Back in the beginnings, or so
we are told by romanticists turned
historian, man's most prized pos
session was his stone axe. It was
more than a prized possession, it
polled the difference between life
and death. Between hunger and a
full belly. With it he hacked and
hewed his way through life.
It was truly an all-important
item. He protected his life with it
in encounters with wild beasts,
with other stone age men. He used
it to subdue his dogs and his wife
or wives-when they became unruly.
He beat logs to bits with it to
feed the lire after that resource
became available to him.
But then, gradually but inevit
ably, he hit the skids of civiliza
tion and the faithful old axe was
spurned in favor of other and even
more sacred possessions. He came
to look on the home cave as a
sacred possession. Several hundred
generations peeled some of the
rough outer shell off him and he
even included his wife or wives
in this category. Material things
remained high in his regard, true.
but the utility of the stone axe
was no longer paramount. Intangi
bles began to creep in. As he de
veloped a -better brain he, hu
manlike, cluttered it up with a lot
of foolish and unnecessary wor
ries. The first faint glimmerings
of propriety began to replace pig-
gishness and the satisfaction of to
tal selfishness.
As civilization and its ugly ro-
Itrictions closed ever tighter about
this poor deluded creature h i s
aense of values changed again. He
went back to the slave-worship of
tangibles but left out the utility
angle. He now began to worship
possessions such as a finer coach
and four. (we -are now out of the
tone age and well into the beef-and-kidney-pie
age) or a better
mansion than the neighbors had.
Civilization in its usual sneaky,
underhanded way scored massive
gains here and he quickly entered
the age of gadgetry, the light
weight suit and plastic everything.
And, oddly enough, history re
peated itself and another but still
familiar sense of values entered
the picture again. Mankind went
back to the intangible in his search
for some treasured possession.
He came up with the reserved
parking space.
In the world as we know it to
day nothing, but nothing, Is so
sacred as a man's reserved park
ing space. He will fight, bleed and
quit his job for it. It is used as an
enticement when hiring personnel
away from a competitor. It is a
job inducement of no mean pro
portions. It is more important,
more sacred, than all the stone
axes in history. It is the focal
point of man's endeavor.
The average man would rather
hove a reserved parking space
than a raise in pay.
It denotes a social position of
the highest order.
Ticket holders to a reserved
parking space right downtown arc
a caste so glorified as to be out
of sight of the mere untouchables
on a park-and-run basis.
Possession of one is more im
portant than a promotion. It is
a promotion.
1 do not have personal knowledge
of how staunchly a stone-age man
would fight for his hole-in-the-rock
But 1 am willing to wager a rea
sonahlc sum that no cavemnn ever
fought as hard (or his cave as
modern man will for his parking
space
It is a way of life.
We no longer speak of the conn
try club set. Peons at host com
pared to the parking space crowd.
(liven his choice It is six, two
and even wholher a man would
choose his wile and family or his
reserved parking space.
Not that it is real important, but
interesting. I wonder what will
come along to replace the reserved
parking space?
Stone axes, maybe?
strong bond with their mothers.
And by all odds, one of the most
colorful was Sara Roosevelt, moth
er of FDR. She was tall, good-
looking, regal and occasionally im
perious.
She called the president "Frank
lin" in the same tone of voice
she used when he was a little
boy. Not even when he was chief
of state did she let him forget
who was boss. And Sara Roose
velt was about as blunt a presi
dential mother as ever lived, with
strong likes and dislikes.
They tell a story about a group
of politicians visiting FDR at Hyde
Park. His mother looked them over
disdainfully and remarked in
what amounted to a soft bellow:
"They look like a bunch of gang
sters.
FDR was entertaining a certain
senator at lunch one day when
Sara Roosevelt hove on the scene,
a typical entrance that was once
described as "A frigate entering
a harbor under full sail."
Sara looked at the senator, and
then remarked in a loud voice:
"Who's that terrible man sitting
next to Franklin?
She was quite a personality in
rer own right, was Sara Roose
veil. It has been said that the mo
ment she died, a giant oak tree
on the Hyde Park estate toppled
ever from no apparent cause.
Martha Truman was another col
orful presidential mother and
something of an unreconstructed
Southerner. The president once
decided to fly to Independence,
Missouri, to visit Martha. The
weather was foul but Truman went
anyway.
When newsmen questioned him
on the prudence of the trip, the
president mapped that he'd go any
where he pleased anytime.
Seems when a chief executive
wants to visit his mother, he goes.

fort to play up the better side of
the business news. And recently
it has been belter without the need
of any artificial interpretation.
Automobile production has risen
on a weekly basis but still is far
below a year ago. There is talk
that the new auto models will be
pushed to get into the market be
fore the summer is over.
Then there is housing which is
being spurred by government and
private organizations. Housing
starts in April showed a gain of
eight per cent over March.
The textile industry has been re
porting increases in orders which
wholesalers thought would con
tinue during the next few months.
Merchants, apparently made
more optimistic by the rise in per
sonal income in April, are buying
summer items in the wholesale
markets. Just now they are stock
ing up on women's summer dress
cs, sportswear and bcachwear, ac
cording to Dun and Bradstrcet
Also there have been purchases of
men's tropical suits and sports
shirts.
' A weekly rise in car loadings
drew more discussion than the
fact that the loadings still are
26 per cent under last year.
And, to many, the stock markets
apparently is saying that there
will be a business recovery in the
not too distant future.
Too Much Talk
By ELMER C. WALZER
(United Press)
This may or may not be a clue
to an upturn in the economy, but
observers note there is less talk
of recession these days.
The No. 1 spot where this has
been noted recently is In Washing
ton. The word recession barely got
a mention in President Eisenhow
er's press conference which prob
ably was accounted for by the in
terest in anti-American demonstra
tions in several foreign countries.
Experts note, however, Uiat even
the politicians are less vociferous
over the recession than they were
not long ago.
There is less talk of a tax cut
at this time to aid the economy.
Such a trend, it was felt, might
indicate' that the lawmakers are
convinced that a cut isn't necessary
to bring back the nation's economy.
Also there is less talk of plans
for devaluation of the dollar
through the process of raising the
price of gold. And, apparently less
worry over the steady loss of gold
to foreign nations that has been
reducing the nation's gold hoard
by tmo million dollars worth of the
metal so for this year.
Fewer plans are being put for
ward for spending the nation out of
the recession, and this, says the
conservatives, is all to the good.
They consider the current budget
situation inflationary enough with
the prospect of a 10 billion dollar
deficit.
Businessmen have been saying
right along that too much reces
sion talk could delay the recovery
movement
On the other side. Ihey hold that
a lull in that type of discussion.
plus a bit more on the optimistic
side should be a big help toward
hastening the upturn.

Cooks" I'robk'in
By DOROTHY FLANDERS
(United Press)
veteran home economist re
tires this month with a parting
Mord to the cooks of the nation.
"Please the man of the house
and forget the fancy recipes."
Mrs. Thclma Lison knows where
of she speaks. After testing recipes
lor the food industry for 26 years,
she still is practicing how to cook
breakfast eggs the way her hus
band likes them.
Most women cook to please
their husbands, she says. And if
fati,er doesn't like the dish, it will
never see the top of the table
again.
Men, explains Mrs. Lison, pre-
lor ground beef and frankfurters
to all other meat dishes. They
least like lamb and liver.
They will pass up green pep-
ers and lima beans for peas and
corn. And they dislike anything
coffee-flavored except coffee.
As a young graduate of Wash
ington University in St. Louis, Mrs,
I. son had no plans for a career
in home "economics. Instead, she
became a proofreader for an ad
veitising agency a position she
was sure would launch her into
the journalism field.
But every time she read the
proofs of recipes she got hungry.
And she began spending her free
time in the kitchen, trying out the
mure tasty dishes.
Published recipes, she discov
ered, don't "always turn out the
way they're supposed to. She
mentioned that fact to her boss,
and found herself back in school,
studying home economics, at her
boss' expense.
One of her lirst jobs was to
teach beginners how to cook.
Young, bright-eyed brides con
stantly surprised her with their
interpretations of recipes. She re
members fondly the young wife
who thought the best way to sep
arate an egg was to break it into
a bowl, yolk, while and shell, and
fish out the various parts.
In a quarter of a century spent
at the kitchen stove. Mrs. Lison
has noted some drastic changes
in the preparation of food.
In UNO, she says, a woman
spent an average of five hours a
day preparing three meals for her
family. Today she can prepare the

Mrs. Lison and her husband.
Henry, will get a chance to try
some exotic dishes first-hand this
summer. They leave soon for a
tour of European countries.
And when they return, Mrs. Li
son goes back into the kitchen . . .
back to practicing how to cook a
breakfast egg for her husband.
He likes them over easy and
still a little brown around the
edges.
The St. Louis woman says: "1
keep telling him that we didn't
learn to cook eggs like that in
school. But it doesn't make any
difference. That's the way he
wants them."
Sirjuigo Stalemate
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (iB The still rising
cost of living plagues more peo
ple than its strange stablemate
the slowdown in industrial output
And President Eisenhower has
warned a gathering of leading in
dustrialists against going along
with the theory that just because
prices have kept rising steadily
for so long "the consumer is not
price conscious any more."
He also has reminded them that
the nation s great economic
strides in the past were due to
"the daring of this nation's busi
nessmen in pricing for volume and
taking their chances on profits."
Others have gone much further
along this road than the Presi
dent. Some have criticized the pricing
policies of industry, holding that
liberal wage rises were handed
out freely because management
felt prices could be hiked with
out any protest from the consumers.
Some have been critical of in
dustries that cut back output to
maintain high prices rather than
looking earnestly for new markets
or stimulating demand through
lower prices.
And some doubt if the industrial
recession will be licked until the
cost of living comes down enough
to let people buy again.
The government s consumer
price index, due shortly, is ex
pected to show another rise, with
food prices still high and the cost
of services continuing its slow but
steady rise.
But cracks in the price struc
ture are beginning to show. They
have come in industrial materials
which many companies can get
now for less than they had to pay
a while back. .
Rising labor and transportation
costs kept most companies from
passing any of this along in the
form of lower prices on their end
products.
But lately weakness in sales vol
ume has brought some changes.
There- have been a few price cuts,
but mostly the price concessions
have taken the form of discounts
or the dropping of extra charges
or cutting the costs of services.
And while the President warns
when they happened, were most
ly at the expense of the mer
chant's profit margin or in special
sales promotions. Consumers have
found that shopping around often
turned up bargains.
Most makers of consumer dur
ables have insisted that sales
weakness for their products hasn't
been due to higher prices. But
the search for other reasons hasn't
been entirely convincing either.
So perhaps President Eisenhow
er was saying more than just a
truism when he reminded his
businessman audience that "a
price policy designed to bring in
creasing volume should be noth
ing short of an article of faith for
every businessman."
The official expectation that the
cost of living should stop rising
this summer is reassuring. But
few in Washington seem to feel
that the forces of inflation are
more than just dormant. Many
fear that another wage-price spi
ral can be kicked off this summer
een with industrial output off
badly from its peak.
And while the Prsident warns
against unrealistically -high labor
demands, he also reminds his busi
nessmen hearers that the old
American custom of looking for
the widest possible markets used
to work better than holding down
supply to prop prices.

NEW YORK -Meet a couple
of Russians who are quick on the
draw.
They are Vitalii Goriaev and
Ivan Semeonov, genial cartoonists
for the Moscow humorous weekly
Krokodil.
The pair arrived here yester
day, en route to Indianapolis,
where tHey will attend the con
vention of the Association of
American Editorial Cartoonists
May 29-31. They were guests of
uan uowling. New York Herald
Tribune political cartoonist, who
is president of the association.
Like most any other tourists;
they're dazzled by the big town
and not afraid to say so.
Commented Goriaev: "The en
semble of skyscrapers is most im
pressive.. .yet the buildings are
beautifully connected by the great
bridges...
"I can't wait to get out on the
street corner with my sketch pad.
I want to sketch the pigeons, the
children, the people."
In a literary sense, Goriaev is
not unacquainted with the Ameri
can scene. He has illustrated So
viet translations of the works of
0. Henry, Mark Twain, Ambrose
Bierce and William Faulkner.
After a four-hour riding and
walking tour around the city, he
expressed some alarm at "the
speed of the traffic flow," adding:
"The traffic on the bridge horri
fied me."
Semeonov said he also wants to
see America's small towns, and
go fishing. The cartoonist says
New York's shop windows and
people's clothes "gives the im
pression of a holiday mood-."
