‘One-Time Sand-Hog, Now Rich Man, Will Guide Windsors on U. S. Tour belgie Oct. 28—(#)—When the the top of the world on the a bright idea. Charles E. Bedaux, a smart, influential in career as a sand-hog on a New York subway construction project. ‘When he was mucking underground «he saw what he conceived to be a waste of energy among the workers. His bright idea was the result, a method whereby human energy and machine energy might be meshed with maximum results and minimum wear and tear. Its measure is the “Bedaux unii” or “Bedaux hour,” a yard-stick of productive human energy in various technical process, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1937 Workers are timed on each opera- tion to provide a standard of produc- tion, or so many “B units” an hour. I2 a worker meets the standard he gets a moderate bonus above his basic wage. If a worker exceeds the “Byunit” standard, he receives 175 per cent of the added money thus earned for his employer. Bedaux sold his idea to a chemical firm, They proclaimed the Bedaux system a success. He wrote a novel, fictionizing nis idea. Big panjandrums of industry bought it at $25 a copy. Commerciai solvents helped build his fortune. Bedaux did not know Mrs. Wallis Warfield when he placed his chateau at her disposal. He explained at the time why he turned over the chateau: “My wife and I believe that when two people sacrifice so much for love. they are entitled to the admiration and utmost consideration of those who still believe in this ideal.” Point Out Error In Army Figures Central N. D. Water Supply Es- timates Based on Red River Flow at Grand Forks Editor's Note: Water and sew- age benefits alone are estimated at $15,719,901 in the recent re- port of the state water commis- sion on the proposed Missouri river diversion plan, as revised. ‘These benefits are detailed on this fourth of a series from the com- mission’s report. The commission cannot concur in the conclusion of the army district engineer that the benefit to water supply to be derived from the adop- on of the Missouri river project can be taken as the difference between the cost of projects involving river regulation and the total cost for proj- ects based on using diverted water. Later information shows conclu- sively that the assumption that ade- quate water supplies can be obtained by river regulation alone is not justi- Tied. An example will illustrate: In the war department report. James and Sheyenne river basins, North Da- kota and South Dakota, 1935, the district engineer makes calculations which show that the Arrowhead res- qervoir, above Jamestown, if equipped with regulation works, would provide @ regulated flow on the James of 2,227 acre-feet during each three- month period (12.2 cubic feet per sec- ond). The calculations of water sup- Ply are constructed from records for the Red river at Grand Forks. Need 15-Foot Flow While the commission desires to point out that a flow of 12.2 cubic feet per second is inadequate and believes that a minimum regulated ‘ flow-of 75 cubic feet per second should be provided, it also declares that the proposed regulating works would not yield a regulated flow of 12.2 cubic feet per second. A dam creating Arrowhead reservoir was built in 1930, and also a dam on the south end of Jim lake. Relative to this reservoir, Burnie Maurek, acting re- gional director of the U. 8, Bureau of Biology survey, states: “Bince the construction of these Cams, there was only one time and that was for a very short period, that there was any water going over the dam at Arrowhead lake.” 2 No source of municipal water sup- ply could be considered as satisfac- tory which failed to provide any water for seven consecutive years. hy is apparent that one cannot take records of the discharge of the Red river at Grand Forks, where the otream receives a large part of its water supply from the lake region of Minnesota, and apply those rec- ords to the streams in the central part of North Dakota without danger of grave error. Other in Error This criticism, it appears, woula apply to other caiculations made in the same manner such as those for Baldhill reservoir on the Sheyenne.

Holtis, are Minneapolis, Oct. 28—(7)— The Journal Thursday quoted Mort Lewin, Chicago ticket broker re- ported to be offering Notre Dame-Minnesota football tickets at a premium in Chicago, as say- ing the whole thing was a “rib.” He said it started when he told a Minneapolis attorney, jokingly, that “all the good tickets” for the game were in Chicago, and was built up from there when the attorney apparently took him HL Pvickien, “couldn't under- stand” Lewin’s story. He is the attorney who said he had been re- tained by the syndicate in Chi- cago. ‘I saw lots of tickets,” Mr. Men- dow said. “Something must have happened.” Minneapolis, Oct. 28. — (®) — Les Schroeder, ticket manager at the University of Minnesota, said Thurs- day that the university will refuse admission Saturday to persons hold- ing football tickets for which more than the original purchase price has been paid. Schroeder said that government regulations stamped on the back of each ticket informed the purchaser that it would “not be honored if sold or offered for re-sale at more than the price printed thereon.” “Each ticket must have the pi chase price printed on the fron he said, adding he was informed a Chicago brokerage firm headed by Mort Lewin planned to offer tickets in sections 2, 5, 29 and 30 for the Notre Dame game Saturday at $6.60. “There will be internal revenue agents stationed at these gates in an attempt to halt scalping,” Schroeder An appraisal of the benefits to| said. public water supplies and sewage dis- posal from the proposed Missouri river civession: Peaiees prepared by the North department of health under the direction of State CSCC #_F ’ «LIFE BEGINS IN COLLEGE” MR.

At Johnstown, Pa., the Stonycreek river climbed toward a predicted crest of ten feet tonight, which would be within two feet of flood stage. Weather experts predicted that the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at Pittsburgh would be within three feet of the 25-foot stage Friday. Potomac river backwater rose even with the streets in storm sewers in the business section of Cumberland. Md. Half of Rigdley, W. Va., across the river was under wate! Many of West Virginia's smalle: | streams were out of their banks and some lowland residents moved to higher ground. On the coast of the state of Wash- ington torrential rains sent rivers climbing toward flood stage, and wind ripped down several power lines.
