Warren Hall, M. D., Ph. D.

Dr. Hall agrees with Mir Edison that education has failed so far as fit ting the man to the job goes. There is no excuse for the Square peg in the round hole,' says he. The pegs can be fitted right if the thing is gone course, being along the lines of ap- piled psychology.
 When Dr. Hall enters a factory he puts the whole force, from executives down, through a test of seven ques- tons. This is the occupatona1 test, and determines how efficient they are in the positions they occupy. Then which shows whether or not they are in the right positions. They are then graded into classes according to the degree of intelligence displayed by the answers to those given in their various questionnaires. They are then taught to handle themselves in their work so as to get better results with less expenditure of effort It is a fact, asserts Dr. Hall that everyone uses too much of that force to secure very minimum results.
 Putting it roughly. psychology as applied to industry is simply the per feet coordination of mind and mus cte''
 pr. Hall received his M D. from the Missouri Medical college and his Ph. D. from Berkeley univ versity He is living in New York at present and is in Bridgeport preparing for a series of lectures which are to be given un- der the auspices of the Business and Professional Women's club. ASsoci- ated with Dr. Hall is pr. Walter J. Thompson, a. sincere young Tnan, who is devotee of the doctors and an should mean so much to industry and the world.

much more satisfactory way than be- fore This is a matter of record.
 The New York World carried re- gently a story about Thomas A. Edi- son, famous inventor.
 When Edison completed his two years as honorary Chairman of the Naval Consulting Board, says the World, he journeyed back to his plant in West Orange and said he was amazed to find the efficiency of the organization had been lowered dur ing his war service
 1T found the efficiency of the or ganizaGion required rehabilitation It had been lowered because of the neg ligence of those who were supposed to be watching and because of the mistakes of untrained and careless; workers.
 'I at once prepared an intelligence test in the form of a questionnaire, which I supplied to my employees and to college graduates, to whom l offered employment if they sealed to my requirements.
 '"The result of this test has been astonishingfy disappointing Men who have been through college I fino to be amazingly ignorant. They don't seem to know anything. When I find that any one fails to come up to the standard I have set I give him a weeks pay and fire him.
 Most employers do not know the possibilities of their worKers because they fail to keep in touch with them. employment of some of my workers.

REFRESHING BATHS

All baths of course are both cleans ing and beau tifying beauty being es- Sentially super cleanliness and daintt- ness But some varieties of baths are particularly stimulating and refresh ing and beautifying well.
 For instance an oatmeal bath is excellent to bleach the skin and to keep it soft and white. If the skin is dry too, this is to be particularly recommended. The easiest way to take it is to tie up loose oatmeal Tn pieces of cheesecloth and soak these in the bath water. Or use them a. wash cloths, rubbing the milk Of the oatmeal into the skin you bathe- A half pound bag will do for several baths.
 Astringent baths are best when one is reducing. This merely means a hot bath and an assringent rinse cold water. cold salt water. or COG, water to which enough tncture of bendoin has been added to make tt very, very slightly milky.
 Hard water is not good for the skin, so if you cannot purchase hard water soap, keep toilet ammonia in the bathroom and pour a little into

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
BY ANN LISIE.

At that moment in strolled Carlotta Sturges, more hamboyant than usual in a shiny black sailor and a skirt of black and white plaid, topped by a black velvet sport coat Her hair haloed out from under her sailor. Her color flooded up to it. Her gold bags tinkled at her side in most un- businesslike manner.
 "Howdy, Anne! Hello, ktddo!" she cried, heartily They told me over at the other office you were look ing for some documents in evidence, and as I was travelling thence and thlther, l brung 'em with me-
 She flung a fat package on the desk as she spoke. Neal seized it eagerly, and Carlotta, motioning him to his chair. cleared a corner Of his desk and flung herself upon it, to perch there nonchalantly. At once Neal fell to studying his papers. Carlotta turned to me. saying in stage whisper:

 The moment she left the office Neal looked up anxiously. Coming very close he stopped and said in a low voice.
 Anne, you remember Jims dream of buying back the old Harrison place and my difficulty in finding out any thing about it Well, I've a full list of-particulars now. Guess why I had so much trouble in running down the present owner?'
 Why" I asked, and then added eagerly, ''Now it's all clear sailing for Jimmie. That's why you want to lunch with him, isn't it? He will be happy

 Many women say they like bath water that has a very little soda ado- ed to it-but this is drying and should not be used except for those with very oily skins.

Long ex- posture to. heat, cold and moisture produces a purpfish redness of the hands The hands are cold, and pressure with the point of the finger leaves a light colored spot to which the blood very gradually returns, showing a very sluggish circulation in the skin. Yet this condition may co-exist with perfect health.
 Redness may be due to disease, and then 1t may be either diffused or To- caIized Diffused redneSS is seen in many fevers, especially in children; or after full doses of belladonna or hyoscyamus Localized redness is often seen in the flush upon the cheeks of people who have consump- ton, in the redness of one cheek in acute pneumonia, and in the one-sided redess which attends some attacks or nigrainous headache. In certain cases of anemia, called by physicians red chloroSis, the flushing of the face is so marked that at first the exis- tence of a deficiency in the blood may be quite suspected. The dusky red ness of the face and the limited red areas on the nose in chronic alcoholics is familiar.
