THE VILLAGE CRAFTSMAN

According to the latest reports of the develop
ment commissioners in Britain, village workshops
throughout the country are experiencing graft
flying increase of trade, 1t is good to know that
mass production has not succeeded in ousting the
craftsman; for although his wages are, for the
most part no longer essential to the existence OF
the community, and although it may be that re
pairs" are now the mainstay of his job, yet his
craftsmanship sets standard, and conforms to an
ideal, that make it, at the least, healthy nflu-
ence upon the machine age. The tradition pre-
served by the master craftsmen, from Tubal Cain
to the ancient Guilds, from Wayland the Smith to
the village blacksmith of today tradition that
calls for beauty as we'll efficiency, and would
sell all work fashioned for, and with, delights
one that we could i'll afford to lose.
The machine cannot hope, of course, to repro
duce the beauty that springs from the free exer-
else of an individual talent and technique; but,
undoubtedly the aesthetic qualities of craftwork,
and the growing appreciation of them, have done
much to foster demand for greater artistic merit
in machine-made products. AS a result industry Is
concerning itself more and more with design, and
the harmonizng of style, material and Junction.

WHAT HAPPENED IN FLORIDA

The truth is that sitting senator, backed by
the administration, has an advantage over his OPP
ponents in party primary not easy to exaggerate.
Mr.. WilcOx's friends say that he had his fight won
up to the time the presidents new pump-priming
program was announced. From then on he lost
ground The prospect of more millions for local
distribution and of large additions to the relief
rolls drew thousands to Senator Peppers support.
You didn't have to spread the information that if
they wanted money, jobs or relief, Senator Pepper
was the man to tie to- They knew without being
told. What it comes down to is this-in effect,
under existing conditions, administration candi-
dates make their campaigns with the taxpayers
money, not their own. 1t is revolving state of
affairs, but is the truth. If anything were needed
to stress the necessity of joining forces by those
who believe that this sort of thing is dangerous
and intolerabe, the Florida primaries would seem
to be it. There have been few clearer demonstra-
tions of the power of money.-Frank Kent.

STOP PRESS!

News flash from Memphis: "Tennessees budget
for the 1879 biennium is balanced" For news
paper readers Of the younger generation who may
not be familiar with these odd phrases we may
say that budget or account balancing are terms
listed by dictionaries among words still IN Gus
tomary usage. "To balance" (Webster, 1884 sixth
definition, term already showing signs OF non
usage and unpopularity) is quantity defined as Ito
arrange or prove so that the sum of the debts
equals the sum of the credits" And in its seventh
definition, Webster unflinchingly sticks to its ar
gument by claiming that to balance means ito
eoualize the total debts and credits of (accounts
or an ACCOUNT as, he paid five dollars to balance
our accounts" Well, we'll never argue again that
politicians shouldn't read the dictionary into the
Conversational Record.-Christian Science Monitor.

BEHIND THE SCENES

BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

of food for political thought and
speculation.
Charges have peen made that
a great wad of money was poured
into the campaign to beat Pepper
and that the WPA was fiagrantly
prostituted in the New Deal
effort to renominate him. II
YOU assume that either or both
charges were true, you must also
assume that the same factor or
factors will carry weight in other
state primary campaigns this year.
incidentally, New Dealers who
were working feverishly behind
the scenes for Pepper complained
that they had little or no help
from National Chairman Jim Far
ley, who had been counted on to
dissuade former Governor Dave
Sholtz from entering the primary,
but had failed to do so.
The Pepper victory was by no
means part of a far-fiung en-
dorsement of wage-hour legisla-
ton, since congressman in Ala
bama and Indiana won renomina-
ton generally, regardless of their
positions on that issue or any
other.
This failure of Democratic
voters to GUST any Of the "ins," ir-
respective of the degree of sup
port they have given various adj
ministration measures, is a Curl
Gus phenomena-previously noted
in the Illinois primary reSults-in
the face of widespread belief that
large masses of voters are discon-
tented. 1t raises doubt whether
any of the conservative Demo-
cratic members whom New Deal
ers would like to defeat this year
such as George of Georgia
Smith of South Carolina and Tyd
ings of Maryland-can be q,
lodged from their seats.

AsNEw CONFESSION OF IMPOTENCE
Ssss (By BRUCE CATToN)

tss by BRUCE CA1ION)
2you can get an idea of the queer kind OF
thinking that desperate people resort to
by noticing that League of Nations COM
RssiOn is now formally considering the
creation of neutral zones in wartime for
the protection of children.
,sThis proposition, advanced by we'll
meaning delegation from Rumania, would
have such neutral zones established
whenever war broke out. BY interna-
tiOnal agreement, the zones would not be
bombed, sprayed by poison gas, or visited
by any other of the distinguishing features
of civilized warfare.
To these zones would be moved, en-
masse, all the children from the potential
battle areas of the warning countries.
Now the practical objections to this are
so many and so obvious that it is hardly
necessary to mention them.
The really significant thing is that the
mere fact that the proposal was made in
dictates how desperate the human race is
growing under the spur of its own failure
to become civilized, and how fuzzy its
thinking is under such circumstances.
No man who pretends to be civilized can
look on the bombing of cities, the whole
sale destruction of non-combatants, the in
discriminate attacks on densely-populated
districts, without feeling the most pro-
found horror. b. e.
But to suggest, by the way of cure, that
we deliberately erect neutral zones and
transport children to them by the hundreds
of thousands is to confess our utter i'm
potence to solve problem which we our
selves created.
For the way to stop this horror, after
all, is simple: stop bombing cities.
No child was ever killed by bomb that
hit an infantry platoon, an airport, dock
yard, an arsenal, fort, barracks or a
battleship. - =
Children are killed only when the gen.
erals send their bombers out to attack the
districts where the children live.
tits not expecting too much of the gen.
erals to ask that they fight soldiers instead
of children. After all, their descent into
barbarism has not even the saving excuse
of practically; no war and no battle has
yet been won by the bombing of children.
By continuing the practice, all generals
convict themselves of unftneSs to inhabit
a civilized world. q ~ ........
And unless we can think of something
better than neutral zones, we convict our
selves along with them.

be better than bronze. The de-
crease in heating power due to
bright paint is caused by decrease
in radiated heat.
"The effect of metal covers will
depend somewhat on the type of
cover. The best type Of cover is
one which provides an ample
space for air circulation around
and through the radiator. As far
as ! know, no tests have been
made to determine the effect Of
covers; but my opinion is that
best results would be obtained by
painting the inside Of the covers
with bronze or aluminium paint to
throw the heat back into the air
stream. If this is done, believe
it will make very little difference
what paint is used on the outside
of the covers. q am referring to
covers which enclose the sides Of

will have approximately the same
effect as bronze paint"
