INSPECTING HUMAN
MACHINERY,

Milwaukee has a manufacturing plant
which is one of series Of three oper
ated in different parts of the country
by the same owners. The present
manager of the Milwaukee factory has
managed each of the other two. Under
his management each factory in turn
/. has been made to produce more and at
a lower cost than its rivals. Nothing
pleases this man so much as to place
one factory at the top of the list and
then go to one of the other two and
make his new shop beat his previous
one.
A brief consideration of his methods
would seem to promise profit to other
managers and owners and to be in
place here because his success accord
ing to his explanation, depends entire
ly upon the time and attention he gives
to the health and physical welfare of
the factory workers.
while other managers are giving
their main attention to the condition of
their machines and to the inspection of
the product, l study the operatives" he
told me in the course of discussion of
his business. "By observing the girls
at work, rath er than the product of the
work itself, can form a more correct
estimate of what our output is and will
be than by any other method of in

urged her to visit an oculist for an
examination. She protested that this
was unnecessary. Nevertheless, upon
my insistence she went to the eye
specialist we retain by the year. He
told me that the condition was very
bad. When the glasses were ready the
doctor took the girl to the window,
raised the shade and asked her to look
out. She gave little cry of happy
amazement. For the first time in her
life she was really seeing the beauties
of the world about her. I'm not

By attention we're bringing down the

the result that the workers feel better

'Of course, it's a bigger job to keep
human machines in fine running order

The government intends to orga- nize train crews and railroad coE- struction men to repair roads and inany of these are being quietly p,cked up throughout the country and will be employed on a quasi Iii ltary basis and subject to the mili- tary authorities. No formal all nouncement Of this is so far made.
 There seem to be desire upon the part of the administration to put down any sense of alarm as to the situation and the many very gravs stories coming from Mexico are de- scribed as fabrications which most of them are.
 Carranza's censorship is now so strict that it is practically impossible to get war information over the wires, but the newspapers persist in publishing these scary reports most of which are dated from border towns.

 So, if Tener's judgment is worth anything it might be well for the rookie pitcher to study effectiveness while working at a fast pace. Any way, he will have the consolation of knowing that some of the games greatest workers were men who used rapid fire tactics in putting the ball up to the batter.

TAKE YOUR TIME"
 HAS NO PRECEDENT
By HAMILTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 14. - John K. Tener, President of the National League, is one man who doesn't un- dorstand why every young pitcher who goes in to the big leagues is admonished, even after he becomes a veteran: "take your time"
 "The best of the pitchers, men who have made baseball history, did not do it," Tener said today, "and if there is anything in following an effective mans method to gain the same sort of effectiveness, the young pitcher is gaining nothing by taking his time."
 Tenor pointed out that when a pit cher begins to grow nervous, when the opposition begins to pickle the ball for base hits, the fans begin to roar:
 "Take your timew
 "And it was not done by any of the famous pitchers" he said,
 By way of proving his contention Tener picked out Radboume, M'Gjn- nifty, Mathcwson, Rusie, Fucker, Min CT Brown, and Alexander present day marvel.
 "They all worked fast" he said, "Mathewson was one of the latest workers ever saw and McCannity Radbomnc and Rusie were all speedy workers. Alexander, who holds a world record for shutout victories in one season, is a fast worker.
 "Perhaps, if the fans were aware of these facts they might cry out for the pitcher to speed up when the game went wrong.
 Tener was quite a marvel as a pit cher himself back in the days when baseball was just beginning to make it's popularity reach a high spot. So he was asked how he worked
 "Well," he replied, q wasn't a speedy pitcher, but I noticed that I always worked better when l worked fast"
 Tener made no attempt to give a reason for the effectiveness of the pitcher who worked fast, but he ad- mitted that a great many slow working
