ASSOCIATED Press Business Writer
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Emotions
cost one manufacturer more than
S5OO,O0O in one year-not the man
ufacturer's emotions, but the I'M
happy emotions of his workers re-
sulting from an imperfect plant
environment.
This is one of the conclusions
drawn by Prof. Rex B. Hersey OF
the University of Pennsylvania, af-
ter a years search in an unnamed
plant employing more than 10000
mechanics and helpers.
AS might be expected, happy
worker produced more than an I'M
happy worker but the happy
workers increase was far less than
the unhappy workers decrease.
Conditions Affect Work
On the basis of factors both
within and without the plant, aver
age production was 9984 per cent,
while the average of the most nor
NAL worker was 101.5 per cent.
While this may seem trifling
difference, the statistics show that
virtually all of this normal work
er's drops in production resulted
from factors not connected with his
working life, while for all the work

ers in the test the plant situation
accounted for most of their de-
pressed production.
Could Save Half Million
"If the group average Professor
Hersey has concluded, through
better individual adjustment and
closer attention to individual reac-
tons to the various factors in the
plant situation, could have been
brought up merely to the most
normal workers average, this
would have meant a saving rough
ly of S37 year on each mechanic
and $3.50 on each helper.

sibility of suggestions and improve
ments made comparatively that

duction standard without the usual
friction that accompanies such ac-

COURT REVERSES
LOCAL VERDICT
In NOTE CASE

Because E. A. Brown was not be-
fore the court when Judge A. c.
Finney granted a motion by Ray D.
johnson to vacate satisfaction of
judgment signed by Brown, the
Fourth District Court of Appeals re-
versed Judge Finney's decision in
an opinion filed in the county
clerks office here today.
The decision of the superior
court here was appealed by A. f.
and E. A. Brown. Ray d. johnson
was plaintiff in the superior court
case, and respondent in the appeal.
The case had its beginning June
80, 1890, when George 3. and Alta
Blanche Brown took a Judgment for
$3.50 against Arthur 4. Brown, later
assigning the claim to Johnson. Still
later they assigned the claim, again,
to E. A. Brown IN consideration of
the surrender of promissory note.
e. A. Brown then signed a salts
faction of Judgment, by which it
appeared he had received 5000.
II was Johnson's contention he
had the first assignment of the
claim, and that E. A. Brown knew
of this Judge Finney upheld this
view when he granted Johnson's
motion to vacate the satisfaction Of
judgment.
The appellate court, however,
ruled that as E. A. Brown was not
In the court room when the motion
was heard it should be reversed.
If he had been present, the opinion
indicated, the judgment would have

Burglars Enter
Local Houses

Petty crime which held the at
tertion of Ell Centre police during
the week end included two burglar
les, one of them in the home of
Tom Adams, superior court bailiff.
Adams home at 1882 Broadway
was burglarized Saturday night, the
burglar entering by means of pass
key. Among the missing articles
were a lady's wrist watch, two
dresses and one suit. The loot was
valued at 500.
R. A. Glasgow reported to police
his apartment at $50 Orange ave-
nue. was entered by burglar who
tore the screen from a window. A
puzzling feature of the house break
ing was that nothing was missing.
Glasgow reported the same thing
happened about a month ago.
Nothing was taken at that time, he
said.

RULE OF IRISH
IS AT AN END
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Nov. 80 tU.P)-The
days OF Notre Dame football en-
pire appear TO be numbered.
Just as Yale, Harvard, Michigan
and California-the Notre Danes
of the past-were forced to make
way for new rulers, so must Notre
Dame.
Like its predecessors, Notre Dame
doubtless will retain ranking
among the nations gridiron lead
ers, but it is unlikely that the South
Bend institution again will rise TO
the heights Of the Rockne era.
Although the decline of the
Notre Dame empire will be dated
from the tragic death of Knute
Rockne, the first actual indications
of disintegration were shown in
Saturdays IL TO 0 defeat by the
Army. For then it was that team
previously hailed as the strongest
in Notre Dame history was de-
feated and all but disgraced by q
slightly regarded rival, previously
beaten 26 to by Pittsburgh, and
IA to l3 by Harvard, and tied by
Yale.
Notre Dame teams have lost
games before. but almost invariably
they have looked good in losing
This same Notre Dame team did
that very thing against Southern
California week previously, but
on Saturday it was unable to- ac-
complish even that.
"Off day" or not, Notre Dame
was made to lool: pitifully ineffec-
tive and but for two brilliant plays
by Ray Stecker of Army, the spec
tacle which New York annually
counts upon for its one outstanding
contest of the year, was dreary
unintereSting game.
Eighty thousand spectators sat in
stunned silence as the debacle
progressed.
Every time Notre Dame got the
ball, the crowd almost could be
seen to think; Now we'll see
something. They'll open up and
show Army some real football"
But as Army continued to smash
through and break up Notre Danes
plays behind the line, the ever
tickle New York fans lost faith and

UP Albie Booths illness, opti-

The small Yale football, basket

Should this disease obtain a foot

United Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 30. U.P)-If
you should arrive in New York this
week and find many of its better
citizens looping the loop off tall
buildings, wagging their ears, wear
ing anvils for watch chains and
juggling dynamite sticks, do not be
alarmed. For dizziness goofiness
week is here again.
Dizziness goofineSs week, in case
you don't know it, is just another
way of saying that the six day BIZ
cycle peddlers are at it again in
Madison Square Gardens mons
trous wooden mayonnaise bowl.
Dizziness goofineSs week started
promptly at p. m. last night and
will be with us until Saturday night
at II p. m. when the boys will dis
mount and call 1t quits until next
. time.
For this years dizziness goofiness
race Mister John Chapman, the
man who put the S in bike racing,
has assembled a fine collection of
peddlers, including all the old fav-
orites and half a dozen or more new
faces, or rather, new calves. Head
ing the list OF old favorite is Reggie
Mcnamara, whose only bad spill
last year came when his beard got
tangled up in the spokes Of his ma
chine. Reggie is known to older
than Santa Claus and is credited
with having given George Washing
ton his first two or three lessons on
how to pump on an upgrade.
Six day bicycle racing may be
dizzy fun, but it's clean fun. There
never has been any scandal at
tached to dizziness goofiness week
unless you count the rumors about
Franco Giorgetti and Gerald De-
baets who, by the way, were spin
ming away merrily when I stepped
out for an aspirin last night.
7 have heard it was said that
Franco and his Waggish Belgian
Sidekick are SO much better than
the competition that they are forced
to take it easy lest they sew the
race up by Monday night. This, of
course, would never do, for compe-
tition is the life of dizziness goof-
mess week, just as it is of trade.
Personally, wouldn't know about
this. was fair cycler in my day,
and at one time could ride from
Martins livery stable on the corner
of Main and Pine to old man Bus
by's grocery store three blocks down
the street without touching the
handlebars.
But that was SO or so years ago
and today my knowledge of the art
is so Slight, that for the life of me
I couldn't tell whether Franco and
Gerald were giving their all, or just
leaning over the handlebars winking
at the doll babies in the gallery.
