"The busiest man in Chicago" has
for some time been the sobriquet Of
E. A. s. Clarke, general manager of
the international Harvester Co.
Twenty years ago E. A. 8. Clarke, a
$1,000 laboratory assistant in a small
steel factory. is said ii have been
the busiest man in Pittsburg.
Whether Clarke can add to his titles
that of the busiest man in New
York" remains to be seen. He left
his Chicago job a few days ago to
become president of the Lackawan
ma Steel Company. in New York, at
salary Of $4,000 a year. Clarke
is AZ years old and a Harvard gradu-
ate. His system of getting results
is said to be this-that whenever a
number Of men. or a plant, turns out
a maximum amount of work in a
given time that amount Of work
has to be the rule thereafter, and not
the exception, no matter how favor
able or unusual were the attendant
circumstances. The system is said
to have cost good many men under
Clarke their Jobs and to have earned
promotion for manw others.

Yet no naval expert doubts that
Togo will be the victor in the next

There may, Of course, be some
