Radio Editor:
Having noticed the Radio Col
umn' in which you published the let
ter written by VIII Il. Smith, asking
if "it wouldn't be more profitable 70
broadcast good church service in
stead of the Capitol Theater prosra4n,
especially on Sunday nights. We need
to hear more about Christ than
'Roxie and his gang. ] would be
delighted to learn the views Of radio
listeners who favor this change"
Perhaps Mr.. Smith will not be so
delighted TO learn the views of radio
listeners who do not favor the change,
but, just on the chance that il might
be of interest to him and some others
who are so constituted mentally as to
get the good from the "Roxie" con-
certs and the little thoughts which
he usually leaves with us when he
says "Good night, God bless you"
want to urge that "Roxie and his
gang" be given vote of thanks for
their efforts; that the large army OF
listeners-in on the regular Sunday
night services as "Roxie" conducts
them express their appreciation both
publicly and directly to "Roxie" for

what the world needs most is more
"Roxies" to spread good cheer" and
make US think of better things and
less OF the narrow minded, straight
laced, Puritanical thinking people
who want to shut off everything but
Christ and church on Sunday. True,
the church has it's place in the big
scheme of things and 1t is every neces-
sary under conditions as they exist
today But Just in proportion to the
development of the human mind, and
as the interest in such worthy works
as "Roxfe" promotes with all his
heart and soul develops in the lives
of men, Will the church become un-
necessary. The church has ever tried
to make men good through fear;
"RoXie' is doing the same work by
making men appreciate their duty
toward other men. That is good
work-work we can all do, regardless
OF race or creed. God biess "koXie,"

KnO1V WiScOnSin Better

Editors Note: Badger Cities can
rightfully take pride in the long
list of products that nave Mantle
woe" GAINESVILLE" Sturgeon Bay,
Hartford" and many other cities
stamped on them. Just as the agri-
cultural industry has been diversi-
fled, so has the manufacturing Of
the state been extended into widely
different fields. Wisconsin's en-
trance into manufacturing and the
place she holds today is told by the
authors, Hotchkiss and Cannon, in
this eighth installment Of the
know Wisconsin Better" series.
One of the factors that has con-
tributed to the advancement Of
Wisconsin, not only agriculturally
but industrially, is the nearness to
market and its transportation fac
ilities. The Great Lakes offer wa
ter transportation, the cheapest
type.
Of the entire area of the state
only 2.4fo is more than ten miles
from a railroad. The market to be
supplied may be appreciated from
the fact there are more people in
the Chicago-Milwaukee territory
wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and
Indiana) than there are in the Do
minion of Canada and more than
there are in the following states
combined: California, Montana,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, New
Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyom-
ing, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and
Oklahoma.
The development of the states
manufacturing industries is an in
teresting story. Many factors have
played their part in this and vol
umes have been written, so that the
brief picture attempted here must
sketch with the broadcast strokes.
Four Necessary Factors.
Manufacturing depends on a pro-
per balance of raw materials, cheap
power, markets, and man. Wiscon-
sins native raw materials of great
est abundance have come from the

Static Minds.

We owe much to- the college pro-
fessors, aside from the fact that
they teach our young men and wo-
men, for the bright ideas they
offer, particularly in warm weather
when wits are dull and need sharp
ening.
A member of the University of
illinois faculty has found a new
use for the automobile-not that
the automobile needs a defender
but he evidently was moved by a
sense of duty and gave it to wait
ing world.
1t is this: If you happen to be
so unfortunate as to be static
minded ). you should buy an auto
mobile and cultivate "motion-mind-
edness.' -
If you are 'static-minded," you
would dive into the water to rescue
a person at the place where the
person disappeared. Or, for example
you would not be successful in
beating the train to the crossing.
This professor thinks motion
mindedness," being able to think
where the car will be few minutes
later is sign of progress. And
perhaps he is right.
An automobile driver who isn't
able to visualize what will happen
if he does certain things, is of few
days on earth. He is one Of the
thousands whose lives are wasted
annually because they could not
see ahead
There are many 'static-minded"
folks who don't drive automobiles,
and others who do. They see
things only as they are and not
what they are gradually becoming.
They are our best known pessi-
mists, who think that the present
offers nothing of good, and that
only the past is worthy of emula-
ton.
This motion mindedness' bust
ness may be overdone, however.
Evn motion is not always progress.
1t may be largely wasted. Motion
that doesn't accomplish something
as it goes forward will never do
the worlds work. What we need
IS happy medium

The timber resources of Wiscon-

most important industries. AS the
timber was mostly in the northern
half OF the state the saving of
lumber, and the manufacture of
finished products--doors, windows,
Woodenware, boxes, refrigerators,
and many kinds of home and office

good chance that the fine doors Of

quantities in a lake shore city,

ONE industry of New York City
which you won't find listed in the
census reports Of 20 years ago was the
making Of "cripples.'' In the early
years Of this century there were sew
eral so-called cripple factories" "
known to the police. where day and
night shifts of professional beggars
were fitted with fake bandages, arti-
fetal arms and legs. false high-heeled
shoes and other trick paraphernalia
for the Turing of sympathetic coins
into battered tin cups.
Herbert Brenon will show one of
these cripple factories" in operation
in THE Street of Forgotten Men,"
which he is now filming. Every detail
will be authentic. it is said, for the set
was built and furnished under the
supervision of John D. Godfrey, who
for over 20 years has been mendicant
officer Of the Brooklyn Bureau of Char
ity, and who is assisting Mr.. Brenon
In the technical and research work on
the story.
Here will be shown beggars being

famous in his day for his artistic
transformations. Piles of artificial
limbs. canes and crutches give at.
