WASTE OF SUPPLIES.
A Business Problem and tho Way Ono
Factory Solved II.

Factory SoiNoo ".
In one manufacturing plant the su-
perlntendent found that his men were
careless with supplies. He decided
that too much material was kept on
hand in the shop. Mechanics found IL
an easier matter to throw away slight
iy damaged or spoiled work and begin
on new piece than to take precau'
tions In turning out their work. re-
marks writer in Business He there
fore devised stores order which made
every foreman responsibleaforr raw ma,
terial issued to his department. New
material could not be had from the
general store except on requisition. and
the general store would honor no reQui-
sition unless it was U. KID by the fore
man. These lists were kept on Gle and
totaled ut the end OF each month to en-
able the superintendent TO make com.
parisons
This put the foreman on his guard
not to I'LL out requisitiOn for some
thing which he did not absolutely need,
and the frst six months after adopting
this rule expenses In one department
alone were cut nearly 20 percent with
out sacrificing efficiency. The foreman
also claimed that it had tendency to
develop his men into more skilled me-
chanics because they were under the
necessity OF accounting for the work
they spoiled In machining.

BRITISH
WILL NOT APPEAL.
Delay Taken as Indication That
Free Toll Arbitration Will
Be Abandoned.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-In diplo-
matte circles here 1t is believed that
the delay by Great Britain in asking
for arbitration of the free tolls sec
ton of the Panama canal act, is an
indication that the London foreign
office eventually will abandon that
plan.
II has been stated that the foreign
office was withholding formal action
pending a careful study of the act.
1t is believed that when the British
government comes to understand that
the free toll provision of the act ap-
plies only to American coastwiss
trade. in which British shipping car
not participate in any event, the rea-
son for an appeal for arbitration will
disappear.
1t has been suggested that the pre-
liminary steps taken by the foreign
office to safeguard British rights
through the canal, by the two notes
presented by Charge Innes. will be
regarded as sufficient after all, as
tending to deter Congress from any
further effort to extend the free toll
provision to foreign commerce, in
which, of course, Great Britain ia
vitally interested,

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 4.-Addi-
tional rain-storms are adding to
the toll of the cloudburst and
storm that swept over the Panhandle
district of Pennsylvania, West Nir-
sinia and Ohio Sunday, with loss,
It is reported today, of at least fifty
lives and a damage in property that
will exceed $5,000,000. Reports slowly
coming In from the affected districts
show that the death list is greater
md the damage more severe than
frst reported. Even the number of
deaths already reported may be
greatly increased when small towns,
at present cut off from communica-
ton, are heard from.
At Washington another. storm broke
twenty four hours ago, causing one
death and doing great damage to
property. 1t wrecked three bridges
that had been weakened by the
oloudburst and undermined many
houses. The water is three feet deep
in the streets. Gas mains were brok-
en- and the city left in darkness.
Wires went down and rail communi-
cation was impossible.
At East Finley lightning struck a
school building in which children were
at study. The hagpole was shattered,
holes torn in the roof and part of the
flooring splintered. The children ran
in panic to the street, but no one
was injured.
Collier appears to have been OBJ
liberated. Most of the houses are
down, complete wrecks, while the
others in most cases are damaged be-
yond repair. Thousan nds are home
