MODERN PRODUCTION


 T HOSE WHO pessimistio about production permit U their aniees to disturb them unduly. Charles Fl Steinmetz n America and the New Epoch presents the sounder view which well be recalled He says
 It has decreased about 20 of inventions and inn
 has increased least ten fd-pro1aes
 nearly twenty to thirty t0d-Dut Tor lnus'le s @ @ us
 the ten-fod increase Thus with an average or one % produce much we did in ten
 The India Rubber World, considering this proposition, says just rubber business in any thing illustrates In the time of Goodyear which IS hundred years rubber mill batch of pounds But single workman, operating modern high speeds mills, produce thousand pounds an hour which is more than fortyfold
 In certain operations drying vacuum dryer what it formerly took three months
 The S.einmetz probably too low is diff estimate modern production against ancient production because the quality production different
 Modern estimated not in terms alone of food and drink place sleep but in figures of increasing human comfort and activity.
 The bygone age age in had bath tubs, and modern heating plants There electric lights no gas and as a rue running Sewage too through the open streets the surface Houses lily ventilated winter. Diet comparatively sc4ed There were no good roads, trolley cars steam rains telegaphs bath tubs moving pictures
 Babies died like flies and their elders the same of life shorter than Common education was rudl mentary just beginning by which all the peo- n1e might he instructed Some men were chae slaves Work men wer just emerging from condition of serfdom
 When the quality of life is measured as an element In producvit elements like clean bodes educated brains sound health and long the problem if that tfold does not the increase in produo fviy. figure must be expressed in terms enormously larger.
 Productivity in commodities proceeds in number of improvement of roads, numerous railroads and other of communication; improvement of parcel post express inventions, forces of better using materials improvement in the products nature for instance in breeding hens that egs, that give milk and grain that the and is in less risk of the enemies destroy the crop,like Marquis wheat, which fur has shorter and gives onehird more yield to anS acre
 Despite been there inconcevable inn provemens which may be made, which know how to which ought to be made possible
