A Fast Workman May Appear To Be
Working Slow.

In the Nav American Magazine Ida
/ NJ. Tsrbell. writing another article in
her business series entitled, THE Gold
en- Rule in Business" shows how. under
scientific management, workmen arc
taught to work efficiently. This does
not necessarily mean that they are
speeded up. In the following extract
taken from her article, Miss Tarbell
shows how speed is not necessarily an
indication of efficiency;
THAT the study OF the speed Of man
and machine is an element is of course
true. but right speed. like the right mo-
ton. the right height Of a chair or
frame. the right order OF operations.
the right tool. is decided scientifically,
and often that speed is slower. not fast
or. than the one 10 which the working
man or woman has been accustomed 20.
"Mr. James Duncan, president Of the
Granite Cutters International associa-
ton. told the federal industrial commits
sion recently. in discussing scientific
management. that IN his trade a man
with slow blow il considered more
efficient workman than the man who
strikes fast II j. the commonest OF
experience for those Who experiment
with themselves 10 find that the slow
er pace j. more productive than tho
last. Walkers. mountain climbers. soon
discover this. Scientific management
has proved Il again and again. More

experiment proves i is consistent with
the continuous fresh energy n workmen
- well a. other rcsults This cannot
~ done IN a dsy, a ueek. and often not
IN = wear: for the sound reason that the
right speed is iuierwoven with MANY
factors. at Of which must b. studied"

How u Is Done In Wartime In Deep
and Shallow Waters.
Cutting submarine cables In wartime

Briefly the method Is as follows: The
cruiser detailed for the work steams
slowly at right angles to the cable
route, dragging after her special kind

with shears attached, which grip and

grapnel Is connected with the cable

of strands Of steel and hemp interwov'
en-, and attached to which is an instru.
ment called dynamometer, that shows
when the cable is hooked.
BY steaming once or twice backward
and forward the cable can be cut In
two places at. say, half mile apart,
and the severed portion can then be
dragged away by another kind Of non
cutting grapnel and left lying on the
ocean bed at some distance away,
where II II, Of course, impossible to 10

laborious operation.
Such is the usual method adopted for
destroying an enemy's cable In com
paratively shallow seas. In the case
Of ocean cables submerged at great
depths, however, tie mode Of proceed
ure Is somewhat different.
A similar five pronged grapnel Is
used, but It Is nvncutting one and
simply grips the cable, holding it fast.
The fact that IL has been hooked Is.

IT WAS A TOUGH STEAK.
But the Restaurant Man Easily Fixed
u Whom the Kick Came.

But the Restaurant Man Easily Fixed
u Whom the Kick Came.
It happened In a downtown restau-
rant. A well dressed-as he always
must be to make good story-yeung
man ordered q steak. The waitress,
rather pretty-which qualification she
must possess In writing q story Of this
kind-nlled the order, and the young
man started In to devour the feast
which had been set before him.
The young man had no sooner start
cd In on the steak than he discovered
that he had kick coming, and as the
restaurant proprietor passed he stop
ped him by saying: II can't eat this
steak; entirely too tough. l wish you
would see that get better meats when
come In here"
TOO bad! That steak looks all right.
But let me get you another" And the
aforesaid proprietor took the steak, the
silverware which had been served with
It and departed. He soon returned
with steak which looked exactly like
the first one. The young man picked
up his knife and started at his second
order. "Finew he said as his knife
cut IL apart without the least effort.
The customer was pleased beyond
words, and that he enjoyed the steak
was evident, for he left only the plate.
AS the reporter passed out he met
the proprietor again, and this is what
was said:
That steak was all right. but the
girl made a mistake I'm not giving him
a sharper knife. All did was to put
the same steak on another plate and
bring him a sharp knife. You have no
idea what a difference a sharp knife
makes with a steak from a beef Of
questionable age" - Columbus DIS

WALKING FOR HEALTH.
The Psdonnstsr Habit 10 q Splendid 0ws
to Cultivate.


A famous New York doctor was call
ed upon some months ago by patient
who presented an appearance Of Ill
ness, but with whom he could find
nothing the matter. Questioning dis
closed the fact that he had not taken
regular physical exercise for years.
That's your trouble" remarked the
wise physician. "I1l write you a pre-
scriptlon." When he got outside the
office the patient opened the bit Of pa
per and read, Get a pedometer and
bring 1t back to me in three weeks
with the indicator pointing to 100
miles," When the patient returned at
the time mentioned the doctor, without
making an examination, told him he
need not come back any more. His
looks demonstrated the efficacy Of the
treatment. But he was counseled to
persevere In keeping the pedometer
busy and thereby save many a doc
tors fee.
There are imaginative patients, most
Of whose troubles may be traced to
the thermometer habit" They are
constantly taking their temperature.
and their feelings are regulated by
their discoveries. A splendid substi.
tute Is the "pedometer habit" Instead
of continually fussing to keep his tenn
perature below 100, for instance, the
possessor Of one Of these clever con.
trivances can try how long 1t takes to
send the pedometer above that figure.
Lots Of fun Is to be obtained from as
certaining distances between various
points by walking them. Incidentally
the liver gets good shaking up, the
lungs receive the fresh air for the lack
Of which they have been starving. and
the enthusiastic pedestrian feels a new
Joy Of living. 1t is not convenient for
all to play that most excellent OF pas
umes-golf. But the pedometer game
Is available to most, and It renders In
teresting what Is, after all, rather
monotonOus form OF exercise.-Pitts-
