Wilson's Efficiency Measures

The prospective enactment of the
tariff commission bill. introduced by
Representative Rainey OF Illinois and
approved by the administration, will
supplement the business efficiency
program which has been inaugurated
by the federal trade commission.
The bill pending in congress pro-
vides for a commission of six mem
bers, no more than three Of whom
shall belong to the same political par
ty. Able and experienced business
men serving on this commission will
be able to perform a service broader
than the mere ascertainment of the
cost of production, and the differ
ence in wages at home and abroad.
By their own Investigations, or the
inquiries made abroad by their ex-
perts, they will be able to bring to
the United States the best of the Of
fciency practices In Europe. adding
these to the knowledge of American
manufacturers.
In addition to It's regulatory work,
the federal trade commission already
has placed at the disposal of Amer.
can business men the most modern
cost accounting system, increasing
the efficiency of thousands OF small
'er corporations. Replies made to a
recent questionnaire sent out by the
federal trade commission to 100000
mission by eight per cent of those ad-
dressed that they did not know what
it cost them to produce the articles
which they are manufacturing. They
based their prices, not on what 1t cost
them TO produce their goods, with a
fair margin OF profit, but upon the
prices fixed by their competitors.
Many of them admitted that they
We're transacting business at loss
If an American manufacturer IN
stalls the cost accounting system
placed at his disposal by the federal
trade commission, he soon learns
what 1t costs him to produce his
goods If he finds he is forced to sci
at "a loss, in order to meet the prices
of his competitors, he does not ther
have to shut up shop. Instead he
can quickly ascertain why 1t is tha
his manufacturing costs are higheI
than those of his competitor. by re

The service that the federal trad,
commission is rendering 10 American
business will be supplemented in
different, but equally effective, man
ner by the tariff commission Almos
unanimously the business men OF tn,
country have been demanding such
commission for the past score o
years President Wilson has givel
his approval to the Rainey bill. whicl
has now received the endorsement o

merce.

MISSING CASH REGISTER
 POUNDING CLUE HOWEVER

One of the bafaing police mysteries of Juneau has been partially solved when Martin Lynch discovered the cash register which had been carried away from the Montana saloon Christmas morning. under the pile driver back of the Geo. Forrest building on lower Front street. The police have been searching for the register and the men who took 1t since 1t disappeared on Christmas.
 The register was carried away from the Montana saloon between 1 and a. m. Christmas morning, be- tween the time the night bartender left and the arrival of the porter. The register contained about $50 in silver at the time and the miscreants lifted it over high board fence in the rear of the saloon and disap- peared with 1t.

The following article from the New York World is most interesting read ing at this time owing to the recent air raids
 PARIS. Jan. 22.-Thc new German air dreadnaughts, of the construction of which the French military author ities had been aware for months. ai- ready are in use.
 Last week a French pilot encount- cred one of these mammoth airships at an altitude of 5000 feet. He frank ly owned:
 "I had a miraculous escape due to prompt flight. cannot yet under stand how ] managed to escape from the terrific fire of it's machine guns
 He described 1t as "huge, monster making a terrific noise. much noisier than q Zeppelin"
 These German air dreadnaughts' as they are called. were being experi' mented with in the neighborhood Of the Lake of Constance in November The Germans valued SO highly the secret of their deslgn. construction and armament that the most stringent command (of which the French au- thorltles have copies) was issued for lbiddlng that until further orders any of these apparatuses should cross oy- CT the enemies lines" for fear that by falling into It's hands, carefully ! lkept and valued secret should be pre- maturely disclosed.
 Describes Huge Machine
 We kept the secret of the Boches' said a high official to me today be cause our espionage had not finished lis lob. But now that we know all that is of interest and importance 10 us. there is no more objection to its becoming known
 "The new German air dreadnaughl is fitted with total motor power Of 700 horse power in four motors, name llv: Two motors of 22O horse power each and two motors of 10 horse pow CT each. The speed attains no miles ser hour. They are ironclad and car -y for their main armament four ma chine guns. besides bomb throwers and sundry other offcnsive devices. The wlnes are ceventy-five feet in width and twenty-eight feet in depth The carrying capacity ls twenty-seyen man who of course may be replaced by their weight In munitions.
 "You see. this German bid for the supremacy of the aii does not take lns unawa-cs. These German monster airghips are the development of the ayion de chase (chase-giving airship) These are to police the air and to pro feet the. observation airships while thev are measuring and transmitting measurements for artillery fire. NO doubt these monster airshipa are powerful. and 1t is not my intention to underestimate their fighting val ue but l know that they will iail in at least two respects.
 French Speed Superior
 Every apparatus has what ls oaii' ed in aviation slang It's rooi-that is' that there is a height that 1t cannot exceed Now these new German ar ships have roof of e,OOo feet; and neither speed nor their mobility can compare with that of our machines IFghting increases above in measure one could almost say, that 1t decreas- es below on account of trench war
