The Banner is crowded today with
Christmas advertising that ought to

stocks of goods as here in Benning-

town and vicinity 10 come in and

this time in the year. advertising
encroaches on the reading columns
of the newspapers, which is as it
should be, for it is the advertising
that gives the public the most aid

In submitting to Congress the
tariff boards report on schedule X
the president in substance advises
the legislative body that the boards
findings amply justify a downward
revision, and he recommends that
such revision be proceeded with at
once" He does not indicate, how.
ever, what duties would meet with
executive approval. He does not pre-
tend to guide Congress in reducing
rates, beyond saying that the revision
downward should be in accordance
with "the protective principle" Con-
gress is left to learn from the tariff
boards data as to relative prices and
costs of production here and abroad
what changes in duties should be
made; and, as the board is not per-
mitted to make any recommendations
whatever, it Is clear that the situa-
ter the presidents veto of the wool
bill last summer-Springfeld Repub-
ican.
II is evident that this is the start
of another period of tariff revision
which the country will have to en-
dure. Here in Bennington we are all
vitality interested in the wool tariff
for most of us either directly or in
directly get our living from wool
manufacturing. Whether we know 1t
or not, the prosperity of the leading
manufacturers of Bennington and
the actual living of a majority of the
working people of the town is more
or less dependent on this matter of
wool tariff Most of us know mighty
little about the question in detail and
what little we think we know, may
be wrong 1t is probable that the
present tariff On wool and wooden
goods is too high II is certain that
the southern Democrats who come
from a section where wool is neither
grown nor manufactured will try to
impose a tariff that will be ruinously
lOW-ldldl W MANUFACTURERS anu oult
to throw thousands of men and wo-
men out of work. Down south and
out west, they think that here in New
England we are all getting rich off
the tariff, but we who live here know
that both manufacturers and en-
ployes have a hard time usually TO
make both ends meet Somewhere
between the Underwood and the Al
drich extremes there is probably
fair medium which Bennington folks
will hope may be reached. Especial
ly, however, do we hope and pray
that whatever is to be done may be
done quickly. Constant agitation and
tinkering is what we Of the wooden
manufacturing towns suffer from. II
any citizen of Bennington has any in

LOST NOTION.
An average bricklayer will lay about
1000 bricks in one day.
The same man working under i'm
proved methods will lay as many as
300 bricks in one day.
The difference?
Under the old methods there is too
much lost motion. The brickla yer
must make some eighteen motions in
laying one brick; also in bending over
TO lift the brick be lifts not only six
pounds of brick. but about 100 pounds
of brick mason. Seer
In lifting 1000 bricks, under the old
system. he lifts 100000 pounds OF
brick mason.
Under the new efficiency methods an
unskilled laborer is hired to put the
brick where the mason will not be
compelled to stoop to get it.
Again, under the old system a brick
mason must toss the brick in the air.
turning it over until his touch tells
him which is the top. Did you know a
handmade brick has a top? Under the
piled in front of the mason right side
up
Moreover, under the old way the
mason taps the brick several times to
make it settle properly. The new way
provides that the mortar shall be
thinner, SO that the brick settles into
place of its own weight.
Little things
Yes, but they make up the difference
between laying 1000 bricks and 200
bricks in one day, and it is easy to see
how impossible it would be for n con-
tractor under the old system to COM
pete with a contractor under the new.
Lost motion-that measures the diff
ference.
Is there such a thing in your bust
ness or profession? Maybe it is be-
cause you or your employer still bend
over to get the brick that your COM
petitor down the street is getting the
better Of you. There is lost motion
with you. He cuts out every unneces-
sary turn.
Lost motion.

your health? Is there lack of har-
mony. Of efficiency, of exercise. of
regularity in the care Of your health
Are you lifting yourself. like the brick
mason, too many times a day:
Lost motion.
How about your mental health? Do
you keep the bricks piled up in front
of you, or do you waste many pre-
cious hours dabbling at this and that!
You cannot expect your mind to build
itself up when you lose efficiency in
turning the bricks right side up.
Lost motion.
Your moral health? Are you build
ing up the wall Of character steadily
How about the mortar? Is 1t too
thick?
Are you the victim of lost motion?

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

questionahly the most cheerful spot III
the country. Our leading financiers
appreciate full well the power of cheap
money as Il Stimulant 10 values and
enterprise, and they realize better than
anyone else the significance of the re-
turn in our foreign trade to more nor
NAL conditions. 1t is not the volume of
this foreign trade that is Of influence,
SO much as the significant changes in
plies.
Already there has been a very CON
siderable absorption OF bonds and high
class investments by wealthy individu-
ais and concerns who consider it good
business where principal is safe to in
vest in sound securities paying and
per cent when money can be Dor
rowed a. low as "a per cent. Opera
tons of this character give the mar
ket a hardening tendency and show
encouraging bedrock conditions. 1t
is quite possible that the market may
receive temporary setbacks, and it is
realized that the poor condition of
business must affect investment con
ditiOns. Nevertheless good securities
bought with discretion at present lev.
els will undoubtedly yield good profits
beginning to discount trade recovery
although the latter may be deferred
until liquidation is more complete.

A SHOPPING WEEK
HELD IN ENGLAND
American News Servicel

London. March 81 "All-British
shopping week" was ushered in today
as the elimination of a widespread
movement to induce the English con-
sumner TO buy Erglish-made goods in
increasing quantities. The movement
is aimed especially at German compe-
tition which in the past few years has
seriously threatened the prosperity of
the English manufacturers. Leading
shopkeepers of London and of all the
larger provincial cities have agreed
that for an entire week they will dis
play only Britishmade goods in their
windows and on their counters.
