can do as much for society as the steam engine did when it came into general use
 But there's where the rub comes, Efficiency win save hundreds of millions dollars a year; it win add billions to the wealth Of society but who is to get that Increased wealth?
 "The increase in the repdity of wealth pro ducton that cane With the steam engine was nearly all appropriated by the capitalists. It different this time This gain be shared equtaby with the workmen.
 And the workmen are going to fight efficiency n stncvey because they win feel that there is no real gain in it for them; that multiplication of their employers wealth and their own enslayement The problem is first to persuade worllme to cooperate in introducing efficiency methods second to mako sure that they get their proper share of tue added profits"
 Subsequent history has proved that Mr. Brandeis's suspicious are we'll founded The aborng classes have fought efficiency. They are still fighting it. And comes Ida M. Tarben. the famous historian of stan dard on and industrial observer for quarter of a century who has given years to the study Of the new efficiency. and renders this verdict:
 "ln the scientific management system the workman has ally that he has yet sensed All of us ob- ioct to breaking with what have been doing But wherever this system worked thoroughly and hon. estly-and there is great deal of fakng under the name of scientific managementit has brought shorter hours and better wages, and has proved means of Che development Of a he works.
 "one of the rightul complaints of labor is the aase o. getting into position and being able to get out The science of management creates new ways of get ting out

GETTING OUT OF THE LABOR RUT

"Thera is silent revolution going in American industry" said Ida M Tarbel at recent labor hear. ing. Tt is a of working Of the golden rule in business. On the side of management there is ing feeling that the common is worth much. The most important thing in the world is this common to give bim full opportunity and full justice is .he greatest work that can be done"
 And how can this common man best obtain full op portunity and full justice: Through scientific man agement" answers Miss Tarbell
 It is a daring thing say for it flies into the face of the union labor sentiment of the country. From labor has seemed to feel that this improvement which professed to have as one of chief purposes the bet tcmeut of the conditions of the workman was reality a scheme to betay them into the hands of capital making the employers profits larger and bia mastery more complete
 Louis D. Brandeis the peoples lawyer, in Bos ton just before he came out champion Of Che new efficiency declared his purpose devote tle of his life primarily to the efficiency propaganda.

The present prices of wheat may be legitimate, and they may not The public has a right to know whether they are determined by inexoabe laws of supply aud demand or by artificial manipulation of the market
 The public is naturally suspicious, for it has seen many corners" and paid tribute to them. though sell dom for long; corners have way of vanishing sud denly, leaving a few big spectators wealthy and many little ones impovershed-or vice cersa. Nobody has yet succeeded in getting hold a whole crop of whea, or anything else making the public pay tribute a of it Such an event would be crime demanding government action. and getting it.

Little Mrs. Efficient never worries

Really, she said. II don't know
whether I'm going to be able to stand
Emeline Mary's point of view or not.
"Ive known her since she was
baby, and she's a nice creature in very
many ways, but to hear her talk about
her mother makes my blood fairly boil"
Her mother?' / echoed wonderingly,
why, I thought she spoke very af-

Methuselah or old Aunt I,,Ny Mary Noah
Of course, she isn't efficient in the
modern way, and she's not crazy about
tennis or skating, or the new fox-trot
steps, but she's woman right in the
very prime of life-nOt a day over fifty.
How furious 1t must make her to be

my balance We talked of something else.

her hotel to dine with her-a woman's S

And the dining room was full OF tired,
worried women, some of them young.
but most of them at the trying age.
as they call 1t over in France. where
they are apt to call things by their right
name.
And they were all very intelligent, for
this particular woman's hotel is not by
any means cheap, and the independent
woman" who lives there must be able to
pay a pretty good price for it. But oh,
somehow, to me they looked so lone
some that 1t was all l could do to keep
from being sorry for them every minute.
And l hurried home early after din

daughter, who was for a little while far
and far away.
