CARRYING PIG IRON.
The Way Scientific Study increased
Results and Wages.

The Way Scientific Study increased
Results and Wages.
No work seems more simple, more
unlikely to be subject to scientific
study, than the art of carrying pig
iron. This, however, has been sub
jected to the most careful scientific
study. Men at Bethlehem, Pa, were
loading pig iron on cars at the rate Of
about twelve tons a day. Certain pig
handlers were given extra wages for
doing this work under special direc-
ton. An attempt was made to ascer-
tain the relation between the amount
Of horsepower which each man exert
ed and the fatigue which he incurred.
Long continued experiment furnished
vast amount Of information, but ap-
parently no law. Finally j.. w. Tay-
lor, who was conducting the expert
ments, handed the data over to an
associate who was apt at mathemati-
cal problems. Very soon he reported
fatigue varied in proportion to a GER
tain relation between the amount Of
load and the period of rest-for exam
pie, man carrying ninety~two pound
pig had, in order to avoid fatigue, to
be at rest % per cent of the time. The
discovery of this law involved a great
amount of data. including certain phys
biological facts concerning the poison
GUS effects of waste tissue upon the
blood and difficult mathematic formu-
la. including the plotting Of curves.
As result the pig handlers were d.
rected exactly how to lift and carry
their loads and when to rest, and the
amount Of pig iron handled by each
man every day increased from twelve
and half tons to forty-seven. OF
course the men received a great adj
vance In wages.-Ernest Hamlin Alb

A Premium on Marriage.

In Belgium they place premium on
marriage by allowing a married man
two votes at an election as against
the single mans one. In Madagascar
one must be father or pay for the
default. If a man is unmarried or
childless at the age of twenty-five he
must contribute annually $3.75 to the
support Of the state. and each woman
who has remained single or is child
less at twenty-four is taxed $1.S0 per
year.

The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1911-10-27

Three times during the past ten
days children of tender years have
narrowly escaped serious injury or
perhaps death while playing in the
streets of the city or while crossing
streets without proper care, In all
cases the children We're not old
enough to be on the streets without
some one to look after them. 1t is a
common sight to see on our main
streets boys, playing on the pavement,
dart out into the street almost I'M
der the feet of the horses or under
the wheels of the automobiles. The
city places all the restrictions possible
upon the transfers and drivers of
autos in order to protect the public
and yet in spite of this care accidents
have been averted by just pure luck.
What needs the most attention at
present is the parent, who will allow

whether it is desirable or not, it is not
so undesirable to have women voting
as it would be to have half the wo-
men of the state believe that their
just rights were denied them by the
men. If, on the other hand only a
minority of the women desire the suf-
frage, there is a palpable inconsist-
ency in asking the men to force upon
the other women as their right bur-
den from which they wish to be re-
lieved. The referendum, initiative
and recall have been adopted in Cali
fornia, as they have been proposed
elsewhere, as remedy for bossism. 1t
remains to be seen whether the rem
edy will prove efficacious. We think
it is one to be held in reserve that
the short ballot principles, as ex-
pounded by Mr.. Childs in his interest
ing book of which we wrote last
week, should be made a precedent re-
form, and the direct appeal to the peo-
pie for townmeeting legislation
should be reserved for a last resort.
The Outlook is strongly opposed to
applying the recall to the judicial Of
flee and thus making it possible at
any time to transform town-meet-
ing into a court of appeals. But we
can understand why recent events
have led the people of California to
adopt the perilous remedy for the in
justice wrought by technicality and
traditionalism, if by nothing worse, in
the courts. And we are quite sure that
unless the courts in other states learn
a lesson from the California election
the lesson that substantial justice is
far more important than a blind ad-
herence to technical rules or past ira
ditions-they may expect the example
get by California to be followed in
other American communicative

his children to play upon the danger
Gus streets or to go about unattended
before reaching the age where the
child can care for him or herself 1t
is not out of the possibility to have
some fatal accident in which the driv-
er of the team or auto will be blamed
merely because some parents leave
the city authorities to assume respon-
sibility which they have shirked as
parents.

BROUGHT IN FOR WINTER FEED
Al Page Ships Large Herd to His
Ranch.

Monday afternoon there were four
teen cars of cattle unloaded at the
stock yard and taken out to the ranch
of Al Page, who will feed them during
the winter months. On Saturday two
cars were received for the same place.
Stock feeding on the tract is fast be-
coming one of the leading industries
of the Twin Falls tract and it assures

cars of sheep were unloaded at Filler
to be feed in that neighborhood for
the winter and that there are more to
follow.

For recall, about 100000.
For woman suffrage, 1850.

Altogether there were twenty-three
amendments submitted, but fifteen of
these dealt with only five distinct sub
jects. One group of five amendments
gave larger powers to the railway
commission and privileges to its en-
ployees; another group of six gave
larger powers to cities and counties in
making their own charters; another
group of three pertained to the courts
of the state; and a group of two put
in practice the principles of the short
ballot. One important amendment
provided for workmen's compensation,
and one provided for civil service re-
form, which in California has been
strangely lacking. All of these are,
according to unofficial reports, adopt
ed At first the amendment providing
for womans suffrage was reported as
defeated; and Immediately the advo
Gates of woman's suffrage announced
their intention of having recourse to
the newly adopted process of initia-
tive to bring the question anew before
the people of the state next year. No
body seemed to think it worth while to
consult the women themselves on the
question. If a majority of the women
desire the suffrage, it should be and
would be generally given, because,
