board and was a consultant in psychol-
ogy to the British army during the
war.
Dr. Myers says the physiological
factors involved in purely muscular
fatigue are now fast becoming negli-
gible compared with the effects Of
mental and nervous fatigue, monot-
ony, want of interest, suspicion, hos
tility
"The psychological factor" he de-
clares, must therefore be the main
consideration of industry and com
merce in the future.
Does the textile industry, for ex-
ample, offer a properly organized vo-
cational system when so per cent of
the boys who enter it are said to
leave it before they reach the age Of
%? Do you call the work of a post
man, or a porter a vocation? What
chances are offered in such occupa-
tions for escape from a soulless life
of unrelieyed monotony?
Are high productivity, good wages,
and short hours the ultimate objects
of human existence, or should not the
worker aim at a fuller, more interest
ing and intellectual life, and at the
exercise of the higher duties of citi-
zenship?"
DR.. Myers declares that two fun
damental conditions must be satisfied,
as far as the workers are concerned
security against unmerited unemploy-
ment and share in management.
Next. Vocational selection" is urged
SO that, as far as possible, men may
enter work which interests them and
is suitable to their mental aptitudes.
Motion studies are also favored.
The author makes it clear that these
studies must not be for the purpose Of
sweating" workers, nor must they be
the edict Of some supervisor, but
rather be the result of Investigations
in which workers shall play a part to
secure the maximum Of production
with the minimum of effort Origin
ality among workers must be encour-
aged, rather than stided.
Workers must also be provided with
q truly vocational training which will

Whether japanese subjects can be

PICK HUGHES
 FOR CABINET
 POST. REPORT
(RY Nnfted preasl

Washington, Dec 2Z.-Charles Evans Hughes of New York has been conditionally offered the post of sec- retary of state in the Hard ng cabi- net, 1t was learned here today from reliable informants. The condition winch Mr. Harding attached to the qp- pointmont of Mir Hughe, was a-5 as secretary of state would work with Harding in the formation of the pro- posed association of nations, discard ing the league of nations.
 For Mir. Hughes to accept the con- dition attached to the appointment would demand a reversal of his public utterances on the league of nations. From the first, Mir. Hughes champion ed the Wilson league and it's covenants with slight amendments, his stand be- ing almost equal to the first one talk en by former President W. H. Taft.
 In political circles it is increasingly evident that the new secretary of state must be in full accordance with Mir. Harding on the association of nations plan, which he proposes to make the chief q plomatic achievements of his administration.

IRISH 10 TAKE
 BRITISH PLAN
 Of HOME RULE
fBY United PrassJ

London, Dec 22.-All lines on the Irish situation today seemed to con- verge on peace before Christmas.
 Irish leaders have apparently won their long fight for recognition as passage of the home rule bill is set by parliament today. King George 4 expected to give his 45yal assent tc the measure as his share in restoring peace to the island
 The home rule bill now before par hament lacks much of being what Irish leaders have demanded of the British government. However, it may be made and the island prove itself worthy of greater control of its own government.
 Ireland is allowed three and one half years under the bill to comply with it's provisions, otherwise it will become void. The bill follows the general plan presented by Premier Lloyd George. Two parliaments would be created, one in the north and the other in the south of Ireland with a general council composed of an even number of members selected from the two bodies.

COTTON SUFFERS
 6O-POlNT DECLINE

The decline in cotton was given re- newed impetus today, when the mar kets sustained losses averaging about $3 bale, new low marks being record ed in all positions. January New Or leans contracts broke under the 13- cent mark today for the first time since February, 1917, when unrestricted sub marine warfare was announced by Germany. A slight rally toward the close resulted in slight recovery from the lowest figures.
 On the New York market January contracts closed today at 1415 cents 63 points net lower, and March at 14.03 cents, 59 points down. In New Orleans January contracts lost 25 points, closing at 1909 cents, and March was down 57 points, closing at 1 1886 cents. Spots in New York de- clined 75 points to 1450 cents, but in New Orleans the decline in spots was only 25 points, to 1875 cents.
 Practically no cotton has been mar keted here this week, and it was i'm possible to give quotation under present conditions. Cotton was sell ing here last week on a basis of about II 12 cents for middling, and the big markets have declined about I 1-2 cents pound since then. It is stated that there is no demand for cotton by mills or factors, and none of the local buyers have been able to dispose of any of their holdings in the past two or three weeks.
 The price of cottonseed here re- mains unchanged at SIS per ton.

By United Press)

Marion, Ohio, Dec 22-An informal agreement that not more than two cabinet members shall be picked from the United States senate has been reached between President elect Hard ing and his advisors, it was semi-of- ficially said today.
 MT. Harding has limited the number of senate appointees to the cabinet with the double intention of leaving the senate personal virtually intact, and also to skirt around the natural jealousy of party leaders outside the senate. A preponderance of senate ap- pointees would cause a rift in the party, it was said. The selection of non-senate members would result in a corresponding increase of party harmony and have the added advan- tage of leaving senatorial membership undisturbed.

Washington, Dee, Indications of a strong and well organ zed fili- buster against the Fordney emergency tariff bill were evident in the house today when Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee announced he would attempt to jam the measure through today. Representative Blan- ton of Texas immediately made ob- jection to the majority proposal to i'm debate to one hour. Represen- tative Wingo of Arkansas gained the floor and temporarily shut off debate by demanding that the bll he given it's first reading by the clerk. The minority appeared to have excellent chances of delaying its passage.

event of the eleventh annual Journal
ism Week of the School Of Journalism,
University of Missouri.
1t is unlikely that such a feast has
ever before been nearer to this coun-
try than the end of a long ocean voy-
age, for this is to be a truly Philip
nine banquet, consisting entirely of
foods produced in the Islands, and 1t
will be prepared and served by native
Filipinos.
Tender, delicious "lechon," one of
the most popular dishes in the Philip
pines and an essential part of any real
ly representative banquet, will have a
prominent place among the strange
foods offered the diners. LechOn trans
lated into English Is the equivalent Of
roast pig, but to prepare it to the
taste of the Filipino will require all the
skill Of the native cooks who accom-
panied the shipment of food from Ma.
Mia. In making their final arrange
ments here they will observe all the
customs of the Islands, every detail be-
ing carried out to the letter.
To make lechon presentable for the
table the young pigs are barbecued on
bamboo poles over open charcoal fires.
When the several layers of banana
leaves enveloping it are burned the
fire is allowed to die down and the
lechon bakes gradually until the meat
is crisp and brown. With its peculiar,
delicious flavor and highly seasoned
stuffing, this Filipino dish is assured a
favorable reception at the end of its
long journey to the feast of visiting
journalists.
Another item of the strange menu
is called "ubi," and It is the ice cream
Of the Philippines. This cooling dish
takes its name from the ubi plant of
the Islands, which is used to give it a
pleasant flavor and attractive lavender
color. American caterers would find
considerable difficulty preparing the
long list of foods that will be served
by Filipino walters.
