MANAGING A BUSI.
NESS IN WAR TIME"

Two volumes, "a pages fully H.
lustrated; bound in standard vellum
cloth $500. "A. W. Shaw Company,
| Chicago, New York, London.
Business has come to be as vital
a factor in war as an army or a navy.
And these books are intended to help
the business man to meet the prob
lens he is encountering.
British business has faced for years
the same problems now confronting US
its experience should help US. To that
end a large portion of the material
in the first volume is based on the
experiences of British concerns and
British commercial leaders.
In the very first chapter-Adjust-
ing a Business to Wartime Condi-
tions-T. ]. Zimmerman, Managing
Editor of the British SYSTEM, tells
exactly how a British business met
the new conditions and sudden pro-
blems that the war brought.
Other chapters in the first volume
are: What American Business Men
Can Learn from British Experience +;
Hints on Handling Wartime Bust
ness; How Working Hours Affect
Output; Training the Boy Worker.
The second volume treats particu-
larly of ways for American Business
to Meet Wartime Conditions, and
the list of chapter titles suggests the
possibilities. For instance, The Pro-
bable Effect of the War upon Prices;
A Short Cut in Financing; How to
Sell to the Government; More Pro-
duction with Fewer Men. Wartime
Buying Problems and many others.
Nor are the business problems that
will confront US when peace is de-
clared. forgotten. Here are one or
two of the subjects covered: Where
Will European Competition Finds
Us Weakest?; What Chance Has
America After the War;; Preparing
for the trade Contest.
Some of the men who have made
these books valuable for American
business men by their contribution
are Lord Leverhulme, Sir Charles
W. NIAGARA, Ri. Hon. John Hodge.
M. P, Minister of Labor. Laurence
R, Dicksee of the University of Lon
don, Ralph E. Holman of North
western University, w. r. Basset of
Miller, Franklin. Basset & Co., Regi-
maid Trantschold, John Hays Ham
mond, Theodore f. Burton, Noble
F. Hoggson, and other successful
business men.
In short these books show the
American business men just what
he must do to rcadjust his business
to the demands of war, from secur-
ing the necessary help to the char
acter of the product he should
handle, from the minor problems
which may be more or less obvious
to anticipating the notifications that
the Government might otherwise
suggest, soOne or later.
The which serve the coun-
try best during the war are the
ones most likely to come out of the
war stronger than they went in. To
wait for the Government to suggest
needed changes is, at best, to trifle
with opportunity.

DELAY HAMPERS EFFICIENCY

The water power bill, now being
prepared by the House Committee,
and the general land-leasing bill are
as essential war measures as even
war appropriations, for it is evident
that preparation must be made for
n long war, during which much devel-
opment could be effected under those
bills. The general leasing bill should
result a great increase in production
of fuel and of phospates for fertili-
yer, while the water power bill
should cause much fuel to be saved
and production of other commod-
ities to be increased. 1t would eco-
nomize railroad transportation and

and in mining coal. 1t 10 to be hop

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Since the appointment of steel
magnate Scbwab to the head Of the
Ship Building Board there has been
an increase of about fifty per cont
in production.
Seventeen wooden ships and one
concrete ship, besides a number of
steel vessels in seventeen days in
May was a sample of speeding up
industry by spending down politics.
Men like Ryan of the Anaconda
Copper Company at the head of the
Airplane division, and Jackling at

Business efficiency has il over
political inefficiency by about fifty
per cent and then some, and the

these two mischievous immortals OF
literature as perhaps no other boy

But Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn are not attractive merely to those
who like a good story. fort stories
are underlined, like the rest OF Mark

small town boys OF olden days.
