%HONORABLE INDUSTRY
BY THE RIGHT REV. LANES E. FREEMAN, D. D, IL. D,
Bishop OF Washington.

It is such q condition that moved
modern national leader to declare that
Religion Is an opiate for the people"
Certainly the time has come, II our
religion Is to mean anything to us,
when We must give practical demon
stration of its value in all the rela-
tionships of life. Recently in maga-
zine, article written by son concern
ing his father, he said that his father
regarded religion and worship as es-
sential concomitants Of wholesome liv-
ing. He was clear in his conviction
that they were good for the well-being
of society. On the other hand. he
strenuously objected to having his
religion and profession Of faith intrude
upon or attempt to direct his relations
to his fellows. In other words. he
contended that you cannot mix busi-
ness and religion; they are separate
and distinct things, and in no wise
related one to the other.
We submit that such conception
of the purpose and function of religion
runs counter to the express teachings
of Christ, as a matter of fact, it runs
counter to the teachings of practically
all the great religious leaders. One
wonders where the Golden Rule has
its application in such a conception.
We are now in process of rehabilitat-
ing our disordered household. We have
gone through a period Of widespread
distress and suffering. Industrial lead
ers and those who labor in the work
room are compelled to seek for a new
basis of helpful cooperation. Many
of our old theories concerning indus
trial efficiency have broken down. We
have certainly failed to so stabilize
OlIr economic System as tn make il
survive the storms that are inevitable.
Now that we are in process Of rebuild
ing we are compelled to establish new
forms or standards that shall prove
satisfactory and remunerative to capi-
tai and labor alike. Our so-called
Christian civilization must be rendered
more Christian. Our recognition of the
value of Christ's teaching as prac-
tically applied to all forms of human
intercourse must be made more evident.
We cannot divorce our religion from our
daily occupation or our more practical
concerns else it will become an "opiate
for the people"

parents. Of course, should be the teach
ers Of their small sons and daughters in
this respect.
"If we want children to develop the
habit of truth-telling," Miss Dixon ar
CUES. 1--WE must make it easy for them
to be truthful, not easy for them to lie.
- It is natural for children to try
to protect themselves against disagree
able or painful experiences"
In other words, fear must be banished
from the relations between parents and
children. The child lies to avoid punish
ment. Lying, therefore, is but a symp-
tom, an effect, of an unhappy doubt in
the child's mind with regard to his
parents love and sympathy. 1t is the
mistreated child, then. who develops into
a prize evader of the truth.
Miss Dixons logic may not be entirely
sound. The pampered, too tenderly
treated child also may lie. The greedy
child, the imaginative child. the bel
ligerent child, all types Of children may
lie 1t is not only the cowardly or panic
stricken boy or girl who mishandles the
truth.
The principle involved seems to be
that children adjust themselves to the
conditions by which they are surround
ed. 1t follows that each case is highly
individualistic in character. Thus it is
unscientific to be dogmatic in the cir
cumstances.
Miss Dixon's philosophy Of cure is
more attractive than her system of dag
nosis. THE most important essential"
she declares, Gin developing a habit of
truth-telling in children is home
where truth is always told"
If truthful children are wanted, truth
full parents are needed.
1t Is cheering thought that children
may initiate the virtues OF their elders
with approximately as much avidity as
they initiate their faults.

Physicians Incomes.

The American Medical Association
recently has published the results of a
survey of physicians incomes. Six thou
sand doctors of medicine were questioned
with regard to their annual earnings
and the average disclosed by the final
report was $9,764. Walter ]. Green
leaf, writing in the Modern Hospital
concludes that the average annual in
come of medical practitioners In the
United States is higher than that Of
members of the other outstanding pro-
fessions. In other words. 1t pays to be
successful doctor.
Possibly the associations figure is a
trifie high. Country doctors earn less
than their professional brethren in the
cities. Specialists earn more than gen.
eral practitioners. Wide variation of
income within the profession undoubt-
edly exists. But as a general PROPOSE
ton the practice of medicine Is a
profitable business.
The implications of the fact are
numerous and interesting. 1t would
seem that, contrary to a once prevalent
notion, doctors really are paid by their
patients; they collect their fees, though
only in part and often with difficulty.
1t also would seem that being expen-
sively Ill is a common fashion among
the people. And it likewise is apparent
that when people are ill they want
professional treatment, regardless Of its
cost.
The subject has its sober side. Few
families have escaped the experience
of exhausting the savings Of months or
years for the service of doctors, nurses
and pharmacists summoned to the aid
of sick father, mother or child There
has been complaint in the circum-
stances, but no solution for the prob
lem
The laborer is worthy of his hire,
even If the laborer happens to be a
physician, and nobody complains If a
doctor, saving a life. requires adequate
monetary reward. But when the asso-
citation calls attention to 1855 medical
men with gross incomes Of more than
s3o,500 annually an element of doubt
begins to grow in the public mind.
Perhaps the study of the costs Of
illness made by DR.. Ray Lyman Will
bur's committee will help the people
to understand the subject. In the
meantime it is perfectly clear why
thousands of bright young men are
clamoring for admission to medical
schools and COLLEGES

mensurately rapid, effective or general,
it yet remains a fact. Otherwise Sir
Alfred would not have been moved to
speak as he has done, his message would
have been misunderstood and his pur-
pose defeated. Man is not spiritually
bankrupt. If he we're, it would be
useless to attempt to influence him.
The search for better methods Of
labor and for more competent machines
arose from consciousness Of the need
for such things. The quest for better
methods Of life and for a more con-
structive and satisfying use of time,
thought and energy requires a similar
stimulus. Man will perfect and embrace
a more humane system Of ethics when
he feels the need for it. Sir Alfred has
lent the power of his great name to a
cause which already had many dis
tinguished adherents. He takes his
place among the teachers who are
helping man to discover his spiritual
necessities.
1t is cheering manifestation of the
interest of men of science in religion,
civics and psychology that the present
meeting of the British Association
should open with the sounding of this
note.

"Bless our land with honorable in
dustry, sound learning and pure man
ners." Thus we ask in a prayer. For
our country" Possibly at no time in
our more recent history has this petit
ton had a deeper or larger significance.
Never before have we been SO forcibly
reminded of the essential place that
labor holds in the economy Of our life.
1t is designed not only to guarantee to
us the just rewards of our toll and
to safeguard us against the perils of
hunger, but it is indispensable to our
moral well-being and to the develop
ment of the strong things of character.
Enforced idlenesS menaces the stability
of the state, society and the home.
From youth to old age occupation Of
one kind or another is vitality related to
our moral and physical we'll being.
Life begins with training and dis
cipline. Nothing that we get or gain
comes to us without effort. Approx
mately one-third of life is spent in
equipping ourselves and making ready
of life is spent in the work room of
industry. Another third must be con-
sistently given to recreation and the
recuperation of spent energy. Thus
orderly and consistent living has its
rewards and its compensations. Such
plan of life Is designed to bring us
to our highest physical, moral and
spiritual development. 1t is also de-
signed to establish and regulate the
relation we bear one to another.
Honorable industry" Is industry
where the just rewards of labor are
properly recognized and adequately
compensated. In no place are our
virtues or our vices more conspicuously
exhibited than in the place where we
toll. We may profess our faith in God,
our fellowmen and our churches, but
we demonstrate the value of what we
hold of religious conviction in the places
, where we labor. All too frequently
there seems to be no relation between
our religious profession and our daily
practice. We ask for the favor and
blessing Of God upon our efforts, but
we signally fail to extend like favor
and blessing to those with whom we
deal in the work room. Thus we bring
into disrepute our profession of religion
and destroy It's appeal and influence.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Man of Bygones.
But scant is my concern about
The troubles Of today;
My mind reverts unto the shout
OF battles far away.
Whatever topics may unfold
I feel that duty calls
For comment on the days of old
When Caesar fought the Gauls.
Now, though mankind plays many part
OF Righteousness or greed,
The angry tear unbidden starts
AS Of the days 1 read
When splendid warriors met the fate
That cruelty befalls
The brave, and there was valor great
When Caesar fought the Gauls.
Back, back through centuries I turn
And breathe solemn vow;
The stories of the past I'll learn,
Nor heed the needs of now.
The chariot's rattle and the ring
OF steel in ancient brawls
Thrill me, as to those days cling
When Caesar fought the Gauls.

Man and His Inventions.

Sir Alfred Ewing, at the opening
session of the annual meeting of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, expressed apprehension
lest man be overwhelmed by his own
scientific progress.
The idea Is not new. 1t has been
advanced on other occasions But its
repetition serves the useful purpose of
reminding thoughtful men and women
of an authentic danger. THE pageant

Alfred said, is disillusioning. whittier

he asks. What. after all, is its goal?
What its probable influence on the
future of the human race?" These are
pregnant questions.
1.-THE cornucopia of the engineer has
been shaken over all the earth, scat
tering everywhere an endowment of
previously unpossessed and unimagined
capacities and powers. Man was
ethicalfy unprepared for so great a
bounty. In the slow evolution Of morals
he is still unfit for the tremendous
responsibility it entails. The command
of nature has been put into his hands
before he knows how to command him

modern man to the universal bar OF

conditions that the vast majority oi
American retail shoe buyers, who for
merly were addicted to shoes bearing
price tags in two figures, have learned
a lesson in the depression. 1t Is said
that many millions of persons, from
pressure of reduced income or other
wise, have given medium-priced shoes
a trial and have found them generally
satisfactory. Most of the important
shoe manufacturers whose views are
available recognize this trend. 1t Is nc
doubt influential in the price increase
that is expected. The consensus Is that
an increase in cents rather than In
dollars will be recorded.
The growth in shoe production in re-
cent months has presented something
of a paradox in the labor situation
Highly skilled labor Is necessary to
carry through the 210 different func-
tions necessary to completion of a sin
gle shoe. The workers are highly
trained for specific purposes, and since
they are of this type an actual shortage
has occurred in some of the trades. For
example, several manufacturers have
been advertising for stitchers. They are
not to be found and the same is true
Of a limited number Of other types of
workers in the shoe industry.
Wage scales have come down consid-
erably since the heyday of high prices
three or four years ago, but the in
formation available to Government au-
thorities Is that the pay reduction has
not been as great on percentage basis
as has been the reduction in the price
of shoes.
American shoe manufacturers In
their quest for proper price level to
promote production have always to con-
slider possible importations. II Is not
alone practical ever-ready shoes that
may seek American outlets from fac
tories abroad, but an increasing guam
tity of pure shoe novelties which the
American producer must combat. In
Czechoslovakia the factories are scaling
down prices further In an effort to
maintain their selling hold in America
and other export markets. Having the
benefit of the cheapest labor available,
those factories are reported to be In q
position to give the American maker q
run for his money In sales Of novelty
lines and trick designs.
Shoe imports. particularly the novelty
types, seem to be maintained irrespec-
tive Of the higher American tariff.
There is always certain, although
limited. number of buyers In this coIn-
try who will have no other kind of
shoes than those attracting attention.
The Czechoslovakian manufacturers
have discovered this, as well as the
additional fact that If they can offer q
novelty shoe at price slightly below
more practical designs for hard wear,
many Americans are gillible and viii

Higher Prices for Shoes
Are Now in Prospect
BY HARDEN COLFAx.

Milady's shoes. and also those for
men, are due for an increase in price
within the next few months. 1t will
not be drastic increase, but trade ad-
vices received in official quarters tell
the story that an upward movement In
prices is going to be necessary.
This shoe situation has a lot of Pc
culiar angles, according to the authori-
ties. For instance. the July production
was almost a million pairs a day, a
level of output rated as satisfactory. 1t
was only 10 months ago that output
was down to 10000 900 pairs a month.

conditions frightened many retailers
and they have kept their stocks low
until recently. Now, however, the word
having been passed around that an in
crease is coming, the retailers are rush.
ing into the market for new stocks to
beat the gun Of higher cost.
The chain stores are having another
kind Of trouble. They depend upon
volume with small profit to maintain
their net returns at a satisfactory rate.
Consequently, they must find the popu-
lar level. Some of them are seeking to
locate 1t by offering lines in three diff
ferent price levels. Their retail units
apparently are unable to develop for
the factory accurate information as to
the price base most conducive to buy
ing. The chain groups, of course. will
f1nd the level In one of the three quo
tations they are preparing to make on

Government views are that this will
be the medium priced shoe. Experts
maintain also that tastes have changed
and that the simpler shoe will be the
sales getter. so it appears that the
chains and the other factories as well
will stay away to some extent from
heavy production Of more expensive
footwear in favor of the medium priced
