Heart toHeart

DO YOU NEED HIN?

He was an efficiency engineer"
Explaining his business. he told NE
he was employed by the owners Of
large factory plants 10 study the oper-
atoms Of the plants and 70 report as TO
ways and means by which waste
might be eliminated.
For instance
He might find that certain machines
were wrongly placed to secure best re-
suits or that the machine operatives
were making unneccSsarv.motio ana
keeping down the output
Or
That the power was insufficient or
was not properly transmitted to the
machines, or not fully utilized, or that
waste could be cut out by using certain
byprotilcts.
Or
That roll top desks be abolished and
fiat tops substituted in order that
clerks doing merely mechanical work
might not waste time behind the roll
tops
Now
1t easily can be seen that the intelli-
gent study of such an efficiency en-
gineer would be of great value to his
employers. And in large way it
may be said he is helping to hasten
the day of larger production and of
fewer hours of labor.
And | thought
How much we humans need the
services of some such efficiency eX
pert.
We are each operating the most val
liable and most complex plant in ex-
istence-the mind and body, There's
the dynamo that runs it-nervous en-
ergy. And the whole machinery of it
is under the control and direction of
the business office-the brain.
Do we get all the power necessary?
Is the transmission all right? Is any
machine defective? Is there waste Of
energy, force. or of the product?
We know when we fret and worry
th re is less of nervous energy; when
ere is nerve dissipation there is loss
of vital power.
When the machinery of body or mind
is overtaxed we do not turn out our
best work. and there is depreciation of
the machinery.
Are we manufacturing happiness?
Are we turning out character?
Is the product worth whileI
If not. there Is something wrong
with the plant. 1t needs overhauling.
We need an efficiency engineer.

submerged for half an hour or even

in women and children, in whom the
fright at finding themselves in danger

by fire are traced directly to defective
wiring" said Willard Done, state insur-
ance commissioner. yesterday.

he added, "but have no hesitancy in max
Ing this statement.
This can be easily remedied by max
ing the inspection a little more strict

keeping the wires in good order after
they are In.
Fire losses in the United States and
Canada in 1910 totaled 1924, 470.650, and
the United States geological survey states
that over half of these losses were pre-
ventabe. The safe and sane Indepen-
dence day should also be encouraged and
the use OF anything but safety matches
looked upon as almost criminal"
Mr.. Done was enthusiastic about pre-
venting fires and said that his depart
