Most Of the fireworks at the Fair
are supposed to tell a story, and
their scenarios have been planned by
••ean Labatut, a professor of architec-
ture at Princeton. And when Profes-
non Irabatut says he wants an explo-
sion with very sharp or very soft
sounds, it is up to Mr. Craig to work
out chemical formulas to produce
these effects. In the Creation of
Mankind display-, for example, Craig
is responsible for the Spirit of God
Shell -an affair which consists of "a
special five -inch shell that ascends to
a height, of 250 feet and explodes, re-
leasing a cluster of white stars and
a large white comet that burns until
it is only 50 feet above the water."
The Creation of Man includes the
story of Adam and Eve, which calls
for an Explosive Apple Shell. "This
item." according to Craig, "is. a spe-
cial five -inch red star shell, which as-
cends
scends to approximrately 200 feet, car-
rying a strip of red cellophane, 18
inches wide and 200 feet long." Craig
who thinks in technical rather than
in Biblical terms, isn't convinced that
everyone will recognize a Spirit of
God Shell as such, but he does•have,
confidence that it won't go off pre-
maturely and 'that it will look won-
derful.
No man could be better adjusted to
his chosen profession. While the

of a firecracker, working his -hands
up and dawn, wiggling. his fingers,
spluttering and saying things like
"Shbassss-Boar!" and "Bang, bang,
bang! Whi oa-oash!"' in exact co-ord-
ination with the fireworks that were
being set off. The comic effect was
somehow heightened by the fact that
Craig is only four feet ten, wears a
black Chestanteld and a derby, and
has a big, brushy walrus mustaohe.
Craig made so many pyrotechnical
noises while writing the specifications
for fireworks that he was moved from
one office to another in the Adminis-
tration Building. It seems he was
making it difficult for other men to
keep their minds on their work.
Craig has been acting more or less
like a firecracker all his life. He was
born in England: His father, grand-
father, greatt-grandfather and great -
great -grandfather were in the fire-
works business there. Craig recounts
that his father ,had two sisters. One
married James Pain of the famous
Pain fireworks family and they then
combined their Fireworks Business-
es. The other married out of the pro-
fession but atoned for her misalli-
ance by becoming forelady of the
Pain factory in London, which is now
run by Craig's brother Alfred.
As a boy Craig grew up in an at-
mosphere of ascending comets, whis-
tling cascade wheels, and cornucopia
rockets. When the was 14 he went to
work, loading rockets and candles, In
1886, when he was in his teens, he
accompanied his father to Lisbon at
the time of the marriage of the
Crown Prince of Portugal to a French
Princess, and helped set off a peram-
bulating display of miles of fireworks.
In 1888, he came to America to be=
come Chief pyrotechnist of se branch
of the family firm which his cousin,
Henry J. Pain, had just established.
Craig's chief assignment was work-
ing out the pyrotechnical details of
such displays as the Great Fire of
London, flee Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
the Fall of Rome, and the Last Days
of Pompeii. He handled these at-
tractions, and others. at such affairs
as the San Francisco Golden Gate Ex-
position of 1889, the Chicago World's
Fair of 1893, the inauguration of
President McKinley in 1897, and the
St. Louis Fair of 1904. At this fair.
he handled a $55,000 three-day dis-
play, the biggest single. job Pain's
elver had. T 'Golden Gate Exposi-
.tiou was ddeastmus for Craig. His
night eamdrttna broke during the Siege
of Sebes'topol.
After the ,Spanish-American War a
new and timely spectacle, the Battle
of Manila Bay, became one of Craigs
most successful productions. Frame-
work models of Spanish warships
were mounted on posts and fitted
with pulleys so that they could be
lowered when it eaune , firms 'for them
to sink; the models of the American
ships were placed on movable trucks
so they could advance to the attack.
Back of the ships were dynamite
sticks, open kegs of giant powder and
lots of Roman candles. Craig, at a
switchboard, would start the tea -min-
ute bombardment by pressing a key
which exploded a stick of dynamite.
'Phe Roman candles would come next,
with fireballs falling in showers on
the ships. Every few seconds Craig
would press a key and another stick
of the dynamite would rear a's the
American fleet moved toward the
Spanislh ship`s. Eventually Craig
would fire the giant powder, produc-
ing a terrific explosion, and long rows
of oil -saturated cotton back of the
Spanish ships would be touched off,
the vessels would appear to burst in-
to flame and sink. The Battle of
Manila Bay became a favorite attrac-
tion at New York's Manhattan Beach,
and during the winters Craig took it
on tour. His company charged $1,000
a night for his show and often had
contracts for 20 nights in one place.
Craig doesn't know which he enjoyed
more, Manila or the Siege of Vicks-
burg. For the "latter, he says, a gift-
ed fireworks man used to come out
and sing "Just Before the Battle, Mo-
ther."' "It made the lump come up
in your throat," Craig says.
Craig has made professional trips
to Japan, Australia, Cuba and Mexi-
co. In 1902 he ran displays at the
coronation of Edward VII, which in-
cluded! portraits of the King and big
hotaar balloons to which the - British
flag was attached. Craig's father was
to have had charge, but was killed in
a laboratory explosion shortly before
the coronation.
During the World War Henry Pain
opened a factory to manufacture
flares for the Lt. S. Signal Corps.
Craig possesses a great many trade
secrets, and in producing some para-
chute lights he revealed to the gov-
ernment a trick way he had of fold-
ing the chutes so that they would
right themselves immediately and op-
en up. He also permitted the Signal
Corps to see secret formulas for
making lights which would burn a
long time and have unusual visibil-

them in a notebook which -be always

cept Mrs. Craig has read. He says
that when he dies the book will be

In the more ambitious of the two
night displays at the Fair the fire-
works are discharged electrically
from 250 mortars distributed among
five barges on Fountain Lake. They
are set off by underwater cables run-
ning to the control room. The La-
goon and Fountain Lake displays
each last 15 minutes and together
cost $4,000 a night. The fact that
the fireworks are set off over water
makes it pretty safe for the specta-
tors but is 'a source of mild uneasi-
ness to Craig, who likes to poke a-
round on the barges. "If'I get smack-
ed off a barge, I'm gone," he says, for
he can't swim.
Back of his home on Staten Island
Craig has a vegetable garden and
stimulates his potatoes with gunpow-
der. He says gunpowder is a won-
derful fertilizer and not really dan-
gerous. Mrs. Craig is a motherly wo-
man wh'p considers her husband's ae-
tivities with sympathy. She doesn't
make a fuss when she finds bow1st or
pans missing from her kitchen, since
she knows Mr. Craig has merely re-
moved them in order to build them
up with plaster of Paris into some
sort of bomb. Craig's son, Cedric, re-
gards his father's career witthout
much enthusiasm. Craig is reconcile
ed to the fact that a family tradition
of five generations' standing is end-
ing with him, but the has no regrets
over his 'choice of profession. "I've
left a trail of sparks all over the
world, and that's ,more than you can
say," he told Cedric the other day.

Seaside Sand and Buckets
Line Thames At London
It is an unusual experience to trav-
el upriver in order to reach the plea-
sures of the seaside.=the sandy shore,
the buckets and spades, the deck-
chairs,, the ice-cream man, the band,
the Punch -and -Judy show, the shouts
of happy youngsters, the splashings
at the -water's edge, the boats for
hire men. But thousands of London-
ers are doing. it. Without leaving
London.
Some of there; as a matter of fact,
travel downriver to achieve the same
end at the same place. For the sea-
shore to which they go is located
right at the ponderous foot of ToWer
Bridge.
This is
the Low Tide Lido, and it
owes its existence to official Lon-
don's regard for children, plus the
efforts of charitable people who saw
their way to bring the fun of the
fcreshore to thousands of residents in
London's congested East End, other-
wise, would hardly ever have an op-
portunity to enjoy such a thing.
The authorities directly responsible
for this metropolitan pleasure , beach
are known ad Tower Hill improve-
ment, a charitable trust under the
patronage of Queen Elizabeth and
Queen, Mary.' The trust owes much
to the interest of Lord Wakefield,
who has made it one cr bis hobbies
and has personally, subsidized the
band.
Great Quantities of Sand
Funds have been allotted to trans-
form a section of the Thames River
bed into a sale and sunny playground.
Great quantities of sand were tip-
ped there, and more came through
the incidence of the September cris-
is. You see, officesand shops and
the Air Raid Precautions officials
made it their business to bring huge
stocks of sand into the Capital, as a
safeguard from air attack.
When it became clear that there
was going to be no air attack, these
folia had.. quantities of sand on their
hands. So the. secretary of the Tow-
er trust thought it would be well if
the youngsters had some of it on
their hands instead- So he started a
surplus sand campaign which brought
about 1,(100 tons to the shore in a
month, The sand is now 21/2 feet
deep.
The whole project ,has greatly
pleased and interested the big section
of London's population engaged in
and about boats in the extensive
dockland region. And one skipper
gave a very practical proof of his
sympathy with the cause.
DOS I'''OU KNOW
HOW TO1LIVE ?
(By Alexis "Carrel, M.D., in Reader's
Digest)
To dive is not sufficient. We need
also the joy of living. And the joy
of living requires health. Yet few
of, us enjoy true health, ,er know Chow
to acquiire it. We think that health
is merely a passive freedom from dis-
ease. We forget that it consists in
an active vigor and self-reliance; in
the power to struggle, to love, and to
create; that it is the exuberant flow-
ering, of life, which expresses itself
in a unique aptitude for • happiness.
Above all, we forget that health ems
braces both body .and mind. It is
composed not only of res'is'tance to
disease; not only of physiological 'en-
durance and the capacity for effort;
it consists also in moral strength and
mental equilibrium.
And yet lucky aro those of us who
can boast even of physical well-being.
Statistics from the World war per-
iod show that only 53 per cent of
American recruits were in good
health. In 193'0, out of 45 million Am-
erican children, 10 million were
physically below par, even disregard-
ing the many others with uncared-for
dental caries, adenoids and enlarged
tonsils. It is safe to say that almost
half of -tthe adult population of civ-
ilized nations is below the level of
complete freedom from disease.
Modern man need's, however, more
than man ever did before, complete
Health. For we must withstand the
unprecedented excitation, noise and
bewildering complexity+ of our social
surroundings; both is 'business and
the home we are unduly burdened
with worries and nervous fatigue.
Hence we cannot consider health -as
medical science too often does -mere-
ly in its physiological aspects. Mental
and moral health are necessary as-
pects of fully developed human per-
sonality.
It is time to discard the erroneous
belief that the body is composed of
separate organs and is distinct from
the soul. Our body comes from a
minute egg, composed of one cell.
This cell divides into two parts, and
tihe daughter cells divide in turn. And
this process goes on until tihe body is
completely developed. Thus, the un-
ity of the egg becomes multiplicity,
but the original unity persists in the
adult body. Organs and conscious-
ness are harmoniously integrated by
the immense network of the nerves
and nerve centers, and by the hor-
mones, those chemical messengers
-sent by each gland to all parts of
the body.
.Health consists precisely in' the
maintenance of this wholeness. It
depends both on the. vigor of the or-
gans and the 'harmony of their re-
lations. For instance, thlealth is im-
paired wlhen• sclerosis of the arteries
decreases blood circulation:. It is
likewise impaired if anger, fear or
worry upsets the autonomic nervous
system of the intestine or the heart.
Human activities are simultaneous-
ly physiological 'and mental. Body
and soul are one. A disease of the
thyroid gland, er a tumor of the
brain, may express itself by intellec-
tual or moral aberrations. Converse-
ly, emotional disturbances often cause
lesions of the stomach or of the art-
eries.
The sound body lives in silence. We
do not feel its working. All organs
are provided with sensitive nerves.
Through these nerves, they send; sil-
ent messages to the autonomous
nerve centers, especially to the cen-
ter of visceral consciousness located
at the base of the brain. These sub-
conscious messages bring color to
life. On the eve of an illness, they
may give us a feeling of imminent
misfortune. If coming. from healthy
organs, they infuse us with an unac-
countable happiness -with the joy of
living.
It is impossible to manage one's
life properly withput some knowledge
of these ways of the human body. We
cannot obtain this knowledge from
single textbooks, nor from medical
specialists. It comes from muoh
reading of many books, or from
those physicians who still have the
courage to practice general medicine.
But there are certain fundamentals
that we should all understand. For
to conserve or acquire health de-
mands the will -to -know and the will -
to -act. Health is essentially a per-
sonal thing. It cannot be bought
from the physician or the pharmacist.
It has to be wopi at the cost of cease-
less attention and effort.

Cargo From the Netherlands
Finding himself at -•a Netherlands
port. without any cargo to take home
he bethought him of the youngsters
back in London and put his labor to
work shovelling best quality Dutch
sand into the timid of his vessel. Com-
ing up London River -the name all
good mariners give to the Thames --
he transferred his weighty cargo to
the Low Tide Lido, thereby showing
how the thoughtfulness of a single
-person can help to give joy to many,
Which, when you come to think of
it, is the moral of this story. For,
prior_ to the opening of the Lido, in
1934, wibb much official pomp and
mayoral ceremony, this self -same
spot, through a playground for chil-
dren when the 'policemen were not
looking, was no fit place for anyone
to play on. Being, when the water
was out, nothing •much more than a
slab of uninviting mud, with a gar-
nishing of inconvenient stones.
Then someone had the happy
notion of transforming this unpic-
turesque scene into a playground
that the youngsters could really play
on -with the policeman pausing on
his beat now and again, to smile ap-
provak
Other Boroughs Interested
To stet up groynes and piers whish
would stop the sand from being wash-
ed away, took many months of work,

one strict general rule: prohibition of
all poisons. Poisons may come from
within and from Without. Care of
the diigestllve apparatus, ,especially of
constipation, dnfected teeth, or any
tither chronic Infection', will prevent
poisoning from -within. Poisoning
from without is more difficult to erad-
icate. It takes courage to give up -
or at least cut down! --smoking. It
takes will power not to drink several
cocktails before dinner when one is
very tuned. Hylpnotics..are widely us-
ed in modern life. Yet in '.many cas-
es their effects may be more deleter-
ious than the sleeplessness they 'pre-
vent.
Health is affected by our, ability to
utilize the conditions of our surrounii-
ings, or to protect ourselves against
therm. Changes in environment condi-
tions st-art the, activity, of a peculiar
physiological mechanism', the adap-
tive function. This function allows
organs, nel-ves and blood to improvise
means of meeting n.ew. situations.' For
instance, when external temperature
rises, automatic mechanisms prevent
our inner temperature from increas-
,iug. If we face an enemy, anger
stimulates the glands to secrete in
the blood 'stream' substances that in-
crease pulse, blood pressure and the
amount of sugar required by • the
muscles as fuel for attark or defense.
Likewise, bacteria, when introduced
into tissues, bring about a reaction
that 'leads to their destruction.
Thus, adaptation gives the organ-
ism the po'wer.. to .fight diseases and
to maintain its inner harmony, in
,spite of changes in surroundings.. En-
durance and fitness increase when
these adaptive mechanisms are forti-
fied by constant exercise -that is; by
struggle against the ; environment.
Health ds largely due to the excel-
lence of adaptation.
We are fortunate in the climate of
this country. It is 'stimulating be-
cause cold alternates with heat, rain
and snow with sunshine. Its advant-
ages will be dost to us if we blindly
persist in living in the too hot, dry
and even climate of the house, the
office, the automobile. Our skin
needs. the rough embrace of the
storm, the rain, the scorching sun.
But it requires character, deliberate
effort, to maintain our contact with
nature-•merely.'to rise an hour earl-
ier, for instance, and to take a brisk
walk in the park.
Weall know the importance of at-
tention to what we eat. We know
that the chemicals required for build-
ing up sound tissues can be had in
a mixed, diet of fresh vegetables,
fruits, cereals, milk and ,meat, and
that there is no need of adding ex-
pensive pharmaceutical' products. But
how many of us refuse the salads we
know we need, or pamper our tastes
for excessive amounts of sugar or
pastry! Our• own health is our own
responsibility. Do we really exercise
that responsibility wisely?
Our health also depends on social
and psychological environment. We
should protect ourselves from excite-
ment, ceadeless change of habits, too
much cinema and radio, noise, use-
less worries. Also we should impose
upon our inner self strict rules of
daily physical, moral and mental ef-
fort, of honesty and selflessness. It
is a striking fact that the code o1
mental ;hygiene is almost identical
with the moral code. Is not the ulti-
mate purpose of medicine to develop
human beings who would ignore phys-
icians and hospitals and need no re-
pairs?
To conclude: Health of the body
and 'mind is not an end in itself. Its
paramount importance is that it
gives each one the power to develop
all tie innate potentialities, and to
play well his part -small or great -
in the drama of life. Although Health
can be greatly aided by physicians,
tihe business 'of being healthy is prim-
arily ours. Why do not medical
schools train in addition to, special-
ists, physicians possessing a wide un-
de_stand.ing of man as a whole, and
capable of teaching us how to ac-
quire physiological and spiritual
health?
We should know these things since
the task of being healthy is one that
nobody ,can. undertake 'for us. For
our own sake, we have to make the
effort to know our selves and to ap-
ply the knowledge to our individual
needs. To do this demands personal
effort and self-discipline. This effort
will certainly be rewarded. To many
it will bring freedom from disease,
harmony of organic and mental func-
tions. To all, it will bring greater
well-being and a kdener joy of living.
