SCIENCE TOF|ND
LABOR EFFICIENCY
Physiological Experiments to
Determine Period of Gre atest
Production Reported
TESTS MADE IN FACTORIES

st. Louis, Jan. 2.--Results of an
investigation to determine the most
effective method of stimulating produc-
tion by the proper use of the physical
power of workmen were outlined today
by Prof. +. s. Lee of Columbia Uni
versity, New York, before the section
on physiology and experimental science
at the convention of the American AS
sociation for Advancement of Science
here.
Professor Lee, who during the war
studied industrial conditions abroad as
a federal investigator, said that indus
trial physiology was a new science de-
veloped during the war. BY the use
of physiological rules it is possible to
determine at what period in the work
day the workman is most efficient in his
duties, he said.
The old rule of industry has been to
work man to the limit and then throw

him aside, but that Is not considered
efficiency under present conditions and
methods Of study, he asserted.
In studying the physical industrial
condition to develop accurate rules by
which production can be enlarged, tests
have been made in factories showing the
effect of holidays on employees; the
effects of rest periods and the effect of
long hours on the number of accidents,
he declared.
From these tests, he continued,
efforts will be made to outline industrial
plans by which each line of work may
know whether the human machine may
reach it's greatest production by work
ing six, eight or, ten hours 81 DAY ana I'M,
at what period the most efficient work
can be done.

Silver Shortaue

Yielding to the pressure of finan-
ciers and exporters, the treasury de-
partment has directed the director of
mints to issue to the Federal Reserve
banks the silver dollars remaining of
the 350,00O,OO0 that the Pittman act
authorized the treasury to melt. The
banks will be authorized to dispose
of the silver to American banks at
Shanghai and the Orient, which will
sell the. dollars or bullion at the mar
ket price of silver This step is TAX
en-, it is said, to reduce adverse ex-
change rates against the United
States in China and to check the in
ordinate demand for silver in that
country.
The world is short of metallic
money, particularly of silver. The
trade balance since the war is largely
in favor of silver.using countries. In
stead of endeavoring to break the
price of the metal t,y artificial means,
it would be good craftsmanship to en-
courage the production, says the Ne
vada Mining Press. One way in which
it can be done is to eliminate the ex-
cess profits tax on silver-producing
mines, as it has been eliminated from
gold mines. The idea of an excess
profit being earned by an industry in
which production depreciates the
value of the property to just the ex-
tent that ore is mined, is without rea-
son. 1t is thing that cannot be.
Production would also be materially
increased in this country if peace
were signed and credits arranged by
means of which foreign countries
could buy our copper. The copper
mines of the United States produce
between 40 and go per cent of all the
silver mined in the country. At pres
ent they are working at less than so
per cent of their normal output.-M.
and F. Record.

MAGNITUDE OF
OPERATIONS IN
RAY IMPRESSES
EASTERN AUDITOR

Mr.. John Hartnett, Jr., auditor
chemicals board contract adjustment,
and member Of the general staff at
Washington, D. G., was a Ray visitor
visit some Of the underground work
ings and really felt impressed with
the magnitude of the operations be-
ing performed at Ray In his own in
imitable manner, he expressed how
the bigness of everything appealed to
him, and it seemed to remind him of
the, great subways: Ray the entrance
to the larger part underground.
He was further impressed with the
immensity upon which we are enter
ing the cotton production field and
brought out the fact that so few peo-
pie in the east realize that so much
of everything is done. in the grand
ties require his presence over vast
territory, and he has wonderful oppor-
tunities to study conditions in various
sections of the country, but Ain all Of
his travels he has not seen anything
quite so interesting as the big Ray
mine and the wonderful cotton fields
growing practically in the desert. Like
most other students of economy, Mr..
Hartnett urges upon the public the
necessity of saving their money for
the "rainy day." and while not a men,
ber of any "overalls" club, he believes
in thrift, careful buying and conscien
tious adherence to the principles of
efficiency.

nished each month.
Relief branches operating-54 relief

to get supply of water sufficient to-
meet their needs. The navy depart
ment put one training camp in a
swamp near Norfolk at a cost of ST.
100000, and every dollar of it will be
lost.
"The people," concluded Mr.. Deni-
son, may as well understand who is
responsible for the awful revelations
which these Investigations are dis
closing. Gentlemen from North Caro-
lima and Tennessee say there is an
attempt beni gmade to discredit the
president. 1t will not work. The
facts and figures show that the waste
and ineffective investments of such
a considerable part of the $4,000, ,000,-
600 war expenditures has been due
largely to the autocratic and dicta-
torial encroachment by the president
on the constitutional privileges of
congress and the servile submission
of the democratic majority in the
house which together prevented the
appointment of a joint committee to
supervise war expenditures, thereby
opposing and ending any action be-
ing taken at the beginning to prevent
or at least lessen the probability of
such waste"

Land BOARD
PROBE Still
Continuing

Pf1OENlA, May Zl.-W1th the re-
sumption this week of the investiga-
tion of the state land board into the
alleged irregularities practiced by, w.
A. Moeur, land commissioner, and the
land department, prominent leaders of
the democratic party are on the
ground using every influence possible
to quash the probe. Thus far all eff
forts to hush up the investigation
have proven futile, and the four demo
cratic members of the board, as we'll
as Governor Campbell, are standing
pat on the proposition that now that
the investigation has been agreed
upon, it must go through to the end,
allowing every person in the state
who has grievance an opportunity
to present. it,
This investigation was started by
Moeur. 1t was his attorney, George
Purdy Bullard, who demanded it. 1t
was State Treasurer Ross and Secre-
tary of State Sims who asked the gov
ernor to call the executive meeting of
the board which resulted in it, and
every member of the board voted in
favor of it. Ross and Sims believed
that an investigation would result in
vindication for Moeur Wiley Jones,
the attorney general, and State Audit
or Boyce agreed to it as a means to
an end, that of securing concrete evil
dence which would result in the re-
moval of Moeur for cause, and Cover
nor Campbell agreed to it as matter
of fairness to the land commissioner
and the department.
Practically every big cattleman in
the state is on the ground attempting
to pull wires to bring about the reten-
ton of Moeur and continuance of
the easy-going policy of the depart
ment which has made the leasing of
state lands at few cents an acre an
easy proposition for the man on the
inside.
Though Moeur demanded the inves-
tigation and courted the fullest in
quiry into his conduct of the office,
he has now assumed a surly, truculent
attitude with reference to the supply
ing of certain information. Il have
never accepted a dishonest dollar in
my life," declared Moeur at the OPEN
ing of the proceedings, but when At
torney F. G. Struckmeyer, represent
ing the board, attempted to find out
about the Moeur oil well transactions
and the manipulation of his campaign
accounts, he was met by absolute re-
fusal on the part Of Moeur and his
deputy, Ben Clark.
Struckmeyer charges that Moeur
sold stock in an oil well which he was
promoting to prominent cattle
men throughout the state who
had business pending before the land
department of which 'Moeur was sole
arbiter, but when he sought to have
the records of the company brought
into the hearing, Moeur refused on
the ground that it was private busi-
ness. For the same reason Clark re-
fused to submit a statement showing
funds on deposit in his name at SAT-
ford bank. From these funds, Clark,
previously had testified he had drawn
$3.50 with which to refund S. G. Bar
rows of Benson, Barrows having do
mated that amount to Moeur's cam
paign expenses when he was running
for governor.
The scope of the present investiga-
tion has been widened to such an ex-
tent, and so many new complaints are
appearing that it is probable that it
cannot be completed before June /.
