ART WES BESIDE ROAR OF QUARRIES Mill Machines and Sculptors Cooperate in Indiana Industry. Hit Time* Special BEDFORD, Ind., Aug. 31.—Art of a high order and Industry are inseparably linked together Just beyond the roar of the quarries amid the hum of mill machinery in the great Bedford-Bloomington limestone district. Scores of carvers and sculptors are now engaged in fashioning the rich and delicate pieces of ornament that are to furnish the decorative enrichment for churches, schools, skyscrapers, banks and homes. In artistry as well as in volume, the sculptoring of stone nas reached its pinnacle in the district’s histroy, according to the Indiana limestone Company. Requires Skill Shown Many of the sculptors employed are real masters in their craft Their work Includes the carving of intricate designs of tracery, figures ©f statuary, gargoyles and other grotesque pieces, as well as formal patterns of classical ornament for commercial edifices. Much of the work on religious structures has attracted wide-spread attention, as many of these ornamental carvings at a distance appear as soft and feathery as the tree tops of a Corot landscape. Hundreds of the outstanding American buildings have been brightened into finer artistry by the craft of these Hoosier sculptors. The growth of the limestone indstry has brought about a greater demand for such work, and the staffs have been increased. Many young men visualizing the future possibilities have become apprentices to the carvers and sculptors. Study Masterpieces Like the ancient stonecutters who combined carving with philosophy, some of the older sculptors live quiet, secluded lives, spending their free hours in meditation and the study of old world masterpieces—"frozen music in stone,” which they are often called upon to emulate in the building of today. ‘‘And we live in the hope,” said one of them, ‘‘of developing for America something new and fresh, but something that will live. If from among us there should evolve one genius, or one work of true genius in our generation, we know that we shall have been amply repaid.”

While thq walls tottered around them . . . they buried the linotypes . . . and saved the city’s news service

When the great fire of 1906 swept San Francisco, not a newspaper office was left standing. But while the walls were still tottering, the men of the scripps-howard Daily News were feverishly digging under the press room floor to bury and protect the linotypes. So it came that the San Francisco Daily News was the first paper in the stricken city to resume news service. Men do intrepid things when they work on their own. If they share in the profits, they will not weigh their share of the toil and hardship.

That is one reason why the history of SCRIPPS-HOWARD Newspapers is illuminated by so many pages of heroic achievement by individual staff members. For these newspapers are owned and controlled from within, by the men who make them, by the editors, writers, executives and publishers. Their concerted efforts to make scripps-howard Newspapers still greater never lessen. For there is ever sounding in their ears that stirring Marseillaise to ambition... the worker’s right to share in the fruits of the progress he helps to create.
