ART WORK AND MANUAL LABOR

There are some queer contrasts in
the values placed by the world on diff
ferent kinds of work Charlie Chap
lin gets ten times as much as the
President Of the United States. And
manual labor is reaching the point
where it commands more than art
or brains OF many kinds.
One instance is the relative pay
earned by women who produce art OBJ
jects, and those who do the coarsest
kind OF manual labor. A few years
ago the arts and craft movement was
prominent phase of our economic
interests. Many women took to pro-
ducing art objects and artistic home
