THE CLEVER WOMAN
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

My wife is very clever woman"
 This IS what man said the other day Tn con- pany where his wife not present
 One of those happy busybodieS who do deal of good in the world by reporting people the nice things they hear about them went and told the mans wife.
 Now that wife what the people prone to call quite ordinary woman. That is she was not re- markedly handsome. She had no striking accomplish ments She was not social leader intellectual star and all she did was to make her husband happy and bring up her children in discipline and in comfort.
 Of course, she pleased to hear what her hus- band had said about her, but she expressed herself as much surprised In this she showed at least one real mark of superiority For is characteristic of mastery in any line of human endeavor to be quite unconscious of it and to take it as matter of course.
 But was she clever? And what is a clever Wo- man?
 Of course, there are women, and they worthy of all praise who manage great department stores who expert in business who brilliant conversation asts, who great artists who excel in literature
 But the one thing that will always be the woman's chief business that field in which in the nature of the case she never have rival, Is home making.
 The trend of our civilization, which Is more and stamped by city fe is to create distaste not to say contempt, for the career of making happy home.
 Of course, no human being wants to be drudge And woman of spirit wants to be nothing but ser want with outlook beyond household duties. But whether home shall be narrow prison and the wo- in it merely the chief slave depends very much per haps upon the woman herself
 If she can magnify her office, she make her sphere glorious and her influence distinct In the world if she her home throne of power quite as much as if she adopted some other profession.
 In the best type of civilization it is the family and not the individual that is the real unit and in the fam fly it is almost always the woman that counts most
 And we instnctively feel that there is something wrong with any point of view that leads the ambition of girls away from the home.
 It is said that among the incoming immigrants most of the girls want to do something better than housework."
 If the normal aim of human endeavor is to make people happy to be centre of strong and wholesome influence to render ones self indispensable and to cupy firm and unique place in the affections of the people with whom in contact then the of home-maker offers advantages to the that no other mode of life can give.
 The lust for conspicuity, the desire for freedom the undsiplined passion for ndivduaisml, that are characteristic of these tmes do greater harm than when they work in the minds of young to bring about contempt for the greatest business earth the business of being successful wife and mother
 Such really is the Clever Woman.

in vogue in the other markets. At this time there was a tremendous shortage of labor, because of the war. ani the garment industry was enjoy ing unprecedented prosperity. ThA manufacturers were willing to pay enormous wages in order to get help. and the garment makers union was often put in the embarrassing position of keeping wages down In some cases it actually forced union members to return to jobs paying S5 to S10 a week less than other em- ployers had offered them--
 The manufacturers, on the other hand. met the workers half way. through the arbitration board, by granting their demands that the piecework system, long the chief bone of contention, be abolished in favor of a straight weekly wage This concession, as well as a shortening of the 54-hour week. was in an agree ment which YVES to last until 1922.
 Last spring. however, the manu- lecturers began to show signs that they regretted their bargain. The public had ceased its extravagant buying of clothes, and it seemed probable that it would continue to exercise thrift in that direction. Prices would have to go down. Pro duction costs would have to go down first. They remembered the good old days when workers were paid by the piece, and kept working franti- cally on that piece until it was done.
 But the Arbitration Board, to- gether with the impartial chairman, refused to countenance a return to piecework. Instead, it suggested that a committee be appointed to study the matter of productivity which would make it's report on November 1, 1921. The manufacturers repre- sentatiVes agreed. But several days before November 1. the manufactur- CTS themselves formed a national or ganization in Atlantic City which de- c,ded to install piecework and longer hours without regard to the commit tees report and without further con sultation-
 Thus. 1t appears that industrial arbitration can be used as a cloak to protect employers in time of labor shortage and contemptuously discarded ss soon as the shortage is over.

Planning the City for Beauty

Planning the City for Beauty
 Those pictures of the Phoenix of tomorrow are things to conjure with Is it possible that a city can be built like a house, or laid out like a gar den, and be an artistic unit? Can the natal ugliness of a city be changed into beauty? The plans for just such a transformation are now before, us and the Planning Commis- sion of One Hundred is already in- cubating them.
 Of course, Phoenix can be replatted to the fancy of its inhabitants. Let there be steady pressure in the direction of accepted features of civic convenience and comeliness for 100 years, and the thing will be done. And it's the logical thing to do: since we must build, why not build to a plan? Our human capacity and instinct is to dominate our environ ment, and a city can do that as well as an individual.
 Phoenix is the destined Queen of the Desert. She should make the most of her unique situation in her striving after beauty. To ape the configurations of San Francisco or Constantinople or Tokio would be to create a monstrosity, discordant ar tistically and disloyal to the South west. Nature mas Qone nnuCn LOT Phoenix. and every unique charm which she has bestowed should be conserved Palmyra. the famed oasis of the syrian desert, was not so wonderfully situated, and her glory should some day be surpassed by the glory of this modern metropolis of the desert crossroads.
 The key word for any Phoenix plan should be Outlook. The level floor upon which she is built should be compensated by a strongly suggested attachment to surrounding hills. Let us run avenues and boulevards toward them. Consider Camel back mountain. It Is practically invisible south of McDowell road. yet it Is the highest and noblest peak in our land scape. Across it's fact the changing colors of the desert move from morn ing to night practically unobserved by 99 per cent of our population. Let us lay the long white finger of an avenue toward it that the multitudes may see it. One feature of natural beauty revealed and made to stand conspicuously forth by a city plan is worth one hundred devised and created ornaments. Such an avenue, starting from the proposed civic cen ter at Third street and Taylor and running northeast, would correspond to Grand avenue; it would be use-

trial arbitration. and a plan for ami- cable adjustments was the result
 This included permanent arbitra- ton board, consisting of two repre- sentatives-one of the Chicago gar ment makers union and one chosen by the manufacturers These two members were to choose, in turn an impartial chairman to preside over their negotiations.
 Later on. though, it was found that the arbitration board could not handle all of the numerous matters coming up in regard to working con- ditions, and that some additional or ganization would be necessary. Ac- cordingly,. another board, known as the trade board. was formed. con- sisting of five representatives from the union and five for the employers, with the same impartial chairman who served on the arbitration board.
 The manufacturers were repre- scented on the Trade Board largely by labor managers. A plant of any considerable size always employs a labor manager, while the smaller plants usually combine to hire one manager. who functions for all of them. These labor managers, act ing for the employers. and the union representatives acting for the work CTS. constituting the Trade Board, were authorized to settle all disputes that could not be settled locally in the shops. The impartial chairman, paid and trus4 ed by both sides, pre- sided over the board and cores bonded to a judge in our courts. Cases were argued before him. and his decision was accepted as final, except in rare Instances when appeal was made to the first Board of Ar bitration. A more effective system of industrial arbitration has never been devised
 Other clothing centers almost i'm mediately adopted it, but it was a long time before it took hold upon New York. Local conditions con spired to proven. it. Dr. Leiserson, impartial chairman for the clothing industry in Rochester. explains these conditions as follows:
 The New York System
 Tn the first place, two-thirds of all the work in the New York mar ket is done by contractors The significance of this is that the em- ployer is not really a manufacturer. He handles the financial and sales end of the business. but he throws off his shoulders all the manufac- turing problems and shoNes them on to the contractor The contractor is usually a small employer running small shop with little knowledge of modern manufacturing. In busy times he pays any wages his people ask. He can make the firm for whom he works pay the price in order to get the work. In slack time. however tho firm squeezes the con tractor down to the very lowest price possible because hundreds of contractors are competing for work then. Having contracted to do the work for a ver' low price. the con- tractor squeezes down the wages of his employees. or. as it is known in the trade 'sweats his profits out of the wages of the workers"
 Thus. it was not until 1919. after nine years of struggle, marked by several victories and defeats. that the New York garment workers finally succeeded in securing the same sys- tenn of industrial arbitration that was

The Industrial Conference

The Arizona Industrial Conference which will meet here Friday and Saturday will be. we be- neve great outstanding event of far-reaching effect upon the prosperity Arizona. It has been called out by present past conditions. In our happy go- lucky days we felt these comings together to take counsel. Then everything running smoothly Industries of all kinds were prosperous We were all making money. The burden Of taxation was not a painful If complained at alF Of taxes giving voice only to habitual protest
 But now things are different. Our taxes have become a weight which you'd have been embarrassing to us even in the fushest of times And times are not now flush anywhere. We laboring under conditions which are everywhere unfayorable. Each -esaor and community must bear it's share of them ana each must in some measure contribute to its own relief.
 No general legislation will accomplish miracle, .sough of course wise federal legislation will help in many ways. The industrial conference. though IS intended to point out ways in which Ari- zouians can help themselves

Story of an Outrage

To the Editor of The Republican,;
 On my last visit to Las Vegas, New, found that ex-service men whose bravery had helped to gain victory for America in the great war. were as- saulted. cursed and threatened with death by officers, their only offense being unable to find work.
 I recently talked with a voting man who had been placed on the chain gang for the offense of being hungry, ard he stated that the main part Of those in the Cotton chain gang were workless ex-service men and that these American soldier boys were as- saulted by their guards.
 Towns too selfish to provide as sistance for the boys who fought the battles of the great war and which turn. as the first means of escape, to the disgrace and horror of the chain gang and the brutal guard for the country's service men should be forced to stop this treatment of the one who carried the flag to victory.
