SHORTER HOURS. MORE PROFITS

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS request to en-
= ployers for q shorter work week is being
forgotten in the tension of threatened strikes.
Yet if business men are awake to their own in
terests they will shorten hours in their own
plants and encourage the same action every
where
For the short work week holds more prom
Use of markets for industrial products than
any single thing on the world horizon today
And this is not mere theory.
The kellogg Company has experimental
with the short work week for several years
and has made known results which should
open the eyes of those who shook their heads
SO glunly when NRA tried to point the way
to them.
The kellogg Company made a check of 1873
men and women employees to find out what
use they are making of two hours leisure
which the new short work schedule gave them
each day. 1t found that of seventy-two men.
siXty-one spent more time reading, sixty
worked around the house, forty-four did gar
dening, forty-three spent more time at sports,
twenty-five at other recreation. OF sixty-one
women workers, ffty-three devoted more time
to their clothes, 1fty-one to cooking fifty to
housework, forty-three to personal appearance,
forty-two to reading, forty to sewing, forty to
their children, twenty-seven to gardening.
seventeen to recreation, fifteen to sports and
eleven to club work.
1t should not be necessary to point out
what these figures mean to makers of furni-
ture, fabrics carpets. household appliances,
cooking utensils, gardening equipment, wo-
mems clothes. cosmetics, sporting goods, and
all kinds Of products used in recreation, from
automobiles to puzzles.
That the short work week will mean more
families with adequate income. healthier and
more intelligent population, and an improve
ment in the comfort appearance and efficiency
Of American homes may mean little to some
short-sighted employers. But the matter OF
expanding markets should mean much
To clinch the argument for the shorter
work week there is the experience of firms that
it increases efficiency and production. The
labor department has cited one such large
company operating under this system since

real POLITICAL REFORM
is NEEDED NOW

By Times Reader.
May I commend you on your
editorial entitled The Boss Goes
On" 1t was snappy and to the
point
Has it occurred to you that many
reform tickets fail of election. as IN
the recent Kansas City debacle, be
cause there is a notable lack Of
confidence on the part of the voting
public in reform administrations?
Isn't it too true that the very ele-
ments that figure in many reform
campaigns, that is, the little groups
Of law and order leagues" com
mittees' Of this and that, and other
petty organizations which do their
bit" in electing the ticket, manage
by the very shrillness of their out
cries to divert the real purposes Of
a "Well-managed and financed"
reform administration and to dissi-
pate their activities along such pif-
fling channels as, for instance, cam
| paigns against burleSque theaterS,
pitching pennies and Decent Negro
/ policy games?
These are the kind of reforms"
usually gone into, with a fanfare of
trumpets, by experienced machine
/ politicians when it becomes nee
essary to draw the public eye from
/ the great public improvement steals,
/ pay roll paddings. etc. No wonder
/ the private citizen eyes the usual
/ reform administration askance and
wonders why he ever supported it in
the first place.
There is no question about the
need for revision in our bOss-ridden
cities, but in this writer's opinion
these revisions must be brought
about under the Watchful guidance
Of practical business and profess
sional men, aimed directly at the
roots Of the system and striving for
solution Of the major problems.
Once these things are corrected,
our schools financed properly, our
police departments operating at top
efficiency on criminal matters, and
our public improvements charged
back to the taxpayers at actual cost,
there still will be time enough to
make sure that the gals in the leg
"opTys" wear their wooden under
wear and the boys don't spend their
money for red pop and stogies!

THEY SUGGEST A
TABERNACLE VISIT

By V. VI. Peters and ". 3. Cole
In answer to the letter Of March
30 by T. S. Martin, whoever he may
be, or whatever he may be, please
let me inform you that you never
have visited the beautiful structure
Of Cod" proudly called the Cadle
tabernacle. You never heard the
prayers Of Dr.. Gouthey, or Mr.. Cadle,
never have seen the crowds Of peo-
pie who come to them with an I'M
Outstanding love in their hearts, TO
give their lives TO Christ.
There is nothing cheap about this
place 1t is filed with riches no
money can buy, and these are the
love Of God It was through this
love that Mr.. Cadle managed to pro-
mote this family prayer PERIOD
over a WLW hook up.
Why don't you-Whoever you may
be, listen TO the call Of Christ, be-
fore it is too late, and do as he did,
even on the cross, have no jealousy
in your heart and love your
enemies"

JUDGING OF INDIVIDUALS
URGED BY READER

BY Mamie Bass
A propos Of your editorial "Wom-
en- in Indiana" is there not another
phase of this matter of women in
public Office that deserves our con-
sideration?
Without reference to Sheriff Hol-
ley, as I do not know enough about
her to judge whether she should
have been appointed, is it not a
serious mistake to appoint wives,
daughters or other women mem
bers of a family of a deceased pub
lie officer to fill vacancy unless
the individual is really fitted to fill
the position? Because a man is a
good public administrator of one
kind or another, it does not follow
that his wife could fill his posi-
ton, any more than it would follow
that the wife of a famous surgeon
could perform difficult operations
just because he did. Certainly, we
should put aside sentiment or a de-
sire to help those bereft and select
public officers because of their fit
ness for Office.
Another thing, if Sheriff Holley
has failed, it does not follow that no
woman would make a good sheriff.
If man fails, his failure is charged
to him individually, but if a woman
fails, then Immediately we draw the
conclusion that women can not do
thus and so, because Mrs. Smith
tried it and failed. We still have
much to learn. If Mrs. Smith fails,
it proves that she was not fitted by
disposition, education, ETC., to fill
that job, but it does not mean that
there may not be hundred other
women who are thus qualified.
Let us learn to judge individuals
as such and not make unreasonable
deductions.

HERE'S A CHANCE FOR
TIE WIDOW ASKING AID

Perhaps the widow who wrote in
the Message Center and who says
she lives in a garage without furni-
ture could help me farm, if she
hasn't too large a family. How many
children does she have?
She must remember though that
unemployment IS so bad that farm
ers can not sell their products be-
cause there is no one TO buy them.
and that the people who do buy eat
no meat, Just oleo. beans, peanut
butter, canned vegetables, some
milk, bread and fruit, lettuce, pota-
toes, celery, fresh vegetables and
cabbage.

me is more proof that the money
gods are paying for this kind of
advertising to teach people there

writer that tells us the new deal

People have been hungry and

AN OPEN LETTER TO
SECRETARY PERKINS
BY Times Reader


Frances Perkins, secretary Of labor:
I know you welcome constructive
criticism Of the program for recov-
cry. The whole social order rests
upon the protection of life, liberty
and happiness. If this social COM
pact fails there is no excuse for
maintaining the shell that houses a
pretext for it. Those gestures we
make that do not actually restore
full opportunity for labor to produce
an abundant supply for every nor
nal human need, either are made
because we do not have the courage
to meet the challenge, with the
necessary strategy, or we fear the
opposition of the forces that have
the control Of our productive equip
ment. We are now making a record

Bernard M. Baruch, in a state

tacks as cheap and unjust" the
action OF those responsible for
testimony before the Senate mu,
nitionS committee that his in.
come tax returns for 1918 and
1919 had been destroyed by the
Internal Revenue Bureau.
Mr.. Baruch, recently appointed
by President Roosevelt to head a
committee which will formulate
plans for taking the profits out
of war, was chairman Of the War
Industries Board during the years
involved.
He denied that he had any
knowledge of the processes Of the
Internal Revenue Bureau and
said:

any Of his associates desire to
examine my returns for the two
years in question, / shall be

copies as have among my own
records and supplement that with
examination or questioning they
