IF the coal bill for l.000 locomotives doing
 regular work can be cut $1S7. 900 in
 single year of panic. why cannot that great saving be made permanent?
 In every great corporation there is a vast amount of unnecessary waste. both in time and in material The most efficient ex- ecutive cannot stop it. Chiefly < is due to the carelessness or indifference of the indi- vidual employe. The larger the corporation the more this waste amounts to in the sg gregate. Jones. working at a desk in a freight once with only one other clerk, may waste half an hour day without attracting the attention of his employer. Nor will the % cents which Is the daily value of Jones' wasted time make a noticeable difference In the footings of the monthly balance sheet. But let thousand Joneses, working for tie same corporation, waste half an hour each c day, and in the aggregate the company faces q daily loss on the item of f$200-reachfng in year the impressive total of $00.0o0.
 A single fireman. without being unduly careless. may easily waste a couple of hun dred pounds of coal on a run. But with coal at S2 ton that amounts to only 20 cents a day-surely not enough to worry great railroad company with a capital stock of a hundred million dollars. It Is only when thousand firemen follow his example that the company finds Itself with $60,000 in pros- pective dividends scattered along it's right of lEay.
 But this is not a lecture, nor a bunch of good and quite unwelcome advice It is rather an attempt to tell something of the new relationship which has sprung up be- tween railroad companies and their em- pIoyes and of some quite remarkable results which have already been achieved as re- suit of it.

- HEN through some accident some Al worlds worker suffers amputation NV of leg or both legs fis sympa-
 thizers feel that in large measure
 his field of usefulness is spoiled. Did 1t ever occur to you that under certain cir cumstances a man wearing two wooden legs is mores valuable to his employer than he could be if he had both legs sound under him. with speed record on the cinder track?
 Harry E.. COlcott, employed by n large surgical implement house in Chicago stands on two wooden legs at his bench as he has been doing for twelve years or more making wooden legs for other people. For some time he has been foreman of the shop turning out artificial limbs of all kinds and as he moves about briskly at his work of measuring, fitting, and working at manu- fracture of such limbs he is a living exam pie of all that a modern artificial leg may mean to the person who has need of such a member
 Colcott lost both legs below the knee be- fore he had settled down to an occupation His parents decided to fit him with wooden legs that would artieulate. The boy was of a mechanical turn and the mechanics of the wooden legs interested him in the making, the fitting, and the using. The result was that he applied for the position of appren- tice in the workshop and has grown up with the highly specialized trade of leg and arm maker. fr
 Today, Colcott would forget his trade in every feature if by doing so his natural limbs would be restored tp him. But legless, and wearing these pecessary aids to lomocotion and to his work MT Colcott Is of more value to his employers fin proportion to his work than is any man Of equal efficiency who might have his own sound legs under him.

Some Figures Beyond JuesIer.

arers are much accustomed to take large chunks of incomprehensible figures and juggle them before the daxzled eyes of a puzzled and more or less admirsng public
 But there are certain large figures which they have never been able to juggle so as to deceive even themselves Thus. in the ten years ending with June. 1907. railroad earn jngs in the United States increased 131 per cent Then why didn't all the railroads in- crease their dividends to 10 or 15 per cent? Why do we hear all this foolish talk about how poor the railroad companies are today? Because of the simple but sufficient fact that during the same ten years railroad expenses increased 132 per cent The most talented financier can't tuggle those figures sufficient ly to make them spell anything pleasant.

 When met Mr. Colcott, 1t was on the balcony in the main salesroom, with the ball. cony reached by a flight of spiral stairs. By telephone Mir Colcott had been requested to come down from the shop, walk up to the proprietor's desk on the balcony, and from that loft perch lead the way for me to the workrooms on the fourth floor And no stranger who might have seen the two of us would have ventured thought as to even one wooden leg on my guide.
 .I hardly know now what induced mo to go into the business of making artificial legs" said Colcott. Probably it was be- cause I had a mechanical bent, and being without legs, felt that a workman's bench somewhere would be good thing It inter ested me, too, in seeing the mechanism of these artificial legs and learning to wa lk on them. I applied for place in the shop of the man who made them for me-he is out of business pow-and there I learned the business, For twelve years or more I've been at the workman's bench and I've never been sorry that learned the trade"

Artificial Leg Mechanical Wonder,

Colcot4's legs were cut off seven inches below the knees. so that the knee joints are preserved With these joints the person walking on the artificial member has much the advantage over the person suffering thigh amputations But in the mechanism of the wooden leg of today that person who walks upon 1t, with or without the knee joint, can produce the most natural approach to natural articulation in the false member.
 What is the extent of the wooden leg and wooden arm business of the country? This oue house in Chicago receives press clip pings of the accidents and operations re- ported in newspapers in which persons suffer loss of arms and legs, One day with another, this daily average is fifty for the United States, year after year! Eighteen thousand. two hundred and fifty legs, feet, arms, and hands every year amputated by accident or by the surgeon who takes the member as last resort! A wooden leg or wooden arm of best make costs $1oO. Here at once is 8.

stand cut without lighting. The problem was pretty one.
 And here we come back to Jones, the clerk who wasted half an hour a day; to the fire man who was careless about his coal. and to all the other 1,500.000 men who were not doing quite all that lay in their power to forward the interests of the roads which paid them wages. ss
 waste.and carelessness are always greater in good times than in bad-on railroads and in every. other branch of business In the first place. there Is . great demand for men. Two places are open for every man to fill them .' To h---l with 'emr' says Smith, with airy independence. as he let's a big lump of coal roll of on to the right of way. If he loses this job he can get another by walking across the street When times tighten up he is likely to be more careful to pc wiling to listen with more open ears. to suggestions from the bosses.
 
 Gardner Among the First.
 One of the first men to think Of all these things and to take into consideration inc possible saving which Jones and the firenlAn might effect seems to have been William A. Gardner, vice president in charge of opera tfon oh the Chicago 6 Northwestern system. One of MT. sGardner's jobs is to serve as president of the Omaha T line. a subsidiary of the Northwestern with 1,70o miles of track stretching from Duluth to Omaha
 The fact that MT. Gardner began as telegraph operator and worked his way up all along the line may have made 1t easier for him to understand the psychology of Jones and the fireman and to see the possi- bilities in the way of making frank and straightforward appeal to them. At any rate. A W. Trenholm, the general manager of the Omaha, called meeting in St. Paul which was attended by representatives of the four big labor unions to which most railroad workers belong. z @ ~ He laidsthe case sduarely before them. The gross earnings of the road were dropping fast; its net earnings were dropping even. faster. They could do nothing to keep up the gross. but they might do much to keep the net earnings from falling if every ihdi- vidual workman would do his utmost in the way of economy. Otherwise and inevitably more men must be laid of and both dividends and wages would have to be cut. Were they willing to have the.situation thoroughly ex- plained to the employees of the road and an

Suggestions are asked and gfven and the discussions are as free and open as possible. So much. good has Already resulted that the. meetings are to be continued indefinitely. similar plan is being carried out along the lines of the Bur lington system and other railroads are fast falling Into line
 A most important development of the new co0perative movement. of the nev.apd better understanding between railroad officials and fhe men employed in the operating force. is the, organization of the American Railroad Employees and Inyestors' associatton, which has now been in operation about year, with headuuarters in a big Chicago skyscrApet. Railroad companies which own and operate half the total mileage In the United States are already members of this association and are backing it financially. At it's head is P. H. Morrisey, long the head of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainrnen, the largest of the four unions to which most operating railroad men belong. Already a start has been made towards enlisting the active inter est of the individual railroad worker. About 25OOO railroad men are now contributing members and the work of organization is being pushed. especially in the west.
 The object of the new association is to con- tribute in every lawful way to the advance ment and prosperity of the railroad business and Of everybody connected with it. Espe- cially is if hoped, through the individual members of the association, to educate pub lie opinion to correct understanding of the situation in the rail world soa that the passage of what railroad men think unfair and unjust legislation may no longer be pos sfble. Incidentally will make more remote the possibility of railroad strikes and lock- outs. And in that respect 1t win serve most useful public purpose.

Proof in the Seeing.

"Can a man really get around briskly on one of these legs3" one can imagine mans asking a salesman of the house.
 Come upstairs and I'll show you how a man gets around on two wooden legs" re- turns the salegrnan-and MT. Colcott on the fourth floor of the building walks outto meet them and conducts the visitor in and shows the shop and the lathes and tools and stock for legznaking. walking In a manner which prompts the doubter to ask Mir. Colcott to
