LEARN THE NEW WAY

A cynical newspaper humorist re-
Gently remarked that Europe must
have tried to run its affairs with the
advice Of efficiency experts, judging
from the trouble they have been hav-
ing over there
1t is the style these days TO make
jokes about efficiency experts, but
real efficiency is no joke.
No sane business man wants to
continue with old methods if new
and better methods are discovered.
He'll use the better way no matter
whether he calls it efficiency" or
something else.
A mans brain works best between
the hours Of eight and eleven in the
morning. Knowing that, it requires
no great effort of reasoning to decide
that it is best 10 tackle the hardest
work Of the day in the morning.
1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that a change of task is refresh-
ing. Variety" says the proverb, "is
the spice of life Therefore when
the mind grows stale on one task
it is beneficial TO change for a time
to something entirely different. DO
not try to force your mind to con
centrate overong on any one prob
lem. Do something else for an hour
or two and you1l return TO the first
matter with renewed enthusiasm and
vigor and freshness You'll save time
in the end and accomplish more.
Efficiency" means the elimination
OF waste-the elimination Of every
thing which interieres. DO you want
10 continue to waste time. to waste
money, to waste effort? Certainly not
Change your ways and be efficient.
An efficiency expert is one who
has studied the matter of saving.
There are good advisers and poor ad-
viscrs. II you need advice, choose
a man who is qualified TO give it.
However, there is no need OF maxi
ing any mystery about efficiency.
Simply get the thing done in IN"
best way.

THE sIMON.PuRE LOw-BROw

An ordinary band came down the
street, with the base drum boom
boom booming and the horns blat-
antly bla-bla-blaing. Everybody on the
street fell into step, including the
man who rather prided himself on
never keeping step with anybody
Away he went, spring in his knees,
youth in his heart, freedom in his
ears. He was absorbed, he was shar-
ing a general emotion. Suddenly he
realized what he was doing-runnlng
with the crowd. He was participating
in and actually enjoying vulgar
sensation. These people all around
him We're sheep-common, ordinary.
He had nothing in common with
them-ughi He was fifty years ahead
of them the stupid plodding mass.
Yet here ne was, keeping step with
the music which thrilled them. I'm
mediately and deliberately he got out
Of step; and all the way down the
street. as soon as he found his body
automatically getting into step again,
he got out Of step once more. 1t was
irritating, but the man told himself
he was winning u victory. Was he?
No! He was simply being a snob.
Even his socallede intellecutalism was
real snobbery. springing from inabil-
! ity or unwillingness to enjoy the
pleasures of the rest of us. His OBJ
lection to Omar Khayyam, to the
comic supplements, to the movies,
TO the popular magazines, to blaring
bands and jolly crowds is not funda-
mental, but self-made, and the real
truth is that the man is not cultured
at all-but hopelessly low-brow. The
crowd has it ON him from the ground
up.

ter of population, as disclosed by the
1920 census, is located in the extreme
southeast corner of Owen county, In
diana, 83 miles southeast of the town
OF Spencer, the census bureau an

During the last decade the center
of population continued to move west
ward, advancing 9.8 miles in that di-
rection and about one-hfth OF mile
north from Bloomington, Ind, where
is was located by the census OF 1910;
The bureau attributed the westward

ly to the increase of more than 1000
coo in the population of the state OF
California"
Geographically speaking, the, bureau
said, the new center OF population IS
located where the parallel OF latitude
80 degrees 10 minutes and II seconds
north interesects the meridian of longl-
ture 50 degrees 43 minutes and IS sec
onds west This would place the center
near the little village of Whitehall, APP

WOES OF DRY OFFICIALS
LAID BEFORE CONGRESS
COMMISSIONERS COME LAINS
OF LACK OF STATE AND MU-
NICIPAL COOPERATION.

WASHINGTON, D. C-The ditfl-
culties of the enforcement of national
prohibition are revealed in the pub
lished hearings in the first deficiency
appropriation bill, which the house
committee on appropriations made
public today According to the testi-
mony of William M. Williams, COM
missioner of internal revenue, the led
eral bureau still lacks the necessary
cooperation of state and municipal OF
ficials which was contemplated under
the Volstead act.
Commissioner Williams asked for a
deficiency appropriation of ST 10000
to cover the excess expenses OF his
office for the fiscal year ending June
80 next The prohibition office had a
regular appropriation of $4,500,00O for
the year. In the deficiency bill report
ed today, which carries a cut in prac-
tically all estimates, the house COM
mittee allows prohibition deficiency
of only $1,000,000, cutting the esti-
mates by 100000.
ia More Agents Asked.
Asking for at least ia additional
enforcement officers for the current
fiscal year, Commissioner Williams
and NJ. F. West, supervisor of &C
counts, said there were approximately
1900 prohibition employees in the bu-
reau and in the field at the present
time
"If the state officials and the mu
nicipal and local officers will give us
the cooperation that was contemplate
ed under the Volstead act" said Com
missioner Williams, 1--WE can make a
reasonably good showing with this
number of men (including the increase
asked.) After all, the success OF pro-
hibition will depend upon the cooper
alton of state and local officials,

A delegation of rabbis from New

prohibition commissioner, regarding
the PRONUNCIATION of regulations per-
hitting the Withdrawals OF sacramen-
tai wines required for the observance
OF Jewish holidays, which are to be-
gin in about six weeks. The confer
ence was satisfactory, according to the
rabbis, and the necessary permits III

An hour later the ladies day ladies
