There are many other important
subjects which the mothers of this

principals, grade mothers or social

better nourishment for all children

our attention now: By better nourish-

or do not take sufficient time to eat

SACRED SPORT IN ENGLAND
Farmer Who Broke Up Hunting MeeS
Punished by the Master Of
the Hounds.

The unusual incident of master Of
bounds thrashing horseman in the
hunting field was witnessed near Sails
bury, England, recently.
There was meet of the Tedworth
hounds at Abbotts Ann, and the fine
weather attracted about fifty riders. A
fox was drawn In Stonehanger wood,
but of scent there was none, and the
fox made good his escape. A little la
ter, without there being any sign of a
fox. some half dozen of the hounds
picked up line in the open which
the master at once recognized as a
drag, there being a strong smell Of
aniseed. IN
The pack went off at lightn' I, speed
on this false trail, and the master al
lowed them to continue the run in the
hope of overhaulng the layer of the
drag. Near Grately the master saw
horseman, and putting his horse to
gallop soon overlook him. He proved
to be a well known local farmer The
outcome of the meeting was that the
master, Oswald Riley, administered
sound thrashing to the farmer with his
hunting crop. His action, says local
correspondent. was witnessed by the
tield of huntsmen ana was warmly ap-
proved by them.

BELIEVE PIEcEwoRK IS BEST
Employers Of Labor Bring Strong Ar.
guments to Bear in Favor. Of
That System.

The point is often made that the
trade union with its day-rate mini
mum assumes that all OF it's crafts
men are equally efficient and that
they should be paid accordingly Em-
ployers are not likely 10 admit this al
legatic q. but sometimes they act as IL
they also believed In a dead level
among workmen.
The president OF a large electrical
railway system is consistently opposed
to piecewofk or premium systems, not
because of any fear Of labor troubles
or the special conditions of electric
railway maintenance, but simply on
the assumption that no shopman can
possibly be worth more than $s to
$3.50 day. The shop superintendent
of this railway has been able to
strengthen his argument for a piece
work system by making a careful study
OF practices in other shops, and he
has determined that a large increase
in the production OF some jobs could
be brought about by some form Of pre-
MUM system. In fact, he has calcu-
lated that the abolition of the day
rate would produce net saving of
about twenty per cent. In labor cost.
He Is also convinced that the piece
work system would actually result in
better workmanship because the pres
ent day rates are too low to appeal to
good shopmen.
This has been the result ON most
roads where the piecework system has
been introduced. But it seems to take
a long time to overcome the prejudice
against workman earning more than
the ordinary wages of his craft even
when his production is corresponding
ly greater. After all. the prime con-
cern Of an economical management
as related to shop accounts should not
be the wages Of individuals but the
total cost Of maintenance per car mile.
