ADVISES AGAINST ACCIDENTS

1
r. P. Farris, the real estate man,
says he has nearly run over several
children on the streets lately. He
says that these near accidents have
happened when he was running at
only q few miles an hour. Children
have run directly in front of his car,
when he was going at six or seven
miles an hour, and he had to use the
brakes severely to keep from rum
ming over them. Children cross the
streets, between crossings and with
out looking where they are going
and without looking to see what is
coming. He suggests that the par
ents give them a little more educa-
tional work, If possible, on the way
to cross the streets, and how to
watch for cars.
It is quite job to raise family
and we suggest that the parents take
time to drill the children on just
how to cross the streets. 60 with
them and show them that they must
watch to the left until they get to
the center of the street, and then
watch to the right while they are
crossing the second half of the
street.

WEIGHT OF DOLLAR BILL.
Engineering Class Baked. But
Learns 20 Weigh as Much
as Silver Dollar.

Harrington Emerson, of New York,
director of the Emerson Engineers, ,efficicn-
cy counsellors, lectured before the en-
ginecring class at NJ. /. r. yesterday and
submitted the test question: "How many
dollar bills equal in weight one silver
dollar?" Although the correct answer to
the question is 20, the average number
estimated by the class was 434.S.
There we're S3 answers to the ques-
ton, the highest estimate being 10000
and the lowest zero. 1t. Arthur G. Miles
submitted the nearest to the correct
answer, his figures being "a, while the
written answer OF few other students
was %.
As the students delivered their answers
MIR. Emerson undertook to determine
the temperament Of each individual, de-
posting in one pile answers which he
believed came from conservatives, and
In another those coming from the rash.
The average estimate Of the conservative
pile was 1925, while the average of the
other was sos.
"This test" said Mr.. Emerson, may
arouse amusement, anger or sadness, but
1t illustrates the incompetence OF > he
human mind, and is sad in view of the
fact that this is a selected class of men,
having every day cognizance of the sub
iect.
He was introduced by Professor +.
II. Schell of the engineering admins
tration department as 'the foremost
industrial engineer in the country, and
that means in the world"
During his lecture the speaker declared
that all modern operations were over
equipped and under-supervised, and that
was the fundamental trouble. In Illus
tration, he questioned the class as to
what percentage of the time the main
track of the railroads was in use by moving
trains. He rcceivS several answers of 5
and 10 per cent, and finally announced
that an answer of | per cent was correct.
In conclusion, he gave demonstra-
tion of his method of investigating and
reporting upon the efficiency of'industrial
