W ITS efforts to deal with the present crisis the country faces, adverse conditions certain to develop from two disturbing factors: Economy and Inefficiency. Eoonomy is being urged without due regard for the effect on inBuetry and regular currents of trade. ( It is always possible to economize by stopping the purchase of w@ficles more or less necessary. But such economy is bound to pro- @ese stagnation in manufacturing and distress in trade because it (aerfores with the normal movement of money. Che amount of money in the country is never increased by econ- Money is only « counter or token used to facilitate the transfer walnes. In order that business may proceed in « prosperous and way the flow of money must not be checked—as it will be if and needless ideas of economy have sway. ven extravagant expenditure may not do harm. But on tho ier band, excess in cost over the real value of articles produced and @@B does great harm both to the individual @urchaser and to th pemalth-creating capacity of the nation. . It is unfortunate that haste to make money has bred much in- @ienay in the United States. This inefficiency takes more and fgpre the form of extravagance in the wasting of material that care . t save or in the turning out of hasty, ill-made products, the in- yr quality of which affects all processes into which they enter. For example: A sorely tried and taxed industry just now is that @ making paper. To form sheets of paper it is necessary that fine wire netting of great length be used. This netting is made of copper and it now costs the paper manufacturer about three times as much ae formerly. The increased cost, however, might pass were it not for the fact that the wire fabric is now 60 slovenly woven that it lasts but half as long as formerly. The present cost of the copper netting therefore represents to the paper maker six times as much as before. But that is not all, or even the worst. Because of the inferior nature of this wire web it is not possible to run the paper-making machines at full speed, with the result that from 10 to 15 per cent. of their capacity for output is lost. But for this iti would be easy to ont more paper—no mean factor in reducing costs and lightening dens, prper being an article in universal use, r ; The «bove is only a sample. A dozen other industries could produce a dozen like it. The waste of poor workmanship, the waste of shoddy material, the waste of inferior products which impair the productive power of every industry that depends on them, the waste of big profits made by debasing standards and ignoring quality—all this is waste that badly needs the attention of Americans, Get efficiency at work along these lines and economy need not VOLUME 57. | D Fiening o Your ‘World Da Bit!

The metre of “God Save the King” ap- pears in the second verse and four lines of La Marseillaise appear in the third. Adapted by Nixola Greeley-Smith. L H say can you see by the dawn’s early light, O Three banners far-flung o’er the ramparts of Glory, > Three standards that battle for Freedom and Right And that hold tn each fold all of Liberty’s story, See the tricolor true with the red-white-and-Dlue, One in spirit, in purpose, in heart and in hue; Welcome back, Union Jack, and {n amity wave With the flag of the free from the homes of the brave! 08 N the field dimly seen through the crouching advance, What is that by the breeze to the battle unfurled? Mid the free men of Britain, the heroes of France The star spangled flag scatters light o'er the world! Symbol of Liberty, lead us to victory, Conquer we must! And this be our motto, “In God Is Our Trust!” When the star spangled banner in triumph ¢hall wave With the flags of the free on the field of the brave, ul. H where is that band who so vauntingly swore O ‘Tiff our riches found root in our souls’ desolation, That the faith of the fathers was In us no more And the Power that had made had not KEPT us a Nation! To arms! Ye sons of France, we wake to glory! Hark, hark! Our myriad free men rise! Your children, wives and grandsires hoary, We heed their tears, we hear their ories! And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave In YOUR land of the free, in YOUR ranks of the brave. —————-+- —____ THE SPORTING LEGION harass us. N The Evening World’s Sporting Legion which parades to-day | New Yorkers have a chance to see assembled some of the huskiest Americans, some of the stoutest hearts, some of the sturdiest frames and strongest sinews so far pledged to the nation’s service. These runners, boxers, ball players, tennis experts, track ath- letes and the rest are as tight-muscled, clean-limbed, clear-eyed boys as Uncle Sam could pick out in a good many days’ search. There they are, some 1,700 of them, ready to serve with the Reval Reserve, the National Guard or anywhere else the country's ealective system may presently find place for them, They have come foward with the spirit of true Americans to offer the strength that fot them—in their case no mean total. The Sporting Legion has an inspiring name, and it has set an fospiring example. The good wishes of all New Yorkers go out to it go credit to American sportsmanship eS Vhree © for Miliukoff!
