Kresge Bldg. 3 Ter ee ree rere enreecbonn hy nen (Official City, State and County Newspaper) The Born Brusher Another of the fine old traditions has per- shed, this time in New York. A committee of the council of master barbers, in confer- ence with the health commissioner, has agreed to stop the brushing of clothes by porters in their shops. The historic ritual of passing a broom vigor- ously over the anatomy of the barbered cus- tomer has always had about it the elements of mysticism. Obviously its purpose is not to clean his habiliments, since the health com- missioner in this case condemns the practice as highly unsanitary, and it has long been recognized by students in this field that the very quickest way to soil a light felt hat is to entrust it to the ministrations of the porter’s brush. Moreover, it satisfies no pride or esthetic fonging in the person ministered to, since in most cases he regards it as a bore and walks away in embarrassment during the ceremony. And it cannot be the incidental tips which lure the brusher to his curious calling since there are many means of making a larger living. It must be that those who embrace the art do so in response to some supernatural call, like Joan of Arc or the occasional artist who professes to be only the instrument of a higher intelligence. One patently must be born a brusher. New Yorkers doubtless will not be sorry that the brusher is doomed. They can only wonder in what new channel those who have devoted a career to whisking imaginary dust from the collar of the customer can now direct their strange talent and undoubted energy. Literary Advancement European writers visiting the United States are struck with the excellent standard of books that Americans generally seem to be reading. When the British find evidence of a trace of culture in America, natives need have no doubt that it exists. These authors may be somewhat prejudiced because of the popularity their own works en- joy on this side of the Atlantic. But the fact remains that the publishing business in the United States was never more flourishing, nor literary output at higher level by critical stand- ards, than is the case at present. It has become quite commonplace for card ies to be prefaced, or even interrupted, by ively discussions of a bookish character. And | social onus no longer rests on the “highbrow” who enjoys his reading, but rather on the per- son who used to claim with pride he had no time to waste on literary browsing. Speculation on the causes of this change is interesting. National prosperity would not alone account for the qualitative as well as the quantitative improvement in reading. The growing demand for longer leisure periods, the spreading prejudice against the old idea that an American lives for routine work alone, are doubtless factors. But whatever the cause, an increased interest in ideas for themselves, regardless of their economic application, is now , obvious. And when a democracy which hus progress is rapid.

The American wo- man wields a scepter that commands more’ treasure than ever Aladdin’s lamp magically produced, American business is built upon the patronage of women. They do say that nine out of every ten purchases are made by wo- men. Thus does woman rank as the greatest buyer in all the land. More than $52,000,000,- 000 of the grand total income of the American people—$72,000,000,000—was spent by wo- men last year for food, clothing, shelter and recreation. Woman’s capacity for business management is becoming generally recognized and appre- ciated. Some of the feats of household manage- ment by women are truly remarkable. Many have but a limited income from which to pro- vide food and clothing for the family, to pay rent or the payment on the home; to provide for recreation and to meet the many incidental Ce fae that unfailingly arise in every house- hold. Women achieve more, oftentimes, with the meager resources at their command— achieve more, proportionately, than many a captain of finance or industry with millions at his command. This Modern Youth Business (Chicago Tribune) Three college students, two boys and a girl, appeared before a New Jersey church con- gregation the other day as advocates in the cause of modern youth. Their arguments and their fervors were not new. The plea was for a truer Christian spirit. The youth of yester- day was, it was announced, no more moral than the youth of today; and young people are not as bad as some persons claim. We sympathize with this trio, made to de- fend this possession of something rightfully theirs. The chronic whimper about the inqui- ties of the younger generation is reaching the point where it only irritates instead of stirring to remedial philosophy. The younger genera- ation is an inevitability. Why argue about it? It had no more hand in its environment than it did in its heredity, It did not make itself; it was made. What other period in history can show such a focusing of social forces as impinged on this younger generation? The younger generation has grown up dur- ing the climactic period of industrialism, in the era of the salesman, calling for and reward- ing aggressive action rather than retiring reflection. It has grown up in the shadow of the great- est war in history, with all that the war meant of heightened emotions and a revision of nor- mal standards. It lives in the period of scien- tific realization, of science in contest gradually winning over long-held and cherished theo- ries. It has seen another element conquered, both as a means of transportation and a means of communication. It lives in a day of general, almost wholesale, education, with the elemen- tary schools, high schools, and colleges crowd- ed beyond capacity. Higher education is ac- cepted as the desirable ‘thing. The absence from home of thousands of young people dur- ing the major portion of four important years is considered reasonable. And not only educa- tion, but co-education, is taken to be natural and good. The younger generation lives in an era of emphasis on physical achievement and perfec- tion, on sports and the bodily graces, with their franknesses and propinquities. In this country it lives .n a period of great prosperity. What were once luxuries have been placed within its reach and have become commonplaces. The automobile is the usual and most prevalent example. It lives in great cities with their wider field of accelerated, promiscuous social contacts; and in flats, with el narrow repression of natural social frec- lom, It lives during the adjustment period of wo- man’s independence, with woman’s rights recognized by men and woman’s place still to be found by women. sciousness, with living by precept on trial and fortifying its position in the only way it knows how—by imposing more precepts, transmuting what it calls the higher command into human legislation. It lives during a period in which the whole status of the marriage relationship and the unity of the family is being examined and revised; during a period when the divorce rate is fifteen per hundred marriages. It lives at a time when all about it, in what it reads, what it sees, what it hears, there is utter realism. These are a few of the factors in the lives of the younger generation. The list is a hodge- podge of causes and effects; the line of demar- cation an many times inpenrane of Fe one tion. e younger generat contribu to some of these factors; it is itself a factor. But considered objectively its environment has been fashioned by a concentration of some of the most forceful movements in social history.
