Less Time. More Work.

A very large printing plant doing
practically every line Of printing, de-
cided several years ago to change from
a ten-hour day to one of eight hours
AS competition in most of their work
was very keen, the change could not
be made unless costs could at least
be kept from increasing. The situation
was studied for many months, and as
leaks and wastes were found, meas
ures to stop them were put in effect.
problems of power, light, heat, humid
ity, handling of materials, ETC., were
studied and conditions improved. Ade-
Quate methods of planning and dis
patching the work were installed, with
the result that delivery dates were
met and idleness in the plant reduced
to a minimum. Finally, the eight-hour
day was inaugurated amid great re-
joicing on the part of the employees.
In fact, the good feeling engendered
was so deep rooted that it is still very
much alive in the plant. The COM
pany also has every reason to re-
joice, as costs were materially re-
duced and profits were increased.
This is shown by the fact that the
stock has greatly increased in price
due to the higher dividends paid

Good Company.
MOUTH ORGANS COME FRS
War, Is the Opinion of Tom
my Atkins.

Although his clothing was like
hardened mud casing, his rife and
bayonet rusty! his ammunition clips
gritty with the dirt, one article of his
equipment Tommy kept dry and clean
and shining-his mouth organ. A
broken rifle was of no concern-anoth-
er was easily obtainable; but ruined
mouth organ was nothing short of a
calamity.
In England I regarded these little
instruments with contempt In France,
I learned to value them at their true
worth. AS for Tommy, he has often
remarked that high explosives and
machine guns and plenty of ammuni-
ton are highly important, but mouth
organs is wot's go'n' to win the wal" :"
They were our one solace and de-
light. l can say in all seriousness that
they saved many man from losing
his grip upon himself during moments
when the strain Of sitting" tight was
almost nbearable.-James N. Hall in

Masking the Guns.

Against aircraft observation one of
the first precautions taken is to splash
guns, limbers, and amnsunition wag-
ons with different neutral tints, so that
they will blend with the ground about
them. Any earthworks, pits, ETC., that
are erected or dug are strewn with
leaves and branches, and the earth dis
turbed generally, so that from above
nothing unusual shall be spotted by
keen-eyed airmen.
A battery of guns is seldom placed
along the skyline, for there it is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the in
cline in front of the skyline, unless the
guns are howitzers, in which case they
can be best served from behind the
ridge. The idea of placing the guns
in front of the ridge is that the rising
ground behind them serves as an eff
fectiVe screen, as the guns themselves
are painted to represent earth and TO-
liage

BY WILLIAM A. RApEoRp.

The colonial type of house has re-
tanned its popularity for many years
and is still used to a large extent in
all parts of the country. Even the
bungalow is made 80 as to include GER
tain features that are colonial in ap-
pearance. There are certain impress
sions that are created by a colonial
house that are hard to get with any
other form of construction.
The colonial house always has dig
nihed appearance. Il never seems
like the ordinary run of houses, but al
ways seems to stand by itself Along
with this, however, there is a warmth
and an impression of comfort. The
idea of home is carried by the colo
nial design along with its dignity.
The accompanying illustration
shows bungalow that is built in colo
nial style, and it certainly has an at
tractive but dignified appearance. The
fact that the bungalow type can be
adapted to this style of architecture
shows the adaptability of bungalows.
When you consider that many of them

ture.'
To retain the bungalow appearance
In the colder climates. It is necessary
to make several changes in both the
lot on which the bungalow stands and
also in the house itself.
Cellars are needed in the cooler eli
mates and these must be provided
without giving the appearance of rails
ing the house In any way. The bunga-
low looks best when It is close to the
ground. 30 the hot should be graded
toward the front so as to bring the
front entrance Just a little above the
ground. In the back Of the house and
along the sides it is not necessary to
have the lot graded so high, and the
windows for lighting the basement
can be placed at these places. This is
the method most commonly used for
getting the bungalow effect in colder
climates.
The basement that ia provided must
be- OF a depth sufficient to accommo-
date modern heating plant. A COM
plete hot-air heating plant will require
about Z feet s inches headroom in the
basement. In bungalow construction
this generally means a rather deep
excavation, because the building is
never built very far above the ground
Other types OF heating plants require
slightly less headroom than the hot-air
system.
In keeping with the tendency in
modern homes, the living room in this
design is made quite large and com
Portable and a fireplace Of good size is
provided The living room is connect
ed to the dining room and the bach

Traveller in the Balkans Tells of Won
derful Strains That Affected
Both Man and Horse.

People will tell you in the Balkans
that a gypsy camp is to be avoided;
yet I used to hail them with pleasure
They added to the wildness and saw
agery of the nature about us. One
day, several miles from Uskup, our
horses raised their heads and listened
to something we could not hear At
first we thought they were smelling
human blood; but we came to the
conclusion that something different
caused their interest, since no tremors
OF fear were passing through them
Refining them in, we listened, but,
hearing nothing, started to ride on.
After while sound like faint
moaning of torrent came to US. The
effect On our horses was very pecu-
liar; they seemed to have forgotten
their fatigue, and were siding along
in way that made me nervous
Finally we made out that it was
weird strains OF music that reached US.
We are nearing gypsy camp
my brother said with relief. Some
one is playing with more fire than
usual"
Within sight of the camp, the music
came to US in it's full beauty or its
full horror, do not know which
Since then l have heard many great
masters play; but such music as that
l have never heard. 1t was heavenly;
| it was hellish Our horses were as
much affected as We; they pranced as
! if they were steeds of great mettle,
instead Of poor, scrawny Balkan
j ponies. AS for me, began to dream
! Of things unheard, unknown, only
dreamable.
Sitting on wagon, youth was
hanging over his violin, playing
| playing like mad. Presently, with
out interrupting his music, he sprang
from the wagon and paced back and
forth, still playing torrentially. We
sat fascinated both by the player and
his playing, trying all the time to quiet
our horses
Vat last the music seemed spent
the boy let his violin fall to the
ground, where he, too, threw himself
