ARE MANY USELESS MOTIONS
Shaving, for Instance, Is Field in
Which Services of Efficiency Ex-
pert Are Greatly Needed.

One of the most fantanstic per-
sons in the world is the public Off
cial who before he can write a postal
order or a tax receipt has to make
preliminary curls of penmanship in
the air. Observed by the scientific
eye, we are much more fantastic our
selves.
If our effective motion could be
registered on visual target our rec
ord would be found to resemble that
Of savages who use ammunition
without a sight on their guns. If we
think that the ordinary soldiers
craftsmanship is wasteful, we may
well look to ourselves. Our life is
peppered with motions that fly wide
and wild. 1t begins on awaking. We
stretch our arms-waste motion
We ought to utilize that gesture for
polishing our shoes. We rub our
eyes-more foolishness. We should
rub our eyes on Sunday for the rest
of the week.
But it is in processes like shaving
that scientific management is really
needed. Men fatter themselves that
they shave with the minimum of
gesture. They believe that they COM
plete the operation under five min
utes. But excusing their inaccuracy,
do they know that under the inspec-
tion Of the scientific manager their
performance would look as Jagged
as their razor blade under the micro.
scope? The day will probably arrive
when a superman will shave with
one superb motion as delightful to
the soul as the uncoiling of an
orange-skin in one long unbroken
peel.-New Republic.

ASKED NO MORE C0NUNDRUMS
Topnoody Decided to Quit After He
Came to Grief in Exchange of
PIeasantries With Mrs. T.

Mr.. Topnoody went to minstrel
show the other night, and the funny
conundrums and jokes he heard set
him thinking. So at breakfast he
began on Mrs. Topnoody. She was
fretful and not very much in humor
for pleasantly, but Topnoody
slashed away.
81 say, Mrs. Topnoody, can you
spell money with four letters?"
"No, l can't" she said.
"Ha, ha! that's good. A woman
can never get at this sort Of thing in
the same clear-headed way a man
can. Well, the way to spell it is
cash. Isn't that money!"
Mrs. T. failed to smile, and Top
moody started out with another.
"Wait a minute" she interrupted.
'1've got one. Let's see if you can
get it. Spell Topnoody with five let
ters."
Topnoody puckered his brows
awhile and gave it up.
"Ha, ha" laughed Mrs. t.,
"that's good. A man can never get
at this sort of thing in the same
clear-headed way a woman can. Well,
the way to spell it is i-d-i-o-t. Isn't
that Topnoody?"
But Topnoody never smiled, and
breakfast was finished in silence, ex-
cept an occasional chuckle from Mrs.
Topnoody's end of the table.

PRINCE NEVER FORGOT FACES
British inventor Tells Some interest
ing Stories Of the Early Days
of King Edward.

On one occasion Louis Sterne, an
engineer and inventor, and q friend
of Charles Dickens, showed King
Edward, when prince of Wales, his
exhibits at South Kensington and
the Crystal palace.
''The next time that / met the
prince" said Mr.. Sterne, 81 was
crossing Piccadilly, at the top Of st.
James street. In trying to escape
being run down l ran directly into
the arms of his royal highness. He
at once recognized me and said, Mr..
Sterne, you should give this traffic
time, and never cross the bows /
expressed surprise that he should
recognize me, to which he replied
that he never forgot either face or
name if associated with any matter
of interest"
Mr.. Sterne met the prince again
at a picture exhibition, where por-
trait of the late W. H. Smith was
hung. Turning to the princess, his
royal highness said:
"Hello, there's Smith,
At once a man standing near
turned round and acknowledged the
recognition, offering his hand,
which the prince unhesitatingly ac-
cepted. When this man, whose name
happened to be Smith, recognized
the prince, he became embarrassed,
and with the lady who accompanied
him, made his exit as soon as pos
sible.

sALoNIKI: QUEEN IN RAGS.

There is something tragic about
Saloniki. / have visited many
goodly states and cities, and | doubt
if there be one other on the globe
to compare with Saloniki in her in
genious combination of splendOr and
squalor, says William McFee, in the
Atlantic. She is a dirty queen, sit
ting in filthy rags, with gems about
her noisome girdle, and a diadem
upon her scrofulous brow. She
babbles in all the tongues of Europe
and speaks none of them Alright. She
has no native language, no native
air. She is all things to all men, Jew
and Gentle, Moslem and Frank.
She is everything and nothing. The
winds of heaven blow among the
ruined turrets of her citadel, while
the mosquitoes from the Vardar
swamps sing ten million strong in
the purlieus of the port. She is
very proud. She has nothing left to
give but death, yet the nations fling
themselves upon her and quarrel for
the honor of her embrace.

was need of some outside help,
but not in great numbers, the
total for all being only $500.
Fifty-two counties said that
farmers would employ high

full. Only two said these
young men would not be en-
ployed.
