CUTTING OUT WASTE MOTION
Unnecessary Fatigue May BE Avoided
and Much Greater Amount Of
Work Accomplished.

There is no waste OF any kind in
the world that equals the waste from
needless. ill-directed and ineffective
motions. and their resulting unneces-
sayy fatigue"
This remark was made in a talk be-
fore the American Academy OF Poll
teal and Social Science by Frank b.
Gilbreth, the man who discovered lost
motions in bricklaying and who has
since devoted his time TO scientific
motion study.
Devising ways OF preventing this
waste is now occupying a great deal of
attention, and bringing TO economy Of
labor the application Of scientific prin-
ciples has caused a readjustment OF
working conditions in many indus
tries. The application OF so-called eff
cheney methods in business means
simply showing an exact regard for
the relation Of labo:' to a given task
so that there shall be no waste effort.
Our Offices and factories are being re-
adjusted so that time and unneces-
sary steps shall be ,aved.
Establishing motiSn standards for
the performance of routine work has
resulted in increased output and in
creased wages. with an accompanying
decrease in cost. MIR. Gilbreth points
out that most OF us do not stop to
think about the time we waste in the
performance OF ordinary duties.
II is declared that what motion
study has done for the industry it will
do for all human activities, and that
little more clear thinking about the
things we dO-a little less senseless
hurry-and at the end az the day we
will have attained greater accomplish.
ment, with less fatigue. and will be
in better sorts with ourselves and the
world.

FOUGHT DUEL IN THE AIR
German and British Aviators Engage
in Struggle Which Results in De-
struetion Of One Participant.

A thrilling spectacle took place the
other day on the French frontier when
a German aeroplane passed overhead
spying out the land. First there was
a rapid fire Of the antiair-craft guns
and though the white puffs OF the
shells seemed TO encircle il, they ap
peared TO be doing no harm. Then
the German airman caught sight OF
a British aeroplane and Immediately
started IN hot pursuit OF it.
Another British aeroplane which
was returning from a scouting tour
over the German lines. dropped out
OF the white clouds, as if by magic
But being above the German plane. its
presence was not perceived until it
was quite close. Then began a sensa.
tiOnal battle. For fear OF inuring
their own machines. the soldiers
stopped the fire from the antiaircraft
guns. Left TO themselves. the two
crafts cirCled and recircled round each
other. the British aeroplane rushing
in sometimes and then darting away
again, while the machine guns kept
up rapid firing. Suddenly the Ger.
man plane dropped with an abrupt,
twisting drive. For a thousand feet or
more it fell. helplessly. Then, as if
the aeronaut had made frantic effort
to adjust his levers, the machine
Strengthened out for a second or two
The British plane followed the Ger.
man in its fall. in graceful spiral
curves. and when it righted. opened
renewed fire upon it. A burst OF white
smoke from the German aeroplane an
nounced the explosion of the petrol
tank. The body OF the German ma
chine crashed TO the earth. Its heavy
four-cylinder engine embedded Itself
in the ground. its wings and body
shattered into splinters. and its stee
stays bent and twisted, lay scattered
about.

wood pulp available as a substitute for

The only difficulties yet remaining
