MONKEYS HAVE MOTOR CARS
New Craze Has Captured the Board
walk Summer Girl at At.
iantic City.

Gone is the day of the once famous
Teddy bear. No longer is the hereto
fore much coddled lap dog milady's
companion either in her motor car
or on her walks. Into the discard
has been thrust hurriedly and with
out ceremony, the comic doll of early
summer popularity.
In their place has come the novelty
produced by the combination of toy
motor car and real, live, regular
monkey, which the Atlantic City
5oardwalk's summer girl has brought
into unexpected prominence both on
the great wooden way and the bath
ing beaches, and once or twice in the
glittering cabaret places that dot the
boardwalk approaches. Apparently
the craze for the Simian escorts is
taking hold even more quickly than
did that which marked the debut of
the now all but forgotten Teddy.
Wrapped in garments that are har-
moniously in accord with the exagger-
nted color scheme of this seasons
bathing costumes. the pets are being
trundled with increasing frequency in
the afternoon parades along the board
walk that forms the chief attraction
for the resorts feminine contingent.
And the monkeys seem to enjoy the
outings.

went home firmly determined to obey
ORDERS and taking dollar he had
given her to buy a model band she
hastened to the shop and invested in

she sped to the fancy work depart
ment and got wool as near like the
sample as possible.
Her first surprise came when she
discovered that the. price of wool had
Increased greatly, but she invested in
quarter Of pound, which seemed
ample for the Job. This cost SO cents
and u set Of knitting needles came to
ten cents additional.
The making was easy enough, begin
ming with 93 stitches on each of the
four needles she rib-stitched for three
Inches. Then just as in knitting
stockings she changed to all round
stitch to make the body of the belt.
This was to have, been continued for
ten inches with a ribbed strip at the
other end. but long before the band
was half finished the wool had run out
and q double quantity had to be got.
Thus the band cost something more
than dollar merely for materials, not

Increasing the Workers Efficiency

Probably the greatest problem which
confronts the American public utility
and in fact all, corporations, is how to
bridge the chasm caused by the en-
forced increase in the cost of material
and labor and the decreased price for
which the product must be sold. Vari-
Gus expedients have been tried, some
Of which have proven of material adj
vantage. The holding company has
been instrumental in effecting better
methods of financing and managing,
while at the same time it has estab-
liShed more economical methods of Op-
Grafton; but in the last analysis,
higher type of efficiency on the part
Of labor must be continually striven
for by all successful corporations, and
how to obtain this increased efficiency
Is problem that calls for unrelenting
study.-'Insuring Thousands of Pub
lie Service Employees" w. G. Jenk-
