Ideas About Culture

Most of us have been a bit hazy
as TO just what culture is. We have
perhaps generally taken our cue from
Matthew Arnold, who had a notion
that culture involved knowing the best
that had been thought and known, that
it was the pursuit of sweetness and
light, and that its motto should be
to make the reason and will Of God
prevail. But the address Of Mr.. John
Cowper Powys on the subject expands
our ideas, the Kansas City Times COM
ments. We are informed that the cul-
tured person is detached and sophisti-
Gated, that he defends himself from
Founders by saying, Really! Indeed !
How Interestingly That he IL capable
Of renouncing friends, family, church,
business. That he escapes from the
world by reading the classic authors.
Finally, we infer that a touch of in
digestion is desirable In order to keep
the cultured one at the proper pitch
of dissatisfaction with the world.
Otherwise he might get to enjoying
life as Robert Browning did. Well,
we always are glad to enlarge our
experience and white down the edges
OF our ignorance Especially are we
consoled to learn that when we feel
most like the human crab. when we
are unusually disagreeable, and full
of spleen, then are we most cultured.

Lingerie Lines Always
/of Great Importance

No costume can be perfect II IL In
not based upon perfect foundation
and there Is no greater mistake than
to think that the lines and cut Of
lingerie are not important. They
should be considered just az carefully
as the silhouette Of the frock or suit
and chosen with quite as much care.
Unnecessary frills or ruffies should
be eliminated. and whatever elabora-
ton there may be, should never cause
extra fullness or bulk. This does not
mean that lingerie should be 80 severe
as to lose its feminine allure but Il
does mean that fine plaits should take
the place Of rufies; that flat-applied
bands and appliqued motifs should re-
place the fussy trimmings of other
days and that the general appearance
should be trim, definite and In keep
ing with the general silhouette. A
new type Of stepin for evening wear
has the advantage Of being worn with

the Persian gulf. During the rule Of
the Ptolemies, the name "Erythraean
Sea" was confined by some geogra-
pliers to the gulf between the straits
OF Bab-el-Mandeb and the Indian
ocean; but it was far more generally
used as identical with the Mare Rub
rum or Red sea. Even as late as the
Christian era, the expression "Eryth-
raean Sea" was used in its original

Women Workers of Chicago

Women Workers of Chicago
In an interesting study which the
u. s. Women's Bureau has made of
100 industrial establishments in the
City of Chicago, employing 1885
workers, it is disclosed that the adult
contingent contains 51,644 white men,
$3.50 colored men, n 1852 white women,
1881 colored women, and l,761 boys
and girls Of both races. To come to
the milk in the cocoanut, however, as
to the ratio and proportion of inclu-
sion of the brothers and sisters of the
Race in their contribution to the
productivity of the Windy City, it is
observed that colored men comprise
about one-tenth of the. potential male
work forces Of Chicago's bonafide in

Race comprises approximately one
fifteenth OF the entire female group.
The Chicago inclusion, however, Is

which the colored female work group
is blessed with only one-twenty-third

The Quest for Real civiIization

The Quest for Real Civilization
David Wark Griffith, moving picture

followed that infamous perturbation of
racial hatred, next turned to the pub
lie with Intolerance" a film showing
that Sel6shness, from B. c. to date,
has been motivating i'll of all the gen.
erations of man. Today represents the
acme of triumphs Of the God Of Self.
The Chicago gang war, the Carteret
riots Of New Jersey, the British strike,
mob rule and thousand other exhibits
demonstrate the flight Of Love and the
advance Of Self. Virginia the State in
which John Powell, American piano
virtuouso and race purifier" is trying
to wash away the "sins" of color, wor-
ries about the visit to the South OF
Governor Al Smith of New York, fear
ing that he might aspire to the Pres
idency of the United States, and not
ing that there is a religious bar
Catholicism against the Governor,
which would make his candidacy the
''sheerest political utility"
A group Of satisfied Americans
spends sleepless nights fearing that the
dark tenth part of the country's pop
ulation might advance too far to be
safely and judiciously handled" A
bloc of New Jersey labor trembles lest
black labor might get too firm a hold
in New Jersey industry. The Com
munists' hands itch to handle the
worlds wealth; and Capital and Labor
are at each others threats daily and
nightly. The Church has become SO
absorbed in the worlds commercialism
that it is fast becoming tool Of that
institution, which is built upon wealth
and influence.
Twelve million American Negroes
are being "shunted" here and there,
and almost negligible force, except
when handy to help the gigantic en-
terests" attain their goal. And all this
is the melting pot of Civilizations
contents,-while the quest for the real
civilization, which every man recog-
nizes, when he examines his own con-
science, has become mere dream.
Has the Self in Civilization become
ballast? Who is responsible, the
Church, by Indifference; the people by
avarice; or merely the innate greed
of organized groups? Is William
Macdonald correct when he says that
western civilization is doomed? OF
course, it is patent that the trend cam
not last; for like a giant fywheel, it
will soon create sufficient momentum,
if not regulated, to cause its own de-
struction.
Hence, with the ills that beset US,
our group knows that greater men
ace besets the country and the world.
Perhaps, in stretching forth her hands
in that day to come, Ethiopia can save
the world from itself. Just as Cardinal
Hayes has openly given aid and COM
fort to the Jews, perchance we can
sometime set an example to crumbling
Civilization. At least we can have
confidence in ourselves and in the
qualities we have inherited from our
forefathers (including those in John
Powell's State Of Virginia) and press
on forever to increase our success and
the success and civilization Of the
world; for, as Simon Strauss says:
