More Efficiency Needed.
A Generally speaking, our chief problem II
that of constantly increasing our efficiency. There
is a great deal of talk about American efficiency.

The widespread industrial content achieved IN
the last decade would indicate that in so far as
wages and working conditions are concerned the
demands of justice have been met. However,
modern industry's theory Of obligation does not
end there. The worker Is entitled to more than
mere living wage. He must be enabled 70 op-

a competence that renders him independent:
How to do this is a question which has suggested

Reichstag Members

"Let me have men about me that

speare was thinking of the present
Reichstag when he wrote these immor-
tai lines. But the present crop of Ger
man Deputies are hefty fellows with
an average weight of 176 pounds, and
some people say that their conduct
proves that the bard was right. The
figures are scientific, taken from the
records in the Reichstag gymnasium,
where members withdraw to recover
from their mental and vocal labors. The
Vice President, Siegfried Won Kardorh,
finds 1t dif1cult to pack his ample

Old Abbey Occupied
By Benedictine Monks

The old abbey Of Saint Wandrille,
near Rouen, is said to be inhabited
again by the Benedictine monks, who
used to live In It before the days of
the expulsion Of religious orders from
France. If the news is correct the
homecoming Of the holy men must
have frightened away a good many
profane spirits, as the abbey belonged
for several years to the Belgian writer,
Maurice Maeterlinck, who, with hts

Maurice Maeterlinck took to other

Japanese Barnum Finds
Family of 'Monkey-Men'

Hark back to the days Of P. T. Bar
mum ct al! A japanese Snowman,
searching the country for bigger ana
better things to present to his waiting
public, has found family OF monkey
men" whose skins are covered with hair
and who gibber exactly like the inhabi-
tants Of the Toxic Zoo. Unfortunately,
however, the Snowman hasn't been able
to bring these queer folk before the
populace, and so his word for this curl
Gus throw-back has to be accepted.
There is q reason for this freak OF
nature, the Toxic papers recount. Years
and years ago, they say, hunter, now
95 years old, killed q monkey in the
woods near his house. Before 1t died
the monkey cast an evil spell over the
hunter, q spell which he has not been
able to shake of. His two sons and
three daughters were all born dumb ana
with skins like a monkey. For years,
the story goes, they have been kept in
their fathers house, where they are the
object of great wonder by the people
who live in the vicinity. The Snowman
tried to get the five monkey folk" TO
come to Toxic with him for 500, but
when they had ridden few miles IN
his automobile they became 80 terrified
that they had to be taken back to their
home, the report says.

island formerly named Ford Island,
In Pearl Harbor, the Nays base IN
Hawaii. As the Army Air Corps ana
the Naval Air Station developed, the
limited size Of the island brought
about a disadvantageous situation for
both. There was not space for both
to operate. According to the present
plan. the Army viii transfer its avia-
lion activities from Ford Island to a
new site, not far away, adjoining the
present coast defense post OF Fort
Kamehameha, leaving to the Navy
the entire island in Pearl Harbor. For
the new field near Fort Kan, as
the Army and all Hawaii call 1t, a
