"The other day a public-spirited woman who

the way shop girls paid. She was shocked
by what I told her and she was almost insulted
when I said, IT'S all your fault She asked me
what meant. Then told her that the bargain

had been told that he took an interest in his
work that was more than personal, that related
itself to widespread conditions. He spoke with
perfect frankness and he showed sympathy that
ought perhaps not ito have surprised me. Ii
made me wonder if, among employers, there
were not good deal more kindly feeling than
they received credit for.
at seems to me-" said this employer, plung-
ing at once into the subject that most of our
trouble is due to envy"
Envy" l repeated. DO you mean that the
poor envy the richs"
He shook his head. Not exactly that kind
of envy l have in mind the envy that makes
people compete with one another in ways of liv-
ing and in display. Take the matter of dress,
for example. If we were all content to dress
simply and to wear our clothes as long as they
kept whole and clean we should be relieved of a
great burden But we are obsessed by the de-
sire to live up to an absurd standard of appear
ance. We keep changing when there is no need
of changing Those of US who poor are try
ing to initiate those of us who are rich.
l wondered if there were not good deal of
truth in those remarks. l also wondered if they
did not apply with special force to this country
where the assumption of equality, in itself per-
fectly good thing, leads to a foolish attempt to
create the appearance of equality in worldly sue
cess by means of clothes. In most of the Euro
pean countries for instance, the poorer people
would not think of trying to dress like the rich.
Our talk turned to the subject of the effect
of competition in dress on competition in bust
ness. at simply leads to squeezing process
said the employer. $50 great is the demand for
those things that help people keep up appear
ances that there is keen rivalry among those
who supply the demand. Consequently, we re-
duce prices to minimum. AS matter of fact,
in order to attract customers, all sell certain
articles below cost And what do you suppose
is the result of this low selling?"
Low wages" I replied
"Of course. Just as we reduce our prices as
low forced to reduce wages"
Now reaching flesh and blood We
finding that dollars and human beings
were closely united, perhaps and the same.
Every Saturday night l look forward to with
dread. It's the time when 1 have to discharge
employees. If you could only see some of them

of the girls will burst out crying and say: What

only know that l can't keep her. I am the
victim of conditions, too. In my millinery de-
partment l employ girls for three months in the
year. They really busy for only two months.
At the end of the third month, I have to let
them go. How they get along for the rest of the
year I simply don't know. l only know that I
can't possibly keep them any longer.

Industries, employing thousands of
men, have equipped establishments
for routine examination OF employees
and for the treatment of injured
workmen which equal in scope and

Employers have found that the
careful selection OF men for indtvid-

There are various ways in which
the physician may be of service to
large industrial institutions. Aside
from looking after the health Of in
diyidual employees, he may search out
the various conditions which affect
adversely the health and comfort Of
all the workmen. He may aid in Sc
curing proper ventilation and light
ing. Through lectures and individual
instruction, the workmen may be in
formed concerning healthful habits
to be employed at home and in the
ghop. A limited number of intelli-
gent employees may be instructed in

time of emergencies, to be OF service

Origin of the Hurdy-Gurdy

THE early type OF hurdy.gurdy
originated in Germany during
the ninth century, and under
the name of bauren.leyer peasants
lyre0 attained great popularity
throughout Europe, falling into a
decline only at the beginning of the
last century. Even today slightly
modernized type Of this instrument
may be seen upon the streets Of the
smaller towns of Savoy.
The instrument consisted of VIC
Unlike frame and sounding board,
provided with from three to six
strings. The music was produced by
a small crank-actuated wooden
wheel. whose roslned edge bore
against the strings. The two outer
strings were keyed in unison, and
when the wheel was revolved gave
forth a bass note which served as
background. The remaining
strings were attached to keys, By
means of which their tension AMI
their tone might be varied. Thl
adjustment was the only control poi
sessed by the player.
Needless to say, the hurdy.gurd
was suited only to the most elemeI
tary of selections. While original
much used at fetes and celebration
It later was used only by itlneraD
street musicians, a position now OF
cupied by its sucCessor-the hand
organ. This hurdy.gurdy bears Il
date Of 1853.
