&c man feeling of possession and mastery in
advance of the actual killing
It was one of the oldest human beliefs that
the picture of thing gives one power over
the thing itself
Oriental natives refuse to be photographed
or sketched. They fear that pictures would
give subtle power over them In ancient
Scotland, clay images were stuck with pins, in
order that the original might have pains in
corresponding parts of the body.
An authors real self is n1irrored in the kind
of stories he writes. An artist paints pictures
of the things that appeal to him most And
people, in buying pictures, select the ones that
have the greatest power of satisfying their
inner longings.
Statesmen can profit by this bit Of psychol-
ogy. Study the pictures in a-mans office and
you know what to talk to him about.
This may never have occurred to you But,
tonight in your home, ponder the pictures on
the walls. They reveal whether your "sup-
pressed functions are along lines of hunting,
nature adventure, crime or love.
Currelly says there can be art in a frying
pan or coffee percolator, the same as in Gains
boroughs' painting, '"The Blue Boy" which
sold the other day for about S663,OOO
Nhost people Uhlnk OF art as pictures and
sculpture, but most pictures and sculpture are
not art" says Currelly. .When one sets out
to make anything, uses the best materials and
skill and does it sincerely, so that it exactly
meets the purpose for which it is intended,
that is very apt to be work of art"
A great creative influence is working all
through the universe. Men and women are
the wires conveying that force. All of us are
builders-creators. In creating, we express
our real natures.

"E'U Tell the WOrLd''
Sayings and Doings of Kenosha
Legionnaires.
Legion Leads i'm
Educational Week

Indianapolis, Ind.-Schools, public,
private and parochial from the kinder
garten to the post graduate college
and every organization in the United
States which can gather men and wom-
en- together are being asked to join
with the National Educational ascot
alton and the American Legion in OBJ
serving the week of December A to 10
as american Educational Week"
It is hoped that every American, ma
tive or foreign born, will start the
year 1922 right with self instruction
in the history, aims and ideals of the
country and it's institutions and this
is the purpose of the week, according
to Legion national headquarters here
The attracting of national attention to
the need of better education for AM
orleans generally underlies the scheme,
it is added.
During the war wefound thousands
of young men in service who were il
literate through no fault of their own.
We aim to remedy the situation" de-
clared Alvin M. Owsley, Texas, di-
rector of the Legion's Americanism
Commission, which, with the education
al association is arranging the pro-
gram for the week. Sin the South,
particularly, the Legion is trying to
wipe out iNteracy forever, and we
will give 'the movement good start
at this time.
"We hope to lead the foreign born
to learn of American and its institu-
tions. The practice heretofore has
tended to beat or drive the knowledge
into them and you can't beat anything
into the heart. We are going to of
fer a helping hand to these people;
that is better than cursing and etern-
ally finding fault with them"
Programs, which will include stories
of the founding of America and it's
government, ideals and institutions,
the singing of national songs and the
comparison of our government with
others will be given in schools,
churches, Legion posts, clubs and in
every kind of civic and fraternal cen
ter where men and women may meet.
President Harding >and the governors
of all states will be asked to issue
proclamations asking general OBJ
servance of the week.
The National Educational association
which is sponsoring the movement with
the Legion is composed of school and
college teachers, principals and super
intendents of all sections of the coun-
try.

AN IMPROVEMENT
INDUSTRIES SHOW
Badger Industries Are Raj
lying from Unemploy-
ment Crisis.
SLOW BUT GRADUAL


Employment conditions in Wisconsin
industries have shown an Improvements
of $3.50 since June, the industrial COM
mission reports in its monthly sum-
mary of the state labor market. The
number OF employees increased 10
during October with raise of ITO
in total wages paid and practically no
change in the average weekly earnings
of factory employees.
Labor market reports of the indus
trial commission are based on an an
alysis of the returns of 211 establish
ments with 8,400 employees or about
one-third of the factory workers of the
state now employed. The weekly pay
roll of these factories totals $1,270,000
"For the past four months, each
month has shown an increase in the
number Of employees. so that the total
now is $50 greater than it was in
june the commission says. "The only
industries that have not shown some
recovery are mining, machinery manu-
facture, sawmills and planning mills,
milk products and laundries."
Wages Are Lower.
AS compared with July a year ago.
the commission reports that the num-
Der of employees is 1920 smaller
total wages paid is 1850 less and
average weekly earnings 21.7G6 lower.
The average weekly earnings for all
industries were SPITE which is three
cents more than the previous month
This is $S.12 less than the peak reached
in August 1920, the report states, and
represents a reduction of 1920. The
total factory pay roll of the state is
now said to be 52@o less than it was
in August 1920, representing the loss
in wages due to unemployment as we'll
as wage cuts and part time employ
ment.
Cost of Living Drops.
Cost of living on October 1st was
seven-tenths of one per cent less than
it was on September 1, 1921. The de-
cline since the peak of prices which
was recorded on July 1, 1920 is 2O26.
Increase in the number employed as
compared with the preceding months
was well distributed. according to the
commission which says, however, that
decreases were shown in stone crush
ing and quarrying, iron mining, ma
chinery, automobiles and motorcycles,
milk products an shipbuilding.
AS compared with July of a year
ago, only stone working, boots and
shoes, hosiery and other knit goods.
meat packing and light and power show
an increase in the number of employ
ees, although railroad repair shops,
clothing and printing are practically
the same. Mining metal industries.
wood industries and milk products have
been most seriously affected, it is said

Ninety per cent of the ten million tons Of
steel ships owned by the Government are oil
burners, and for that reason they have a decid-
ed advantage over foreign operated vessels.
In addition they are as fine ships as there are
in the world and their owners and operators
can give as good service to American manufac-
turers as any foreign shipper can render. Every
American exporter owes it to his country to
send his goods in American vessels.
