policy for increasing output. The S.- titude of opposition or indifference to proper standards for production should be changed to a frank and ag- gressive insistence on such standards: there should be a scientific exaina- ton of the basis for wages; certain union rules should be modified in re- gard to machine operation, appren- tices and craft workers. distinctions which result in restriction of output individual workers should realize their responsibilities for waste resulting from i'll health and disregard of safe ty measures"
 Declaring that the annual economic loss in the country through prevent able diseases and death amounted to S3, 900, 900, ,000, the report urged a more general use of safety methods that 75 per cent. of the deaths and serious accidents in industry could be thus prevented.
 Plant idleness came in for its share of the blame for waste. Tn the print ing industry alone the report said an investment of more than s100.000. 900 in stocks of paper carried to meet trade requirements could be cut in half through standardization in the brands of paper.
 The building industry was said to be about, 60 per cent. efficient. In the shoe industry the waste is put at about 35 per cent. The average plant in the metal trades group is from 25 to 90 per cent. behind the best plant in output per employe.
 In the ready-made clothing indus try. the report said, it should be rela- lively easy to save three-quarters of a million dollars a day-an increase of 40 per cent. in effectiveness. The value of tht output in this industry is put at $500, 10000 a year.

MANAGEMENT SEEN AS VERY WAS7EFUL
Industrial Report Shows Workers
 to Be More Economical

st. Louis. June 3.-Responsibility for more than 50 per cent of the | waste in industrial processes. which is causing enormous annual losses to the nation. can he placed at the door of the management and less than 25 per cent at the door of labor. declared a report of the American Engineering Councils committee on elimination of waste in industry. made public today at a meeting of the councils executive board.
 The report showed that the margin of unemployment amounted to moro than 1.00O,00O men: that billions of dollars were tied up in idle equipment and that high labor turnover was a rough index on one of the commonest wastes.
 Both employer and employees re- strict output, it was said, but the an- nual losses through waste by conflicts between them is much less than popu- larly supposed.
 Nationwide machinery to obtain continuous information concerning unemployment conditions throughout the country is declared necessary by tho report.
 The inquiry was in charge of a committee of Is headed by ]. Parke channing of New York as chairman. and H.. w. Wallace of Washington. executive secretary Of the American engineering Council of the Federated American Engineering Societies as vice-chairman.

 "A national industrial information service should be established to fur nlsh more timely, regular and com- piete information covering current production and consumption and stocks or commodity: a national sta- tistical service should be established covering employment requirements. the national program for industrial rehabilitation should be encouraged and should offer opportunities for education and placement to those having physical defects as we'll as those handicapped because of indus trial accidents: a nation-w wide program or industrial standardization should be encouraged in conjunction with fn- dustrial interests: body of principles should be accepted which could be developed for the adjustment and set clement of labor disputes"
 Public support for the movement the report said should be brought about through public recognition of a greater stabilization of style to lessen the demoralizing effect of seasonal fluctuations. as well as a more even distribution throughout the year of public demand.

NEW CITIZENS VICTIMIZED
Federal Clerks in Chicago Are Ac- cuscd Of Selling Naturalization Papers to Those Seeking Rights.

cuscd Of Selling Naturalization
 Papers to Those Seeking Rights.
 Chicago. June 3.-A conspiracy to victimize applicants for naturalization papers, which is said to have netted many thousands of dollars to its orig inators, is being investigated by the Departm ent of Justice.
 Edward J. Zappen. a former em- ploye in the office of the chief clerk of the Circuit court of Cook County, has been arrested and is held in $5,000 bonds, by United States Commissioner Mason. Herman Bartels. chief clerk of the same office is said to have been arrested and released on his own recognizance. while four men incIud- ing other Federal employees are being sought by the agents of the Depart ment of Justice. Assistant United States Attorney Edwin Wiesl in charge of the investigation said that several prominent men were involved and that evidence insuring their indictment had been obtained.
 A few days ago M. P. McNichols, a clerk in the Federal naturalization of flee was dismissed.
 According to the stories told by vic- tims of the scheme, money was de- manded for naturalization papers. Most of the victims, it is said, were former saloon keepers. One of these men was forced to pay $200 to obtain natural ization papers on the ground that he had violated the prohibition laws. These men were told by the ring" that they could not be naturalized as the records of violations of the prohi- bition laws were on file against them. But with the payment of sums Of money generally s2o0, they would be told that the records could be destroy ed. The saloon men invariably paid the money, it is said.
 One confession is said to have been made.

PAYING FOR THE WAR

The war did much to increase taxation in
every country, even in those not drawn into
the battle line. You suspected as much. YOU
say? To be sure! But did you suspect, too,
that war taxation hits winners harder than it
does losers?
Expressed in American dollars the British
pay the highest war tax, S76.5O per capita at
present exchange; at par it would be s1o7
The American pays $3.50 as his annual share
OF the war cost The Frenchman pays 1924. so
which under normal exchange rates would be
$80.40. These three, as generally supposed,
were among the winners in the late unpleasant
ness Germany was on the losing side. Yet
the average German pays war tax of Sc so,
at the present rate of exchange of German
marks.
The Briton pays, in American dollars, more
than twelve times as much in war taxes as the
German Only the Italian, among the victors,
pays fewer dollars $3.50 per year, per person
However, it is authoritativey reported from
Europe that the German has far more trouble
with his war taxation of Alta marks than the
Frenchman has with his 416 francs-and the
reparation committee hasn't told the German
the worst

DO YOUR FIRST GARDENING NOW

Someone has said that "soil, seed, and toll
will make garden" Nothing is farther from
the truth. With that combination you have but
three-fourths of the ingredients necessary to
produce garden crops when they are wanted
and in the largest measure You must include
brains in the list Of things necessary to garden
making.
The difference between good garden and
poor one usually is the difference between a
good gardener and one who does no early plan
ming, nor late cultivation.
Early planning, garden experts point out, has
little in common with early spring; it is some
thing intimately connected with winter, with
the evenings when the family congregates
round the dining-room table and wonders when
this cold weather will end.
There is, assert these same garden teachers,
no better gardening time than right now - this
very evening For garden planning is not a
thing one gets away with by moments effort.
One must go at the subject with plenty of time
to do it Justice There is need for an accum-
ulation of seed catalogs and reference to garden
books one'may borrow at the library, and con-
sultation with family tastes. Also there is
necessary a survey of ground, ones own back
yard, or nearby vacant lot And, by the way,
Just as the early bird agets the worm, SO does
the early garden planner get the nearest vacant
lot. Before going after the lot it may be well
to learn if the soil there is gardenable If that
lot was idle last summer there may have been a
reason; poor SOIL too much shade, too low and
damp.
Our friend, the artist, who does annual car
ICONS poking fun at the seed catalog readers,
might as we'll laugh at the law student because
he reads Blackstone, or the physician because
he studies the anatomy of the human body. If
one hopes to produce good garden he must
study seeds.
He must know that good seeds are the only
sort to buy, and that good seeds are seeds from
well-bearing, strong plants, capable of repro
ducng He must know that some seeds pro-
duce early and some late; that some must be
grown in warmed, sheltered seedbeds so they
may be transplanted to the garden after danger
of frost is over, and that others may be sown
very early outdoors even if there should be
possibilities of other "cold spells"
Yes, the seed catalog is a fine textbook for
garden planners to study 1t is nicely illus
trated. The pictures are highly encouraging -
if one could produce tomatoes like those the
artist pictures in the seed catalog, one you'd
have no other worlds to conquer!

ONCE THEY USED TALLoW CANDLES.

A conspicuous example of the officeholdng
class In Chicago voices in opposition to the city
manager plan: Chicago never had city man
ager, and look where Chicago is today second
largest city in the New World prosperous, pop
ulous, popular" Whichis as good an argument
as one may use if he wishes to stand pat on
what he has. In the tallow candle days there
were those who objected to the kerosene lamp
and later, the coal oil burners viewed with fear
the approach OF the gas light and the electric
bulb.
But
During the last 10 years, 100 American
cities and towns have changed their municipal
charters and adopted the city manager form of
government" says the National Municipal
League, adding: mo city which has tried this
plan has gone back to the old way" Probably
for the same reason we do not throw away ou1
electric lighting system and bring back candle
sticks.
The city manager plan is no new thing in
America Indeed, it is so old and tested that
already new profession has sprung up, that
of city managership. Thirty-six times men
who did well as managers of small cities have
been called to larger cities at increased salaries
Ut these managers, several have gained promo
tlon twice and three are now in their fourth
city. Thus the nation is developing experts in
municipal government; no wonder that polite
ians protest!
The day is rapidly closing on the habit of
choosing municipal executive because he's a
whale of politician. Nor will the city discard
that man every year or two, and experiment
with man who never before has been tried at
the job.
When it becomes necessary to employ ~ow
manager the city will go to the city man
profession and hire the best obtainable. It will
do as business concerns do when a manager
ship is to be filled; hire an experienced mana
ger. The 100 smaller cities now are training
a corps OF good managers from which larger
cities may choose just as soon as they leave
behind them their tallow candle ideas of mum
cipal government
