ing for British labor. recently said
in the house of lords that the Brit
ish workman regarded American ef-
fciencv methods in factories as a
bit of Prussianism which they would
oppose to the limit.
This only shows that clergvmcn
can occasionally be wrong. British
labor, when experimental with un-
der American working conditions,
responded bv producing more shells
or gas masks in an s or 9-hour day
than in the usual 10 to y hours,
and with less fatigue. These figures
have been cited in the house Of
commons.
Labor has approved shorter hours .
and the use OF tools and work
benches calculated TO reduce un-
necessary operations in all quick .
repetition work. The directors of .
manufactures. though exceedingly .
conservative and slow to make /.
changes. are sure to approve 4 sim .
ultaneous increase in output and in
the contcntment of workers. They
are being educated to this now by
their industrial associations. MANY
manufacturers have received 4 spe-
cialy prepared booklet telling Of in
dustrial research in the United
States and containing photographs
showing factory methods in Amer
lea.
The particular part in this indus
trial revolution assigned to the Ma
tonal Physical Laboratory of Great
Britain, which corresponds to the
United States Bureau of Standards.
is the control of Standardization.
The inevitable result of this inro-
vation will be that British marrfac-
turing methods are to become those
of America by the general adoption
of uniform quantity production.
Standardization, a word which
YOU hear often at army headuuar-
tcrs in France as well as in wine
shops in Paris and tea shops in
London, came across the Atlantic
several years ahead Of our trans
ports to make possible the almost
inconceiyably vast production OF
munitions of war. Americans like
to think they invented standafdiza-
tion and its application to manu-
featuring, but there is a probability
that the pyramids were built BY
standardizing the sizes of the stone
blocks and the tools and devices by
which the blocks were cut and lift
ed into place.
But America should get credit for
making it a national reasonino i'm
the planning Of factories so that
more work can be accomplished
with less waste and strain Of effort
by the worker.
The National Physical Labora-
tory will control British standardi-
zation in two ways-by regulating
measurements and by prescribing
uniform metal allows.
The laboratory is now hard at
work with automobile and motor
truck gauges, or standard patterns.
! saw many examiners at work with
these gauges in the neurology de
partment. The fact that this test
ing goes on at top speed along with
war work of vital immcdiacy shows
the consideration being given.
There is probably no industry ir
the world so completely standard
ized as American motor car manu-
featuring. That is the only reason

made to crush the world and drive
freedom from The earth?
"We have the answer close at
home. A California boy. serving as
soldier in The American expedition
arv forces in France, has recently
written a letter 10 his parents in San
Bernardino in which he gives as well
as any one could give the answer 10
the question we ask.
"This American boy-Evans by
name-tells of meeting General Foch
at close range in France. Evans had
gone into an old church 10 have
look at il. and as Sc stood there with
barred head satisfying his respectful
curiosity, a gray man with the eagles
of a general on the collar of his shah
bv uniform, also entered the church.
Only once orderly accompanied the
quiet gray man. No glitterlng staff
officers, no encourage of gold-laced
aides were with him; nobody but just
the orderly.
"Evans paid small attention a.
first 10 the gray man, but was curl
Gus to see him kneel in The church,
praying. The minutes passed until
full three quarters of an hour had
gone before The gray man arose from
his knees. Then Evans followed him
down the street and was surprised to
see soldiers salute this man in great
excitement, and women and children
stopped in their tracks with awe
struck faces as he passed. 1t was
Foch. And now Evans, of San Ber-
nardino, counts the experience as The
greatest in his life.
"Nor was it an unusual thing for
General Foch 10 do. There is no
dav that he does not do the same
thing if there be a church that he
can reach. He never fails 10 spend
an hour on his knees every morning
that he awakes from sleep, and every
night it is the same. The facts, then,
in the case are, that when the free
dom of the world hung in the bal
ance, The world turned to Foch as the
one great genius who could have II
against the Hun; and that Foch, who
is perhaps the greatest soldier the
world has produced, is, first of all, a
Christian"
