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

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.

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.

Henry Ford Is 00. 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.

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
