Rain Needed BadIv
To Halt Forest Fires

More than 1000 acres of timber
land in southwestern Virginia
have already been denuded in a
series of forest fires now raging
in districts near the Blue Ridge
Mountains.
Governor Perry ordered several
hundred Civilian Conservation
Corps workers to assist State
rangers in fighting the blazes, but
the CCC men were sent back to
camp when it was found that the
fires were beyond control.
Only a heavy rain, rangers said,
will prevent much more damage
being done.

BAPT|STS TOLD
: HOW To AVERT
REVOLUTION

Warning that the country is on
the verge Of a revolution was
issued today by the Rev. DR.. B. P.
Robertson, chairman of the com.
mittee on social service of the Dis
trict of Columbia Association of
Baptist Churches, now holding its
fifty-Seventh annual meeting at
the First Baptist Church. DR..
Robertson said:
The present condition Of cap
ItaI and labor in our country is
critical. The fact that 4 per
cent Of the population own and
control 80 per cent of the wealth
opens the way for Goddess rev.
0lutiOn."
DR.. Robertson outlined two ways
Of solving the problem. First the
Christian method of brotherhood
with both capital and labor prac-
ticing the Golden Rule, and Sec
ond, the force method which he
explained as the contiscation of
and redistribution of wealth. He
declared:
"If the Christian people Of
this country do not cOnsecrate
themselves to the Christ method
the situation will be solved by
revolution"
One Of the most important re-
ports on the calendar predicted
that it would take Is years for
prohibitionists to regain ground
lost during the last 18 years. The
statement was made:
Gas soon as prohibition was
written into our national con-
StitutiOn the forces that cam.
paigned for it went to Sleep"
The report condemned gambling
and the use of cigarettes. Reso-
lutions committing the association
to renewed warfare on LIQUOR,
gambling and tobacco, are ex-
pected to be passed before the
conclusion Of the session.

AAA Approves 1882
Crop Cut P1ument

Payment of 1882 to 36 Virginia
farmers in return for reducing
hurley tobacco acreage has already
been approved by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, al.
though the reduction campaign is
only a few weeks old.
Throughout the five States in
which the tobacco is an important
crop, 4,276 growers have signed
contracts. They will receive a to-
tai of $178,132.

have lost their skill and dexterity.
In the Warren Shirt Com
pany'S factory-the staff upon
which the whole community
leans-aged workers ply the
needle, thread the bobinS of the
humming machines, sing their
song of the shirt" in leisurely
cadence, earning what they can,
which is never much and hardly
enough for their needs.
They are paid on a piecework
basis. The rate per piece is
even slightly higher than the
code requires.
But at the end of each week
fully half of the factory's ITS
employees have failed to earn the
$13 minimum which NRA codes
insist must be paid to cotton
garment workers. Many have
failed by as much as IS.
Production Falls Off
Nor is their loss the factory'S
gain. The owners sit helplessly
by and watch the weekly pro.
duction totals reach only 800
dozen shirts, while plants Of
similar size, in industrial centers
where unskilled hands are
quickly weeded out, produce
twice that number.
Enter the Blue Eagle-with its
inflexible provision that no worker
shall receive less than $13 a week.
Anton Rakow, the superin'
tendent, said:
'Tt will ruin this factory.
81 am helpless. I cannot pay
the slower workers a third more
than they earn and still make
shirts that will compete with
factories in the cities.
"And have to take the labor

Of the workers in our factory is
over Al years. If I discharge
the older, slower wOrkers-mOSt
of them aged wOmen-I will
have to operate with the hands
that remain, and there are not
enough Of them to keep the
plant going profitably.
eff pay the slower ones a
bonus to bring them to the mini
mum wage, I cannot keep the
the plant going, either. In any
case, 1 am forced to shut down
the plant and move elsewhere"
PAY is BREATH OF LIFE
Therein lies the tragedy of
WarrenSburg as it slowly takes
shape before the eyes of the citi.
zens. The factory is a small thing
by comparison with the huge pro,
duction plants of the cities. But
WarrenSburg is a small place and
the shirt factorys annual pay roll
of 100000 is its breath of life. MI
PaSco said:
"Take away the shirt factory
pay roll and WarrenSburg is fin
iShed. / don't know what will
become of it or its people,"
Mr.. Pasco's own business, a
small lumber mill, is virtually shut
down, due also, he said, to NRA
codes.
Standing by pile of uncut
logs, he told this correspondent
that they would remain uncut as
long as the price-fixing provisions
of the lumber code remained in
effect. He explained:
II have q million feet of
dressed lumber in my yard. I
could sell it prOfitably at $34 q
thousand, on an average. The
code demands that 1 sell it for
approximately $50 a thousand
higher. can't sell it for that

instant we are among the yachts at Cowes and
see one of the finest of them tipping sharply,
her rail under, in a stiff breeze. Here is an
excellent print Of a regatta of little boats.
We see the English farmer plowing and
harvesting; we see lovely glade in Epping
Forest, and We get glimpse of folk dancers on
the great lawn at Berkeley Castle.
Then, there are the hunting pictures-Eng-
lish sport life, Cub Hunting" "A Meet at
Leicestershire, " Following the Hounds" Shoot
ing Over the Crianlarach Moors," to say nothing
of a picture of Grouse on the Wing" Also We
have a picture of the great English game Of
cricket being played on the village green at
Leigh, in Kent. Extremely interesting are the
views Of London-"The Embankment at Night"
for example.
OF English industrial life there is pictorial
evidence in such prints as "Staffordshire Pot
teries," and an interior of one of the Sheffield
steel works, Tapping Furnace" showing re-
markabe Interpretation of light and shade. In
fact, even the factory chimneys of Lancashire
have been made to take on a pictorial aspect,
as has the great train THE Flying Scotsman"
photographed as it crossed Berwick Bridge.
AS the art critic Of the London Times has
truly said: From the circumstance that the
attention of the photographer was otherwise
occupied-on the subject of his picture, whether
landscape, industry sport-this exhibition is
entirely free from that conscious imitation of
the effects Of painting which makes the ordi-
nary Photographic exhibition so tiresome." But
strangely enough the artistic quality has crept
in and become dominant. This same writer
notes. furthermore, the fact that the industrial
subjects, while primarily illustrative in intent,
bring out to remarkable degree the romance
OF industry, which is, as We ourselves recall,
what Joseph Pennell strove for and succeeded
in evidencing IN his Wonder of Work" htho-
graphs.
1t is sheer wonder that overcomes one when
viewing the photographs in this exhibition of
Mount Everest, which are reckoned among the
finest examples of high altitude photography
yet produced. They were taken under the most
dimcult conditions-conditions which required
the greatest possible courage to face and to
master-a romantic adventure Of the twentieth

century. With this knowledge, these mountain.
top photographs are found of the utmost interest
But, pictorialy, q print of the flyers themselves
and one of the airplanes grounded beside
passing procession Of elephants with sumptuous
paraphernalia will be found most engaging,
especially the latter in which there is excellent
composition as well as extraordinary subject
transportation, the picturesque past and the
equally picturesque present. This exhibition
will remain on view until April %.
THE Landscape Club of Washington is hold
ing an exhibition of members works in the
Mount Pleasant Branch Public Library during
April. This consists of "a paintings, the ma
jority Of which are in oils. Among the excep-
tions are snow picture, "Winter-Harpers
Ferry" water color, and an exceptionally good
one, by. A. H. O. Role and painting in black
and white of Wood Pussies," by r. Bruce
Horsfalls made as an illustration for Nature
Magazine Bjorn P. Egeli, who is primarily
a portrait painter, contributes two portrait
heads and water color of "Shipyard" In
almost every instance these are pictures OF
places. pictures painted because the artist saw
in the subject beauty charm which he was
eager to transcribe. For this reason the paint
ings are understandable and attractive. Forty
more years ago landscapes were always
painted with the purpose Of setting forth some
phase of nature or preserving some one OF
natures mood, and because they achieved this
end they were purchased hung in private homes
and found sources Of untold pleasure. But that
was before self-expression had become fetish
and the cult of the ugly was formed. That was
also before the day of the camera and the auto
mobile. But no photograph can ever take the
place Of a painting sensitively and sympa-
thetically rendered by a capable artist, for the
latter is distinctly human document. It is
for this reason that original works of art. even
when far from supreme in merit make distinct
appeal. For example, these paintings by mem-
bers of the Landscape Club are not great works
Of art, and not for a moment have the painters
considered them. but they ring true, they
are sincere and they represent on the part OF
the painters pursuit Of beauty. They are color.
