GARDEN OF THE GODS.
Telescopes Permit View of Spanish
Peaks 80 Miles Away.

The garden of the Gods lies somewhat
northeast of Manitou. and though
there are different modes of approach
we left the car at Adams crossing and
took a road leading to the north. To
our left was the chain of mountains
each grand in itself. though seeming to
draw the attention to the peak. the
mightiest of them all. Owing TO the
surroundings the height of the noun
tam does not seem so great The dis
lance was about four or five miles.
The rock formations are of great in
terest and have been named from the
shapes which they seem to represent
such as SPHINX. Cleopatra's Needle and
the kissing Camels. We were looking
for two of especial note, Steamboat
Rock and Balanced Rock. Two rocks
of red sandstone form the eastern en-
trance. They tower erect with space
somewhat larger than the road be
tween them Steps have been cut out
in one so that one can climb nearly 70
the top.
What beauties, what scenic wonders
met our gaze as we came TO Steamboat
Rock. Telescopes have been placed on
the top and through these the Spanish
peaks so miles away. the famous In
cline and the summit house on Pixies
Peak can be seen. Balanced Rock is
close by. a marvel of rock formation

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Have you heard-''you' meaning es-
pecially housewives this time-of the
new science of motion sludy2
This science is a study of the mo-
tions made by the ordinary workman
and an endeavor to systematic and
reduce these to the feWcst, most eff
cient and least fatiguing motions pos
sible, and to teach the workman to do
his work in this way.
Frank B. Gilbreth who is one of the
pioneers in this movement, has applied
the new science to bricklaying. Now
bricklaying is an industry as old as
Moses, and one would think it's meth
DDS would be close to perfection.
And yet it is possible for a brick
layer to do his work in one-third the
time it used to take him, if he will use
the metho and motions prescribed by
Mr.. Gilbreth after years of study.
An editor who had heard of Mr..
Gilbreth's method resolved to apply
some of the principles in his office. A
study was made of the way in which
the many thousands of letters which
were often sent out in =. circulation
campaign were handled by the girls
who folded and sealed them. The re-
suit of the study was a arrangement
of the materials and the sequence of
motions so that each girl was actually
able to accomplish four times as much
as before.
People in many vocations are be-
coming tremendously interested in this
new study and applying it to their own
especial bit of the worlds work.
Now, why not you-"you' still
meaning especially housewives, and
even more especially housewives who
do their own housework.
If this method can do SO much for
systematized trades like bricklaying,
what might it not do for haphazard
trade like housework?
If it can enable an office worker to
do four times as much work in the
same time, why can't it help you to
do your work in one-half the time=to
be conservative-that yor require
now?
Not only does motion study seek to
reduce the time required by tasks but
also the fatigue the task causes. 1t at
tempts 10 eliminate unnecessary reach
ing and STOPPING, and to determine
what are the most efficient and help
full tools and surroundings.
1t seems to me that there is no field
in which the science of motion study
could accomplish more than in house
work
have often heard It said that
housework is hard on woman of
brains. because it does not give her
enough to occupy her mind.
Now here is that woman's chance.
Let her get from the rublic library
some of the literature on motion study
and apply its principles to her work
and she will surely find tnerain an op-
portunity to put brains as well as
Drawn into her tasks.
