WHEN WORK IS PLAY There is a lesson for men and women in that happy ability of children to make play out of work. Most adults can recall times when they used to exercise their well developed im aginations in order to transform common tasks into enjoy able games Such a chore as bringing home the cows, for instance, was often made the occasion for a make-believe buffalo stampede and an exhibition of real wild west cow punching tactics: And even amidst the labor of harvest time a young lad would lind means of enjoying himself. Snow houses, tunnels, and great forts always made shoveling snow a pleasure, and the deeper the snow the more the fun. linking leaves, too, was not without its com pensations; it was fun to make big piles of leaves and then run and jump into them, and afterwards set them afire and watch the flames lick them up. . Even more strenuous tasks were made less irksome by giving rree piay to tne imagination ot youth. Heating a rug could be a pleasure to the boy who made believe he was "cleaning up' on a whole army; there was a thrill in the "cleaning up' on a whole army; there was a thrill in the that resulted. Running errands also held possibilities for pleasure for titfe lad who imagined himself an Indian scout or messenger dig1 patcnea ay an army otticer. in lnct, when we comeTight down to the question, was there anything that grown mien now call work which those same men could not have turned into rip-snorting good games when they were boys? It is a pity that we should lose that happy faculty as we grow older, for making play of work is one of the great sec rets of happiness. Happiness is never attained by slaving away today in anticipation of being able, financially, to play tomorrow. The man who finds pleasure in his daily tasks the man who makes play of his work is the one who enjoys nie 10 me iuu.

And as for steering both boats this year will do that largely with their motors, speeding up one motor and slowing down tho other to mako the turns with a little propeller at the bow and another at the stern to aid the process. In Miss England the man at the wheel has a two-way foot throttle to do the trick. In Miss America Orlin Johnson, Wood's me chanic, handles two throttles on the turns with Wood at tho wheel, the most closely synchronized team In the history of motor boat racing.

Grants Pass Courier. financial independence for his happiness, lie is the man whom the world frequently mistakes for an inspired genius because he loves his work ; for the world is composed largely of folks who find in work nothing but struggle, drudgery, and slavery nothing but vague hope of some day being set free from it. Love of work is possible, even for grown men, and regard less of what the work may be. Love of work is possible either in chopping wood or sculpturing marble. And the best work is almost always done by those who really enjoy doing it. Other Papers Say: GRAND OPERA AND ITS "ANGELS" One of the unfortunate results of Samuel Insult's financial crash is the closing of Chicago's magnificent new opera house. This theater is among the most beautiful and costly on earth. Instill gave it to Chicago, lie was the "angel" on wnom tne opera company could always rely for funds to meet a deficit that might arise during a season. Now Insull is broke so Chicago will have no opera. The singers havo been dismissed, a $500,000 deficit left over froni the 1932 season is still unpaid and people are wondering what is to ue clone about the huge mortgage which hangs over the opera house a matter of around $17,000,000. Judging solely by this, one would bo forced to the conclu sion that grand opera in the United States is strictly a rich man's plaything an art form that cannot possibly' pay iU way and that exists, when it exists at all, only because the wealthy can be induced to subsidize it. If that were true the outlook for grand opera would be very dark indeed. But it just happens that other American cities have shown that opera can stand on its own legs in tho United States if it is stripped of its fancy frills. Several of the larger inland cities have repeatedly proved that summer opera seasons at popular prices can pay their own way. No elaborate theaters are required; no highly picss agented stars with their enormous salaries are needed; no coterie of society folk is called on to occupy the dress circle and foot the bill. Instead, grand opera is presented just as any other amuse ment enterprise might bo. A good deal of local talent is used. An outdoor amphi-lheater is generally pressed into service. Tickets are sold at prices that can compete with the movies. Hie result is excellent musical entertainment that needs no subsidies. If grand opera ever flourishes in the United States it will be in some such way as that. Subsidies, fabulous salaries and tho support of society are drawbacks, not helps.

But It's that Kiunc old "mnybc" that hns kept one of the big three of this earth's speed records in America for a good many years now, and It's Oar Wood that tho English pced-boat driver Is out to get, so you never can tell. America faces n touiih nronosltlou In holding on to Its speed records against tho British. We couldn't do It In the air, with British land nml sea planes cutting circles nround our best offerings. We couldn't do it on tho land, with British motored mon sters snaking over the Daytoim Beach sands at unheard-of clips. Can Clar Wood, one man working alone In his boat-building plant with out government nid. continue to de feat the Whole British empire? Can "Miss America XX" stay out In front of tho third of the "Miss England's"? tabor day at Detroit, Mich., will decide.

That bit of news is going to make some of us shiver who can remember when, tho first queer-looking "Lizzies" began to rut. -tlo around the streets nnd what we then called highways. Henry la 'get ting to be among the nation's , old men. Ho has been such an energetic figure that It Is difficult to Imagine. Uim as- nearly 7Q.i... ... ....'w M 1 He's Htm-, plenty tougji. vTh,blrt!i'- day story describes him busy in, ills laboratory, passing out nothing , but unsympathetic Jibes for those who wall about the future of the country. Self-mado and self-reliant, Henry Is an incorrigible optimist as who shouldn't bo who has health and a billion or so of dollars. Henry has produced many a wlerd Idea along with his good ones. Ho is especially weak In such Ihlngk as economics, sociology and politlcaT'hls-: tory. Nevertheless, on his 69th birth day, Mr. Pord offers one thought which is progressive enough to suit tho advanced social thinkers. Ford says Industry must be ' de centralized, moved out of the great metropolitan centers into small cities and villages where people can be fair ly close to the soli and' noU entirely dependent on tho factory whistle to tell them whether they eat or don't eat In tho immediate future. Ford Is trying on experiment of this kind at a new plant at Ypsilanti. No program Is more Important to the social jaud Industrial welfare of me country, n ms right in with the program for tho shorter working day and tho shorter working week how being advocated by Hoover. It fits in with tho new home-building Idea. As a reform it has the advantage that it can be approached by reasonable stages and does not involve wholesale wreckago and revolution. Our cities, most of them. If wo look ot them in the light of how peo ple live In theb, are more h mutter for shame than pride. The huge, un healthy, congested, noisy, nerve wrncking centers of money grubbing do not do much credit to our think ing. The rebuilding or America Into a more beautiful and more wholesome place for millions of people is a proj ect which should do much to relieve and prevent unemployment. Eugene Iteglsler-Ouard.
