Pulling stumps to provide land for

until Livingston's day, as antiquated.

cheap dynamite and machinery Is just

He must perform his part with spirit and enthusiasm; he must have mind free from outside care and annoyance that he may think of the best and quickest way; that he may think, think, think, all the time of the safe way to per form his part. Such conditions make for efficiency and efficiency is produc- ton.
 Ford accidents have decreased 80 per cent in the past year alone in the face of 100 per cent increase in em- ployes And Ford workers themselves defining this spirit assert that it is the result of short hours, a living wage, safe, healthful. pleasant sur roundings, the very foundation of ef- ficiency. Exactly what part the eight hour day has taken in producing these results may never be known exactly, but Ford employees say unanimously that it has been a large part.

EIGHT HOUR PLAN, STARTED BY FORD.
 WIDELY ADOPTED
Statistics Show Increased Results When Working
 on This Basis

Since the Ford Motor company, in January, 1914, adopted the eight-hour working day, the plan, regarded at that time as an experiment, has been gradually adopted throughout the country and seems to be increasing in favor as it's value becomes more fully known
 For skeptics, however, few con- crete illustrations taken at random in the Ford factory as well as testimony of employees working under the sys- tenn should prove convincing. Imme- diately after the eight-hour plan went into effect voluntary increase in production of about 15 per cent was shown. This may have been due in part to the increase in wages that came with the profit sharing plan, but in the light of subsequent investigation it seemed that the short working day, coupled with the safe working condi- tions brought much higher state of efficiency and increased efficiency all ways means more production.
 This fact is especially noticeable in

An Electric Pistol.

An inventor has turned out an cleo
trio pistol built along original lines. 1t
does not use gunpOwder or cartridges,
but is so constructed that its contents,
gases, are exploded by touch Of the
button and a projectile is expelled. The
pistol consists of a brass cylinder at
one end of which Is small battery
and coil. The gases are introduced
from the outside or from small tank
attached to the pistol frame, explains
the Electrical Experimenter. Although
the use Of electricity in this case Is
merely an experiment, 1t is evident that
1t can be used to produce exactly what
powder does. explosion In confined

1t is now quite certain that 100 or
more additional men will have to be
called for examination for the draft
to supply the county's quota of 226.
From reckonings made of those already
examined, rejected, and accepted, and
those who have filed claims. it seems
improbable that the rest of the quota
can be obtained from those who have
filed claims.
OF the 452 in the original list, eighty
were discharged as physically unfit,
and Ill were accepted. Excluding those
discharged and those accepted who did
not file claims, there remain 261 who
have filed claims. 1t is estimated
of the Ill accepted, that not more than
eleven will be rejected at the final
physical examination. That would
leave 100 Of the quota supplied, but
it is not at all probable that the re-
naming 126 can be obtained out Of the
261 who. have claims for exemption
on file. If they are not enough more
will have to be examined to secure the
rest of the quota.

River Keeps Itself Warm.

One Of the hydro-electric power
plants of the far North, which uses
river water to supply current for its
electric gold dredges. has devised q
novel scheme to make the river keep
itself warm. Electric heating units
have been sunk in the bed Of the
stream and the power generated by
the falling water actually raises the
temperature Of the flowing water
enough to prevent the river from
freezing during the coolest weather.
Thus the stopping of the work during
the winter months is avoided.-Popu-

Conserving wheat does not mean

ut means a decreased use of wheat IN
bread making and the increased use OF

serving wheat broadly lie in the use OF

ley, rice, and potatoes. Specifically
they lie in the substitution of other
cereals for part Of the flour in making
bread, in substituting dry bread
crumbs for part of the flour; in serv-

in using more breakfast foods; in
using more quick breads; by carefully
