THE HUMAN FACTOR.

Organized labor believes that
true scientific management is
that which reduces the cost of
production by eliminating use
less labor, which improves the
facilities for doing work by sur
rounding the workmen with
good light, pure air, sanitary
conditions and safeguarding ma
: chinery. 1t is system of man
agement under which care will
: be taken to prevent workmen
from oyerstrain as we'll as to
provide that their output shall
reach an adequate standard and
which will afford ample oppor
tunity for the fullest develop
: ment of mechanical and manual
. skill on the part of all work
. men. 1t is system under
. which terms and conditions of
. employment will be governed
: by agreements entered into by
!. employers and their workmen
as collective body. And, final
. ly, it is form of management
! which will never allow quality
|. to be sacrificed for quantity nor
! men. women and children to be
!. classified with machines The
] equity right of human flesh and
!. blood must be recognized by
!. any system that would endure.

GOOD RESULT OF SUGGESTION
Chance Phrases and Ideas That Have
Been Utilized and Found to
Have Real Value.

Richard Mansfield told me that
when he was lad in London he often
nearly starved. There was a certain
bakeshop where he would 60 and feast
upon the odors coming from the door
The boyhood notion gave him the idea
Of putting those lines in his play,
Bean Brummel," about dining on
the names Of things"-a suggestion
be used with powerful dramatic eff,
feet.
This idea of suggestion has done
many good deed. About ninety
years ago a thirsty man walked up
Wall street, understand the habit Of
getting thirst no longer prevails
there, or maybe it Is only the manner
of allaying it-and pumped a lineup
full of water from his own we'll mot

REDUCTIONS ORDERED IN EXPRESS RATES

Before October IS, 1918,

Observation-Disclosures in express
rates which will cost the companies
fully $26,OO0,OO0 year, approximate.
ly 10 per cent of their gross reye.
nue., were ordered by the interstate
commerce commission Monday, to be-
come effective on or before October
Is, 1913. Notable reforms in practice
also were ordered. The commission
also made public q lengthy report
analyzing the express business, its
railroad connection and the ramifica-
tons of the parcel post.
AS to the parcel post and its effect
on the express companies, the report
says:
With regard to the small package
business Of the parcel post, it should
be noted that it will be carried on the
railroads Of the country. So far as
the rail carriers are concerned, it is
OF no consequence to them whether
they furnish rail transportation for the
express respondents herein or for the
postoffice department. The express
companies, moreover, will not expert.
ence a gross loss of their earnings
upon these small parcels, but only Of
the net deficiencies between their
earnings heretofore and the cost to
them of furnishing terminal service
upon these parcels. The commissions
conclusion Is that the establishment
OF the parcel post is not a justifica-
ton for any higher scale of rates than
the one here shown to be reasonable.
THE commissions order Is for two
years only. That period will give
abundant opportunity to test these
rates and varying conditions amount
ing to normal average. In no other
way can the absolutely proper rate
basis for respondents be finally deter.
mined. Respondents are also at lib.
erty at any time to bring forward
new facts as basis for petition for
modification Of this or any other or.
der"
The decision Of the commission, de-
ferred as 1t has been for more than a
year, followed an investigation that
occupied nearly six years Of hearings
special examinations Of accounts and
reports covering In detail the various
details of the express business. Near
ly carload of books and papers have
been filed and are part Of the pro
ceedings in this case.

Youthful Artist, However, Was in No

Two youthful artists having studio

to make shift, not long ago, during a

HIRED MAN KNEW THE GAME
His Dexterity on First Base Surprised
the Youngsters Until They Learn
ed More of His Career.

In the American Magazine Hugh S.
Fullerton writes an article entitled
"The Making of a Big Lacquer" 1t is
the story of one Of the greatest ball
players in the United States as told
by himself to Mr.. Fullerton. This
player was a country boy and, Of
course began to play the game early
He tells the following story about an
incident of his boyhood:
Father had hired man named
Ned, tall, quiet fellow with pair Of
blue eyes that seemed always about
to laugh, but seldom did. He had been
with US a year. He got drunk peri
odically. and after each spree father
hunted him up and brought him back
to work. We asked him to play with
US, and he laughed and said he reck-
oned he would try to play first base II
paw would let him off. | fixed it with
father, and Ned played first barehand-
ed making catches and stops that
filled us with establishment. Also he
made FIVE home runs, two into the
railroad pond and three into the barn
lot back Of left field. Walking home
that evening he told me he had played
ball professionally, yet it was not until
two years later that learned he once
had been a famous outfielder with a
great team"

DIVERSITY CROPS AND KILL BOIL WEEvl
Opinion Given by Experts of Depart.
partment of Agriculture at Confer.
ence-Practics Fall Flowing.

Washington.-Diversify crops, plant
hogs and clover, rush the cotton SO
as to get the biggest part of crop in
ahead of the boil weevil, burn the
stubble and practice fall blowing.
That Is what the department of az.
riculture experts told the senators
and representatives from the cotton
states at the second boil weeyil con-
ference at the department of agricul-
ture Monday. The conference was
held to ascertain the views Of the
department on the proposal by Senator
z. D. Smith of South Carolina to
create a five-mile zone on the edge
Of the boil weevil territory in which
no cotton shall be planted for num-
Der of years. The experts gave it as
their opinion that such zone would
hem in the weevil and prevent a
spread to new territory, but it would
tie up 100000 acres that might grow
cotton and cause an annual loss OF
$1O5 100000 to the cotton crop each
year.
The great trouble with this plan, it
was pointed out is that all farmers
can not be kept from planting cotton
In the prescribed zone, and therefore
the scheme would fail. On the other
hand, agents showed the great work
of diversification already in progress
In the South. One agent showed that
in 1910 there were eleven head of
hogs to each farm in Louisiana and
that the number is steadily increas-
ing. An agent from Alabama told
how the Alabama farmers have gone
in for clover, showing that 1,100 farm
ers have planted clover this year.
