Leisure to Be Problem in New Era Mass Production Even of Good Things to Be Unpopular nv ORETTA PALMER Time* Serial Writer NEW YORK. April 3.—This is a day on which we leave our Intellectual sand buckets and hobby horses and go modern economist on you. The question before the house. medames_ is the large one of just what constitutes a useful member of society in this backfiring age? It used to be a

y

very simple matter to answer. In the days when a scarcity was the problem of the world, a mans usefulness was measured by the amount of effective work that he accomplished. Society was tickled to death with the farmer who made two blades of wheat grow' where only one had grown be-

Miss Palmer

fore, its teacher's pet was the craftsman who turned out twice as many useful articles as his neighbor. And woman, too, in those idyllic years could just as easily be assigned to her niche. Over and above the minimum requirements of keeping her palace or her hut in good running order, her value to society was measured by the number of strong children, especially boys, of course, whom she brought into the world to make more goods and more wars and otherwise serve the interests of the state. It does not take a member of the brain trust 1o tell you that there has been a noticeable shift on both these fronts. The farmer who squeezes all the produce possible from his acres is smartly rapped across the knuckles by the present government and told to take things easy or be dubbed a traitor. Women Warned First The man who, with the aid of machinery, produces more goods than even a gluttonous market can absorb is cut down to a forty-hour week and regarded with deep distrust if he tries to pi*nduce more goods by more , machinery in his leasure hours. And as for the women, they were the first to be assured that overproduction, in a peaceful state, was too much of a good thing. The woman who brings her tenth baby into the world today is viewed with pity for her ignorance or with astonishment at her temerity. The mother who concentrates her entirp time and thought on a family of two or three children is fur more apt to win applause of her neighbors than the one who scatters her energies among a brood so large that she has difficulty in remembering all their names. It. Is apparent that, from the modem point of view, the production of as many children, as many bushels of wheat, or as many alarm clocks as passible is no longer a legitimate measuring stick of the unselfishness of a man or woman to the state. Well, then, what is? Leisure to Be Main Topic You can guess in this game, too, But it is. perhaps, reasonable to predict that we all will be paying far more attention to the disposal of our leisure hours from now on than we ever did before. There will be more of them, for one thing, and we can enjoy them with a clear conscience, for another, with none of the nagging suspicion that we ought to have done just a little more work before turning in. And the persons who make those leisure hours supportable will, I think, receive our fondest accolade The painters and the philosophers and the pure scientists who manage to make our hours aw r ay from work richer and more exciting than they would otherwise be will be hailed as heroes, while the man whose ingenuity has seen anew way of turning out too many tooth paste tubes will be viewed, under capitalism, at least, as something of a nuisance. The artists and the persons who are simply charming company and pleasant, human brings will be the ones for whom society reserves its greatest applause and its niftiest town cars. The industrial speed demons simply have to fare the nasty fact that society has outgrown the stage where it will cry “bis!" and “bravo!" to the person W'ho produces too much of any good thing in the world.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE other day I was present at an assembly of 1,500 Indians who w'ere conferring with Commissioner John Collier about the Wheeler-Howard bill now’ before congress which, if passed, will entirely change the status of the Red man. One doesn’t really know what stolidness means unless one has watched such a group. There they sat, members of the five civilized tribes, calm, poised, austere, spiritually remote. Their immobile faces, their inscrutable eyes, marked them as emotionless beings. But if you believed they neither were interested nor moved, you were very wrong. Borne of their grave old men, unable to speak English, clothed In shabby garments but wearing a majestic dignity, rose and intoned ringing orations in their ancient dialects. The interpreters were busy. Altogether it was a sight few T are privileged to see, a glimpse into th§ soul of another race. Whether you approve or disapprove his bill, the thing John Collier is doing is a great and noble innovation. He is visiting personally all the tribes in the United States. He explains to them what this legislation will mean. He is trying to find out what they want. He asks for their suggestions and amendments, and invites the clos-DESSERT-MUSICALE SET FOR FRIDAY Mrs. Frank Edenharter and Mrs. DeWitt S.

est scrutiny for the proposed change. This bill affects the Indian, so the Indian and not the white man is passing final judgment upon it. Naturally there is active oppo-sition—-but the forthrightness of Mr. Collier and his aides, their obvious sincerity, is overcoming that opposition even among the civilized tribes where it is most marked. I could not but feel that the legislative precedent set by the commissioner is an admirable one. If all the measures affecting the standards and lives of common men and women thus could be elucidated for and submitted to them, we would have a better governed and happier country. The white people in this land need political contacts with their representativees that are as direct, as sincere and honest as that which John Collier is giving to the Indians. Miss Doeppers Becomes Bride in Church Rite Mr. and Mrs. Red Doeppers announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mary Frances Doeppers, and John O. Teeguarden, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Lester Teeguarden. The ceremony was read Easter Sunday in the Elizabeth Goodnow Wicks chapel of the All Souls Unitarian church by Dr. F. S. C. Wicks. Miss Emma Doeppers, cousin of the bride, sang “Ich Liebe Dich" and “I Bring Thee Heart’s Ease.” Miss Myla Hermann played music composed for the occasion by the bride’s father. Miss Claribel Hacker attended the bride. Her gown was of pale blue sheer crepe with* matching accessories and she carried an arm bouquet of Briarcliffe roses. The bride, given in marriage by her father, was gowned in white crepe with white turban and her flowers were calla lilies. Sally Page, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton O. Page, and Louise Dunning, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Lehman Dunning, ribbon bearers, were dressed in pink and white swlss. Gordon Stillwell, Chicago, formerly of Indianapolis, was best man. Mr. and Mrs. Teeguarden will be at home after April 15 at 2345 Broadway.
