Joe had lied to Violet in one minor

BR|TONS STUDY
j. s. INDUSTRY
EFFICIENCY
Declare England Must Cut Pro-
duction Costs If She Is to
Get World Trade.
BY DAVID Nj. CHURCH.
international News Service.

: LONDON, Aug. 31.-English in
dustrials are carefully. studying
American efficiency in production
and prohibition.
Sir Eric Geddes. president of the
Federation of British Industries, has
called attention of the British manu-.
facturers to the fact that industrlaI
efficiency has inCI eased in America
since prohibition became effective.
The matter is causing serious con-
sideration, for British manufacturers
are striving to rebuild their trade
and realize that reduction of produc-
ton costs and increase in efficiency
are necessary to a revived commerce.
Man Output Low.
Manufacturers must get the cost
of production down if they are going
to compete in the markets of the
world" Sir Eric said. He pointed
out that in many industries the out
put <per man is uEduly low.
America since 1921, Sir Eric stated,
has shown an all-oVer improvement
of Is per cent in the industrial eff
ficiency of the operative. II do not
know whether this is because Amer
lea is dry he said, ''or whether 1t as
due to a better organization of indus
try and higher standard of factory
management and efficiency.
Talking from the point of view
of industrial workers, America is
practically dry, and all we hear about
the bootleggers and the ease with
which liquor is obtained does not ap-
ply generally to the industrials.
Improvement Doubted.
At should be very much surprised
if anyone could see general i'm
proVement of Is per cent in the last
two years in this country, although
undoubtedly in certain industries and
certain works this and even more
has been obtained. This improve
ment can be brought about either
voluntarily in order to develop trade,
or by mere force of economic circum-
stances.
Take, for instance, the improve
ment in output of the coal miner.
Economic pressure there has had the
result of largely improving the eff
cheney of the worker. ! know that 1t
is customary to laugh at the eff
cheney engineer, to belittle his efforts
to treat him as a crank. Even IN
America he is not looked upon as in
fallible. At the same time we should
not treat him altogether lightly and
with great hilarity as newcomer
into industry, but as one who has
been connected with manufacturing
all his life. There is a wide field for
the efficiency engineer in> this coun-
try. His principles can be applied
both to- the benefit of the employer
and the employed and to the great
Improvement of the trade of the
country"

EXERCISE IS FOE
Of DIVORCE,

Scientist Also Declares Sleep

Danger in Big Dinners.
By CHESTER b. Balm,
international News Service.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 81
Tie your matrimonial chariot to a
New England breakfast if you
will, but never to dietician, is
the advice of Professor Charles
Knapp, of Syracuse University,
political scientist. who doesn't
limit his polite investigations to
Congress, ct al, but believes that
the home is the soul of the nation
and the refrigerator. content the
surest path away from the divorce
court.
There is further cure for
what the divorce courts term in
compatibility and domestic vocab-
uIaries have dubbed Feasibility,
irritability, evaporation and what
not-namely, Professor Knapp
says, exercise.
Exercise One Cure.
Plenty of outdoor exercise will
take the sting out Of many a cut
ting remark made over the break
fast table by Mrs. Wife and Mr..
Husband. But the breakfast table,
the university professor finds, is
much maligned in being chosen by
fiction artists as the battle-ground
for matrimonial conflicts.
Here enters another phase of
his don'ts for those verging on
incompatibility. Sleep, ais much as
possible before midnight, is sure
to smooth a lot of wrinkles in the
domestic coverlet.
Shouldn't Defeat Husband.
And the investigator finds that
in reality the five hurried minu-
tes over the coffee cup in the
morning are less apt to result in
physical or moral casualties than
too many exacting calories deliv-
cred up by Mrs. Wife at the din
ner table after eight hours in
the office.
One must tread lightly, how
ever, he says, in the exercise
theory of prevention from "di-
vorcitis,"
The surest way to step on a
mans toes is for his wife to de-
feat him at a game of tennis or
golf, and even in the favored old
pastime of croquet it is never
diplomatic for Mrs. Wife to de-
feat Mr.. Husband.
