Art of Living

CARMEL, Cal, April 20.—The tee that grew In Brooklyn was in a courtyard, away from traffic. In this unique village, trees grow in the middle of the sireets. Carmel has always proceeded on the theory that men might come and men might go, but its trees would go on forever. Tree cutting is a crime as heinous as was horse theft in the old west. There are many things about Carmel which make it different from other places. One is the kaleidoscopic quality of its architecture. No two houses are alike, and no one house is the same from hour to hour. I cannot explain this, I only know that every day I take a stroll along El Camino Real (which has no sidewalks) and every day see something I had not seen the day before, With “Mr. Bogan"—least beautiful and most friendly of dogs—gamboling at my heels, I speculate on what goes on in these ever-changing little houses. Who lives in Carmel, and what do they do with their time? A native answers this question as follows:

Three Classes of People

“LIKE ALL the more beautiful places in California,” he says, “the inhabitants of the Monterey peninsula fall into three classifications. A third of

‘them live on bonds, pensions and annuities. An-

other third paints pictures, writes books, fishes for sardines and does significant things in hammered copper. The rest—merchants, plumbers, dentists, teachers and what not—take care of the artists and the rentiers.”

I am told that it requires years to understand Carmel, and this I can believe. Modern ideas collapse against it in futile spray, like the waves of the Pacific against its hard brown rock. It fears “progress,”

Aviation

NEW YORK, April 20.—Twenty-five to 50 vears of normal aviation progress were crowded into the five years of world war II. As a result we now have fast, comfortable air travel all over the globe and within two more years it is going to be faster, more comfortable and even luxurious. Some specific answers are to he found in ingenious developments resulting from vital wartime needs. Here are a few:

Engineers of Northrop Aircraft, Inc., finding it necessary to slow down the fast P-61 Black Widow to get into short fields developed a new type of retractable aileron,” a perforatdd, scoop-shaped piece of metal which rose out of the top surface of the wing. This “spoiled” the airflow, thus depressing the wing. It enabled use of full-span flaps. Now on the boards is a new type of transport plane which uses the Northrop type of retractable ailerons and full-span flaps. ‘Hidden Barrier’ Aids Safety A GOSSAMER web of nylon, thinner than the finest stocking, was devised by the Glenn L. Martin Co., of Baltimore, Impregnated with rubber it formed a “hidden barrier” blocking seepage of high-octane gas or gasoline fumes through the wall of the fuel tank, adding a great margin of safety. Boeing - developed its famous “116” wing with thin contour, narrow shape and squared tips, greatly

My Day

HYDE PARK (Friday).—The other afternoon, 1 held a small meeting of businessmen in the hope of getting some help on the benefit which the board of the Wiltwyck school in New York is going to give on May 21. We have secured Melvyn Douglas’ musical production, “Call Me Sister,” for that night and we hope that the public will buy tickets and pack the house. But that alone would not give us enough support for the school, so we hope to have a souvenir program to acquaint the public with Wiltwyck and bring us in considerable revenue through advertising. Next Toasts and Friday evenings, April 26 and 26, the African Academy of Arts and Research is giving its annual festival of dance and music at Carnegie hall. On both evenings, a noted exponent Asadata Dafora, will appear with a company of 50 in “A Tale of Old Africa,” devised by himself and Etuka C. Okla Abuta, African writer who is now in this country.

Well-Known Artists Booked

MANY OTHER well-known artists who have been touring the country er appearing in N York City will take part in this festival Princess Orelia, Randolph Scott, Clementine Blount and Bernice Samuels, all of whom are dancers, . Among the drummers, they have Norman Coker, Alphonse Cimber, Moses :‘Mianns and Sylvanus Cole,

In Both World Wars

FRANK'S favorite was killed by a truck a year ago. That was his dog, “Vickie,” who traveled with Frank when he was a captain In the army in world war II, his second “hitch” in the service, for he also served in world war I. Although in two wars he could have acquired a few “bad habits,” the home show manager is pretty much Mr, Average. He “doodles” when he talks on the telephone . . . such as drawing squares and putting circles in them . . , Paces in the office when he is under pressure , . . or walks into the hall outside his office on the top floor of the Security Trust building when things get too disturbing. He'll invariably start out of the office, then return to his desk in the “after-thought” fashion. . . . But Frank insists he doesn't worry about the many details involved in staging a Home Show . . and discusses his added weight to “prove” the argument . , , forgetting to mention, however, that he might be a little heavier this time of year because almost every noon time finds him at a luncheon of some Garden club or civic group telling the members all about “the best ever” home show May 10 to 19 at the state fairgrounds.

Behind the Eight-Ball

MRS. CANTWELL knows at home that his favor-

ite dish is calf’s liver and onions . . . and milk is the favorite beverage. . . = He's well rounded (no pun intended) in his eating habits. . . for he likes to try out different types of restaurants . and even catalogs them . . . like he did last winter when he was in New York City working on a housing project . and listed the advantages and complaints against 100 restaurants he ate in. . . . He says his name in the form J. Frank Cantwell was adopted by newspapermen . . . that his full name is actually James Frank Cantwell . , , that in the army he signed it James F. Cantwell . . . and civilian life his signature is abbreviated to J. F. Cantwell. . . . The idea of staging a show to glamorize the home building industry came about in 1922 when Frank was earning a living building and selling homes. He sald “back there” the auto- . and as a result young men were investing more in cars than they were in homes. . . . It wasn't easy promoting the first show . . . most everyone told him he couldn't get the building industry to join together to display their wares . . , and for a long time it was “mighty discouraging.” . ., . Frank felt that he was “behind the eight-ball” most of the time , . . maybe that’s why you'll always find a pool-room eight-ball on his office desk. (By Art Wright.)

loathes “boosters” and wages a stout battle against anything savoring of the “commercial.” Consider what happened to a friend of mine, a brisk plutocrat from San Francisco. He visited a local printer with the proffer of a not inconsiderable, job of work. It would, in fact, have kept the printer busy for a long period, at a good price and with payment guaranteed. Was the printer pleased? Not at all. It would be a dull job, he said—repetitious and unsatisfying. Furthermore, it would require a quality of work beneath his interest. Asa craftsman, he enjoyed turning out the finest kind of printing. Any other sort merely bored him.

Left Open-Mouthed

SO SAYING, he bowed and went back to his affairs, leaving the businessman with his mouth open. I have been- accumulating data for an article on “Getting-Away-From-It-All,” and the latest item concerns a Middle Western financier, in retirement who bought a home in an exclusive ranch community. Here, he fancied, he could spend his winters in tranquil seclusion. Alas, he has been so busy with this and thaf— wining and dining and cocktail parties every afternoon—that he and his wife have been driven to taking week-end jaunts to distant resorts in search of rest. Then there was the man from Illinois who retired to a small ranch in the Santa Ynez valley—and has had visitors from his home town dropping in on him almost every day since. He plans a trip home this summer to recuperate from the winter's seclusion.” I am yet to meet anyone who has solved the problem of getting-away-from-it-all.

reducing “drag” and increasing speed. It is being used on the peacetime Stratocruisers. A tiny “vee” tab, installed on the elevator of the Curtiss-Wright Commando (C-46) enabled loading of passengers and cargo at random, without exceeding center of gravity limits. This speeded up time on the ground. It is being applied to peacetime trans-

ports.

CURTISS-WRIGHT also pioneered reversible propellers to greatly reduce landin Tun.

This concern also devised an electronic rivesing | device which acts as the “brains” of the automatic! riveter. A multiple hydraulic riveting technique which saved 15,000 man-hours per month was contributed by Ryan Aeronautical Co. of San Diego.

On the night of the 26th, a special feature will be Katherine Dunham's dance group presenting “Rites de Passage,” dealing with primitive rituals. The festival proceeds will go into the regular work of the academy during the coming year. The academy has gradually established itself as doing valuable work both among people in Africa and our own colored people here.

Vast Market in Africa IT HAS slowly gained the backing and sponsorship of many people in this country who are interested in the «evelopment of better race relations, Purely selfishly, we must realize that, in the continent of Africa, there is a vast market In the future for our products, but only as their people begin to want some of the things which we produce. Yesterday morning, in New York ‘City, I went to Douglas Chandor’s studio to see a sketch of an historical painting which he is hoping to complete and which some day should hang in our capitol in Washington. It will show the three great war leaders, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin, consulting together. In preparation for the final painting, Mr. Chandor has done a portrait of my husband and did one of Mr. Churchill when he was last here. He is hoping to do one of Premier Stalin from life, and then he

Mama Is Back In Whirl of | Social Life

By RUTH MILLETT

POOR MAMA. Life is getting complicated for her again. During the war years everybody tried to simplify her life. The fewer clothes she bought the better, The more money she put into war nds instead of into draperies the better, She was. made to feel that large parties were un~ patriotic, so she was free to see only the people she really enjoyed—and |to entertain them as simply as she | wished. :

SHE COULD get out of any ‘kind {of boring social function by saye {ing ‘she had to put in her hours |as a nurse's aid or as a Red Cross volunteer worker, She didn't have to apologize be cause the living room needed res decorating—that could come “after the war.” And she didn't have to spend more than she could afford on clothes because styles were frozen and last year's suit looked enough like this year's to get by. She was supposed to be useful instead of glamorous, and so she was no longer hounded constantly by “hold your man with glamor” advice.

BUT ALL that is over, Mama
