Louisville Efficiency Club
is Ready for End of War

Louisville, KY, Sept. 27.-Louis-
vile business men have organized
an Efficiency Engineers club along
lines urged by government officials
in preparation for the trade war that
is expected after the end of the
war.
Each business or profession will
have one representative in the insti-
tute, which will act as a practical
clearing house OF business problems.
The Louisville club is said to be
the first Of its kind in the country,
although similar clubs are now be-
ing organized in other cities. 1t is
expected a national organization will
grow out of these local clubs, so that
each industry in the nation may
bring together its leaders to dis
cuss methods of improving produc-
ton and management.
