellow.
But when II comes to what cultivated
people undcrstan nd ny the fnc arts the
matter is quite different, Here Is moth
ing tangible to be measured or weighed.
Therefore the poor devil who wishes to
sell his dreams must take what he can
get, perhaps Just enough for another
weeks board or n months rent. Is II
any wonder then that these artists I'm
this fair land Of ours should try to get
themselves on "A mercantile or trade
