|. Work

In the July and August issues Of the
International Sugar Journal (l9l6) ap-
pear some very interesting data on the
Cuban sugar industry, based on a do.
tailed report by the department uf agri,
eulture, commerce and labor, supple.
mented by several other official publ.
cations. As the writer has had personal
Experience in the field in connection
with a score of factories, his digest
from which the following notes are
taken, is of exceptional interest; many
Dtber points besides these here noted
Rre touched upon, and the original ar.
ticle Is we'll worth careful perusal.
Control of the factory: As 4 rule
this is divided between the chief en-.
Engineer (jrfe thaquinista) and the fac
tory superintendent (jefe de fabricac.
cioh) the former has charge Of the
plant--the boilers, mills and so forth
while the latter works up the juice de.
liVered to him into sugar and its by
products.
That the working out of such a plan
with divided responsibilities, is rarely
satisfactory, is evident enough from the
low efficiency attained at many, If not
Rt most of the factories.

Under date Of November 10 the New
York correspondent of one of the sugar
houses writes az follows
"Thcre has been but little change
in this market since our last report.
Buyers are not disposed to climb for
what they need, while sellers appear to
be determined to hold theif sugars
until something happens to change the
outlook. Yesterday. the American and
other Tefners took about 100000 bags

greatly exceed the one taken off this

Size ys. Efficiency

Size ". Emciency
The writer observes that: "Fhis
very low efficiency in Cuban mills is
the result Of the argument that great
cnpacity and large output win pro
ducC greater profits than more efficient
working and smaller output. II may
also be due to lack of appreciation of
the results indicated M possible from n
study Of II complete technical control.
The connection between efficiency and
capacity is very complicated and in
cludcs many variables; given a factory
MS a constant, the economic limit of pro-
du"ti"n may vary with the p. = of SUI
gar, the price paid for cane, the per-
centage yield on cane, the overhead
charge, etc" The writer proceeds TO
indicate this variation.
Cost Of Production
Purchase Of cane: Cane may be
bought at from four and half to
seven and half per cent, computed as
sugar at the current market price in
Cuba. This refers to cane cut. hauled
and loaded on railway cars, the pur-
chaser paying transportation to factory.
Thus, With cane at five per cent and
sugar at three cents, the cost of a ton
Of cane is $500 f. o. b. cars
Cultivation expenses in western
Cuba; Cost of II ton OF cane f. o. b.
railway ears in western Cuba, $9.l3 per
ton.

Contrary to expectation, the average
result of fifteen of the larger factories
presents an average result only slightly
hotter than the grand average given
above.
This appears clearly from the follow

PUBLIC SENSE OF NEATNESS

The following editorial from an ex-
change in view of the general clean
up campaign that is to take place in
this city soon, is pertinent:
There are many people who are
thoughtful for the appearance of
their own home places, yet who are
absolutely careless as to the general
appearance of their town.
Comparatively few persons, who
have any sense of cleanliness at all,
would litter up their own home
grounds by throwing refuse out of
the windows. Yet the same people
will scatter paper bags and other
waste matter about the streets Of
their town. Then they complain
against the local officers if the place
is not kept in neat condition.
Most people also feel some pride
about keeping up home places. They
will take pains not to run over grass
bankings, and will scrupulously fol-
low paths. But when they go down
town they will cut corners, gradually
wearing down plots of grass, and give
the town an unfinished and rundown
air. No matter how much money a
town spends to keep it's public ways
in good shape, it will never have
neat and tidy appearance unless it's
citizens cooperate.
people should feel positive sense
of shame in throwing away anything
that would make their streets look
unattractive.
"In some places boys and girls are
trained to pick up waste paper that
is flying about the streets. With a
lot of youngsters active in that way,
not merely to remove evidences of
other peoples disorder, but not to
make any of their own, it is aston
ishing how towns appearance Can
be Transformed
"Allowing public streets to remain
in a disorderly condition must hurt
the reputation of a town. In these
days of automobiles a town receives
visitors constantly from far and near.
Residents of other cities come in a
critical spirit. They are quick to see
evidences of public disorder and they
bear away the news that this or that
town is dirty.
Spring is the time for cleaning up
Let us all resolve to keep the streets
neat this season.
