To enable migratory fish to pass such barriers as waterfalls and dams when ascending a river to spawn, the Canadian commissioner of fisheries has developed an elevator which is apparently practi- cable.

RAILWAY WAGE SITUATION.


 While there does not appear to be at present very much public interest in the issue between the railway employees and the owners or managers of the railway system, nevertheless there are many in- dications that there is very strong un- dercurrent of feeling which may here after develop into an overwhelming ex- iression of public opihicn In the iinan- cial district, there appears to be view that some of the railroad employees. are justified in asking increases. On the other hand the feeling seems to be general that possibly the railway engineers are overreaching themselves "
 The letter which was written by Presi- dent F. D. Underwood of the Erie to, one of the railroad engineers is spoken of as very significant because it puts into few words the position so far as the railway managers are concerned. MT. Under wood says they will not stand for the proposition, and he is sure that the public will not tolerate it.

THIS COUNTRY SOON

People Should Realize Thrift
at Home Is Necessary.

One hundred years ago the first saw
ings bank In the United States was es-
tablished. The advent of this institu-
ton came with the era of commercial
and industrial expansion. 1t came
when the population of the United
States was only 9,5O0,000, and there
were but 246 banks In the country. By
1920 ten Of these savings banks had
been established with $685. depositors
and aggregate deposits of $1,138,576.
Prosperity came, the people saved
and the deposits in these great reser-
voirs of capital, which now number
200, by leaps and bounds increased to
enormous proportions. To-day, with
our national wealth approximating
$1S7, 0O0, 900 600 and almost n hun
dred millions of people In the country.
we have about 81, 70O,0O0,O0O in the
savings banks belonging to ten and a
half million depositors. This may
an amazing sum of capital and
number of depositors, but when a com
parison Is made with other countries
and a balance is struck it is found the
United States is near the end of the
list in the percentage of savers to pop
ulation.

In every section of the country; with
gold pouring into the Golfers of the
banks; with every appearance of I'M
precedented future prosperity, the fact
is apt to be disregarded that the other
great commercial nations of the world
are involved in a war of frightful de-
struction and economic waste; that aft
er the war these nations will need
funds for reconstruction and the Unit
ed States will be called upon to sup
ply them; that for some time to come
this country will not be able to secure
capital, as in the past, from France
and Great Britain, for the purpose OF
carrying on new enterprises. The
United States must finance itself.
No fear need be had for the imme'
date future, but it is inevitable that
the time is coming when this country
must meet the test of financing prac'
tically the entire world. Preparations
are being made for defense in the
event of war; preparations should also
be made for peace. Adequate credit
machinery can be developed and per
fected, but it will a~ssuredly require 6
sufficient amount of capital to main

So the bankers are urging the estab-

them wisely. They are urging parents
to give their girls regular allowances
and teach them how to keep simple ac-

girls and business women, the bankers
are supplying speakers and helping

BIG CONCERNS WATCH
WASTE OF MATERIAL.
Get Full Value Out of Labor Another
Problem.


Problem.
Your job depends upon two things:
First, the proftableness Of the BUSH
ness; and second, your efficiency. II
the business is not remunerative it
cannot long exist, and the inefficient
workman is soon eliminated by the
processes of competition and supervi-
sion.
The principal cost in all business Is
the labor and material cost, and the
problem of business is to get full value
out of labor and cut out all waste
of material. The thriftless workman
can waste as much as he produces, and
do 1t so unconsciously that it may not
be detected without expensive check
ing. A fifty-nine-cent article can be
wrapped so extensively that the profit
disappears. Paper and Irvine is often
used so t~hriftlessly by department
store employees that when delivery Is
made the profit is cut In two. These
are the little leaks that waterlog the
business ship. The employee must real
lie the fact that he is one of q great
number. and If he allows little wastes
in material. or soldiers just a few
minutes each day. in the aggregate the
loss is enormous.
A few years ago there was a wreck
on q western railroad that cost the
company $250,000. The president sent
word down the line that as a special
favor to him he wanted each man in
the company's employ to endeavor to
save five cents worth of material a
day. or do five cents worth of work
more a day than heretofore, and the
loss would be made good in a year.
The problem of all big concerns is to
get the men in this frame of mind con
stantly-no lettering on the job and no
waste in the job.
Big concerns everywhere are giving
much thought to the elimination of the
waste and utilization Of all the by
products. Chicago is famous for using
all the pig but the squeal. The Penn
~sylyania Railroad requires that every
bolt and nut that can be retapped be
used. You will find no waste iron
around their yards. Even the cotton
waste used in wiping engines is clean
ed and used for packing journals. In
the South the stumps Of yellow pine,
heretofore a nuisance and an encum-
brance to the land, are now turned into
resin. %turpentine and other by-prod-
ucts.
