' “THERE IS ON DISPLAY a work of art downtown that everyone should see. Personally, and this is intended to be a plug, the boy has something. : The fact that people gasp when they first see the painting .and throw up their hands; ask out loud, “What in the world is that?’; cover their eyes; groan, growl, hiss and run down Washington St. yelling, “I could do better with a stick” is a triflle. '
-Artists Often Abused
ARTISTS have been abused since time imThe first: min to express himself on the wall of his cave probably gof conked on ‘he bean with a rock thrown by the little woman. But sticks and stones, as the old saying goes. stopped artists only momentarily, and words never hurt them.
Men of art, in the face of great obstacles, continued to consummate the urged of creative expression and, undoubtedly, that's one of the reasons we have such good pen and pencil sets today. The painting in question happens to be the artist's first. It's an original, too. You can see it in the east front window of the H. Lieber Co. With the painting, art lover Jacque. Lacker, is showing T-squares, crayons, celluloid triangles, oll sets, paper and things. You might say the artist was. commissioned to do the painting. Each spring students of Herron Art Institute have a sale of their work. The object is to make money. Overlooking the mer-
~ cenary aspect of the outdoor exhibit, the artist
yielded to the demands of the students and threw himself into his conception of love. Appropriately, he called his work, “Love.” ~ At the conclusion of the exhibit, “Love” was still hanging. The reaction to “Love” (14 people tried to slash the canvas to ribbons) was encouraging. The fault was with the students for putting too high a price on. the work. Fifty cents on the tag would have moved it from the premiscs pronto. Months whizzed hv and. the paint finally dri»d Another public showing was in erder. The artist
was shocked at the number of doors that were. ture on canvas the meaning of
slammed in his face. Art appreciation seemed to be sinking to a new low while the art of slamming doors rose to a new high.
In Tact, a citizen's committee was formed tl discuss ' the possibility of a city-wide door-slam- | ming contest. ~The winner would —receive- -a}
matched set of brass door knockers. Disagree-|
-ment developed over whether it was necessary 0
have the brass door knockers matched or not and the project was dropped. . Persistence in the face of the great odds paid off. 1 got the thing in Lieber's window and peop'e are looking. Sometimes they look longer at the crayons and rulers than they do the picture. One can reason that such people need crayons and rulers more than they need the painting. Crayons may do more for. them than my painting. There are those, for example, who get a big charge out of collecting salt shakers. Now .1 don’t give a hoot, for salt shakers. : A person who never has exhibited a painting will find it difficult to understand the thrill an artist gets when unbeknown to a viewer; le watches appreciation and pleasure spread slowly, over a face that had been creased with lines of worry, fatigue and sadness a few minutes before. Artists tell me they can sense when a specta-| tor is with them. The layman ‘s in tune, so to spefik. He feels what the artist féit when he smeared the canvas in the first place. It must be a wonderful feeling. As yet, no such feeling has hit my antenna in front of Lieber's. Worries me If you are in town in the near future, how about stopping and takihg a look at. ‘Love.” See what it does to you and then drop a line. Please Keep your letter down to 10,000 words. “No letter will be returned if written on plain paper. It's difficult to’ believe that a majority of citizens seeing my painting are really serious when they hold their noses or make gstures as if they intend to throw bricks through the window.
Laughing Is a Puzzle, Too
THE LAUGHING routine is puzzling, too. Women are guilty of this. Usually two will participate and laugh and laugh until the bus stops out in front. My picture was not painted to provoke laughter. “Love” is a serious study. It has depth. In it T tried to show the pain love has brought me and why I'm still a bachelor and cap“It i= better ‘'o have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.” Try to get a look at it ‘and see what it does for you. You may be surprised.
Social Monster
NEW YORK, Sept. 7—It pains me to admit _
ft, but I guess I am a sort of surly churl—a sécial monster with the parlor deportment of old Jake Malik, the Russian charm boy. This must bé true because some people named Samuel and Esther Kling have come up with a questionnaire to détermine whether you are a nice guy or a heel, and I flunked it cold. F'rinstance: Q: Are vou fsually cheerful .and courteous” A: No. Who can be cheerful today”? As for
courtesy, try a short trip in a subway and watch _
the milk of human kindness evaporate. Git outta my way, ¥' bum, or I'll grind ya into the dust. Q: Are you generally sympathetic with people? A: What for? Don't tell me your troubles. I'm loaded with my own.
Whats So Funny?
Q: DO YOU USUALLY see the humorous side
~-of-things? At -Sure. You don’'t-laugh. you .got
i$
to cut your throat. Everything is funny. Funny old A-bomb. Funny old taxes. Funny old Russia. Sidesplitting old Harry T. Ha. Ha. I'm killing myself with mirth. : Q: Are you generally fair and free from envy and jealousy? A: Did you ever meet anybody who was? Fa 'Q: Are you usually optimistic rather than gloomy? A: Sure. It's got to get better. How can it get worse? : Q: Do you have a generous supply of onthusiasm? A: Absolutely. What do you suppose I have been selling all these years in lieu of talent? I ain't pretty, got mo dough, but enthusiasm I am all busted out with. Rah, rah, three cheers and one small tiger. Team. team, team! Our class won the Bible. Also the chocolate cake. Q: Are you democratic in your manner? A: No. I only like individuals. And if I had anything sexier than Tom Dewey to focus on, my politics: would be Republican. Who can like everybody?
By Robert C. Ruark Q: Do you refrain from burdening other people with your troubles? A: Not baby. Baby loves to weep on sympathetic shoulders. T am the crybaby of the age. Why, only the other day, the doggonedest--you wouldn't believe -it—why do these things happen to me-—-T am being crucified.! Q: Are you generous and patient? ‘A: Sure. Give the old lady five bucks each and every week! and I ain't slugged her in a month. Patient? Let's] get on with the interview. Q: Are you usually friendly and do you smile readily? Sure. Who needs new enemies? I got enough already. without creating extra ones. 8mile? Certainly. It's easier than thumbing a nose. , Takes less effort, I mean. Q: Do you refrain from .prying into other people's affairs? A: Are you out of your mind? How do you suppose I eat? . Q: Do you avoid imposing on or embarrassing others? A: As much as I can. I never met anybody who was eager to be imposed on, and em-| barrassing others will buy you nothing better than a poke in the puss. Also, I have a sweet, sunny nature and a glass chin. | Q: Do you show appreciation for the things people do for you? A: Sure. But what have you done for me lately? Q: Do you avoid laughing at other people's mistakes or eccentricities? A: You mean I should] starve to death on account of writing no colmun? Q: Are you neat? A: No.
Those Who Disagree + Q: ARE YOU TOLERANT toward those who disagree with you? A: Anybody who disagrees with me is an ignorant, Fascist, Communist, rat, scab, dirty bum. And wrong, too. Q: Do you try to help people and are vou considerate of others? A: A little bit, on the first part, and not very much on the second. But dogs and children love me. Possibly because I feed both, The Klings say that if most of these questions are answered ‘yes’ you are a lovely fellow, I know what I am. I am a- cad.
High Pepper
By Frederick C.. Othman |
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7—My subject today is pepper and I don’t mean Sen. Claude, the peppery gentleman from Florida. I'm talking about the black stuff you sprinkle on your eggs. This is a fantastically expensive habit—if you use much pepper, that is—and you'd be wise to ‘stop it. Mayonnaise is good on eggs; so's catsup and they're both much cheaper. A friend of mine
prefers. vinegar. He's wise.

before the war, he could. sell it for $2650 today, wholesale. In 1939 pepper was 4 cents a pound. Last year it was $1.36 and the trade thought that was scandalous. Today it's $2.65. No other commodity in the world has had such an inflationary boom; not even uranium. - ~ So I think I'd better tell you about pepper, which grows on a bush 15 feet high in The Netherlands East Indies, India, and French Indo-China, all of which border upon some of the hottest water on earth, militarily speaking. . These pepper bushes have beautiful flowers, which turn inte red berries. The natives shake these down, dry them and they've got peppercorns, which we must presume they weigh on jewelers’

Our government is .stockpiling pepper by the ton as a critical military supply; seems that the -Army uses pepper in preserving meat. The theory is that pork sausage without pépper tastes like nothing much and hence isn’t much good in the warrior’'s diet. : The federals insist that their small mountain of pepper, which should stay peppery indefinitely
if kept dry, has had little ar no effect on the; price. They blame wars, threats of wars and speculators. There is no white pepper (except maybe some; left over from more normal days) on the market. This is because white pepper is ordinary pepper, with the black hulls scraped off. Why waste any
of the precious stuff now?

Fun-Loving Shriners Promise Colorful Show For Indianapolis
21 Temples to
Be Represented By CARL HENN TOMORROW , and Saturday, Indianapolis will get a good look at nobility. Potentates and officers from 21 Shrine temples in five states comprising the Great I.akes Shrine Association ‘will gather with their uniformed groups and delegates for the first ceremonial session of the newly-formed organization. It should be quite a sight. It is the first -large assembly-—of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine to be held here since ‘the Imperial Session of 1941. An exclusive, funminded and distinctly theatrical lodge group, the AA. ONM.S. is determined to be seen and heard. It seldom misses. its. aim.
The costumes are gaudy in color and cut. The bands play loud and long and. in the case of “oriental” bands, piercingly.
Chanters serenade at the drop of a fez. The pranks and generally festive activities generate a lot of feeling among the populace. o ”
o WHAT'S it all about, anyway? More than 600,000 Shriners in the United States, Canada, Mexico; the Panama Canal Zone and Hawaii would be happy to tell you.
