NEW IDEA OF "EFFICIENCY"
---------o-----------
System Being Introduced by New York
Business Men in an Improve-
ment on Old Methods.
----------o----------
"Efficiency," as interpreted in the
world of business in recent years, cov-
ered a multitude of sins. There is no
question that modern buinsess efficien-
cy, when applied universally, has
produced excellent results. But—and
here's the rub—too often wood-be ef-
ficiency experts have been mere bur-
glers. To their regret thousands of
business men have utilized the services
of this type of expert, who talks a
great deal, demands a large salary,
and after introducing hundreds of card
index systems, discharging capable em-
ployees of constructive work, leaves for
new fields. Some time ago the larger
business concerns, particularly in this
city, decided that the class of "ex-
perts" was not what was needed most
and set about finding out what really
was necessary to fill the [longfelt?] want.
The result was the discovery of the
"new efficiency," which operates [alike?]
for the benefit of the employer and
employee, and which, when more gen-
erally adopted, will place modern big
business upon a much higher plane
than it ever has occupied. The new
efficiency consists in the employer's do-
ing everything possible for the mental
and physical betterment of those whom
they hire, surrounding them in their
places of employment with such con-
veniences and entertainment as will
make their hours of labor a pleasure
and not a task, and endeavoring to
create and sustain a general feeling of
mutual interest and good will among
everybody concerned, from [blurry] of
concerns to the humblest worker. The
result has been in such places as the
laudable endeavor has been carried out
intelligently that the employees have
met the advances fully half way, and
an increased degree of efficiency has
been obtained which could not have
been prepared in any other manner.—

Cows Fear Zeppelins

Cows give weak milk through fright
of the Zeppelins' presence. This was
avowed by a London suburban magis-
trate who heard evidence against a lo-
cal milkman for supplying his custom-
ers with unadulturated milk. He pleaded
that he had never thought of such a
thing, and gave it as his belief that
his own had suffered the fright
that the Zeppelin caused while above
his dairy. The magistrate corraborated
his statement and dismissed the case.

In the Name of Charity.

Tommy—Father, will you give me a
nickel to give to a cripple?

Father—Certainly, my boy. I am
very pleased to see that you are kind
and thoughtful concerning cripples.
Always be kind and good to those un-
fortunate persons, because they need
it most of all. Who is this cripple?

Tommy—The man who takes the
money at the picture show!

Apparatus with which photograph-

trade. The totals for each country

percentage is a great deal higher. Home gardens, vacant lot gardens, [cut off]
gardens, furnish one of the quickest and must practical remedies for [cut off]
conditions.

In great centres of population energetic steps are being taken to [grow]
every available foot of soil in the production of food. In Chicago, a [cut off]
garden movement has been started. The newspapers, city officials, [cut off]
departments, civic societies, schools, large corporations and individuals [are]
joining forces in a home garden campaign. Three hundred and fifty [cut off]
[??] children of the city have been enlisted in the great army of gar[deners].

Pittsburgh has a school garden department in its public schools. [This]

A garden, well managed, will produce an abundance of nourishing [food]
during six or seven months of the year. By canning, preserving or pack[ing a]
liberal supply for the winter months, the savings made possible by the [garden]
will extend thorough the entire year.

Home-Grown Vegetables Best

The most valuable [illegible] to any community is that which circula[tes re-]
peatedly through its [mode?] territory. Money expended for imported fr[uit and]
canned vegetables is sent out of the community.

Vegetables grown in our gardens and canned in our homes are [much]
fresher and cleaner than those ice boxes at the stores. A garden h[as a]
greater variety of things to see. In most instances those who have g[ardens]
will have vegetables to sell to less thrifty neighbors.

Conditions for gardening vary in different localities, but there is [cut off]
in which gardening cannot be made [illegible].

The Pittsburgh Smoke Commission found that the greatest precip[cut off]
of soot and cinders in that city was in the Woods Run Settlement [cut off].
Yet, in that district 18[0>-?] children, between 8 and 14 years of age, for [the year]
1915, vegetables valued at $720 on a few vacant lots each child having [cut off]
of ground only 9 by 12 feet in size. Some of the vacant land had lost [cut off]
to the depth of eight or more feet with old cans, bricks, [illegible], etc., and [it was]
necessary to haul dirt for a considerable distance to cover the refuse.

At [Araledge?], a manufacturing suburb of Pittsburgh, has plots [illegible] plots [cut off]
each 70 feet square were planted to garden by as many families. [One]
family raised the vegetables they would use during the summer a [cut off]
and most of them canneda large amount for winter. Many sold vegeta[bles to]
their neighbors.

Gardens promote health. The family that raises a garden does not [cut off]
refuse to accumulate. If there is manure around the barn it is used [to]
garden and ceases to become a breeding place for this. In gar[dens are]
highly beneficial to those who work in mines or hills.
