ABOUT EFFICIENCY
lust What 1t May Mean In the
Home.
SAVING OF HUMAN EFFORT.

An Expert Discusses How Housewives
May Throw Off Cumbersome Ways of
System That Helps Carry the Burden.
We have talked so much about eff
cheney that it might be well to stop a
moment and consider what is the
meaning of its opposite, ineficiency.
Probably the best and simplest n
word definition of efficiency is conser-
walton. Likewise, we may sum up in
efficiency in the simple word waste"
Yes, ineficiency means waste, either
in a process of work, the materials
with which the work is done or with
the worker. The great problem of eff
cheney, therefore, is to reduce or elimi-
nate the amount of waste in any of
these three lines. 1t is unfortunate If
there is a waste in materials.
Waste in individual effort is what
we are most concerned about, especial
ly in regard to the effort of the home
maker. If there is waste, for instance,
in the food used in the home, or If
there is waste in the method which she
uses at work, we regret it, but we are
most sorry when she herself wastes her
w effort sc that she herself is de.
prived of necessary energy.
In fact, all our efforts are finally
aimed to benefit the human worker. If
we tell a IN to raise her sink or if
we show her how to market economic
ally we are doing so only that her per-
sonal effort shall be- diminished. Some
women write that they feel that this
efficiency idea would be an added
burden on top of their present work;
that it would be harder to impose new
schedules and new plans than to go on
with what they are now doing.
Efficiency does not in any way mean
added effort. 1t means simply elimina-
ton or cutting down of present faults.
For instance, the other day a woman
announced, "If this efficiency idea of
yours means a lot of expensive uten-
sils I'm not going to have anything to
w Will II. vi dhOlhCl NillCo, 3Od
don't mean that l should add a COM
plicated system of work to my present
duties" On the contrary, it is meant
that both these women and others
should merely sit down and study how
at present there may be waste in their
management. They do not need to add
a cumbersome system or a dozen pots
in order to be efficient. They need
only see how they work now, see what
amount of materials they use now, II o
tice what waste motion or effort there
is at present in various tasks or rou.
tines and then merely eliminate some
of this unnecessary work, this waste
motion and this superfuous effort.
If a woman once gets firmly fixed in
her mind that efficiency means the
elimination Of waste she has the key
to this whole new, stimulating idea. 1t
may be a waste in her food supplies, In
the fuel she is using, a waste of time
between various tasks, a waste of eff
tort walking twenty feet unnecessarily,
but somehow somewhere there will be
waste. Then if she cuts down this
waste in whatever department she
finds 1t, in whatever task or routine
she is In at the time, she will become
efficient.

 Now, sare," he directed, "you must hold the coat over the spark so she shall not get, by yee vizz, again wet"
 He showed me how to protect the engine from the elements by interpOs- ing my coat and my shlvering body between 1t and the waves. This being accomplished, he started the machln- cry, and we lurched forth into the night once more.
 Bill split his time between steering and mending the engine, keeping up q running fire of conversation, not with me, but with the motor. When she'd cough weakly Bill would hit her i'll some apparently tender spot with the fiat of a monkey wrench and say:

 "Ha, ha" laughed Bill "she shall be very funny yoke"
 We felt our way to the door, which was a solid one of plain wood with no glass panels.

 All right, then. Get ready. One, two, three!'
 Crash! Bill sprang at the door, and 1t fell inward.
