only real hope of attaining that end,
that I can see, is the elimination OF
wastes, not only in production, bu.
in distribution.
ut is a problem of industry in
the group or mass. There lies the
real hope Of re-establishing the lost
economic balance in the United
States. Every economist realizes
it.
Take the case of the 70 kinds of
bricks reduced to even. Each of
a thousand brick works might be
economically efficient considered
individually, but the industry as a
whole was wasteful because it was
wasting time, energy, capital, stor.
age and material in making so many
different models of bricks. Obvi-
ously, no manufacturer could make
such a reduction by himself and
hope to survive in competition.
"A larger example of the general
problem of simplifieation lies in the
effort of the railways toward stand
ard dimensions of cars.
THE elimination of wastes of that
kind are important, but they are
small compared with some others.
Take the present labor waste of two
or three million idle men, or the
waste at times flowing from pur-
posely restricted effort. 1t is one
of the most fearful wastes that can
come to US. Labor once lost is lost
forever. 1t involves dealing with
the effects of the great business
cycles with a view of relieving their
intensity. In prosperous times we
not only increase the production of
consumable goods, but we increase
the facilities Of their production.
We might we'll conserve labor by
deferring plant extension to periods
when the demand for consumable
goods has relaxed. If we we're to
hold back the larger operations on
great public utilities, and public
works, for periods of seven to ten
years, a 10 per cent stored-up re-
serve of consumable goods would
carry US through al era of depres-
sion in their production, during
which labor would be largely d.

HOOVER ON WASTE.

Herbert Hoover is an industrial
engineer. He is also something
more. He is by all means the bus
lest member of President Harding's
cabinet, and also the most popular
Economics appeals to him and he is
a popular Preacher on that subject
Recently he has been preaching to
capitalists through the Magazine OF
Wall Street, and he predicts lean
days ahead for capital unless waste
can be eliminated in industrial pro.
duction and distribution. He says
The war and its aftermath left
us with an enormous departure from
the old relation of producers price
to consumers price. The costs of
production are not so much more
than they were, but the consumers
prices are, even now, after consid-
cradle readjustment, from 80 to so
per cent-in some commodities even
IS or 100 per cent -- more than
formerly more than in 1913. If
the 1913 relation of production and
consumption prices was fair, it is
evident that we now have an enor-
nous distortion. That distortion
bears heavily on the producer and
consumer. One or the other must
bear the brunt of the load. The at
tainment of normality in trade and
in economic life depends upon the
reduction of the price distortion.
Nov, during the last seven years
we have added about $4,000, 000, 900
to our total annual tax bill in these
United States. If you put the an
nual national production at $5o,ooo.-
o 5000, it is possible to calculate
at once that taxation accounts for
at least 20 units out Of the abnormal
spread with which we have to deal.
1.-THE more of these units you can
eliminate the nearer you bring the
cost of commodities to the consum-
er into line with the return to the
producer. If you can't bring the
two costs into close approximation
of their old relation, we shall, not
to mention other groups, reduce our

Some earnest student of human.

cial service of any city in the world
He was not referring to the Squire OF
DANES. Yet the unique nobility of this
calling is self-evident. Consider its
requirements: from early afternoon un.
til past midnight, the squire must be-
vote all of his talents and energy to
the entertainment of lonely, unattached
ladies': He must escort them hither
and thither, in Difference to their com
mands, to theaters and cabarets, ho-
tells, dances and chop suey joints, to
famous downtown restaurants and ia
nous uptown roof gardens-anywhere

good time. They may be homely and
badly dressed; he must pay them deli
cate compliments. They may be clum-
sy and awkward; he must glide them
safely and deity about q ballroom
floor. They may be dull and slightly
deaf; he must keep up a stimulating
conversation. Or they may be beauti-
full, gracious and rich; he must Keep
his distance and never presume upon
the acquaintance.
Unde the circumstances, it is not
surprising to learn from one who has
studied the species that the profess
sional Squire of Danes is born-not
made. There are only a few Of them
IN New York-never enough to supply
the demand-and even these are al
ways threatening to quit their calling
for a less exacting trade. They are
not to be confused with the smooth
voiced lounge lizards who haunt the
cabarets and dance halls at night in an
unofficial capacity, nor with the flash
lily dressed hangers-on in some of the
so-called dancing academies on Broad
way. Women sometimes employ these
types as escorts, it is true, but they do
SO with great risk to their diamonds,
good names and other negotiable Sc
curities.
The Squire of Danes, on the other
hand, is reliable, discreet, and well
versed in social etiquette. His dress
and conduct are strictly conservative.
so that, if suddenly confronted by a
friend or relative, a woman can easily
introduce him as a perfectly proper
social acquaintance. His services are
not in demand by flappers or women
who are permanently addicted to jazz,
but by the many lone women, young
and middle aged, who come to New
York from far-off parts of the coun-
try, lured by the widely-heralded at
fractions of metropolitan life.

verted to the production of enduring
wealth. In this way we could MAIN
tain an even tenor and secure even
production of its commodities. Nor
are these theoretical ideas. They
are in actual use by several large
concerns, and by certain states.
"One Of the wider fields of waste
saving is in identification. The
superpower investigation on the
Atlantic seaboard points the way.
Superpower is possible in many
other sections Of the country. Very
few of u people have any appre-
citation of the possible results and
the added efficiency, productivity,
safety and advance, that could be
obtained by the enlargement of our
entire electrical equipment. With
the prospect of developing from 10
to IS millions of h~ydroelectric
horsepower; the consolidation OF
hundreds. even thousands of minor
plants, the enormous savings to be
made through the substitution of
electrical power for steam in trans
portation and industry, there is a
probability of making larger saw
ings of waste here than in any other
country.
at will take widespread popular
information and education to bring
our people up to the point of under
taking the cooperation involved.
There lie in them no restraint of
competition-quite to the contrary.
1t is easier to grasp the conception
that something ought to be done
than to decide what to do.
"One of the first things to be
done is to persuade capital of the
advisability, even the necessity, OF
undertaking these major elm
mating projects. The investor must
be educated up to them. and the
banker must comprehend the waste
fulness of idle or nonessentially
applied capital. To do that 1t will
first be necessary to bring to them
a conception of the brutal truth
that there are lean days permanently
ahead of capital if the spread be-
tween producers and consumers
prices cannot be sweepingly e
duced.
Capital is stored up, preserved
labor, surplus labor; and in the ma
ture of things it gets its pay after
living labor has been served. The
way the world now goes there won't
be much left for it, even with a re-
duced portion for living labor. Every
man who owns a bond or a share
of stock should be interested in
eliminating waste. Rough calcula-
tions indicate that by large-scale
waste elimination we can in effect
release 80 per cent of the power
required for the present volume Of
production. Putting it another way,
capital would be 80 per cent more
productive"
