many Of the offenders in this respect
have really thought of this In its true

The encroachments of unsightIy ad-
vertising have become SO serious in
some communities that The bill-boards
and receptacles for obtrusive posters
have been taxed to the extent OF ex-
termination. We do not advocate
radical measures as that. But
that the evils of such unsightIy ad-
vertising are OF such an injurious
character In many Instances as to
justify concerted action for their
abatement must be evident TO anyone
who has studied the subject. Why
put up fine business fronts only to
have them nullified by adjacent dis
graceful advertising schemes? Why
project parks and bOulcvards to have
them counterbalanced, by publicity de-
Vices fit only for the sium districts

is worth placing before community
is worth setting forth in clean and
rational way. A town filled with
snfde posters, great muslin store
fronts with flaming bankrupt sale,
notices, closing out bills and sensa-
tional temporary sigEs virtually pro-
claims itself ION the bum"
A great deal Of this misplaced adj
vertising Is done to escape the, en-
ployment OF legitimate newspaper
publicity. The press furnishes at once
the most effective as we'll as the most
dignified manner of reaching the COM
nunity with seasonable advertising.
To cover store windows with bills
when they should be filled with at
tractive goods is one of the sins Of the
short-sighted business man. In this

We naturally expect sFum advertis-
ing methods in the slum districts Of
large city. Many Of the users OF
that sort of publicity never employ
any other. They never go into the
newspapers and they cater to q class
or custom that no reputable business
man particularly cares for. In the
main streets of clean, enterprising
town or city, however, we have right
to look for ldiRerent advertising ideas.
At time when societies and indi-
vtduais are trying TO inculcate bet

when mountain sides and object sof
nature are protected by legislation
against the vandal hand OF the mutt

The following eemment on this I'M
portant mattersiS from the last Issue
of Winthrop Weekly" and is inter-
esting.
Men are applyinE the principle of
efficiency to the work sof factory mill,
shop and Office. Women need TO ap-
ply the same principle to the work
OF the home.
a mans definition OF efficiency is a
perfect product turned out in n mini
mum length OF time with a minimum
expenditure Of energy and money. We
women have been accustomed to think
that doing things in the hard way
was necessarily doing them in the
pest wey, etc, doing our duty in the
fullest sense OF the term. II the men
were to change work with. the women
who are the homemakers, for one
week, many labor saving method
and piece, Of apparatus would be in
troduced intoFthe home as a result
Just how the mems work would bene-
nt py the women's brain being brought
to bear upon 1t, 1t is not the purpose
OF this article TO set forth!
IL the principles OF efficiency can
ne successfully carried out in every
Kind OF shop. factory and business.
why can't they be carried out eoually
well in the homer Granted that the
workers in factories perform Just one
operation, and that the iiomekeeper
performs many each day, and that no
two of her tasks are alike, that the
homekeeper must be able to cook, to
make new garments and mend old
ones. to wash, to .iren. to care for chill
dren, to sweep and to dust, to answer
phone calls. TO entertain guests meet
ings, etc. Granted all this, and one
see that the need OF standardizing
the work OF the dome is greater than
that OF the factory because 30 many
different tasks do devo!ve upon one
person.
Business efficiency rasts upon
twelve principles:
i. 1fdeais j-sa
2. Common sense,
.. Competent .counse!
4. Standardized operations
o., Standardized conditions.
.. Standardized practice.
z. Dispatchlng.
s. Scheduling.
8. Reliable records.
IL. Fair deal.
10. Discipline.
~. Efficiency reward.
IL the gospel Of efficiency is to be
applied to hosehold management, then
the housekeeper must know what
she is running her home for. It is not
run for pecuniary profit: its expendl-
lures must not exceed the income and
the home must yield returns In terms
OF comfort, satisfaction, enjoyment,
growth, education and individual and
graup efficiency. The ideals which
govern the. homokeeper should be
clear IN her mind.

WHEELS
OF AUTO HANGING
OVER PAIL CLIFF
Machine With Five Passengers
Crashes through Fence and
Stops 0H EDGE Of Precipice .

Five people were close tosdeath Sat
urday night when the Gaick car of
Hung YeB OF WaikAne hurtled around
the hairpin bend near the top of the
Pail road and plunged through the
fence which hedges the highway be
fore 1t came to . halt with the front
wheels hanging over pricipice hun
dreds Of feet high.
Supervisor DaHiet Logan and a par
ty of his fellow lawmakers came up
on crowd sof men Sunday morning
at the scene of the accident working
hard to salvage the machine. After
much pulling and hauling the car v(ts
finally dragged up on the roadbed. and
put in shape for running again.
Evidently. the accident was caused
by some trouble with the steering
gear, as the steering apparatus was
the only part of the machine which
was badly damaged when it was found
the next morning. There Is little dan
ger of a car which is in good running
order working off the grade at this
point of the road, for the roadbed is
built almost as hollow as a motor.
cycle course for the purpose of keep
ing speeding machines from flying of
at tangent
What happened was probably that
the car came down the grade at fast
clip and that in twisting the gears to
swing the machine around the curve
they were disabled or stuck, and the
car kept on a straight course for the
cliff The driver probably had just !
time to throw of his power when the
car hit the fence. An entire section
of the fence was torn out but the
check was sufficient to counterbalance
the impetus of the car, and it came
to a standstill Just in time. Had it
rolled six feet further nothing could
have saved the Eve people in the ma.
chine from death.
