Anyhow, the French basis for the proposed union is rather hysteric. As analyzed in The Tribune yesterday, Henry Ford, with his higher wages—supposed to threaten seduction of the French from their “contented cow” lives —and Charley Chaplin, with his demoralizing comedy code of manners, are what are most alarmingly regarded, be- cause in the penetration of these into the lives of the People is seen the menace to the entire system of French culture. These things may not prove the penetration that the French fear. They may prove an injection of now blood, a transfusion of new ideas and methods which will bring about an economic civilization able to accomplish more for Europe than formation of an imitation “United States,” palpably unable to level down the old racial di- versities and animositics. in Ew t.

Harris was a Broadway theatrical producer. He was young and exceedingly able; in the course of a few years he was able to lay away a ccuple of million dollars for himself. So, at the age of 29, he found himself a very ‘wealthy man. ‘The other day Harris announced his retirement. He is Giving up all of his business, he said, and is going to move to Europe to enjoy life. At 29, he feels that his job is done. He has all the money he will ever want—so why work any longer? ‘There aren't many Americans who look at things that way. We take it for granted that the only way to keep happy is to keep busy. _ But Harris has a different philosophy, and it may be that he’s right. ‘There are jobs which are worth the whole of a man’s who holds one of them cares for nothing else. They in- | clude a stranze mixture of callings; you'll find ministers who feel thet way about their work, and aviators, and ‘artists, and, cnce in a while, a newspep2rman.

Where it deserves attention, it often receives neglect or oversight. Charles E. Brown, director of the state historical |museum of Wisconsin, came here recently and made a survey of the institution housed on Capitol hill, and iM away with much to say in praise of the collection | which L. F. Crawford, state historian, has in his care. But he found one failure to make the widest possible use of the muscum. In the North Dakota Historical Quarterly just issued, he ‘Ss a more general use of the museum by the city aided and high schools of Bismarck is very desirable. | “The educational work should be well organized,” he says, j “and full cooperation of the city superintendent and teachers secured. School classes should be invited to | tention of the assistant curator. The service should be extended to the neighboring city of Mandan, With the cooperation of the state superintendent and county superintendents, visits of schools from other parts of the state should be encouraged.” No doubt, now that their attention has been called to this lack of utilizing the museum in this practical man- ner, the school authorities here and iff Mandan will work out a plan for making intermittent use of the collection in the teaching of the various branches of learning repre- nted in the specimens collected in the museum. The iggecstion of Director Brown seems timely and wise. Is It the Schoolma’am’s Fault? The reopening of the public schools this fall has caused the annual revival of one of the most ancient jokes in the country—the compassionate chuckle about the unwilling schoo!boy, dragged back to the distasteful imprisonment of the school house. It strikes us that that joke constitutes a sort of chal- lense to the school boards of the nation. Surely the Process of educating children might be made a thing that | the children would actually enjoy; anyone who has ever | observed the eagerness with which youngsters go after in- formation will agree that they really want to learn. Perhaps they really aren't as reluctant to go back to school as our cartoonists and jokesmiths think. Our | Pedagogues are wiscr than they were a gencration ago. But if there is a widespread unwillingness on the part of | children to resume their studies, it would seem that a di- rect criticism of the schools is implied. im the sphere of their own lands, Aristide Briand now A Justified Rebuke President Hoover's stinging rebuke to the munitions | lobby was both very timely and fully justified. There is, of course, a division of opinion in this coun- try about the wisdom of reducing our naval armaments; and, obviously, any American who thinks that making concessions to get parity with the British is a mistaken move has a right to protest as long and as loudly as he is able. | But it is utterly intolerable that pressure should be | put on congress by interests whose only concern is one lof dollars and cents. When the munitions makers and ship-buiiders lobby against naval reduction, they are giv- ing the pacifisis the best argument they could ask for. And yet the etiquette book doesn't forbid stopping the car at the front of the house and honking for her, Another way to become cheerful is to visit the country | and observe the acres and acres of grass you don’t have | to mow. | Editorial Comment Long-Lived Veterans (Duluth Herald) A brief dispatch from Washington in The Herald Tues- day evening announced that Owen Thomas Edgar, the last survivor of the Mexican war, had died at the age of | ninety-cight. A natural thought arising out of the news that the last survivor of the Mexican war is gone is that it won't be long now before there will be a similar piece of news about the last survivor of the war between the states. But that will be a hasty conelusion. If the veterans cf the Civil war last as long as this vet- eran of the Mexican war did, and there is no reason why they should not, that item about the last survivor will not be due until 1946, And, by the same rule, the last American survivor of |the World war will live until 1999, within sight of the | twenty-first century. Hearse Drivers (Devils Lake Journal) The Morton county state’s attorney has started some- thing that should be imitated by others throughout the state. He has launched a campaign against exceptionally slow automobile drivers, whom he calls “hearse drivers,” yet who are responsible, because of the slowness, for many accidents on the highways and city streets. Nothing is more tantalizing than to get behind one of these hearse drivers on the city streets during heavy traffic. They usually are driving new cars, and throttle the things down just to see how slowly the car will run without stopping; in other words, using the city’s streets \ io Seeeneente their motors or to show them off to their only as a precaution against accidents of certain kinds, but also to keep the traffic moving in an orderly fashion. The city’s streets are not proving grounds, either for those who like to drive too fast or those who like to drive too slowly. Something should be done to make all autoists realize that a certain speed, within the margin of comparative safcty, should be maintained on the streets and on the highways, in order to give all an equal chance. Make It Hot for the Hit-and-Run Driver (Minneapolis Tribune) The slayer of Dorothy Aune isn't the only type of child | murdered. There is a killer of quite another stripe who | drives his car into a child, steps on the accelerator and leaves his victim dying in the street. Minneapolis was treated Sunday to the revolting spectacle of a motorist fleeing from the spot where he had knocked down and | fatally injured a 16-months'‘old boy. It ought to reserve a little of its indigrmtion, which has lately been vented on the degenerate, the molester of children, and the moron masher, for the craven driver who hasn't the decency or the backbone to stop and help his mangled victim, and who hasn't the moral courage to take responsibility for his act. This sort of motorist deserves not the slightest sympathy or consideration. Granting the accident itself may have been entirely unavoidable, he still stamps him- celf as a dangerous and irresponsible. individual the ment he turns tall and slinks from the scene ‘The hit-and-run driver hasn't an human kindness in his entire rather save his own precious skin i In the larger cities speed in traffic is demanded not accident at police quarters.

Lee Simonson, famous for his stage settings for the Theatre Guild, has designed and furnished the most modern apartment to date, for the new Delmonico Hotel. It has just six movable pieces of furniture in the liv- ing room—two small tables and four | Chairs. Everything else is built in. All the ordinary movable pieces such as radio, desk, couch, and book- 1 Shelves are stationery at what he con- | siders the proper place. * ek ONE RIGHT WAY According to Simonson, this busi- ness of changing the furniture every little while, to vary the monotony of ; the scene is all wrong. There is one | Tight place for the piano, and only j one. Keep it there, said he: “The necessary and usual picces of a room—the bed, desk, tables and shelves—must be viewed as an inte- gral part of interior architecture. To move them about simply destroys the unity and beauty of the room.” After all, he pointed out, one is not constantly changing the bathroom around. ee * TODAY'S NECESSITY Owing to the fact that apartments, of the modern sort, are concentrating on. smaller rooms, there can be no waste space, he says. When land was not so valuable, one could clutter {a room with useless pieces because there were usually several extra rooms. We all spread out as much as we could. Today, the cost of living makes us concentrate. We can get the same amount of liveableness in a three- room apartment as we used to have in @ three-story house, if we plan our space correctly, and don't waste what has become er Wr ore IT’S INTERESTING Simonson’s apartment has several interesting features, to the woman in- terested in modern decoration of zig- zags and meaningless futuristic angles. There is no clashing of line or color, New materials and new woods are used throughout, in their natural colors. There is no attempt to get the effect of a feudal castle in a room, nor any reverential bow to the past. ver. The doors are exactly like the walls and when closed blend into them, calling no attention to them- |selves. Lighting fixtures are mod- ern, and the surfaces of the wood are jall plain, The living room could be jthoroughly dusted in ten minutes. ‘There is very little standing around— containers for flowers, the necessary ash trays and the cushions on the couch, The room is logical, convincing, jeasy to keep clean, and very beauti- ful. | for it, from an artistic point of view, ; 8nd it demonstrates the rich beauty and livability that is possible with modern design. It provides a pleas- ant, restful background, and har- mony of line and design. But one can imagine the average woman, little by little, adding a little more, putting out more of her possessions, and fin- ally complicating it until it was no longer an —_ — of beauty. * THE OTHER SIDE While there is much to be said for having everything in the right place, there is also much to be said for ‘change. It is plausible indeed to have a hotel suite done in the modern man- ‘ner. The occupants change fre- i quently if the furniture does not. But imagine an apartment for which one signed a three-year lease, in which there were only four chairs and two tables that could be moved, and where everything was perfect at the start. To change it—would be to spoil it. A home is a problem different from @ hotel suite. It needs to grow. It needs to take on the personality of the occupants. It needs to be mov- able, and to have moods, It needs imperfections—and problems to work The most livable homes are not the ones that started out perfectly— but that evolved into beauty.

The elders of the family are full of ; derogatory criticism of their neigh- |bors, their friends, their community. They know everybody's weak points and delight in their clever exposition. They are artists in ridicule. Yet outside the home the necessity {of living peaceably with others com- pels these grown-ups to assume a sur- face friendliness which the children who hear them in the uncensored moments over the breakfast table know to be either rank hypocrisy or ; expedient pretense. Children who grow up in such an atmosphere are likely to be neither kindly nor sincere. In imitating their parents’ critical attitude they gre bound to arrive at a false feeling of superiority over those from whom they might yet learn many a lesson. Anyone can ridicule. It is a cheap satisfaction and one which growing children may well do without. I do not suggest that we should re- frain from all adverse criticism—on the contrary, occasional honest crit- icism is entirely wholesome—nor do I think that for the sake of our chil- dren it is wise to gloss over with untruth and subterfuge those critical comments we do make. But we can learn to be silent. We in due time at a just evaluation. Nothing is less becoming to youth than a chronic sneer.
