the lives OF many scores of persons in
the 1roquois fire in Chicago in 1906.
Twenty-Five years ago--on that night
Eddie Foy was playing in the theater
in the heart of Chicago's loop. A
tongue Of flame shot out from the
wings. and the crowded theater turned
into a milling crowd of panic stricken
souls. Six hundred of them died in the
flame-filled shambles. But Eddie Foy
stepped out from the wings almost
at the same moment the tongue of
fire signaled the beginning of that
night OF terror. His inimitable SHAY"
out OF the side of his mouth
was gone. Instead. another Eddie Fov
took the stage. Transformed from the
funny mantle h-maker--Edde
Foy became the leader and savior
and he only escaped from that cham

He remained on the stage. eXhorting
the audience to file out in orderly man

All in the DAVIS Work,

When You pay man by the hour
you might well consider which hour as
well as which man. The nights sleep
Winds q man up or fuels" him for the
day. But the mind machine doesn't
run Ike clockwork. 1t takes time to get
1t going. which is the warming up proc
ess; and not so long after the mind ma
chine strikes It's pace fatigue sets in and
1t begins to run down hill Then comes
the MONDAY stocking and the steam
gauge OF energy slowly rises until again
the peak OF efficiency is reached 10 he
followed by the end-of- the-day grow
ing fatigue. That's the typical daily
curve registered on the energy clock for
most men. SO far as possible we should
adapt the days work to the days work
rhythm.
Here Is one piece of evidence that
shows the ups and downs OF days
work. Students were tested for every
hour OF the day from in the morning
until 5 in the evening except at noon.
They we're tested with rather simple
mental work, the output Of which could
be easily measured. They repeated
numbers read to them; they memorized
numbers flashed on screen. they
learned a sort Of code: they tried 70
recognize which OF a group OF dia-
grams they had seen before; they filled
out missing words In sentences requiring
simple reasoning. And their score on
this program was tailed each hour
These are all bits Of mental work that
are hard enough TO require attention
and yield an output that you can meas
ure both in how much IS done and how
many mistakes are made.
Counting as par. or 100. the output at
8 O'Clock. the efficiency goes up prompt
" o.l043 at 9 o'clock: it reaches its
peak at 10 o'clock 1866. then drops
slightly at II o'clock, 1856. But az
o'clock. when work is resumed after the
lunch hour. you have the lowest eff
cheney Of the day. 98.7. By 2 O'Clock
there Is a little recovery. 1905 about
where you started at g.; at occurs the
afternoon peak, 1851; at 4 it is still
1912. but at 5 1t has gone down sharply
to 1904. which means that you are as
good. though not as fresh, as when you
started.
The noon hour is partly a physiology
cal matter. After eating the blood goes
TO the stomach and away from the
brain. Animals go TO sleep after eating,
and many humans feel like doing so.
The sleepiness shows in the work and
must wear of before the work curve
rises.
You might suppose that you would
start at your best in the early morning.
and perhaps some persons do so; but
most need warming-up practice. as all
trainers know. You can't strike your
best pace at once II would be well in
factory work and other work TO go easy
after the noon meal. not to expect so
much for the first hour and 20 count
on making it UP later.
TWO points may be added This curve
OF efficiency Of the days work isn't quite
the same for all kinds OF work. This
typical chart applies to simple. partly
routine tasks. while complex ones have
a more variable and irregular schedule
Secondly. 1t varies with individuals. We
vary in our working patterns. For a
considerable number OF persons the
hardest time Is in the morning; they

We keep our friends for the same

Of shoes. They are comfortable. The

keep our old friends because We are

We do not want our labor wasted
There Is a natural craving for perma-
