' Consistency means you have gone as far as you can and so kid yourself with the belief that there's nothing farther on. , NOT TOO MUCH LEISURE 1 An authority on the psychology of tho human race, while addressing a conference on recreation, expressed the fear that as leisure increases rrten will become increasingly inconv petent to use it to advantage. He foresees a generation of on lookers, as opposed to doers, too lazy to do more than Watch. And he offers no preventive. 1 Men have at all times thrived best on work. ' Hands and heads not busy at doing the useful seem to turn to evil works.- There is a reciprocal relationship between indolence and indigence, between inactivity and ignominy, between leisure and license. Moreover, it is. true that the. sluggish mind grows more so by inactivity arid that wits are sharpened by exercise. Man's new leisure is the fruit of his inexhaustible energy, ingenuity and resourcefulness. It would be tragic were the fruit to kill theree thatborc itj, Is civilization to perish at the hartds of one ofits'own gifts to humanity? ' l!ut perhaps the professor's pessimism is not wholly justi fied. ' Certainly there are millions who are putting their , leisure hours ,to good uses with profit to themselves and with benefit to society. This is not a generation of specta tors, as the golf links, beaches, fields and streams attest. Just as there are som,e who fail to make the most of their hours' of labor there will be some who will waste their new found hours of leisure. But the other kind are in the majority. FUTURE OF THE ARTS In the words of n contemporary practitioner of novel and dramii, "people today are so engulfed in the great singe of life they can only look nnd listen, being quite unable to stop."' Years ago he predicted that the motion picture would be the death, of the spoken drama, and he now has the courage to predict a similar fate for the novel in competition with radio. Civilization, he fears, is to be shorn of the arts that address the -rriiiuii declining upon the primitive appeal to eye and ear.' , ' ;. 'Such fears, or hopes, wear a different aspect as viewed in tho backward perspective. Time was .when. 'it seemed that the character of the press must be destroyed by a competitive scramble'. What was once yellow journalism' survives mainly in sensational typography, in pictures and comic strips. The appcaV to mediocre mentality and morals still has iU reward; but so has intelligence and sobriety of purpose. The spoken drama is not yet dead, nor has it suffered a decline in popularity. Productions are more numerous than ever and the "run" of a success is longer. In Inith cases what has come about it, first, an enlargement of tho public, and, second, a separation of that public into the more and the less intelligent. . Far-from debasing standards, popular journalism and moving pictures have come hand in hand with a steady ad vance in the parent aits and have schooled multitudes in their appreciation. However, it seemed for a time that what Is called democracy was fixing all arts on a dead level and on not too high a plane.

AI') The purtlulity of Arthur (and so forth) Shires toward himself has been traced to Westminster Junior col- lego hero, where The Great One wus known as 'Chesty" In his col legiate days. Former students recall that Khlres, who persisted in wearing his "I" sweater from Italy high school us a college fresh, was the greatest punter and line rummer In "Westminster's football history. In 12 gamjes,ithlelic archives of the sehool avow, Arthur averaged ex-i ! nelly 50 yards with his kicks. J I Despite his decided prejudices in . favor of himself, however, "Ches ty's" former teammates recall he was exceedingly popular, one year at Westminster was enough for jhim, and he then began muking tho rounds of bigger and. better sehools before drifting into pro feuslonal baseball.

There she had gone to grammar school and last fall had worked In a factory for a mouth. Sunday, though, she came home to her dad. For many years he had been Johnny Harry Loe Kagge, who worked at odd jobs about town, mowing lawns, mending broken furniture and doing similar tasks.

' LEARN OF BLIND CITY IN TURKEY Trachoma Pv'avages 6,791 of 7,000 Inhabitants of Town of Hisnimansour AD1VAMA.V, Turkey. Jan. 28 (AI) Xow that communications Imvo been opened .partially In Tur key's long-Isolated turbulent east ern provinces, travelers ure bring ing to the world news of the exist ence of a hidden und dreadful village: Adlyaman, tho village of the blind. In the dusty, sandy district of Hisnimansour. not far from the olty of Malatla, lies this village of whoso 7,000 inhabitants C.701 are wholly or partially sightless through the ravages of Trachoma. It is a villago without sound except for tho tup, tup of hundreds of canes on cobbled roads as the population gropes its way through a ghostly life from blind childhood to blind old age and death. Through Adlyman's squalid dung-thatched hum and dust-polluted alleys, squalid dusty human beings crawl like anlmuls without eyes. ' Utterly IHMfgnrdcil Utterly disregarded by tho old reglmo of the Sultans, the village has for centuries been without a school or hospital, AVithout solace or help its peosant population, stricken generation after genera tion by Trachoma, has made its living painfully and half blindly through farming and herding. Tho village Is utterly unllghtod at night for there are only a hand ful of v II acers who could see by any light. Kipling's City of Dread ful Night becomes a reality in this Anatolian town where night and day are of the sume dire black-, ness. Adlyaman Is probably the only placo in Anatolia where Moslem women wear no veils. For the woman of Adlyaman, religious as they are, no veils are necessary beyond the veil of unlversarbllnd ness which hides a woman even from her father and husband und child In Ibis sightless village.
