How to Get Efficiency

Here Is some advice to the tired
business man. II you are not getting
efficiency from your typist don't can
her, but get some music. This will
Cpeed up tired typewriter performers.
The idea is suggested by the man
ager Of a business college. says the
New York correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. He claims that he
gets better work from his students
when he turns on the photograph and
it plays some lively foxtrot. And
now the crafty employers here are
thinking Of putting the suggestion In
action. The scheme is to turn loose
a lively record on a talking machine,
the lively strain offsetting the tired
strain under which the typewriter op-
orator is laboring The moment the
weary worker hears the tnyigorat1ng
sound she strikes her key on the type
writer, and then all of the keys. Some
body has observed that the modern
dances do not confine the action to
the feet. No, the shoulders, elbows
and arms all have chance to move.
Every step forward is welcomed by
progressive business men, 80 why not
one-steps?

MANUFACTURING SIN a,
Agitated Reformers Code of Morals
Sometimes Too Severe.

| .
Painting the horrors of many pleas
ant indulgences, such as smoking and
dancing, drinking and going to movie
shows, has been the occupation OF
many of our reformers for twenty or
thirty wears. We are pretty well awake
to the dangers which Turk for our I'M
questionable and suggestlble city
youth. We know the danger OF mas
querade balls, and all the degrading
evils of close dancing have been borne
in upon US. The pictures offered US
include descriptions Of weeping moth
ers and fathers speaking with tremul-
Gus voices. It is all agitating, and
we wipe out one sin factory after an
other.
But the question cannot help pre-
senting itself whether or not these
agitated defenders Of virtue are not
themselves in the business OF manu-
featuring sin.
An unfortunate pedagogue, whose
son is under arrest, attributes ms
downfall to the early use OF cigar
cites. Cigarettes more than any
single influence wreck the lives OF
boys, in his opinion. He has prob
ably opposed cigarettes all his life.
But was it not the prohibition
rather than the cigarettes themselves
that wrecked the life of his boy?
If society were to prohibit, Ito take
an extreme easel, any removal OF
headgear in public places, If society
came to regard such an act as I'M
moral and destructive through rem
dering the offender liable to colds IN
the head, would not the violators of
this rule of conduct be led to more
and more despicable things? By de-
nouncing the cigarette smoker and
classifying him with the backsliders
on the way to perdition, the simple
and pleasurable operation OF smok-
ing cigarette must be done in secret
the smoker is to a certain extent
an outlaw and ready for more dis
tinctly unsocial things.
Our evangelization of the liquor
problem has left us with the spec
tac1e of more prohibition and also
more drunkenness than France and
Germany. If any Roadway has been
made against these habits, we sus-
pect it is because they are inefficient,
not because they are morally degrad-
ing. For do not our reformers to
some extent manufacture sin and
make outcasts? Editorial from Chic
ago Tribune, Dec. 26, 1915.

There are many commodities which
have been exported from Japan for

the war. One of them is playing cards,
for which large orders have been
placed with Japanese makers. The to.

at a recent date to be in excess OF
S7,5OO,000. Most Of these cards have
been consigned to Europe, the greater
part to be used as gifts for soldiers,
while the remainder are put on the
