COLUMBUS IN STATUARY

Gated on November 8, 1862, although
the foundation had been laid as far
back as 1916. The inscription it bears
is: ITO Christopher Columbus, the
Fatherland." Spain, which country
failed the Genoese during his life
time, has been more generous to his
memory, and here are many shafts
raised to record the greatness of his
deed
Perhaps the nOblest monument yet
erected to the memory of Columbus
is that which stands in Barcelona. 1t
was in this city that King Ferdinand
and his consort, Isabella, received
the admiral on the return from his
first voyage. 1t is most appropriate
situation. Much care was taken in
the selection of the design of the
Barcelona monument, and the result
is artistic in every sense of the
word.
In the new world nearly every
country has testified in recognition
of the deed of Columbus by the cree
ton of some character of monument.
From the magnificent effigy which
graces the center of Columbus circle
in New York to the simple shaft

Efficiency the One Great Thing
the Worker Should Seek
to Attain.
SOUGHT BY BIG BUSINESS
Necessity for Efficient Methods and
the Saving of Money In Every
Way Is More and More Com
ing to Be Realized by
Employees.

THE fact that 1000 Of the leading
business and professional men OF
the United States have formed a
society for the promotion OF ELL
cheney in business is the best pos
sible evidence OF the value OF con-
serving the time, energy and re-
sources of both employees and en-
ployers," declared Bion ]. Arnold
of Chicago, who was chosen as one
of the directors of the new orgam-
cation recently in New York.
THE big business interests are
coming more and more to realize the
necessity for efficient methods, and
they are saving money in every con-
ceivable way. Not only that, but
they are safeguarding the health
and strength of employees and are
arranging their work so that 1t Is
accomplished with a minimum or ell
fort. One of the most beneficial re-
suits of the efficiency movement.
viewed from the standpoint OF the
worker, is the better sanitary ar
rangements and more comfortable
quarters that are being provided.
Employers are beginning to realize
that healthy workers can do more
and better work In clean, comfort
able buildings than they can when
conditions are just the opposite.
THE person who has an idea that
the big corporations are wasting
money these days is mistaken. On
the contrary, every penny is being
watched as carefully as If it were
dollar.
Il recently read an article which
contained the best definition of eff
cheney | ever heard. 1t is to the ef-
feet that efficiency aims to make the
work easy by doing away with all
obstacles to good work. 1t is eff
cient to have a shop sanitary, be-
cause healthy employees can work
better and their benches are not idle.
1t is efficient to provide machinery
with safety guards, because law
suits are expensive, as is also the
training of new men to take the place
Of disabled employees. True Ell
cheney is more Interested in the well
fare of the human machine than in
any other part of the workings of a
plant.
Efficiency is one of the two ways
of permanently increasing wages. The
only other way is by raising the cost
to the consumer. Harrington Emer-
son, an efficiency expert, declares
that the efficiency of men taken as
a whole is less than five per cent.
that in the aggregate only 60 per
cent. of materials are efficiently uti-
lized, and that the efficiency of equip
ment is less than 80 per cent. He
says that the truth of his statements
can as readily be verified as can an
assayer duplicate the assay of an ore
sample.
IF that Is true, then surely there
is an urgent need for efficiency In ev-
cry line of business. And the best
part of efficiency is that the more 1t

Us. that there is no need here to re-
count the many injustices which he
suffered at the hands of his contem-
poraries. The salient fact that he
was shorn OF his honors and returned
laden with chains, proves conclusive
ly the cruel contempt with which the
fearless navigator was treated in his
own day. Time rectifies many mis-
Judgments, and 1t has done so in the
case OF the discoverer of America
The wonder of his achievement is
universally recognized and the worlds,
both old and new, have testified in
many monuments to the respect and
honor in which they hold Columbus.
The custom of preparing effigies in
stone, so that the names and achieve
ments of nations heroes may be
passed on to posterity, finds its or
igln in most ancient times 1t is but
natural that this custom should have
been followed In the case of Column
bus. Today we find statues erected
to the discoverer in Italy, Spain and
France, and in nearly all of the
countries of the new world.
At Genoa, which city claims the
honor of being the birthplace of Co
lumbus, there has been erected very
magnificent statue, which overlooks
the bay. It was completed and dedi-

the first discoverer. It is said to be
the original monument erected on
this continent to commemorate the
achievement of Columbus.
1t is unfortunate that there is no
contemporaneous painting or likeness
of Columbus extant. For this reason
artists who have attempted to repro
duce his Iineaments in marble have
been at a great disadvantage.
AS a matter of fact the accepted
likeness of the admiral is after the
manner of being an idealistic con-
ception. All are familiar with the
strong, clean-shaven face from which
deep, expressive eyes look out under
a broad brow. The deep lines from
the nose to the corners of the mouth
are also characteristic of the popular
portraits of Columbus. Who would
recognize the discoverer depicted
with a gray beard? Yet it is more
than probable that he wore one
when he planted the banner of
Spain on the shores of the New
World
The few descriptions Of the person
al appearance of the admiral which
we have from those who knew him
well tell us ''he was man of sturdy
stature, rather above the average
height, of a very ruddy complexion,
with freckles and red hair when he
was young. The latter soon turned
white, which was also the color of
his beard" Boards were the fashion
of his day in Spain, and it is easy to

clean shaven in effigy. So 1t Is with
the new Columbus statue unveiled in
Washington on June s. This marks
the first great memorial which the
United States government has erect
ed to Christopher Columbus.
There has long been feeling that
this country has not had a really
worthy monument to the man who is
primarily responsible for the exist
ence of the nation.
The feeling took concrete shape
when, in 1906, Representative James
A. Goulden of New York introduced
a bill approprlating the sum of $780,
600 to be used for a Columbus memo
rial Congress passed the bill and 1t
was signed in 1907 by President
Roosevelt.
The design is a combination of
fountain. shaft and statue.
The fountain is semi-circular, 70
feet wide and 65 feet from front to
rear. The balustrade which half en-
circles it bears the efigy of heroic
lion at either extremity. The salient
feature of the memorial is a splen-
did stone shaft surmounted by a
globe. Before this shaft, which rises
in the center of the fountain circle,
is a statue of Columbus.
The globe which surmounts the
shaft indicates the contribution the
discovery of Columbus was to the
science of geography. This globe
is supported by four massive eagles

True Animal Story That Can Be
Applied to Men and Women
and Fit Like Glove.

It is hard to convince rich. idle peo-
bic that it would be well for them II
they had to work. Here is true
story that If taken az parable may
attract their attention. 1t is par
able only in that it relates to one OF
what we call the lower animals. but 1t
can be applied to men and women SO
as to fit their case like glove.
The animal was the Gland in Cen
trail Park, New York. When he was
brought into the open Enclosure this
year he was in the position of the
idle rich among mankind. He had
nothing to do but eat and sleep ana
play. He became bored, declined IN
health, almost ceased to eat. Then
the keeper, who seems to be wise
man, decided that life was too easy
for him. His wisdom being practical
he began by hiding the Glands food
under a box and weighing the box
down so that it took strength ana
some intelligence to move it. At first
the Gland did not care. but presently

MEANS BETTER PAY

IS practiced the more it will benefit
competing firms. For instance, a
New Jersey silk manufacturer has a
plant which is said to be a model of
efficiency AS a result. his cost OF
production is phenomenally low. In
stead Of keeping his methods secret.
he invites others in the same line
to visit his factory and learn his sys-
tenn. In explanation of his attitude
he says he can sell as low as anyone
can and pay a profit, and that the bet
ter business methods his competitors
use the more stable will the silk
business become
Efficiency methods can be used
just as effectively in a small bust
ness as in a large one The prin-
ciple Is the same in all 1t is saving
in the small things that counts most,
both as regards time. materials and
labor. No business can hope to sue
coed in these days of strong compe-
tition unless it is operated on a sys-
tematic plan"

MODESTY WINS IN BUSINESS
Gentle Manner and Winning Voice Al
ways Win Friends, Especially in
Commercial World.

Successful business men value their
time often more than the best line of
goods you can give them. If you beat
about the bush to a tactful man he
will show his Impotence by scowling,
and if you do the same thing to can
did man he will exclaim, We'll, what
can l do for you?"
Coming to the point does not mean
aggressiveness. Modesty wins even
in business. 1t is especially valuable
in combating an aggressive nature A

business as we'll as in electricity. A
