PLAYING at Soldering.

Some Australian Wellington will
probably trace a modern Waterloo to
the playing fields of Melbourne or Sgd
ney. Australia has recognized as the
result of her war lessons that intelli-
gence, not monotOny, is an Invaluable
test of the soldier. The old wear,-
some battle-ground system Of training
cadets is fast giving way to the new
planl which makes q play of work.
While the boys are taught discipline
and drill they are mainly shown how
to play basket ball and to compete in
Jumping, tug of war and swimming.
Those intrusted with the making of a
new Australian army are confident
that the best soldier will be the happy,
well-trained sportsman, who has
learned to play for his side, to keep
his temper and to think intelligently.
There can be little doubt that the
change is keenly appreciated by young

Learn From Lazy Man.

At last some use has been found
for lazy man. The secret was re-
vealed by F. b. Gilbreth, an efficiency
expert, in a recent lecture before the
polytechnic section Of the American
institute.
"When We 60 to Investigate fac
tory" he said, "and wish to find the
swiftest worker, we naturally ask to
see the men or girls who have the
latest pay envelopes.
"But when we want to see the man
who accomplishes task with the least
amount Of lost motion, we hunt out
the LATEST man in the factory. BY
instinct, he learns to do things
without loss Of motion, otherwise he
could not hold his job.
1--WE study that mans movements
and take motion pictures of him In
action. Then we show these pictures
to the rapid, energetic worker, and by
studying them he learns shorter meth
DDS and becomes much more efficient
at his own work.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

HIS TIME ALL TOO SHORT
Dying Prcfiteer Could Not Make Com.
plete Confession Of lniqutty in
One Brief Day.

Armin W. Riley, head Of the flying
squadron" that hunts down profiteers
for the department Of justice, told a
profiteer story at Washington re-
ception. .aI
a sick profiteer," he said, "was
told by his physician that he had only
a short time to live. Accordingly, he
expressed desire, to confess his sins.
and divine was sent for.
"The divine entered the dying prof.
iteers chamber and the door was
closed. An hour, two hours, three
hours passed. Nothing was to be heard
by the attendant nurses and physi-
clans outside in the corridor save the
steady, monOtonous' flow Of the prof
iteer's confession, punctured at brief
intervals by EXPLANATIONS of horror
and indignation on the part Of the
divine.
Lunch was sent into the sickroom,
and the confession went Oh. The af-
ternoon waned. The sun set. Night
fell. The diyine's dinner was carried
to him. And still the profiteer con-
tinued to confess.
"Haggard and unstrung, the divine
lat last tottered forth at daybreak.
"'Our unfortunate friend he said,
is no more. He worked. very, very
hard; but at the time he passed
away he had only carried his confess
sion through the first year of the
war"

AMERICAN RED Cn0SS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health ane
community welfare work of the .Aneri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health. wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants. debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ricd Gn under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tu;ge. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS a result of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
ized to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
of community meetings, as well as cira
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
service is to lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
saiy.
