Fatigue

A worker will produce more in
an 8-hour day than in a II.
This paradox is asserverated,
not by labor leaders, but by in
dustrial engineers, with factual
data on which to base it. True
enough, you can get a temporary
squirt in production by whipping
the tired horse" but sooner or
later the gain is washed out by in
creased accidents, and subcon-
scious or Intentional slow-downs
on the part of the workers.
And suddenly now we find our
selves at war, with operation of
the great industrial machine at
the mercy of Washington and
public opinion-in short, in the
hands of amateurs who ~innocently
think that to get a so per cent
increase in production you simply
increase work hours so per cent.
Here is an abyss which yawns
in the path of victory, and which
can best be skirted under the
guidance of physicians. We, all
Of us, but particularly the in
dustrial surgeons, must be on the
lookout for fatigue neuroses, TIL
berculosis, the degenerative
diseases, and plain labor troubles
due to nerves." all flowing from
physical exhaustion. We must
intervene and explain to manage
ment that whereas one worker
may put in IL. hours, 8 may be
the limit for another-and certain
aged or infirm individuals will
find even this quota too much.
Recreational activities must be
maintained, and needed vacations
granted. An injured man should
not be forced to work, lest his
clumsiness induce greater acct
dents.
You can't race an engine and
save oil too. A little of the "oil"
described here, If squirted on the
industrial machine by physicians,
will pay big dividends.

commodity prices was again higher
last week, according to the price in
dex compiled by the National Fer
tilizer Association. In the week
ended April 18, 1912, this index rose
to 1877 per cent of the 1935-1e39
average, compared with 1868 in the
preceding week. A month ago the
index was 124 and year ago 104.4.
The gain in the an-commodity In
dex was the net result of substantial
increases in food and building ma
terial prices. In the food group ad-
vancing quotations were registered
by II items, while only 4 declined,
causing another marked rise In the
food price index.
The price of Southern pine was
adjusted to a new ceiling level.
This advance combined with an in
crease in brick was responsible for a
sharp upturn in the building mate
rial price average. Small increases
were registered by the indexes of
chemical and drugs and miscel-
laneous commodities. The farm
product index lost most of the pre-
vious weeks gain, as cotton, grains

CHICAGO, April 21.-The best
buying power in several sessions
lifted wheat prices a cent a busheI
or more at one stage today as the

Buying came from dealers cover
ing previous short sales, shippers,

not on large scale, was sufficient to
overshadow limited selling. Ship
pers sold 10000 bushels of wheat to
go to outside mills. The fact that
prices are well below prospective

posed and are not high enough to
encourage marketing of old grain
