The Fall


Months of gold and scarlet and russell
of clear, snappy mornings, warm alter
moons ancs>frosty nights-of harvest
promises fulhq.eaar-aad--of profit and
prosperity for country folk,-that's the
Fall season.
And in these days the profits of the
wears farm work are not hidden be-
hind a loose stone in the chimney.
They are used fist for adding to the
business investment represented by
the farm,-more land or stock, new
buildings and new equipment the
balance goes into solid securities that
pay a conservative but safe return
Under the item of new equipment
comes many things for home improve
ment, things which tend to make fa' m
life more comfortable and more enjoy
able. And among these perhaps no one
thing is being taken up more than the
farm electric plant. In practically
every neighborhood there are numer-
GUS farm families who have completely
equipped their homes with electric SER

other buildings are brightly lighted.
Electricity does the milking, separatlp
churning, pumping; washing, ironing
and sweeping. There's scarcely a
moment in tie day when electricity ISL
making things easier and more comfort
able for some member of the farm
family.
Now the good name of service of
this kind spreads rapidly from one
home to another, and as a result we
see more and more farms this year put,

electric service for the home.

ARE The JAPANESE jAI
E.EEALLYEfi Efficient?
Not If You Judge Them BY
Their Telephones, Says
Julian Street

Although the Western World has be-
gun to take for granted that the Jap
anese have reached an enviable posi-
ton in the world because Of an alleged
efficiency in all matters, a close inspec-
ton of actual facts shows up the Jap
as almost childish. Writing for Nc
Clure's Magazine in an article entitled,
"Are the Japanese Eficient?" Julian
Street, noted traveller and writer, gives
many instances of stupid Japanese in
efficiency, particularly as to tele.
graphs, telephones and transportation.
Tokyo, with a transportation prob
lem which ought easily to be solved,
has utterly inadequate street car sery-
ice," says Mr.. Street. "The rush hour
there is only saved from being as ter
rible as the rush hour'in New York by
the lack of subterranean features.
"But it is in all matters having to
do with communications that Japanese
inefficiency is most strikingly brought
to the notice of strangers. The postal
service is poor, the cable service is ex-
pensive and absurdly slow (when l
was in Japan it took about ten days
to cable to America and get an answer
back), and the telephone service IS un-
believably awful. All these, like the
railroads. are owned and operated by
the Government
at is like opera bouffe. Though the
demand for new telephones far exceeds
the supply, the government makes no
appreciable effort to remedy the situa-
ton Every year an absurdly small
number of lines is added to the exist
ing system. These are assigned by lot
among those who have applied for
them. Thus, if man be lucky in the
draw, he may get telephone within
two or three years. But l know one
gentleman in Tokyo who was not lucky
in the draw. At the ripe age of sixty
seven he applied to the government
for an addition office telephone. The
instrument was installed shortly after
he had celebrated his eightieth birth
day. Long may he live to use it!
"If one be in a hurry to have

to the authorities, but attacks the prob
lem in a manner more direct-either
through a telephone broker or through
advertising. Thus one can get in con-
tact with a person wishing to sell an
installation and number. The num-
Der must, however, be in the exchange
serving the district in which the tele
phone is to be placed.
Though this is a very expensive
method, it is the one usually employed
In Tokyo and other large cities. A tele-
phone for the business district of the

LASTING LESSON IN
NO-ACCIDENT WEEK

The number of mishaps this
week has been considerably
smaller than the average sum-
mer week.
1t is hoped that the results of
the educational work developed
by the observance of No-Acci-
dent week will not only bring
down the list of accidents to a
minimum while the program is
actually in progress, but that it
will lay the foundation of a
movement which will be quietly
conducted with increasing
strength as an important factor
in the daily life of all, not only
motorists.
In other words, the aim is not
merely to create a temporary
and casual frame of mind but
rather to establish the notion
that every individual has his
own part to play in protecting
his own safety and that of his
fellow-citizens. Once such an
idea as this is firmly planted,
psychologists say it gradually
becomes a permanent part of
the mentsl equipment, furnish
ing it's own danger signals and
warnings automatically and un-
consciously.

PLAN DRAFTED TO CUT $500, 600
IN STATE COSTS

A definite State government
reorganization plan, expected to
result in an annual saving to tax
payers of S5O0,0O0, has been
evolved by the Reorganization
Commissions subcommittee,
with the aid of Governor Ritchie.
The sch eme, in the main, was
approved Thursday by the sub
committee and adopted as a
basis for future work on de-
tails.
The plan is entirely different
from that presented by the Chi
cago experts who surveyed the
State government. 1t also in
cludes the adoption Of a fewer
elections program, which itself
will mean a saving of $500, ,OOC
annually.
Many s.of the details, nearly
all of them in fact, have been
worked out tentatively and have
been tentatively incorporate d
in the main. plan, but moditica-
tion and changes may come be-
fore the plan as a whole is form
ally adopted.
In it's present stage the plan
proposes 20 separate depart
ments of government. Four OF
these, however, are maintained
as small entities. under the plan
only because the committee can
not decide at present under.what
major departments to put them.
When this decision has been
made, the number will be re-
duced to 16.
Under this structure, the
committees plan calls for five
main avenues through which
savings can be achieved, and
can be demonstrated even before
the adoption of the plan.
These five, and the savings
estimated to be made through
each of them follow:
Savings on salaries of major
officials, definitely demon
strated in the proposed
plan, $4,000
Savings on salaries of cler-
ical forces and in office rent
by consolidation of vari-
Gus departments, roughly
estimated at least 100000.
Savings estimated to be
made through changes in
financial system, which
will eliminate disbursing
officers and other in the
various State institutions
and departments, $4,000.
Savings estimated by con-
solidation and centraliza-
tion of the work of 18 ex-
amining boards, now paid
by fees, SO,
Savings definitely figured
out by elimination of elec-
tions as recommended by
Reorganization Commits
sion subcommittee study
that question, 100000.
This makes a total of $497, 900,
which, the committee now be-
lieves, can be actually demon
strated under the plan which it
now has before it. In addition,
many other savings, through
greater efficiency, are contem-
plated, but cannot be definitely
demonstrated in advance of the
operation of the plan.
