INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY

The squabble in England as to whether the British workman doing his best the war intuition factories brings up the question of relative industrial eff eieney in England and America
 An American efficiency expert" went to EnglanJ not long to improve the manufacturing methods Of an automobile factory in London found the factory employing 257 men and turning of four auto mobile bodies week He did what he could in the wa of introducing American methods of work and soon wa producing bodies week with the working force reduced to l5o mena gain 200 per cent in eciency
 But the fault he explains isn't all chargeable to the men, by any means. although they habituay let the poorest workmen set the pace for the rest It's largely bad shop management and bad business policy That English factory almost without machinery Nearly all the of the automobile bodies were hammered out by hand The American manufacturer will spend hundreds of thousands dollars before he is ready to begin making cars in obtaining the most modern labor saving equipment He will pay of thousands of do, lars for machine intended to make one small part of automobile and then that machine will stamp out the desired piece of more perfectly than any man could make it. faster than men The English fac tory owner loses because he will buy machinery Anc he loses because such machinery costs toe much to operate The expert found that for one par tcuar automatic machine English factories uniformly supplied one to each machine whereas in American factories one man attended a dozen machines
 The difference shows clearly in the relative output of two typical automobile factoriesthe Bedford factory in London, already referred the Monroe Body Co., in Pontiac, Mich In the former with unaduerated Eng fish methods, 257 men turned four bodies week; in the latter 400 turned TO to 2SO bodies a week. as good as the English product better.
 It is this difference of method and men that has given our country the worlds market for automobiles and farm machinery and many other products. And has good deal to do with the fact that United States now selling large quantities of war munitions to Eng land Our factories with their good machinery and adap table workmen, take up totally line such as shells for armored motor cars, and turn out at less better product than foreign factories long accustomed to such work

 The dance is to be held On Thurs day night, at the Chatanika social hall. It was originally intended to hold it Wednesday evening, but it was seen that it would interfere with the big Eagle dance here, and the plans were therefore changed

turkey gobbler Is strutting and showing off all of his plumage. the only difference in the appear ance of hen and gobbler is the whiskers of the male bird; the small tuft of long hair growing out on it's breast.
 Suddenly one of the men had a happy thought. Here is where fix up this deal" was all he said to his partner, and dashing sud denly into the flock of turkeys, he caught one of the small gobblers He then proceeded to pull out it's whiskers. and, catching the cue" the other partner started to work. It was therefore not long until en- closed in separate pen with the fine big gobbler were five. what appeared to be, nice looking turkey hens.
 And that is how it happened that the lady purchaser of the fowls failed to raise any turkeys that summer after she had such a good start. She was nothing out on tho deal. however. for she sold the tur keys that fall for more than she paid for them. But she never did know that she had been "jobbed. ,
