Foolish Tire Waste

NF COURSE don't want gasoline rationing in Mich
~ igan IT, however Washington remains still open to
argument its eventual need here we'd better think
up convincing arguments against it than have been
offered thus far by Michigan officials and the state press
Most of these arguments have been selfish and silly
Hard boiled Harold Ickes and his associates would
justified tossing them the window without boherng
to them Stripped of subtefuge they boil down to
plantive plea that Michigan doesn't want gas ratonng
because it's more comfortable to continue driving
automobiles than to do without them.
To be there legitimate and highly important
why gas ratonng except extreme measure,
would work especial hardship Michigan workers
and Michigan industries.
These proper reasons can't be expected to impress
Washington until show indication of cutting down
non-essentia motor travel.
60 FAR as concerns Detroit refuse apparently
~ even to try to taper off
Group riding to and from work is virtually
existent Pleasure driving is prevalent
Detroiters won't walk to church Sunday.
They insist driving to the movies instead of using buses
street
Worst of all, their children continue to drive blithely
to high school despite the fact that all Detroit high
schools within easy walking distance of the homes of
the bulk of the pupils
For confirmation of this disgusting indifference to
wartime rubber and gas shortages visit any high school
in any moderately prosperous section any school day.
You will pupils parked bumper to bumper in
every available parking space
Until Detroit parents eliminate this stupid abuse of
motor use can't expect Washington to pay much
heed to our protests against gas rationng here.

Rest Periods Necessary
For Highest Production
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

YESTERDAY we inquired into
the physiological definition
of work as performed by that
not very efficient machine. the
human body.
We found there were three
classes of work-maXimal, heavy
and moderate; that maximal
work could only be performed
for a very short time; that rest
periods were imperative; that
heavy work might be main
tanned for eight hours, but that
rest periods made for economy
and that moderate work-which
is what most factory laborers
perform-makes little drain on
reserve muscular energy, oxy-
gen consumption, heart rate and
blood pressure.
Today we wish to inquire into
the things that impair the
human machine In attaining
maximum efficiency and how
they can be overcome.
Naturally this will concern
mostly the subject of moderate
muscular work.
We already have said that
m ak mum work cannot be
possibly performed without long
rest periods and there is more
efficiency in heavy work with
short rest periods interspersed.
THE situation can be Illus
L trated by the example of
factory workers who work stand
ing at benches and using small
groups of muscles OF the hands
and arms.
Ii also must be remembered
that they use the muscles of the
eyes.
lneSe people 90 not become
fatigued on account Of an ex-
cessive strain put upon the
whole muscular system nor on
account of strain on the heart
and blood pressure.
Very slight adjustments in
physiological processes are re-
quired.
They become fatigued because
OF the strain OF standing. which
alone is fatiguing. and also be-
cause OF the constitution of the
nervous system which becomes
tired from making repetitious
movements and strain from the
eyes.
In other words. if a machine
could do this work, il never
would have 10 stop until the
parts actually wore out or UNI
less il became overheated.
But since the human body has

They embarrassed their own leaders who are trying
to negotiate closed shop agreement with the DSR.

that is putting it mildly to the need for uninterrupted
war production in Detroit.
These things reprehensble but the drivers also

late for work
Bus drivers might remember they don't stand very
high in public esteem at best.
Through causes which may may not be in their
control they regarded by the motoring public and the
bus riding public road hogs and reckless drivers and
nuisances generally.
They need all the friends they make in Detroit.
Their leaders would do well to point that out to them

TO THE EDITOR:
IN BEHALF of United Detroit
Il Theaters and all the motion
picture theater fraternity, not
only in this area but throughout
the country. l want 10 express
sincere thanks and appreciation
for the splendid editorial in The
Detroit Times concerning the
participation OF motion picture
theaters in the effort TO increase
the sale OF war savings bonds
and war savings stamps.
The editorial is a tribute that
cannot help but add a generous
measure of pride 10 that which
those of us engaged in produc-
ing. distributing and exhibiting
motion picture entertainment
have long felt for the privilege
of being identified with screen
enterprises.
OF far greater Importance is
the certainty that The Detroit
Times tribute will help substan-
TALLY TO achieve the objective
that is constantly before us of
increasing public regard for the
motion picture industry.

a nervous system attached to
its machinery, fatigue and re-
duced efficiency in productivity
inevitably take place.
VARIOUS factories have eS-
perimented with methods
of overcoming this fatigue in a
purely selfish endeavor 10 in
crease their production.
1t has been found that in
shoe factory where the workers
eat three ordinary meals a
day. production was increased
by providing a forenoon and an
afternoon lunch OF glass of
milk and a piece of cake.
These lunches and rest periods
prevented decrease in produc-
tivity that showed up inevitably
i'm the latter half of the morn
ing and afternoon.
There is undoubtedly a pSy-
Geological factor in this, too,
in the workers feeling of good
will.
In another factory il was
found with experienced women

did affect their output was fire.

which allowed the workers TO

of doors.
DEGENERATION, even from
IL maximal work. occurs in
about 10 minutes in most SUBJ
jects.
Recuperation from heavy and
moderate work therefore is pro-
portional.
Recovery from the emotional
strain OF continued work is
subject about which very little
is known.
Neither the psychologist nor
the psychologist can provide the
answer and probably an analysis
of past associations and en-
vironmental conditions would be
necessary.
