Jjagr ial necessity HED- engraved in the centre. Those were the second wings Lovett had won. He first piloted bombers in Europe in World I. as volunteer with an aviation group from Yale university, attached to the Navy Flying Corps, Tall, bald and 51, Lovett was born In Texas in W95. His father was general counsel to the Union Pacific Railroad, and later its president.

Union Pacific is almost synonymous with the name of the multi-millionaire Harriman family. To-day W. Averell Harriman. heir to much of the Union Pacific fortune, is Secretary of Commerce, and his boyhood friend, Robert Lovett, Under-Secretary of State. Once before Lovett and Harriman went into partnership, but that was not yet in the Cabinet of the United States Government.

It was a banking partnership in which Lovett figured through his wife's family. He married Adele Crown when he returned from France after the first war. After one year at 2522r hPririSSi TAnn: n' 1 a tather-ln-law who had no sons It 1 4 THE ARTIST OF ART was born, according, to Professor Gordon Chllde, on the day on which a' prlnii- tlve woman, glancing at the unshapely flint weapon that her man had brought Into the hut, observed caustically that It was no ornament-, to the place. Jo conciliate her, he took it out, rounded Its handle, chipped off Its rough edges and made it more presentable. The Incident Is at least characteristic.

The most outstanding trait in the composition of the average woman is her fondness for making everything look nice herself included. Men, whilst languidly appreciating that kind of thing, are, generally speaking, less enamored of it. They resemble Mr. Robert the Scottish banker, of whom Edwin Hodder tells. Despite his great wealth, Mr.

Carrick could never be Induced to dress as became his station. An Intimate friend, meeting him one day in the main street of their native town, ventured to point out to the financier that his coat was positively green with age. "What does that matter laughed the banker, "everybody here knows me 1" A few months later, the two men met In London, Mr. friend again reproved him. Carrick as shabby as ever.

His "What does it matter?" the dowdy banker answered derisively, "nobody here knows me." The argument served both ways. On the other hand, woman, taking her cue from that primitive progenitor whom Professor Childe describes, attaches tremendous importance to appearances. Her critics say and they say it with an assurance that almost suggests they know what they are' talking about that she spends a good deal of time before the mirror, that she is inordinately fond of titivating herself, and that all this is an evidence of weakness, of self-consciousness and of vanity. But is there not another explanation, a more charitable and perhaps a more just one From the days of Pr "ssor Childe's prehistoric woman has been, par exc Jnce, the artist of the universe. The beauties of the world the petals of the flowers, the plumage of the birds, the loveliness of the landscape, the glitter of the stars appeal more directly and effectively to a woman than to a man.

She LOVETT'S NONCHALANCE in granting a loan to a foreign Government im pressed and amused the company. The following day he received a telegram from a friend, who wired, "You have made me the happiest little country In the world," and signed ''Austria." This banker took over as Under-Secretary of State from I Dean Acheson at tne beginning this month. His experience no doubt will prove most valuable a Government that has pro vided for foreign expenditures totalling hundreds of millions within the last few weeks. But the Secretary of State (Mr. Marshall) did not select his new chief assistant solely on the basis of ability In international finance.

Robert Lovett, banner. aviator and organiser, showed his I mettle in World war II wnen. Assistant Secretary of War for Air, he accomplished a pheno-mental Job in directing the production of American aircraft and the development of the U.S. Army Air Force. Air Force Success The full measure of this achievement can be seen in a few simple figures.

Ire 1938 the Air Corps had 1773 planes, 2079 officers and about 20.000 men. In 1939 American, plants produced 2141 military planes and 3770 civilian aircraft, total output of 5911- planes, valued at approximately 76.000,000 dol. In 1944, three years after Lovett Joined the War department. Air Force personnel had increased a hundredfold and aircraft production had risen 16 times. Lovett's performance in the KSkln.

By some inborn sense of harmony, she feels that, to be consistent, she must operate upon herself as well as upon the world around her. If she is to render charming everything that she touches, she feels that she must herself be pleasing. And at this point she discovers, not without a pang of satisfaction, that the entire universe Is at her, beck and call. In his "Angel in the House," Coventry Patmore sings many stanzas in praise of the countless splendors of Nature that lend themselves to feminine adornment. The loveliest growths of every clime, the furs and feathers of prairie and i.

ingle, all things that flash and glit ter and sparkle, seem to be standing respectfully at the salute, eager to be of service to her. In one of his essays, Mr. A. Benson declares that no man can study the rapt and almost spiritual expression on a woman's face as she pauses before a shop window to ad mire a display of beautiful things drapery, millinery, jewellery, pottery, art work and the like without realis ing that her love of loveliness is woven into the essential web of her womanhood. A still deeper principle operates.

By a silent and occult authority ol her own, a woman who dresses daintily compels those who move in her society to model their behavior on her own. Has not C. J. Dennis told us the story ol Jim of the Jim, a timber worker, is busy at his saw as a group of visitors enters the mill. Among them Is a prettily-frocked girl "with two bright laughing eyes and sunlight In her hair." Dazzled by so much radiance, Jim trips over a log and falls against the machine.

The girl expresses sympathy: saw you fall," she sung at me; "I hope you were not hurt An' suddenly I was aware 1 wore my oldest shirt Here we have psychology at its best. When the girl with hair like sunlight prepared for her afternoon outing, she had no Intention of putting to shame a young timber worker or of involving him in the expense of a new shirt; yet things work out that way. A woman tidies up the world by being tidy, and sweetens its life by being sweet. The same principle operates on a much loftier plane. For, in their churches to-morrow, Chris-, tlan people will magnify the grace of One who, coming among men, said very little about the pollutions and disfigurements that He deplored, but, by presenting the spectacle of a life of incomparable loveliness, set all men desiring to exchange their filthy rags for stainless robes.

The description has fired the ambitions of most of them to climb higher in the service. rne writer stated that the Australian office over looked the famous lake, with Mt.

Blanc in the dim distance. On one of the Sundays off the party witnessed a floral procession, 'one of the loveliest sights ever een." Beautiful blooms or roses, sweet peas, carnations, Christ-: mas lilies, delphiniums and gladioli were massed on the floats, and the perfume from the flowers was glorious. Another attraction was the quantity and variety of food and drinks available a contrast to other parts of Europe, and especially England. Air-Minded Youth Although present-day youth Is often charged with accepting the Innovations of the era with a mat ter of fact lack of excitement, few young people fail to be stirred by the aeroplane and its part in modern life. This has become more apparent recently with the introduction to Australia of fast travel by large passenger aircraft and rarely does a week pass without numerous parties of school boys and girls visiting Essendon aerodrome intent on seeing all there is to be seen.

This morning a large group of boys from the Church of England Boys' Society of West Preston will be the guests of Australian National Airways, while this afternoon the 5th troop of boy scouts will be shewn, over the company's Sky-masters and Skyliners. These par-tier will be but two of the many which have visited the aerodrome during the week and the officials who will be their hosts expect (or perhaps fear) that they will be required to answer just as many questions as on previous occasions. The Old Girls Tributes to former girl scnolars who attended old Box Hill Grammarians' dinner at the Victoria last night were received uproariously. Honoring the head mas ter, Mr. C.

P. Walker, who has held his position for 20 years, for the post-school success of many old scholars, Mr. Neil Dempster eicrrea especially to mose wno to-day were young women. While none of them, he said, "had set the Thames on fire," some had set a few hearts on fire. As it was widely acknowledged that most of the born leaders of men were women, he said, it was not unreasonable to hope that one day an old girl of the school would become Prime Minister of Australia.

High Pressure Power Corresponding to the most modern American and European practice, power from the Kiewa and Yallourn power stations is to be transmitted to Melbourne at 220,000 volts, almost double the present oltage. Nineteen volt transformers required for these transmissions are to be ordered by the State Electricity Commission from British manufacturers at a cost of 490,000. Eleven will be ordered from the English Electric Co. Ltd. for Mr stallatlon at Kiewa and Yallourn.

Would-be Migrant's Plea The keenness of some British ex-servicemen to migrate to Australia is shown in a letter "The Age" has received from a family in Essex. The writer, a formpr British airman, with a wife and two young sons, is so anxious to come to Australia that he is willing to work in any capacity until he is able to establish himself.

At present it is difficult for any prospective migrant to obtain a passage unless he is nominated by someone in this country. Consequently the ex- serviceman asks if' anyone 1:1 Australia Is prepared to supply temporary accommodation for himself and his family. MARKETING OF FARM PRODUCE inisters to Confer Stabilised marketing schemes in the post-war period for eggs, barley, tobacco and potatoes will be discussed by the Australian Agricultural Council In Canberra on July 21 and 22. Other subjects listed are horticultural planting, legislation controlling synthetic Iruit juices, standardisation of fruit and vegetable packages and certificates, wheat grading and beef industry research. Ministers of Agriculture from all States will attend the confer ence.

Reports will be submitted from the Soil Conservation Committee, the Irrigation Production Advisory Committee, and the Animal Production Committee. The Minister for Airriculture (Mr. Pollard) said yesterday that the council meeting would be preceded by a meeting of the Standing Committee on Agriculture in Canberra on July 17 and 18. It would be attended by Directors of Agriculture from all states and the Commonwealth. SUPPORT FOR CONFERENCE Attitude of the A.C.T.U.

The president (Mr. Clarey, M.L.C.), said yesterday that the Australasian Council of Trade Unions applauded the decision of the Prime Minister (Mr. Chit-ley) to call an industrial conference. Mr. Clarey pointed out that when conferences had previously been discussed the A.C.T.U.

had been willing to attend, but had laid down the condition that representatives or parties present should have authority, on a Commonwealth wide basis, to Implement decision made. The union did not favor the use of the phra.se "Peace in Industry" conference as the words were Utopian. He preferred to use the term "Better Industrial Relations" conference, and thought the action by the Prime Minister would many matters to be discussed In a spirit of earnestness and sincerity. jffR.

When doinit so tnev should bear in mind that the benefits then were paid out of ordinary revenue, whereus to-day they are to be paid by the worker himself from the special social services taax. Also the present-day cost of living is far in excess of that of twenty years ago. Take the Invalid and old age pension which New South Wales has had since and before Federa tion. When first introduced, tne old age pension was equal to one- tmi.d 01 a skilled man's wage. under tne new scheme tne rate will be approximately 35 per week, or one-third of the present unskilled wage.

Widow's pensions naVe been paid in New South wales since 1925, when a widow received 10 per week for each child. They are now to receive 76 per week. Relief payments under the new services will be approximately 25 per week which is roughly what New South Wales paid twenty yeai-3 ago.

"Iron Discipline" Ever since the introduction or responsible government there have been political parties In Australia, but they have not always had the same objectionable form of organisation or the same iron discipline tnat we see in operation to-day. It Is too much to expect the representative of free and independent electors to follow the fantastic twlstings of political party expediency session after session without question.

A representative of the people should have opinions of his own approved by the electors who send him to Parliament. His loyalty should be to the people, not the party. When lie approves of a party policy it Is right that he should support it; when he disapproves it is his duty to oppose. Proportional representation is not all that is required In the matter of Parliamentary reform, but It is the first and most important step. It is the road to all other reforms.

Not given to publicity-seeking, he carried on quietly but with a determination admired by the Cabinet and military leaders. Mr. Marshall, then Chief of Staff, and General Arnold, then head of the Air Force, acquired considerable respect for the ex-Wall-strect financier when Lovett's tactful but skilful manoeuvres succeeded in disentangling involved chains of command and establishing the Air Force as a co-equal partner in the. U.S. Army, together with the Ground and Service Forces.

It was a victory for modernisation, and much of the credit was due to Lovett. Supervision of aircraft production constituted an equally difficult, 'task. Lovett delighted in pushing production schedules to dizzy heights, but he refused STUDENTS NOT SATISFIED English Course Criticised Criticism of the present course in English, and suggestions foi its improvement, were voiced at the University yesterday, when undergraduates of the School of English held a meeting convened by students, mostly from the second year honors course. The general grounds of criticism were that the course was too wide and very difficult to cover in three years. Students should be allowed to specialise in a particular period earlier in the course, and if they wished to specialise in drama, It was stated.

There was not enough emphasis on why students were studying English, a point stressed In the History School. A temporary plan drawn up by, the conveners of the meeting sug-; gested a number of changes, including extension in the fields of criticism and drama; practical criticism in first year; printed notes with lectures, and tutorials to supplement lectures in criticism of textbooks. A committee was appointed to consider the proposals. ARTISTS LACK OPPORTUNITY No Halls For Performances A great tragedy In Australia Is that young artists have so little ODDortunitv. When they have the training; and ability, it is aimcuit even to nna a nan in which to perform.

This is Ihe opinion of Mme. Gertrud Bodenwieser, Viennese head of the Bodenwieser Ballet, which reached Melbourne yesterday. Mme. Bodenwieser, who started her school of modern dancine tn Sydney eight years ago, said there was much talent, and appreciation in Australia. If artists had the opportunity, there was no reason why development in modern interpretative dancing here should not be as great as anywhere in the world.

"But here in Melbourne," she said, "we cannot even find a nail for a nig' performance. In Sydney it is just as difficult." The New South Wales Depart ment of Education had already talran maal (ntnr.cl In Ih. work. Last year it had a special lesuvai ana una spun sored country tours by the ballet. On their recent tour of New Zealand members of the ballet had studied Maori dances, and hoped soon to study the dances of the Australian aborigines.

R. B. Hamilton, M.L.A. (Liberal, Toorak) at a meeting of Seymour branch of the Liberal party. Together with the present Industrial unrest and consequent shortage of materials, Mr.

Hamil ton said, Mr. Barry's "farcical" administration of the Building Materials and Operations Act was primarily responsible for the serious decline in housing work shown tn the latest figures from the Commonwealth Statistician covering the quarter ended March 31 last. Mr. Hamilton alleged that Mr. Barry persistently ignored the necessity for balancing the number of building permits Issued against the quantities of materials available.

Labor's housing policy, he said, was to make laws and prevent them being administered. Demanding the appointment ot a royal commission on housing, Mr. Hamilton declared that values were Inflated, black marketing was rampant, particularly In the building trade, Industrial production was deteriorating, luxury building was being allowed at the expense of the ex-service man, and tne unions were uom-munlst-rldden.

How that ship's ears should have singed the last few days as Glory's officers deprecated her activities and commended their own; but they realised that their own ears should be warm, too. The competition between these two carriers is remarkably keen. The men say it is a good thing.

The trip from Adelaide was full of interest and excitement as usual for an aircraft carrier. On Wednesday, the first day out, 16 Fireflies and Seafires took part in a rocket projectile attack on a target towed astern at a distance of 500 yards.

But many of lis, sailors included, were not interested so much in "what was cookln' as in making periodical dashes for fresh air. The 40-knot wind which blew Into the ship In the Bay yesterday helped the take-off for the five aircraft. But it gave Glory's 960 men, less than a quarter of whom have been to Australia before, a chilly welcome. They knew, however, that the people of Melbourne with the accent on the second syllable would give them a warm reception.
