Or. Scott Nearing, of U. of P.,
Says Five Persons Need $650
to $1,000 for Efficiency.
THE STANDARD OF LIVING
National Efficiency, He Declares,
Must Rest Upon Efficiency
Methods of Living.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2.—“I am
now completing a study which seems
to Justify the statement that three-
fifths of the jobs offered to adult
males in this part of the United
States do not pay enough wages to
enable the men who take them to
maintain a wife and three children in
decency.''
In these words Dr. Scott Nearing, of
the Wharton School, University of
Pennsylvania, summarized an elab
orate investigation, which he has
been conducting, of wages, prices and
standards of living.
"There are two standards by which
you may judge the sufficiency of a
wage,” continued Dr. Nearing.
“In the first place, you may ask,
'Will this wage keep a family above
the starvation line?' In the second
place, you may ask. Will this wage
provide the necessities and decencies
of modern living?’
"The first standard has been aban
doned long ago. Everyone takes it
for granted that people shall not
starve to death. In a country as rich
a a the United States everyone has a
right."
Cost Does Not Vary.
"The variation in the cost of the
different items of the family budget is
not so extensive as has sometimes
been assumed. The comparative ta
bles prepared for the British Board of
Trade show that food and rent—th >
two largest items of the family budget
—do not vary greatly from one city to
another.
“On the other hand, the intensive
studies made by Chapin in New York,
by the Federal authorities in Fall
River, North Carolina and Georgia, by
Miss Byington in ‘Homestead,’ by the
New York committee in Buffalo, all
tend to the same conclusion—name
ly, that a family of five, a man, wife
and three children under 14. require
from $400 to $600 to provide sub
sistence, and from $650 to $1,000 to In
sure efficiency.
“The variations occur to some ex
tent between cities, but largely be
tween cities and towns. Generally
speaking, rents and produce are lower
in the small towns than in the cities.
Nevertheless, the facts at hand indi
cate that a family of five needs at
least $400 for th*> maintenance, and
least *650 for efficiency. Thie Income
may be in the form of money or of
goods.
Some Wages Satisfactory.
“The statistics showing the wages
of adult males are, In several cases,
very satisfactory.
"The prevalence of the 'efficiency
idea’ In the industrial, political, re
ligious and social atmosphere makes
anv further plea for its extension su
perfluous. Even the fastest runners
may read the plain writing on the
signboards of progress. The dullest
of wits have grasped the Idea of using
sharp tools. Whether behind the gun
or behind the steam shovel, the man
must be accurate, keen, vigorous, en
ergetic. Efficiency pays.
"Perhaps the efficiency Idea has
taken the strongest hold in Germany,
but America has been quick to follow
her rival’s lead. From the conserva
tion of resources to the icing of milk,
from the stitching of a shoe to the
welding of a rivet, efficiency, scientific
management, is the apotheosis.
All Depends on Manhood.
“Conservation, icing, stitching, riv
eting—even scientific management
Itself—depend, in the last analysis,
upon muscle, brain and virility. Ef
ficiency is based on manhood. Man
hood involves good feeding, sanitary-
housing, adequate clothing, recreation
and education. The nation which
provides these things for its citizens
Is efficient; the nation which fails to
provide them is not efficiet.c, hence
national efficiency must res#’. in the
last analysis, on efficiency standards
of living.
"The problems involved In wages,
prices and living standards thus as
sume a grave importance in national
policy. The question of the emclency
or inefficiency of living conditions
forges to the front as one prime in
terest. How many battleships shall
we build? Shall we wage war? Can
this foreign market be conquered?
Ask, rather, whether the standard of
American living will man the ships,
and the regiments, and produce with
such efficiency as to secure a market
How much efficiency will the standard
of American workingmen permit?"

According to bank presidents who

against washed monev. Thfcy assert
that not only do washed notes lose a

but the washing process changes the

counterfeits, removing the protection
of the delicacy i»f touch by which most

An Heir to Millions.
Parsons Is one of the five heirs to
the estate of C. B. Parsons, who first
developed the lead belt of St. Fran
cois County and left a fortune esti
mated at between $5,000,000 and $6,-
000,000.
The farm to which Parsons wdll re
move, while it has no more than 400
acres, probably is the bef*t-developed
in Southern Missouri. Virtually the
entire farm Is lighted with large elec
tric arc lights.
Tiled and graveled roads, built by
the late millionaire miner, gridiron
the estate. Along the Iron Mountain
Railway tracks, which bound the es
tate on the West, is a 10-foot wall of
solid masonry one-half mile long.
To Take Farm Course.
Not having had much experience In
agriculture, young Parson.* will add
to his meager knowledge by taking
the winter cour.se at Missouri State
University, that known as the "short
horn course."
It was when Parsons* salary as as
sistant general manager was cut that
he tendered hi* resignation and turn
ed to bucolic pursuit.
He will retain his stock in both the
St. Joseph and Doe Run Lead com
panies, each of which for years has
paid a regular 6 per cent annual divi
dend. aside from large surpluses, out
of which stock dividends are declared
from time to time.
In his new pursuit Parsons will de
vote hit# attention particularly to the
growing of fancy live stock.
G. 0. P. Postmaster
Discharges Himself
Republican Sends in Resignation on
Theory That To the Victor Be
longs Spoils. \
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Fame
i.w following close upon the footsteps
of H. M. Martin, postmaster at Shel-
byville, III. He is the only Repub
lican postmaster in Illinois who
cheerfully sent In his resignation
without being asked for it, to make
I way for a Democrat.
1 And, further, he has written to
Senator Lewis about the other who
are not so cheerful, saying:
"Save ’em, Senator, from the w r rath
of the. powers that be; otherwise they
will be minus a few' thousand In sal
ary. AnJ to the men up the sapling.
It looks much as if it is the fear
of this that is driving them to th*
limit of exposing the yellowishly dis
gusting streaks in their composition.
And sympathy expended on the ‘yel
low'’—whether in man, monkey or ca
nine—is sympathy wasted.
“Very respectfully,
"H. M. MARTIN,
Postmaster.
"Commission expires January 16,
1915.
“Resignation filed May 15, 1913.
"To the victor belongs the spoils.’*
Hen Held Prophet of
Lost Tribe's Advent
Chicken Lays Eggs Eight Inches
Long Bearing Inscriptions, De
clare Hebrew Colonists.
BENTON HARBOR MICH., Aug.
2.—A wonderful hen that lays eggs
eight inches long, bearing Biblical in
scriptions and mystic letters, has stir
red profoundly the colony of Israelites
located here. On the first of these
seventeen eggs appeared the inscrip
tion, "Of Benjamin."
When Biddy laid a second with the
inscription "Benjamin and Mary,
1915,” she cackled her throat sore.
Finally, when she laid the seven
teenth egg. labeled "Revelation—Ga
briel name," she laid her head over
the edge of ftie fancy nest and used
her pretty comb on her proud plum
age.
The good elders are keeping careful
guard over the hen and her silken
nest. They believe the inscribed eggs
foretell the coming to Benton Har
bor of the lost tribe of the Israelites.
