Heard two men on the street the other
day discussing Whitman and the days
when he lived here, those momentous,
stirring days of the great Civil War. They
talked of the different places in the city
he had roomed, no doubt stirred to recol-
lection by letter which previously had
appeared on this page.
Whitman was a born "loafer," as he
liked to think Of himself. BY that, un-
doubtedly, he meant observer. 1t is almost
impossible to see things if you are always
in hurry. Many fine people 60 through
life so hurried and worried that they
never have time to see one-tenth they
look at.
1t must be true that many persons are
so chained down to the routine of life
that they actually have little If any
opportunity for observation as they go
along A certain amount of education,
so-called, may be essential for the best
sort of observation of the type we have
in mind. But this may be said of all
looking. The inventive mind will "see"
something where the non-inventive type
will see nothing.
Only. a general acquaintance with
Nature, as taught in the schools, is neces-
sary for any one to be a good observer
of leaf and flower.
The main difficulty lies in failure to
note the little manifestations. Any
one can see peony bloom, but not
SO many the red tips as they first come
through the earth.
Yet these peony tips are marvellous
things, fragile, yet able to poke their way
through the toughest of red clays.
How do they do. it, exactly?
Not even scientist could tell you,
else he could explain life and all it's
manifestations, the swelling force which
impells the tender first leaves through the
hardest soil
A perfectly human tendency is to
minimize what is not fairly thrown at
us. No other age, perhaps, succumbed
SO completely to this as our own. We
are in the hands of master psychologists
who use our emotion to blind our reason.
This applies in all walks and departments
of life and living.
1t is essential for the person who de-
sires to make even an attempt to lead a
complete life to recognize such an effort,
and to take intellectual steps to mini
mize it.
One of these steps is to become inter
ested in small beginnings
Refuse to be diverted from an honest
belief that the budding of vegetation at
this time of year, for instance, is some
thing more than just thing for poets
to sing about.
1t is great deal more. 1t is life in one
of its major departments, life on the
move. 1t is life manifesting itself again,
right before our eyes, if we have mind
enough behind the eyes to realize it and
really look.
Eyes, after all, are only mind. Do
you think you see the flowers" of NAPLES
with your eyes? Eyes are but cameras
They can see no more of themselves than
the latest candid camera sees the pic
lures it takes.
The mind does the seeing.
1t Is particularly important in Spring
to see everything, because everything
is SO delightfully."- fresh and new.
A good beginning at seeing is to de-
termine to see something interesting
where before you never bothered to look.
Cherry bloSsoms-heavens, yes! But
also shrubs trees, grass, flowers, vege-
tables, old vines and old posts.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton,
On a Country Road.

In a wayside garage we left our car
To tramp the open road:
In the dusk sky shone luminous star
We called our guide, our lode;
For no setting sun made golden the way:
1t had been soft twilight all Of the day.
Along the wide road, mysterious, dark,
Stretched birches tall and slim;
Though white as our lode-star cleaned
their bark
Their depth was dusky dim;
And cottontail in the path ahead
When we neared it into their shelter
fed.
AS the night fell came mackeral sky,
Patches of grayish white
That hid and disclosed moon on high,
Obscuring our stars faint light;
We tramped on, half awed by the weird
roadway,
Now silver, now dark, in the moons
shy play.

The Strike Settlement.

As in the case of the General Motors
onstration of the settlement of the
Chrysler strike is the enormous and un-
necessary cost of reaching agreements
by this method.
The question at issue when the nego-
tiations between the United Automobile
Workers of America and the manage
ment of the Chrysler Corporation broke
down and the sit-down commenced was
whether the union should be recognized
as the sole agency for collective bar
gaining for the employees in Chrysler
plants. There was no fundamental dis
agreement over working hours, wages or
even recognition of the union. The cor
poration had offered recognition on sub
stantially the same basis already granted
in the agreement with the steel corpora
tion-recognition on the basis of men,
bership only.
Now the strike is ended and some
$1,000 workers, idle for a month, will go
back to work through an agreement
recognizing the union on the basis of
its membership only, with guarantees by
the union against further sit-doWns
matched by guarantees from the COR
poration for continued negotiations over
other questions in connection with wages
and working conditions.
The union won, in addition, a point
that amounts to preferential rights in
collective bargaining, with the corpora
ton promising not to engage in "compe-
tition" through the use of company
unions or from A. F. of L. or other or
ganizations. The agreement, in this re-
spect, follows pretty closely the nature
of the agreement reached with General
Motors. Why was thirty-day strike
necessary to bring it about?
The agreement is to cover labor rela-
tions for about year. An interesting
point is raised in the fact that it seems
plainly to controvert a fundamental
principle of the Wagner labor relations
act, if union claims of membership are
true. For that act gives the union with
majority membership the right to act
as the exclusive collective bargaining
agency for the rest of the employees. Tile
union claims a membership in the
Chrysler plant of some $4,000 out of
total of about $1,000 employees, large
majority. The explanation doubtless lies
in the unwillingness by the corporation
to grant the claims of union membership,
and those claims will never be put to the
test until an election is held. And no
election is sought now by either side.
The settlement of this strike has again
brought great credit to Gov. Murphy
for his patient forbearance in the face
of grave threats to orderly government,
although he has again played with fire
in condoning the defiance of court orders
which made the sit-doWn effective. But
the real agency which brought about
settlement of the strike was public opin-
ion. Public opinion has gradually been
nodded in opposition to the sit-down and
the forceful seizure of property which
it syrnbolizes. AS William Green said
recently, the labor movement can hope
for no great progress in defiance of public
opinion. And John L. Lewis and others
working with him for expansion of the
c. I. o. afflliates are astute enough to
recognize the same thing.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Lazy Life.
Dreamt about lazy life
Beneath the sky so blue,
Where all the world was free from strife
With nothing much to do.
But wheresoe'er I turned my quest
Sweet peace was unrevealed;
There was the spirit Of unrest
In forest, town and field.
Dreamt about the pleasures rife
With idleness supreme;
Found at last the lazy life
Was nothing but a dream.

Miss Mannin Is an unconventional
traveller, and she naturally attracts and
collects experiences and adventures
which the usual tourist or student would
not encounter. Her story is, therefore,
as unconventional as her vagabond life
filled to overfloWing with interesting
events that to the more timid soul seem
far removed from the normal concept
of what a pilgrimage should be. But
it must be remembered that this author,
traveller and observer would find little of
interest In the conventional and ap-
proved method of seeing the world and
uncovering the mechanism which con-
trols the visible actions but which fire.
uuently fails to alter the unspoken and
closely guarded inner convictions OF its
peoples.
While it is to be regretted that the
sketches and photographs of Miss Mach
shen have been omitted, the twoscore
or so of photographs used in illustration
quite adequately embellish the book and
add to its attractiveness as the perma-
nent record of a pilgrimage that, in spite
of its trials and unpleasant experiences,
is in reality genuinely sincere account
of Miss Mannin's observations and i'm
pressions in the course of the seven
thousand miles OF q very much worth
while pilgrimage through largely forbid
den territory.
