THE VILLAIN MACHINE ACTUALLY A
FRIEND
CBy BRUCE CATION

What we are getting into right now may
be another depression, bareback OF the
old one or Just a mild seasonal recession,
but it is pretty safe bet that before long
someone will be standing up in meeting 10
blame it all on that old villain, The Ma
chine.
The indictment is familiar to all OF us.
Work that used to be done by human hands
Is done nowadays by machines. The hands
are idle, and the man who is attached to
them is on nobodys payroll. Consequently
he is not in the market for the goods the
machines produce; consumption fails 10
keep up with demand, and every so often
we get into the direst sort of mess.
But simply to restate the old indictment
gets us nowhere. Old Man Machine has
been in court periodically for about dec
AIDE now. and no one has any very clear
idea about what, if anything, should be
done. The one certainty is that ne IS mere
to stay and that we might Just as we'll
make the best of him.
And since that is true, it is worth while
TO have a look at the other side OF the pic
ture.
A little booklet which shows the ma
chimes rating on the credit side of the
ledger has just been produced by the Ma
tional Machine Tool Builders Association,
The booklet invites you to go right down
the line in your own home and see how the
machine has made life easier and less eA
pensive for you. The kitchen, for instance
it is infinitely handler than it was in grand
mothers day, and it is the scene OF far less
drudgecy. Why? Because of machinery.
About a dozen years ago the nation was
producing some 100000 electric refrigera-
tors a year They sold at about S4OO
apiece. Today, with production stepped
up to 100000 a year, the average price
is S163-and you get better refrigerator.
Go down in the basement and look at
the washing machine. In 1921 the average
washer cost S142; today's machine, which
is much better, costs around 500. Or go
out in the garage and inspect the family
auto-and, as you do, reflect that thirty
years ago the auto was toy for the veal
thy, whereas today the average auto-Own-
ing family has an income of about $50 a
week In that same period of time, Incl
dentally, the average wage in the auto in
dustry has risen from 20 to 80 cents an
hour, and the number of auto workers has
jumped from $4,000 to 100000.
Now these are not experimental cases.
The same sort of thing is true all along
the line. The machine age has made the
things we use cheaper, better and more
plentiful than they were generation ago.
And our troubles, perhaps, have come
because we have not gone far enough with
the machine; not because we have gone
too far. Abundance, cheapness, use-our
salvation lies there, somewhere, instead OF
in demands that the machines be re-
strained.

WASHINGTON. - Perhaps the
w most surprising report to reach
Washington lately says that Gov
Herbert H. Leh N Of New YORK
will contest next year for the SEN
atorial seat now held by Senator
Robert F. Wagner. -,
This story does not jibe well
with memories Of the hard time
Roosevelt had getting Lehman to
run for governor in 1886, on the
theory that his presence on the
ticket would greatly strengthen
Roosevelt's chances in New York
II was generally understood the
governor was fed up with public
life and yearned to get back into
business.
Nevertheless, the sources of the
report are such that it is being
given genuine credence in high
places. Relations between the
governor and the President have
not been warm since Roosevelt
who had been expected to be a
weaker candidate in their home
state, ran ahead of Lehman by
more than 100000 votes.
CONFUSION and varying types
~ and degrees Of fear seem to be
prevalent in the minds of mos,
members of Congress now that
they're back and theoretically or
the job.
Into the committee rooms and
onto the floors Of Congress goes
the argument between the admin
istration, which says business
policies are responsible for the
current economic slump, anc
business, which says administra-
ton policies are responsible FOL
the current economic slump.
The President has proclaimed
willingness to help small anc
average-sized businesses which
may be hampered by the corpora
ton surplus profits tax: Thai
means that a big fight is likely be-
tween the administration and bic
businesses which want that ta>
ard other measures repealed II

IS THE PRESIDENT AWAKENING?

DISPATCHES from Washington are trying some
what feverishly to indicate that the president Is
at last awakening to the peril now threatening the
nation by reason of his continued hostility to and
oppression of legitimate business.
These dispatches would be heartening it
not seemingly apparent that they are inspired
from sources other than the fountain head, from
sources where the wish is father of the thought,
that are whistlng in the graveyard as it were.
AS vet there is not the slightest lip from the
White House to show that Mr.. Roosevelt has any
such intention and doubtful that he can
be shaken from his taxation program, the wage
hour law and other busness-wrecking legislation
into anv sort of movement to encourage the "eco-
nomic royastS.'
What is needed, IL fact, to restore the shattered
confidence of the nations business leaders, to drive
out fear and substitute aggressive psychology Is
not so much new regulations TO help but ABANDON
ment of old regulations that hamper, or threat
ened regulations that have destroyed enthusiasm
In other words, if the president really wants to
stop this alarming phenomena of mills shutting
down in mid-November, usually the peak season,
of business men drawing in at the time when they
are usually punging, he should back-track on the
projects he has sponsored like the supreme court
plan, the wage-hour bill, the tax undistributed
corporation SURPRISES and the capital gains and
losses tax.
The nonsense of the dream that the government
can create business by artificial methods has been
thoroughly exposed. The truth that the govern
ment can run the nation into depression by
stranglng rather than cooperating with business
IS in fair way to be demonstrated in disastrous

Children like nothing so much as a surprise and that is something mothers should keep in mind about children's eating Especially if a child is indifferent about food.
 It doesn't matter much just what the surprise is. It may be, for in stance, the dish in which the morn ing cereal is served. The prepared cereal people recognized that when they started giving away cereal bowls that had pretty pictures in the bottom.
 It may be the pitcher from which the cereal cream is poured My own boy took a sudden fancy to his morning glass of milk simply be- cause it was poured from a china COW pitcher.
 Switch The Fruit
 Try serving a different fruit or fruit juice each day for period of two weeks-and don't tell your child beforehand what it's going to be- You can start with orange juice and go down the line-pine- apple, grape, grapefruit, cranberry, tomato, apricot or apple juice. You can work through list of cooked, dried or fresh fruits Better yet, all

ternate fruits and juices
 In some cases prizes will do the trick. Special trips, movie, small artilces or little favors will do wonders in making willing cereal eater of a belligerent one.
 Every child should have a quart of milk a day. Part of it may be served in creamed soups, escal- loped foods, custards and buildings or cocoa or hot chocolate.
 Every child also should eat a certain amount of bread. Try changing from graham, whole wheat, bran, corn, raisin, or date bread-and spreading each with a jam, a jelly, brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, shaved maple sugar, honey or maple syrup.
 Strategy in Mods
 Placing foods in unusual molds also is good strategy. Baked mix lures, gelatin salads and corn starch buildings will prove espe- cially intriguing if they are nodded and then decorated with bits of colored vegetables, fruits or gum drops.
 The between-meal snack is an other important factor in the child's well-being. It should never take the place of meal and should
