GERMAN EFFICIENCY
AND OUTPUT ARE LOW
American Steel Man Urges
Return to Ten Hour Day.

PRAGUE, Dec. 25.-'What Germany
needs most is efficiency and production"
said John B. Smiley of New York.
president Of the Poldi Steel Corporation
of Titusville. Pa. when he arrived here.
The former Chancellor declared that
bread is first and then reparations In
the German program. But the program
should place above all a return to
efficiency. For example, workmen In
German steel mills are not showing the
efficiency they formerly had. There
has been an actual decrease OF 40 per
cent. in the output because of decreased
efficiency. European factory men never
did produce In the old ten-hour day as
much as an American factory man in
eight hours. Therefore, II they return
to the ten hour day they would be
doing much toward restoring the in
ternal conditions OF the country. a
thing far more important than securing
foreign loans"

PARIS TEMPS ATTACKS
REAL ESTATE BILL
Says 1t Injuries Foreign InUest-

PARIS, Dec. 25.-The bill recently
passed by the Chamber OF Deputies,
whereby foreigners cannot hold real
estate in France without special permit
from the Government. is attacked by tbs
Temps, which declares 1T is impossible
that the Senate will adopt bill so op
posed TO the real interests of France" a."
The bill as first introduced contained no
reference to exchange, but aimed only
10 insure the security of France and its
clauses affected only the frontier de-
partments. When II reached the Cham
ber's committee it's scope was enlarged
to cover the whole of France.
The Temps objects to the retroactlvity
OF the bill and points out that the price
of real estate has followed closely the
fall in the value of the franc. while the
purchase OF real estate by foreigners
brought to France and kept there large
sums of money

BETTER ROAD BUILDING
(Oriando Reporter-StarD

There will be general endorsement of tie NJ. VI.
Smith idea OF better road construction 1T is not
cheap road construction, but good" Mir Smith
says that need and i'll this he is right
1t is the poorest kind OF economy to build
cheaply. Better endure poor road a little
longer than build in a manner and Of material
that will not stand the OF modern traffic.
Thousands OF dollars have been literally thrown
away in Florida by building of materials that
would not stand up under heavy traiir.
Several countless too made the very bad mis-
take Of trying to stretch out too many miles
and while using proper materials, either made
the specifications too light or were toe easy with
the contractor and as a result, miles of what
might have been a splendid and permanent high
way had the materials boen properly used, were
practically worthless inside OF two years because
they were so narrow and the materials so th;nly
spread and poorly protected at the edges that
after about two years they were but a
streak of tarvia in the center OF the road about
wide enough for horse travel on.
Under the heavy automobile and truck ira fic
to which roads are subjected now, they must
be built very heavy; must be constructed on well
drained beds ami inust be protected at the edges.
Clay and crushed Stone will not serve where the
traffic is very heavy. These materials serve
useful purpose on some roads but not on roads OF
frequent and heavy traffic
AS Mr. Smith says, our highway laws should be
reformed. a man should be made state highway
commissioners who is qualified for the job and
kept Oh the job and be held responsible for the
manner in which roads constructed.
There is great difference in the quality of
roads in different counties. even though the same
materials used and the cost averages about
the same This would indicate that the difference
is largely in the in which the road beds
are prepared and the materials used. Road con-
structiOn is cur biggest item of expense and
surely we would no longer experiment with men
or materials.
