Eniclcncy Of American Labor.

The latest issue OF the outlook quotes
from the London Times letter Of Mr.
Walker McDermott. secretary OF Lon
don company tfraser & chalmersl which
manufactures mining machinery both In
Chicago and in England. Mr. McDermott
says:
with labor-saVing machinery as the Amer
lean. The average payroll Of the Amer
lean works is about 40 per cent higher
than tho English. Owing however. to
the fact that the American works hard
and the EnElshman works easily. the
nctual cost Of labor on product is more
In the English works 3han abroad. Many
of the mechanics in the American shops
are English. II Is not. therefore. a ques.
tion of inferiority of race. nor Is II one OF
climate. Mechanics Will go from England
to America and work up to standards
there without any difficulty and think
they have bettorcd themselves"
This Is an important testimonial to tho
efficiency of American labor No doubt
1t is one of the chief explanations for the
higher wages In TINS country 1t is also
another evidence that high wages and
high cost of labor are not synonymous.
In fact. high wagca. as Mr.. McDermoti
Indicates in this case. may mean even
cheaper cost of production than where
lower wages are paid.
Efficient labor means better and larger
output and greater returns both to en-
ployer and employed. Whatever makes
for efficiency is to be encouraged above
everything else. No doubt one of the
rhict factors securing efficiency Of labor
heretofore In this country has been the
spirit OF activity and enterprise pervad-
ing the nation. The abundant opportuni-
ties have served to stimulate In all a
hopefulncss that Is conducive to Industrial
efficiency. In future. however artificial
aids must largely take the place OF the
stimulus of natural conditions. Educa-
ton and Industrial trade training are
necessary 10 keep American workingmcn

Life Made Easy by the Cultivation of a
Happy Disposition.
Perhaps there is nothing that add,
more to the happiness OF a home than
the habit OF cheerfulness." writes Mrs.
F. NJ Colby in the December woman's
Home Companion. "It is potent fac
tor In the secret of housekeeping. and
the housewife who has always n
pleasant smile and soothing wori
has already acquired one OF the most
valuable accomplishments. As long
ego as the days of the wise man q
merry countenance had its recognized
value. II is duty to be pleasant.
Yet how many neglect this important
requirement. Some women are consti-
tutionally cross and morose; others ars
weak and nervous. and are made fret
full by the exactions of their household
cares. But there is no excuse for much

such a home must be to the inmates.

"All women cannot be beautiful. but
1t is the duty of every woman to look
ns well as she can. and nothing adds
more to a woman's good looks than
cheerful countenance. I have always,
said the good Vicar of Wakefield, been
an admirer of happy human faces"
The sentiment is universal. The pleas
ure thus derived compensates for the
absence of beauty, and supplies the de
ficiency of symmetry and grace.
"Cheerfulness can be cultivated and
acquired as well as other qualities. II
ones work Is exacting and tiresome.

Form the habit of being cheerful un-

temper is among its most efficient
preseryatives. 1t is a virtue not to be

Engiands great naval heroes, in his
letters TO his daughters. says 4 never
knew your mother to utter harsh or
hasty thing to any person in my life.'
What loftier eulogy could woman
have than that?
.-sSDss women are naturally cheer
ful. but allow themselves to be put out
by little things. Suppose the servant
has broken n dish, or the butter doesn't
come. or your husband comes home to
dinner late. does 1t mend matters by
any impatient complaint? Preserve
your equanimity. The world was not

QUESTION OF EASTERN SHORE
a Good True story That Comes from

n Goou true story That Comes from
Maryland.
Strangers tell us 1t is fact that
after the formalities of an introduc-
tion to an eastern shore man at his
own home always follows the question:
is this your first visit to the eastern
shore?' The origin of this custom
was set forth by an eastern man at a
Cincinnati banquet at Newport. r. l.,
some years ago. when he was twItted
about the peculiarlty of his country
men, says the Baltimore Sun. The
story is true one. When. General
Lafayette accepted the invitation of
congress in 1924 and came to this couh-
try as the nations guest, great re-
ception was rendered him at the state
house in Annapolis officially by the
state. The governor of Maryland at
that time was an eastern shore farmer.

the reception and after all the other
notables were there and waiting for
the governor. who was hastily ushered
into the senate chamber. his clothes
splashed with mud Just as he was when
he dismounted. The DISTINGUISHED
people in splendid array in the cham
ber confused the plain and patriotic
eastern shore governor and when he
was presented to Lafayette he could
think OF nothing to say for the mo-
ment and blurted out: rs this the
first time you were ever in this coun-
