Horse Runs, Woman Hurt.

Mrs Jacob Wiedman, 1918 Hayes
avenue, is suffering from a scalp
wound and bruised shoulder as the
result of being thrown from her buggy
which was struck by a runaway horse
at II o'clock a. m. Mrs. Wiedman's
condition is not serious. The Wied-
man buggy was slightly damaged but
the buggy belonging to Mr. Green,
driver for bakery, was demolished.
William Graham took out the Green
rig to make a quick delivery to To-
cal store. He was about to re-enter
the vehicle with an empty basket, he
says, when passing automobile
frightened his horse. The horse, pull
ing the vehicle after him with ter
rife speed, went west from Fourth
street on Norfolk avenue. Standing
on the pavement was the Wiedman
rig. Mrs. Wiedman was seated in the
carriage and seemed not to notice the
approaching runaway horse. The
| Green buggy struck the rear of the
| Wiedman rig and threw Mrs. WED
man headforemost to the pavement.
She was taken into the Parish store
where a physician attended her. The
Green horse stopped only after the
vehicle caught itself on the high curb
ing of the sidewalk at the entrance to
the Fleming drug store. The buggy
was demolished and the horse kept
right on the cement sidewalk and
thence made tracks for the barn.
Mrs. Frank Scott and two little boys

store at the time and they were some
what frightened and sought refuge il

SCIENCE IN BUSINESS.
The Way the Task and Bonus System
Operates In a Factory.

The task and bonus system was in
trOduced by me in the Bethlehem Steel
works in 1901 as a means of atfording
substantial justice to the employee,
while requiring him to conform to the
best interests of his employer, says a
writer in the Engineering Magazine.
The employee was not told in a gen
eral way "to do better" but had a
definite standard set for him and was
shown how to reach that standard, for
which he was awarded compensation
in addition to his usual days pay.
The system may be described in n
general way as follows: A card is
made out showing in detail the best
method we can devise of performing
each of the elementary operations on
any piece of work, specifying the
time needed for each of these opera
tons as determined by experiments.
The sum of these times is the total
time needed to complete the piece Of
work. If man follows his instruc-
lions and accomplishes all the work
laid out for him as constituting his
proper task for the day he is paid a
definite bonus in addition to his day
rate which he always gets. If, how
ever, at the end of the day he has
failed to accomplish all the work laid
out he does not get his bonus, but
simply his day rate. AS the time for
each detail operation is stated on the
instruction card, the workman can con
tinually see whether he is earning
bonus or not. If he finds any opera
ton which he cannot do In the time
set he must at once report to his
foreman, who must show him how tC
do it or report to the man who made
out the instruction card. If the latter
has made an error he must make out
new instruction card, explaining the
proper method Of working and allow
ing the proper time. If, however, the
instructor contends that the work can
be done in the time set he must show
the workman how to do it.
