 New Haven, Dec. 13, 1919. From: Major Earnest c. Simpson, l. s. A P, New Haven, Conn. To: Commanding General, c. s. G., Hartford, Conn.
 Subject: District and State Indoor Rifle Matches.
 l. At a meeting of the assistant inspectors of small arms practice with the inspector at general headquarters at Hartford on Monday, December l, the matter of indoor small arms prac- tice and matches was discussed and considered at length. IL was the opinion that a series of matches, b oth district and state. would be the best means of arousing the greatest inter est in indoor practice during this win ter, and to afford 8. comprehensive scheme for such practice and matches 1t was decided to make the following recommendations:
 (a) That district and state matches he held during the winter; the dis trict matches to begin as early in January as possible and the state matches to be shot beginning in April; that all matches be shot with the Winchester rifles and ammunition as issued, the range to be 50 feet slow fire, ten shots prone, five shots kneel- ing and five shots sitting, for each member of team; no sighting shots. Cb) That the district matches be shot under the direction and supervision of the commanding officer and assist ant T. S. A. P. in each district that the matches be open to each organiza- ton in the district and that each or eanizatfon be required ito enter team; each team in a district of ten men, the six highest scores to count as the team score, and that the mem- bers making the two lowest scores be eliminated after each match and two others substituted for the next match, those two eliminated, however. to be

David's portraits of the Emperor. the Pope and of Marat done to death in his bath by Charlotte Cor day, are among the amazing exhibi- tions of sheer brute strength. In his portraits of women he attained to enter only partially the doorway of the soul. But the famous portrait ot Madame Rocamier is cold, stiff.
 There are two of David's canvas CTS which are the expression of the ages democratic ideals as it came out from treading the French Revolution, and had not yet come under the gold be-starred mantle of Napoleon.
 These picture are ''The Vow of the Horatii,' and -'Brutus." They were painted in 17S4 when the master was only thirty-four years of age.
 The sarcasm of Victor Hugo seems always delightful; ''Won Waterloo? Wellington? No, GOD. Tor the mighty shadow of the Corsican threatened to extinguish free think ing in Europe"

Yet they serve the processes of production in an Indispensable way. Sweeping the shop has a direct bearing on the production of the special article which the shop exists to make. For exam pie, an accumulation of waste would hinder production in two ways; first, the waste itself would get in the workers" way; second, to get 1t out of his way the work CT would have to leave his job and go sweeping.
 Now, when the sweeper goes through his appointed section of floor space with his broom, he is clearing the way for the worker, he Is allowing the worker to con- tinue straight on with his job, unhindered.
 Again, the sweeper serves the worker in a still more indirect yet important way: cleanliness of the shop brings sanitary benefits with it, and so the sweeper serves the workers health, and through 1t, production, by cutting down lost time due to illness.
 Perhaps the most subtle ser vice the sweeper renders is a psychological one. 4 clean shop has an influence on the men. They become more clean-cut in their own work. Wherever you see a shop cluttered up with a mass of waste, or with materials dumped around anywhere in dis orderly fashion, you will find that Q T-f-V~9 1- cluttered too; they partake of the general dtsorderltness. Now, the sweeper has worked for weeks and months and has not touched a single process of what we call production. and yet he has served the Producer and aid ed production.
 If the man whom we cali the producer had been compelled to stop and do his own sweeping, he would have drawn the same rate of pay for handling a broom as was given him for the skilled use of a tool. It would have been a waste of skill. The sweep CT relieved him of that necessity, and so made it possible to keep the mechanical skill where 1t was most needed.
 And because the sweeper Is thus a contributor to production through rendering service to the more direct Producer, it is be- lieved that he is entitled to a wage that recognizes his value. That Is why the minimum wage, which always ought to be high enough to support 8 very credit able standard of living, should include the sweepers also, or any other similar workers whose ef- forts contribute to the general work of production.
 Are we going to deny the name of Producer to those whose ser vices are a part of the innedi- ate producers services?
 That Is just what is sometimes done. There is a sort of an aristocracy of skill growing up. There is an exclusiveness which would shut out the contributors to production from the status and rewards of Producers. It Is rath- er strange to see these divisions arise, and to see how the urge of human pride always makes for Separatenes ess among men. There are others, of course, beside the sweepers, who serve the imme- diate Producers of articles of use. The man who plans the

Who is the Producer? It is really an important question in these days of revised thinking. because there is growing up a new class-conscious aristocracy which calls itself the produc- ers," and Is very exclusive of everyone else. It is, of course, a good sign that emphasis is be- ing placed on production and that 9 new appreciation has como for the producer; and perhaps it IS natural that a kind of class pride should grow up which would limit the right to wear that honorable name; but all this makes it the more necessary that we should be clear in our minds a s to who the Producer really is.
 The most common description of the Producer would lead us to believe that he is the man from whose hands comes the finished product. We are easily deceived on this point. This man, we say, makes horseshoes. He produces something useful. He is thus 8 valuable member of society. We can see his work, we can see him perform 1t, We can see how 1t serves the immediate needs of the community. Therefore we have no hesitan ncy in awarding him the title of Producer.
 Put behind that man are others whom We do not see. There is the mule-driver who transported the ore to the mine shaft. There is the engineer who hoisted 1t to the top. There are the men who handled It in the smelter. There are the other men who sailed the ships that carried 1t to the steel mills. Then in the steel mills it passed through the hands of many men whE transform d 1t into steel; and there were rail- road men and truckmen who carried 1t to the place where ma terial was needed. Finally there was the blacksmith who with his brawny arm and praciced eye shaped it into the article that was needed-a rod, a brace, or 8 horseshoe.
 When you actually trace any article of use through the num- erous hands that worked upon it, and then attempt to divide the price of the article among those various men, you not only get an idea of the vast co-opera which production involves, but also how quantity production Is the only method by which a low price to the purchaser and an adequate wage to the producer can be maintained.
 During this process of tracing, you would also come upon an- other fact which Is often over looked; you would become aware of 8 very considerable body of workers whose hands did not di- rectly touch the product at all, but whose whole work was in serving the Producers during the time they were actually engaged in the work of production. We are not now speaking of the vari- ous forms of service rendered to the Producers outside the shop, but that service which Is render ed them inside the shop.
 Take the shop sweepers, for example. They never touch the product of the shop. To the careless eye they are not produc- ing anything at all. They are mere extras" so to speak. Many would indignantly deny them the title of Producers.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-12-30

work, who makes it possible for the Producer to begin the job at once instead of waiting to lay it out and plan it ahead-he, too, has his part in production.
 Then, before any of these came upon the scene at all, there Is the man who had vision enough and faith enough 10 win the nec- essary means to start the work going in the first place; the man whose credit or whose idea was good enough to secure capital and machinery and a place to work Surely it will not be de- nted that he, too, had his part in Production-that he served Production and the Producer, too.
 The difficulty has been in the past very similar to that which confronts us now. namely, q tendency on the part of one group to minimize the import ance of the other group, as if that were the only way to secure its own importance.
 Our enormous and insistent de- mand for the finished product has, in these days, given an ex- aggerated prominence to the man who does the finishing. The last man to handle the article is the first man the public sees. and thus Le Is the one who is most often given the title of Pro- dLcer.
 The man who turns 1t out'' is the man whom modern opinion acclaims as the real creator.
 And yet II must be clear to all that this man could not turn it out" unless a whole series of processes had produced 1t 10 his hand almost ready to be turned out.''
 When all is said and done. 1t Is the organization that produces, and no individual worker. And by organization" is meant not only the specific shop which makes the specific article, but the whole industrial process, from those which deal with the raw materials of the earth, to those that give the finishing touches which prepare the work ed material for the market and for use.
 They are all part of the plan. It may be that some of the pro cesses could be shortened up a little; it may be that profiteers push in here and there to collect an unwarranted tax on the com pleted article as it passes along the channels of commerce; but aside from these, which can cas- fly be remedied, it will be found that the actual shaping e the ar ticle occupies a place about mid way in the whole process of Pro- duction. It is not the whole. It is indispensable, of course; but it is not warranted in assuming a lordIy dominance over all the others.
 Certainly there is no place in Q just and well-regUiate world for any labor that does not in some measure contribute to Produc- tior. This is not to take Q sordid view of life, but only to insist on usefuIno $ in the things which we support. Every man who eats and wears clothes and enjoys crea ture comforts. does so at the expense of someone else's labor. Now, he ought to yield an ade- quateIy useful return for what he receives-that is the princi- DIe
