That shaw is alive, healthy,
active and apparently happy, IN
spite of the fact that his haoits
are not those of Frank Harris:
drives Harris into a kind OF
voluptuous frenzy. He presses
Shaw for an account OF MS
sexual life, knowing IN advance
that it will not be like the Lie
and Loves of Frank Harris, anu
when Shaw writes it and says
that he was continent until the
age of 20, Harris goes into
fury. He tries to explain the
hideous abnormality (accordlng
to the Harris standard) by con-
Meeting it with ShaW's vege-
tartan diet, with his athletic
habit. with various completes;
but no explanation explains. He
gives up with the cry that II
Shaw is normal, then Harris IS
abnormal.
Easily Shocked
The British newspapers are
shocked by the fact that Shaw
wrote the letters about his
sexual life which appears IN this
book and then did nothing to
prevent their publication. al
though he had every opportu'
nity, for after the death OF Har-
ris' Shaw read the proofs and
wrote a friendly and honest estl-
mate of Harris to complete the
hooks. It seems that even to
live an exceptionally austere
and decent life is no detense
against the high sensitivity OF
parts of the British press.
Ideas and Wit
The days when Shaw was
considered a humorist are long
past, No one is writing now
who can consistently take the
leading ideas of the time and
treat them with full under
standing and wit, at once.
Our humorists, in general, con,
Germ themselves with small
themes, with personal relations,
with social faults. I do not
know where you will find a
better collection than the New
Yorker Scrapbook, which con-
sists of some IS items from
the New Yorker. most of them
satirical, light and funny. The
book begins with Dorothy
Parker and ends with Ring
Lardner, and, quite incidentally,
shows why the text of the
New Yorker, after all his in
telligencc and brilliance, does
not impress itself as sharply
as it's drawings. With single
brilliant exception, Mr.. E. B.
White, the best writer's Of the

started and they have de-
veloped, but not changed;
whereas almost ell the bril-
liant draughtsmen who make

precious are new talent.
SuIIivan's Own
Frank Sullivan is one of the
upper half dozen in the New
Yorker Scrapbook. and, at the
same time, his own collection
has been published under the
somewhat anti-whimsy title of
Broccoli and Old Lace. Mr..

and rowing eye, conSortlng beau
tifully with a bland, innocent

word is in order for Steig, who

COTTON RELIEF
PLAN

Despite the popular belief. a
small home on a 50-foot lot can be
just as artiStically handicapped as a
large estate. The cottage. however,
requires more minute planning. SO
one should have a definite plan
before one begins any planting In
order not to waste space or money.
Every yard can be divided into
three major parts. the front. which
includes the lawn and foundation
planting, a more or less formal
flower garden. and a service yard.
The wise person will make a sketch
of his lot first and mark off the
space the house occupies. Then he
can easily decide the best place for
his service yard and garden.
The small home should have a
grass plot in front unbroken by
flower beds or shrubs. as this stretch
OF lawn, no matter how small.
gives a sense Of spaciousneSS.
Shade trees in the curb space are
an advantage especially with a
west front house. and no better
choice can be made { an pecan
trees. They are not very subject
TO disease, require no more water
than the poplars whose roots arc
a nuisance, and in only a few years
they yield a liberal return on the
investment.
The purpose Of the foundation
planting is to tie the house to the
ground. and this appearance Is best
given by unattractive foundation
throughout the year. one should
choose some evergreens for founda-
ton planting but for the small
place choose those OF the same
green and not mix yellow-greens
and blue-greens. These mixed
green's give an air or confusion
instead Of reStfulness. With ever
green's 1t is well TO use some
Towering shrubs but here again
too many varieties tend toward
confusion. The foundation planting
too must be suited somewhat to
the architecture Of the house
whether Ii be Colonial. Spanish.
or English. But one should Ky ID In
mind always the short and tall
shrubs. avoiding those which viii
grow too vigorously and cover
windows and the uneven front
line.
The second part OF the plan is
the garden. and the smaller the
pic. the more formal II should be.
The boundaries Of the garden may
be defined BY a clipped hedge. vine
covered fences. or bv corner groups
Of shrubs. The beds may be laid
out in formal design with stone or
grass paths between. and II a few
varieties OF flowers which olcom a.
different times are mixed in clumps
throughout the beds. the garden
will always be in bloom.

WORK SOUGHT
FOR BUSINESS

WASHINGTON. Sept. 49,
Results Of a survey indicating
American business wants some sys-
tenn Of economy planning to pro-
mote continuity OF work and pre-
vent unemployment bolfered the
efforts today OF a United States
Chamber OF Commerce committee
studying such proposals.
The committee was considering
various suggestions for creation OF
a national planning soard TO CO.
ordinate production and consump-
ton by watching and advising in
dustry Of the current trends OF
business.
Questionnaires Sent
Previous to its meeting the COM
mittee sent questionnaires to sew
eral hundred business firms asking
for their views and ideas on a Ia
tional planning board.
Most OF the replies were favor
able to the idea though there was
a great difference Of opinion as TO
how II should be worked out.
~ Was Ills pTODlSIm Tie COIHIllI-
tee was trying to solve today.
Members OF the group said they
could not finish their work at this
meeting but would meet again in
New York probably Sept. 81 to
complete a report.
Plans Advanced
The committee was considering
whether such a planning board
should be set up by the govern
ment or BY business. or BY both:
how large the board should be;
what industries should be repre-
santed: and II IL was created by
private industry, how it should be
4inanced.
Many other plans for regularizing
employment and protecting en-
ployes from the hardships OF un-
employment were being considered
by the committee. among them
jobless insurance and work guar
anteeS.
