SMOKING AND CHATTING PERIODS
Have Been introduced at a Marlboro
Shoe Factory.

Marlboro, Mass, April 26,--Smoking
and chatting periods have been intro
duced at a local shoe factory in an eff
fort to increase efficiency, Several
ideas eliminating unnecessary proc
eesses have been adopted and other
suggestions aimed at time-saving are
being tried out.
Some Of the operatives, it is said,
did not take kindly to the experiments
and were wondering obviously what
the next attempt of the management
to obtain shorten TO production
would be. 1t came in unexpected form
and the employees are now discussing
the latest idea over their pipes and
their knitting "on the company :
time"
Their speculation over the next Ell
ficiency plan was answered by the fol-
lowing announcement; Production
must be increased Quality must be
improved. Beginning tomorrow, OPP
erations will be suspended twice daily
to allow operatives 70 rest.
During these periods, which begin at
10 in the morning, and in the after
noon, the power of the plant is shut off
and the wheels are stopped while the
men smoke and the women chat or
knit. Then the whirr of the machinery
begins again and the workers return to
their task Of making shoes.

RECORD MARK IN REAL ESTATE
TRANSFERS AND REMOVALS..

March 1st in Delaware. county saw
the greatest volume of real estate
transfers in history and SO far as is
known contracts were carried out
without hitch SO far as payments
were concerned. AS a rule more
money was paid than contracts requir-
ed and now that 1t is all over, and
the deals are practically cleaned up
the general financial situation is as
good and even better than q year ago.
With practically every transfer OF
real estate or town property went q
change Of occupancy. It is estimated
that there were as many again remov-
ais where there was no change of title
SO that the first Of March saw more
families changing their places Of resi-
dence than eyer before.
County Recorder Dunlap informs US
that since the first Of the year there
have been recorded in his office over
one thousand instruments, setting q
new record for the office. On Satur-
day and Monday the filings were un-
