Statistics Show That British Factory Employees Are at Their Best About Midweek. What is the best workday !n Amer- fea? In England it is Thursday. That is the finding of industrial re- search board investigators of that country. The London Chronicle reports that over a period of twenty weeks the output was registered and “graphs” were made. The workers gave their best on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the output on Saturday was invariably low. When doubled (to equalize time) it is often less than 75 per cent of that on other days. Another important conclusion was that the skilled workman is much more regular in his output than the worker not so well qualified. He does not get the “tired Saturday feeling” 80 BOOD. In some factories the output arises until Friday, but among the less skilled workmen it was found that Thurs- day was the best working day. An important consideration which the investigators kept in mind was that of the atmospheric condition in which work is done. Records of the alr conditions have been taken with the output records, In various plants the Saturday out- put was so low that employers found it unprofitable to operate, so they closed down. From this it would ap- pear that on a half day the worker does not give the average of a half day of production.—Richard Spillane in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. BOMBAY A CITY OF BEGGARS Government is Planning Severe Meas- ures to Repress Nulsance That Is Becoming Intolerable. Some time ago the government of Bombay appointed a committee to con- sider and formulate proposals for the | | purpose of suggesting practical meas- ures whereby the ever-growing uuls: ance of professiona! beggary migt®t be abolished. The committee has now completed its investigation and issued a report. The report shows that there are in Bombay city alone 5,000 professional beggars, and the beggars in other parts bring the total for the presi- dency to over 60,000. The general | conclusions of the committee are that there must be introduced at the earl!- | est opportunity an act for the preven- tion of professional beggary, which will be applicable to the whole of the presidency. Sadhus and fakirs, it is suggested, should be exempt from the operations of the act, which it Is proposed should make begging a cognizable offense. Those who have visited India will doubtless recall with feelings of horror | the terrible sights they have witnessed of beggars, many of them physical wrecks and suffering from loathsome diseases, seated about War Maps for Envelopes. From the Red Cross Bulletin of the Baltic states, published at Riga: “The shortage of paper has resulted | in many novel makeshifts. One of these is the use of German and Rus- sian official war maps as material for envelopes. “Large quantities of war maps of the Russian, the German imperial army and Bermont’s western volunteer army | were captured by the Letts since their Independence in November, 1918. They were sold to private Interests, who | make many varieties of envelopes from them. The paper is of excellent qual- ity. “No attempt was made to remove | the map proper. The maps were stm- | ply folded and cut to size and glued. | It is very convenient to open a letter and find that the tnside of the envelope is a map of the district of which the letter treats.” Houses Few—Less Divorce. France ts finding one comfort in the hofising shortage. Divorces are de- creasing in Paris and other French cities “because of the lack of houses and apartments.” Unable to find suitable places tn which to live apart, disgruntled cou- ples in many places are composing | their differences and continuing to live under the same roof. During the first three months of this year, 8,005 decrees were pronounced alone, but since April the shortage of has | the roads so- | passersby.—From | in Paris | houses has been making itself felt, | with the result that the number of divorce actions has been falling stead- ily. Last month the number of ap- plications fell below éne thousand, and this month it 1s believed the number will not reach the seven hundred mark. Tt is an iM wind, ete. Prehistoric Graveyard Unearthed. | $70,000, A prehistoric graveyard believed to | be at least 2,000 years old has been unearthed near Stargard West Prus- sia, by German investigators under | the direction of Professor Zakrewskt. In one of the graves the excavators found six black urns and one red urn with white stripes filled with clay and ashes. Among the remains were some glittering substances which the inves- tigators believe once had been adorn- ments of prehistoric men and women. Electricity In White House. The White House ts probably more intricately equipped electrically than any other residence in the werld There are in the house more than 176 miles of wires, providing for 8,000 in- candescent lights, a bell system and a private telephone system for the pres- ident and his family, exclusively. — rere } | ugees who left their country after the | which had broken out during the pas- | SHE IS RYAN LEGATEE } Miss Dorothy L.
