One Minute Essay

The national museum at Washington
has recently placed on display an in
teresting collection of prehistoric pot
terry and other antiques from Mexico.
There are some 500 specimens, most
of them earthenware vessels that are
considered remarkable for their sym
metry of form and their artistic decor
alton. They came from burial places be-
meath the floors of ancient houses in
the Casas Grandes (great houses dis
trict of Chihuahua. 1t is believed that
they were placed in the graves as NOR
tuary offerings. With the pottery are
stone axes and hammers, crude mills
for grinding grain, ornaments Of shell
and brightly colored bits of stone etc.
Nothing is known of these prehis
toric people except what has been dis
closed by meager archaeological discov-
cries. Evidently they were swallowed
up in oblivion long before the coming
of the first Europeans. AT the time of
cortez s conquest of the country moth
ing remainedSof their habitations ex-
ccpt mounds of earth and stone, so
covered with trees and shrubbcry that
their real identity was hidden.

WORKING EFFICIENCY

Santa Ana Register: More interest
ing even than the stories of record au-
tomobile production are figures show
ing the productivity of labor at pres
ent compared with the boom period.
Detroit dispatches say that the Ford
plant is turning out more cars than
ever before, with much smaller pay
roll. The Dodge plant is said. to be
making as many cars a day with $4,000
men as it used to with $4,000. Other
plants report similar situation.
This is not peculiar to the automo-
bile industry, either. 1t is true of IN.
dustry in general. and has attracted
special notice in the building industry.
The improvement is partly, no doubt,
the result of economic pressure. When
work BECAME slack aad jobs became
Imperial Valley press., 1922-07-01

competitive again, it was natural to
work a little harder. Business and pro-
fessional men have done the same
thing, under the stress of necessity.
But such speeding up is probably for
the most part unintentional and un'
conseious-a phase of the new psychic
logy of a more wholesome business stu
alton. Everybody works harder now. 1t
is in the air.
AS far as the workmen are concerned,
it is unquestionably the way of pros
perity. Nearly all classes of workers
are still getting wages considerably
higher than those before the war. The
way to keep those wages, and to gain
new increases rather than to suffer
decreases, is to produce more.
