". FRANCE
By M. K. wHITELEATHER

PARIS, June 14.-F-enchmen in overalls, instead of fearing the ma- chine, are trying to master it.
 They see the machine as an i1l- strument of progress capable of giving them more leisure, rather than as a huge monster threaten ing to rob them of their bread
 The French General Labor con- federation takes this view, but iso- lated outbursts bob up from time to time to indicate some fear that the machine is an enemy of labor.
 A textile machine recently was smashed, by angry workers who were dismissed because their hands were no longer needed This re- called similar incidents of a cen tury ago when the first machine process was set up in the Lyon silk industry and when the first steamboat to appear in France was sunk by laborers.
 Labor Unicns' Program
 The battle of labor unions is to force employers to accompany industrialization with social pro- gress and to diminish working hours in order to re-employ men thrown out of jobs. The labor program is threefold, calling for reduction of hours, better working conditions and greater participa- ton by workers in running busi- ,nesses
 France did not have to deal with naturalization until after the war Mechanization of factories was carried out during the war by the government in order to meet de- mands of that conflict. Now a movement is on foot to aid agri- culture and to limit uses of the machine.
 Artisans Predcminate
 State laws, however, are con- fined to protection against injury and to greater responsibility by large industrial concerns. Oth- erwise, as far as the state is con- cerned, the machine is free to ex- pand.
 The effects of industrialization have not been felt in France as much as in America, Great Britain and Germany. The small work shop with from one to 10 workers prevail in France and artisans with tlse'.-' shop, kitchen and bed room s-de by side predominate.
 Tho 1u.orlohile industry is one of the mort highly mechanized, while p--s 1uet ton of artificial gas by modern methods has eliminated 30 percs--.t of former laborers.

Once I read in child's book that natural beauty comes more readily to those who begin and end each day in cheerful mood. So the first thing, I do each morn ing is sing the most pleasant of songs can think of. By the time I am ready for my morning stroll, which I take regardless of the weather, I haven't a care in the world.

BUSINESS NEEDS STABILITY

While business has needed a good
deal of reforming. to cut out unde-
sirable practices, it also needs sta
bility. II needs to know what ii
can depend upon. Uncertainty de-
presses business, while the prob
abilities of favorable conditions have
stimulating effect.
Business people are constantly
forced to decide between two courses
of action. Shall they branch out. or
shall they play safe? The motive
that leads people to engage in busi-
ness, to invest capital and employ
labor, is the hope of making money.
They desire to earn a profit which
is the reward of faithful and efficient
service.
II conditions are very disturbed
and uncertain. they go slow and
play safe Enterprises which they
had had in mind arc given up or
postponed But if conditions look
good. if the people seem to have
money or are on the way to get il.
then business people spread out,
they put on more help, they buy
more goods, they provide more
equipment, they enlarge their facili-
ties. 1t is this branching out and
spreading over large undertakings
that brings on prosperity.
At the present time. the country
has made marked gain over the
low point. But the outlook is still
clnuded by more or less uncertain
jy. The policies of the government
upon various matters are still in
doubt.
If business knows what it can de-
pend upon. if it can feel reasonably
sure of the conditions that it has to
meet. il can usually go ahead and
operate. The great Improvement
that has been made in the banking
system gives business something
solid to build ON. Now if the poll
cies of the government can be clear
ly outlined. so that business can
know what ii has TO comply with, |
much paralyzing uncertainty will |
have been removed.

FOREST FIRES

The spriugtime is a period of spe-
cial danger from forest fires. The
floor OF the woodlands dries up to the
point where the least spark will set
il afire The careless smoker driv-
Ing along a woodland road tOsses a
burning cisaret end into the bushes.
Soon little curl of smoke goes up,
then tongue of flames cats its way.
In few hours the whole woodland
may he alire. and thousands of dol
lars Of valuable material are con-
sumed
II is one Of the fine results of the
Civilian Conservation Corps work,
that many projections against such
fires have been created. These
losses already show reduction.
But no amount of work for fire pre-
Ncntion will stop such losses. un-
til careless people rearn never to
allow a loose spark to touch wood
land refuse.

NATURES GRAND SPECTACLE

The world of out doors is a theatre
OH which mighty drama is per
formed. Each day is an episode in
that drama Many of us go through
life unconscious of this marvellous
spectacle.
Every day some new mystery fea-
ture in that drama is performed. We
see nature furnishing her trees and
plants with invisible nourishment,
drawn from the depths of the soil.
Somehow those seemingly dead Gle
ments are transformed into rcviving
vegetation. into the shimmerinG
green of foliage. the gorgeous bios
SONS. and the Fascinating color and
nourishing food of valuable fruits.
If life seems dull and prOsaic. it
is because we have never opened our
eyes to this fascinating spectacle.
There Is excitement and thrill to be
had every day in our gardens. if we
study the ways of Natures crea-
tions. and take part in that drama
by cultivating beautiful flowers and
useful vegetables.

COMPETITION AND ADVERTISING

Competition is said to be the life
of trade, and it does spur people on
to greater activity. People will
hustle more, if they feel that other
wise competitors will get the trade
away. But competition can't produce
its full effect, unless it is accom-
panied by advertising.
A store may offer excellent compe-
tition. and have values that are we'll
worth purchasing. But il that store
does not call public attention to
those goods in some way. the peo-
pic may never know about them
Thus the competition that these
goods should offer is ineffective and
does not produce results, either for
the benefit of the public. or for the
good Of the concern that is selling
them.

BORROWING MONEY

Business is better and credit is
easier. says Jesse II. Jones. chair
man of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. lie finds that bankers
are now looking for good lending
opportunities. following long pc
riOd of stagnation when the first
emphasis was placed on caution.
There has been complaint in many
places that it was not possible to
borrow money for good business or
construction propositions But
while there are always plenty of
people who want to borrow. many
OF them can not show assets or in
come sufficient to Justify such loans
Some of these people might well
inquire how they cOuld run their
business SO that il would be easier
to secure credit.
A man who has desired To on
gage in certain business remarks
that he looked over concerns in a
number of cities and towns. with
the idea of such purchase. He re-
marks that the bookkeeping systems
of number of these concerns
seemed to him faulty and he could
not tell from their books how their
income and expenses were running.
or what their assets and liabilities
were. II would usually take an eX-
pert accountant to form an opinion
what these concerns were worth.
The owner would get out his pencil
and paper aud do considerable figur-
ing from his hooks. before he could
tell what he had made or lost for
the preceding years
1t would seem likely that many
such concerns. which keep books in
au unfinished state. would have diff
fculty in borrowing money The
concern that knows Just how It
stands and just how it, trade f.;
running. is the one that commands
confidence. That appears to bc the
first essential with which tho bor-
rover Of money should comply.

Spring FLOODS

Every year about this time the
rivers of the nation. or many of

causing irreparable damage. is to-
tai loss. And it occurs largely he
cause man has tampered with the
order Of nature. With his careless
hands he has upset the balance Of
natural forces.
When the forests were ruthlessly
swept away, the woodland carpet
that used to hold back flood waters
and let them out gradually. was de-
stroyed. Now the water runs with
wasteful rush, flooding the low
lands, and exhausting the supplies
needed for the droughts of summer.

THE CwA FINISHES

a great government enterprise, the
Civil Works administration. has
ended its labors. except for finishing
some incomplete projects. AT its
high point il accomplished the stu
pendous task of providing work for
l.000.000 people. Some of that
money did not produce much practi-
cal result. But the majority of the
people thereby aided would have
had to receive relief if they had not
had the work When you give a
man hand-out of money or food,
you &c; nothing in return. But
thousands of cities and towns have
some useful improvements to show

STIMULATING CONSTRUCTION

There is a need for these houses.
Millions of families are living in a
doubled up condition. Innumer-

them would be able to rent or buy
a small home, but rent or price

Many of these folks few high in

wings have been clipped since then.
They figure their spending ability

ability. and they consider that there
must be some margin for saving.
The construction industry has
probably been the slowest of the
big activities to feel the spur of
