 Ear-Plugs And Nose Bones
 The practice of piercing the lips and ear-lobes for the insertion of plugs or disks of wood is common not only in tropical South America (where such plugs are often four inches in diam eter), but in other parts of the world Nowhere, however, is this kind of decoration carried to such lengths as in New Guinea, where the coal-black man-eating natives deform their fea- lures in the most extraordinary way, wearing bones a foot long through their noses and sometimes attaching to their ears weights which cause the lobes to hang below the shoulders. In that strange country the man who by artifices of the sort can make himself most horribly hideous is considered the most to be admired.
 It may seem hard to believe, but it is a fact that the negro savages of Africa pay much more attention to keeping their teeth clean than does the average American or European.

Billion Feet of
Timber Used By
Cal. Fruit Growers

The vast extent of cooperation in
California is attested by the recent
order for nearly billion feet OF
timber from the Lassen national for
est reserve placed by the Cooperative
Fruit Growers Supply company OF
Los Angeles. This is the largest
single contract for timber ever ne
gotiated with the government, having
a stumpage value of $3,500,000.00
The timber cut from these trees will
be used to make orange and lemon
boxes for the California Fruit Grow
ers' Exchange.
This enormous quantity of lumber
to be used by the California cooper
atives is sufficient to build frame
bungalows on fifty-foot lots on both
sides of a street 1926 miles long, ano
is thirty per cent more than the an
nual imports of lumber at Los An

INEFFICIENCY OF
LABOR "PIFFLE''

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-There
are few statistical subjects more dis
cussed than efficiency of American
Labor" and there is none upon which
we know less, said Ethelbert Stewart,
United States commissioner of la
Dor statistics, in a recent speech,
which is published in Monthly Labor
Review. issued by the bureau of la
Dor statistics.
"On the one hand we hear much
of the superiority of the American
workman: on the other we hear
much of the degeneration of Ameri-
can labor, of loafing on the job, of
job making, etc, When we ask for
proof, for figures, for output per
man, per hour or per day taken from
the records that are the basis of pay
rolls, we are told, 'Oh, l have no
figures, but what i state is a matter
of common knowledge
"'Common knowledge can not be
tabulated. 1t can not be worked up
into an index number nor can per-
centages of increase or decrease from
year to year be worked out.
Labor cost per unit of produc-
tion in any industry as expressed
in money, while interesting and eco
nomically important, is not illumin-
ating on the subject of labor effic
iency. The question as to whether
the output per man per hour in
shoe factories has increased or de-
creased since 1913 can not be deter
mined by the labor cost per pair of
shoes.
Common labor in the United
States may be less efficient than it
was 80 or 40 years ago, but it is no
longer American. In such industries
as the iron and steel, coal mining,
railroad construction, brick making
and textile mills, and a great many
other of our basic industries, immi
grant labor. of low-grade efficiency,
was sought for and the industries in
consequence overrun by races physi-
cally weak. as, for example, the
Italian, unframed in any industrial
occupation as was practically all of
the southwestern Europe immigra-
ton.
"You hear it said that before the
war man would lay 1900 bricks
day, that in Chicago you could get
1000 bricks laid per man per day,
and now 500 and $50 are all you can
get. The fact is that any statement
which does not go beyond the num-
ber of brick laid by man in day
does not convey any adequate infor-
nation.
at all depends upon whether a
bricklayer was working on an g.
inch wall. 16-inch wall, 20-inch
wall or 24-inch wall, whether he
was laying to line and filling in
behind his own work or whether he
was laying to a line and some one
else was filing in behind him, wheth-
er he was laying face brick or build
ing a dead wall.
