"Stubendous" Waste

The indictment of American industry,
on grounds of waste through inefficency
is all VINO too true. 1t is disting ished
technologist, Mr.. L. w. Wallace, of Washing
ton, D. c., who most recently has pressed the
charge. Addressing the American Society Of
Mechanical Engineers at their convention in
Chicago he described as "stupendous' the
wastage which the application of engineering
knowledge would prevent, and for which the
public we'll as investors pay millions and
billions of dollars. There is, of course, but
one effectual remedy-education. When
science and it's resources are duly appreciat-
ed, and when there are enough trained hands
and trained minds to apply it's principles, the
waste will fast diminish.

DOROTHY DIX TALKSA WOMAN'S MONEY


the money is gone, and there is as little
profit in crying over split dollars as there is
IN crying over split milk.
Such man needs to be taken care of
as if he were child, and his wife can only
do it by keeping a death-grip on her own
pocketbook. Moreover, the woman who in
herits money owes something to the parents
who toiled and saved that their children
and their children's children might have
the advantages that money gives, and that
perhaps they did not have in their youth
The man who lays up fortune is thinking
for the future. He is thinking of his grand
children, and planning to give them an edu-
cation and start in life, and his daughter
is in honor bound to fulfill his desires as
far as she can. She has no right to turn
the money over to a stranger to waste, and
so risk her children's inheritance.
OF course, it will be said that now and
then wife does give her property to her
husband, and he turns a few thousand dol
lars into fortune. True. There are ex-
ceptions to every general rule, but the man
who has the money-making instinct would
make his fortune anyhow, and taking it by
and large, the risk is too great. Nine times
out of ten, the woman is better off to keep
her own.
But the woman who inherits money
should play fair with it. She should keep
the principal, but spend the income for the
benefit of the family, and not selfishly use
it for her own benefit.
If she has enough to be personally in
dependent, she should not expect her hus-
band to pay all her bills, or those of the
house. Her money should be the velvet
that enables the family to live more COM
fortably, and indulge in Injuries that they
could not otherwise have.
And the clinching argument for a
woman's keeping her own money is because
there is no other thing under the sun that
brings with it so much self-respect, such
an ineffable sense of independence, as to
have your own money that you can spend
as you please, and for which you do not
have to give an account to any human be-
ing. No matter how generous and kind a
husband may be, his wife has a sense of
degradation and humiliation every time she
has to go to him for money. The woman
who has chance to save herself that, and
doesn't do it, ought to have her head oper-
ated on for the sillies
Also a man treats every woman who
has money in her own right, differently
from the one who hasn't. This instructive
kowtowing to money extends even to wives,
and SO the woman who wishes to keep her
husband on his good behavior, does we'll
to keep him interested in her.
There is no financial problem more COM
plicated than the domestic one, but the
woman who keeps her money may be sure
Of one thing. She is playing safe game,
instead of taking a flier on her comfort
and happiness.

THE RETURN TO NORMALLY
By DR.. Frank Crane

The fundamental force of the world
is health. By and by everything gets we'll
And the world which has been desper-
ately sick is going to get we'll.
Unseen and not spectacular the vast re-
cuperatipe forces of humanity are gathering
strength.
Those who say that business in the
United States will never be what it was,
that never get back again to the
gold old days of 1913, are mistaken. We
shall get back to them and go far beyond
them.
So in time will the rest of the world
recover. The British Empire will solve it's
perplexing problems, both Irish and in
dustrial and once more discharge efficiently
the task for which destiny has designed it.
France will bloom again, Italy will come
out of her troubles. Even Germany, Rus
STA and all Balkanized Europe will settle
down to work and to production.
1t doesn't take prophet to foretell
this All it takes is a knowledge of the
quite apparent laws of social progress.
If we can only, by some sort of concert
of nations, remove the possibility of another
war there is no doubt of eventual prosperity
everywhere.
But we must not look for this too soon
Mr.. Horace S. Wilkinson, at the head of
the Cruclble Steel company, uttered some
very sound opinions recently. Mr.. Wilkin-
son, at the head of any army of 40 900 pro-
ducers, ought to know what he is talking
about He understands the steel business
and steel might be called the backbone of
all business.
He said in substance:
''The world is, in a very bad way and
it is not going to get well in a hurry. The
affairs of readjustment are in operation and
readjustment takes time 1t only takes a
minute to break your arm, but it takes
a good many weeks for your arm to get
we'll.
"And there can be no permanent recov-
cry until everybody gets rid of the septic
ideas engendered by the war. We all spread
too much. Every one seems to think that
the inflated profits and wages and prices
OF war times are going to continue. They
will not because they are not sound.
ALREADY the producers know this, and
have trimmed down expenses mercilessly
and cut prices. The retailer has not yet
fully realized this. He has stocked up goods
at a high price and he is not willing to take
his loss and mark them down. The result
is what you call buyers strike. Railroads
and manufacturing concerns will not buy a
million dollars worth of supplies when
they think that by waiting they can get
them for half million. For the same rea-
son a man will not pay $12 for hat and
SIS for pair of shoes and $3.50 for suit
OF clothes no matter what the retailer had
to pay for them himself, because he knows
in time these prices must be scaled down.
''The only way to get universal pros
perity is for everybody to accept the fact
that he must readjust his business. He
must take his loss and start over and the
longer he postpones this the worse it will
be for him and for the country.
There is no doubt of eventual pros
perity, but that will only come when there
is universal acceptance of the situation
and the whole business world gets down to
sound basis''

PROVERBS FOR WORKERS
Bv H. AddinetOn Bruce
VIOU are disposed to rebel because 1

v1OU are disposed to rebel because life
7 imposes upon you the duty of work You
perhaps try to evade work as much as
possible, deeming idlenesS pleasure and work
pain.
But the experience of centuries contradictS
this assumption. Only workers, indeed, can
really know pleasure. And those who succeed
in evading work are the most successful in
wooi1g pain.
Or, as has rightly been insisted in proverbs
coming down to us from ancient times:
Better lost your labor than your time in
idlenesS.
Work has bitter root, but sweet fruit.
hundred years of idleneSS are not worth
one hour we'll employed
He who follows idleness shall find it the
path to distress.
IdlenesS must thank itself if it go barefoot.
1t is more painful to do nothing than some
thing.
Idle folk have the most labor.
Rest is won only by work.
These are not mere epigrammatc sayings,
coined by some clever phrase maker. They
spring from the folk-soul of many people in
many lands Born often in agony of heart
they would warn later generations of the folly
of breaking natures fundamental law-Work.
MOT is II enough 10 WORK from recognition
of the necessity for working. One must also
learn to love his work if he would fully profit
from it. Again ponder the testimony of the
proverb philosophers:
1t is not the heart that does the work.
He is bad workman who cannot talk work
He never wrought good days work who
went grumbling about it,
Di1igent work makes Skllful workman.
This last saying refers, of course, more to
the manner OF working than to the mood in
which the work is done. And manner of
working counts for far more than multitude
of workers seem to think.
One may we'll exclam, in the words of an
old-time Chinese proverb:
Never was good done without much trouble.
Or, with the long gone Greeks:
A work we'll begun is half ended.
Or again, in proverbs culled from various
sources:
work i'll done must be twice done.
Slow work produces fine goods
Mighty work must be done with few words.
Do the head work before the hand work.
Make no more haste than good speed.
Whoever is in hurry showeth the thing he
is about is too big for him.
Put stout heart to a steep hill.
These few gleanings from proverbia1 wisdom
commend to any among my readers who
perchance shirk work, undervalue it, or frank
ly hold it in detestaton instead of esteeming
it as all should

A Large Poultry Farm

Several years ago practically every coun-
ty in Georgia was manfesting interest in
breeding fancy poultry, but the fever was
only temporary. Those who remained in the
business are deriving a big profit from their
investment The Weekly Bostonian says:
1.-THE Royal Poultry Farm, owned by F.
L. Bradshaw and DR.. Roy Ramsear, is being
developed into one of the largest poultry
farms in the South. This company moved
into their new quarters just after the first
Of the year and since that time they have
improved their grounds, put up new fences
and cross fences, built one large barn or
supply house, one feed house, seven or eight
new poultry houses, and have put a good
many hundred dollars in new equipment Of
various kinds"

Against Pigeon Shooting

English public opinion is being stirred by
concerted attack by the press against pigeon
shooting, and as a result a bill has been in-
PRODUCED in Parliament which would make
this form of sport illegal
The storm arose over contest recently at
Chatham, where live birds we're released from
traps for a shooting competition Support for
the proposed anti-shooting measure is prom
ised by the government and is being warmly
given by the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.
Agitation against this form of sport has
extended to Monte Carlo, where many upper
class English spend part of the winter. and
where the practice is said to be an institution.
The Prince of Monaco is reported to be SYM
pathetic to the attempt to eliminate the live
pigeon shooting and to substitute clay pig
cons.

Wilson Club

Concentrating the work accomplished
during the war and the peace conference by
ex-President Wilson, who was a member or
the class of 1879 at Princeton University, a
meeting was held on the campus to organize
a Woodrow Wilson club. A considerable
number of the faculty and student body att
tended the organization meeting, which was
held for the purpose of electing officers and
adopting a constitution.
Some fifty colleges and universities of the
United States are now forming similar CLUBS
to commemorate ex-President Wilson's efforts
for worldwide peace The clubs intend to
establish Woodrow Wilson scholarships in the
various collegiate institutions throughout the
country similar to the Rhodes scholarships
in England.

Lenine's abandonment of government con-
troll of foodstuffs came too late to relieve
the situation in Bolshevik Russia, accord
ing to letters received in Berlin from FAM
lily which has lived in Petrograd throughout
the Bolshevik regime.
1.-THE conditions are worse for us than
they were when food was issued on cards.,
one letter states. eve are told now that we
may sell food without violating government
regulations. But there are no food shops.
And the peasants about Petrograd have lit
tie food to SELL They don't want paper rubles.
"They even refuse all sorts of manufac-
tured articles in exchange for what little
food they may have. They are afraid to give
it up, as they are not sure they can get an
other crop the -oming year.
"The Petrograd district is so sterile that
little is produced here in normal times.
Transportation is so bad, and the peasants
in the grain districts have been so badly
treated by the Bolshevik requisitioning par
ties that the government simply couldn't
continue the small rations it was issuing on
cards. So it told us to do for ourselves
job which it could not accomplish with all
it's power and military force.
THE re-establishment of free trade and
lions have been reduced will not put food
into cities which have no supplies, which
have adequate railway connections with
grain districts and no means of reconciling
peasants who attribute most Of their trou-
bles to the two great cities in Russia and
want to starye them out"
