A SPUR TO LABOR.
MUSIC Is ADVOCATED TO HURRY
FACTORY WORKERS.
British Employers May Adopt Plan
Said to Have Been Successful in
Other Lands-Not Appli-
cable Everywhere.

Music in workshops and factories OF
England is the latest plan adopted to
quicken the labor Of the working man
and working girl.
Instead OF the hum Of machinery may
soon be heard in the streets of Sheffield
and Manchester and Birmingham and
London, and other cities up and down the
country, the strains of cheerful music
coming from factory and workshop. The
plan has been tried with success in other
lands and Mr.. Budget Meaken is now
advocating Its adoption in England,
with common sense and experience on
his side. D
Music, he claims, will enliven men and
women in their work. In Tangier he no.
ticed that Spanish boys employed to fold
newspapers worked at a great speed
when singing hymns, while they were
apt to flag when working in silence. In
cigar factory In the United States he
found the idea being carried out on more
definite lines. In the workshop was a
piano, and at intervals a girl worker
would be told off to play some bright
music. A marked Improvement in cheer
fulness and In the speed of the work was
noticed.
or course" said Mr.. Meakin, this
idea is not applicable to every factory,
nor will any kind of music do Work
that requires intense concentration
might be hindered by 1t, but work of the
more mechanical kind, such as sweet
packing, cigarette making, etc., would
be distinctly benefited.
Take the case of an extensive rush
contract, which has to be completed
within very short time. A set OF
lancers from popular conSc opera
would set the hands merrily at work at
high pressure, but the strain would not
be noticed, for the same reason that deli
cate girls are able to keep dancing until
the small hours of the morning Take
away the music and they would tire in
ten minutes"
There is much In favor OF the plan, for
1t works like magic in the navy.
A works manager recently said:
Where number of men or girls are
working together In the same way !
think a barrel organ might be employed
with good effect, and even in an under
takers workshop the charms of Down
Among the Dead Men might make the
planes run more rapidly"

EDUCATION AND SUCCESS.
DR.. Finley of New York City Gives
Statistics Showing Former Is
conduaSe to the Latter.

Whether or not a college education is
conducive TO success is a question on
which men Of learning and practical
, business men have been at odds for
years. II in fact has been the argument
Of the self-made type of merchant that
university me. is untitled for busi-
ness career. DR.. John Huston Finley,
president Of the College of the City Of
New York, however, has reached def
mite conclusion on the subject, which he
bases on statistics provided by the state
board OF regents.
According to DR.. Finley, one In 40
college-bred men succeeds in life, while
only one noncollege man in 10000 has
a chance to gain distinction as public
man. These figures indicate the college
man has $50 chances to one for the nom
college man to win success.
II is admitted by Or. Finley that the
question Of success in these statistics is
calculated by the standards Of biograph-
ical dictionaries
They have palps or not, he says. as
such standards are recognized as valid.
Once they are accepted they become actu-
arial tables OF success"
DR.. Jacob Gould Schurman, president
OF Cornell university. is also of the opin-
ion that college education is a vital
condition Of success.
Prof. Arthur T, Hadley. president OF
Yale university. is in doubt on this SUBJ
ject, and expresses himself as not be-
ing convinced that persons whose names
are contained In biographical diction-
airy have invariably won success.
1T is hard to define success In life alb
stractly," he says. you cannot reduce
the matter to statistical information"
Two American biographical works
were the basis on which the figures are
estimated. In one Of them, a cyclopedia
of American biography, there are more
than $4,000 names OF these persons,
more than one-thlrd we're college bred.
The other was a standard biographical
dictionary containing II, SOL names Of
living men and women In the United
States, and of these SITS, or 50 per cent.
have enjoyed 4 college education, while
1910, or AZ per cent, are college gradu-
ates.

EARLY MORNING SERVICE.
Vicar Of st. Paul's Chapel in New York
Institutes Innovation for
Night Workers.

More than 200 persons, a few of them
women, occupied the pews of historic old
St. Paul's Episcopal chapel in New York
city when the first early morning Lenten
service was held there the other morning
at 2:30 O'Clock Night toilers on news
papers published In Park Row welcomed
the innovation, which made 1t possible
for them to attend at an hour that to
them was seasonable. The vicar, Rev.
Montague Geer, had feared that the VEN
ture would prove failure. Fifteen min
utes before the appointed hour not per-
son had entered the chapel, and he be-
came anxious. First came a single at
tendant, a white-haired man; then they
began to arrive by twos and threes, and
soon there was good attendance. When
the minister had read the opening service
he announced Rock of Ages" and there
being no organist Mr.. Geer himself
walked over to the organ and made the
chapel ring with melody. All present
Joined in. His address was short but
interesting, and when his congregation
was leaving the building more than one
stopped to shake hands with the vicar,
thank him andrsquest that the services
be continued.
The idea Of holding the early morning
Sunday service is his, and he would not
have the initial service fail through any
fault of his own. This is the first time
such a service has been held in Por-
testant church in New York city. For
several years mass has been said at the
same hour In St. Andrews Roman Cath
Ollie church In Duane street.

How to Increase the
Value Of the Corn Crop.
ID Wetkly Agri.ultu..lL-tterl

Reports received in this office dur
ing the last isw days Indicate that
the storms during the month OF Sep
temter caused a loss to the corn crop
of the State to he amount 81 more
than % ,O00,0 bushels This is
great lossto theiarmers but as great
as 1t is the farmers may more thnn
recover this loss by adopting better
methods in feeding the corn. More
corn is perhaps fed to hogs than any
other kind of stock.
Experiments recently made at the
Missouri Experiment Station show
that the efficiency OF corn is greatly
increased by feeding wish it some
other feed In order to properly
balance the ration. A recent expert
ment conducted by Prof. E h.
Forbes, shows that when corn meal
was mixed with oil meal at the rate
Of . parts corn meal to one OF oil
meal It required $40 pounds OF the
mixture reproduce a hundred pounds
Of gain on hogs weighing about 100
pounds to begin with. Where corn
meal alone was fed 1t required $3.50
pounds to produce 100 pounds OF
gain. Where shelled corn only was
used It required 500 2pounds topro-
duce 100 pounds Of gain. Now &C.
cording 10 this experiment farmer
who feeds 100 bushels Of shelled corn
can produce 500 pounds OF pork.
the corn worth 80 cents
and the pork, live weight, 4 cents the
farmers. profit in feeding the 100
bushels OF corn is So 80. Now sup
pose the farmer grinds this corn. Ac.
cording to the experiment he will
produce from the 100 bushels, 1907
pounds OF pork, live weight, at 4
cents per pound, which will bring him
S40,2S. Allowing ) cents per bushel
for grinding the corn, counting the
corn at 80 cents he has made aprofit
on the 100 bushels OF corn fed as
corn meal OF IS 2S. Now suppose
the farmer buys enough OF oil meal
to mix with 100 bushels OF corn
which will take 1920 pounds OF the
oil meal at $1.2 per hundred which
will cost $14. $50 Tor the hundred
bushels of corn, S. for grinding and
s14 for the oil meal makes $40 for
lost OF feed. Now according to the
above referred to this
lmolnt of mixed feed 600 bushels
,orn meal and 1920 lbs. oil meal) |
will produce 1885 pounds OF pork,
i've weight at 4 cents per pound, and
'ring $71,4O, makinga profit on the
100 bushels OF corn after paying for
,rinding and for the oil meal added
II $22 40, or net profit above what
lie received for feeding 100 bushels OF
helled corn OF 500 OS. This would
mean an increased profit on the corn
# 20 cents per bushel
This data refers to hogs fed In dry
OTIS and OF course there would not

mere, a suburb of this city, was struck
and killed by ID. and X. G.. west bound
passenger train No. 3, near the coal
chutes at the eastern limits of the rail
road yards about o'clock this morning.
Childs was observed by the engineer
standing near the track and the whistle
was blown to warn him of the approach
of the train, but he paid no attention to
it and when the locomotive was only a
few feet away attempted to cross the
tracks with fatal results.
Childs was the son of Rev H. S.
Childs of Orchard avenue and was about
30 years of age He was formerly en-
ployed as a telegraph operator by the
