HOLDS EACH GENERATION
SHOULD CREATE OWN ART
George Bernard Shaw for a Law
That Would Demolish a Build
ing at End of Twenty Years.

LONDON. February IL (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
George Bernard Shaw declares that
the old cottages of England should
be destroyed wholesale.
After living in one of these liter
airy and artistic houses with an ex-
alted sense of doing the right thing"
he told the Society of Arts recently,
.one realizes that all the time one
has been living in a sort of architec-
tural hell.
Il am so far modern that ] have
come to the conclusion that what is
wanted is a law that every building
should be knocked down at the end
of twenty years and a new one erect
ed. That would get rid of old cot
tages. We have got into the incor-
rigible habit Of sponging On the past.
EVERY generation ought to be able
to produce its own art and all this
worship Of the past can only be got
rid of by a wholesale destruction of
all the monuments of the past.
IF we could avoid the wholesale
destruction of human beings involved
by a great war. I should be glad to
have half a dozen great wars in Eu-
rope so that all the old buildings
might be knocked down, thus forcing
US by sort of starvation to make
our own architectural efforts"

GETTING BACK

Let us all get back to working, back
to earning honest rocks, back to bak-
ing, painting, clefking, back to windir g
eight-hour day clocks. Long enough
we've whooped and clamored, making
all the welkins ring; long enough we
have Knocked and hammered every
sane and useful thing. If we'd get
back to toiling like bunch of earnest
men, industries now dead and spollin'
would be cutting grass again. There
would be a trade revival that would
simply beat the band and boom with
out a rival in the annalsof this land.
There would be no idle pulley, smoke
would come from every stack, If we'd
be les wild and woolly, if we'd hit the
old-time track. Let's get back to use
full labor, as we iabored long ago, peel
ing onions with a saber, saving fire
wood with hoe. Let us all resume
our knitting, make the shining needles
fly, work blithely, nor admitting any
"agitator" guy. Let Us darn the
socks and mittens, prune the hedge
and shear the COW, hunt the eggs and
drown the kittens-let US all get busy
now.

They often make life miserable for
others and invariably make a reproach
to themselves.
But there is a brighter side Of the
story.
The abuse these short sighted people
heap upon their place of abode gener-
ally falls upon unsympathetic ears.
Their neighbors and friends know
them as they areas people who
might have been valuable citizens cap
able of constructive work, but those
dispositions have been warped IN
younger days, possibly through no
particular fault of their own.
Their criticisms are listened to with
good natured patience, but are forgot
ten about as soon as uttered.
The views of the chronic kicker and
fault finder have less weight than
those of any other adult element of
human race.
When he thinks he is kicking his
town he generally finds that ne IS
kicking himself instead.

DON'T KICK
YOUR TOWN

There is no better evidence of COM
mendable community spirit then that
of loyalty to town in which a person
lives. ~
If a town is worth living in it is
worth defending and supporting in its
efforts to advance with the rest of the
world.
Yet in almost every community you
will find people who can see nothing
coed in their surroundings.
They can not recognize the fact that
though it may be humble, it yet is
home = that it has clothed them, and
FED them and cared for them in sick
ness and in health, and has furnished
them friends who have been steadfast
and true
They magnify its imperfections and
spread wherever they go.

We have. heard SC much of this viz

why there is no halo glowing around

But why make it a campaign of vir-

Suppose we voters of both parties

on virtue, thatwe don't want saint

the fellow who can prove up the red
