National Efficiency, He Declares,
Must Rest Upon Efficiency
Methods of Living.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2.—"I am
vow completing a study which seems
v-d 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
as 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 a*
least $650 for efficiency. This 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 efficient, hence
national efficiency must rin 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 efficiency
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?”
ICE CREAM CONES BREAK

“hunger strike.” The heat helped the
sulks. Cy DeVry, keeper, fed the
bears with ice cream cones—heaps
and heaps of them—until Mr. Bear
and his wife began to think icebergs
grew in Chicago and could be eaten.
They have decided to stick around
during the summer.

Bank Officials Declare Launder
ing Foils Tellers’ Delicate
Touch—Want It Abolished.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Another
of the currency innovations intro
duced during the regime of Franklin
MacVeagh while Secretary of the
Treasury is being fought by members
of the party now in power. This is
the washed money division.
Efforts have been made to develop
opposition among bankers to ‘laun
dered money.” most of it based oi the
ground that the economy works to the
encouragement of counterfeiting. A
number of letters have been received
condemning the washing of money by
the Government. These letter.- have
been filed with the Senate by Senator
Martine of New Jersey.
Bank Head Voices Protest.
Charles McCulloch, president »f the
Hamilton National Bank of Fort
Wayne, Ind.. son of Hugh McCulloch,
who was Secretary of the Treasury
under President Arthur, voi e» ‘he
general sentiment expressed in these
letters. He says:
“The washing business is -i string
economical proceeding for \ great
Government like ours. Toe Bank < f
England never pays out :■ i.oie tin
second time. Certainly this Govern
ment is rich enough and should have
pride enough to keep in circulation
fairly clean bills without resorting to
the washing process.”
Say Bank Tellers Compla'n.
According to hank presidents who
oppose the innovation, there is a gen
eral complaint from bank teller?
against washed money. They assert
that not only do washed notes lose a
degree of the sharpness of engraving,
but the washing process changes the
paper in a way difficult to describe
making it similar to the paper of most
counterfeits, removing the protection
of the delicacy of touch by which most
tellers detect counterfeits.
Already the plan of Mr. MacVeagh
to change the pize of the currency
notes has been vetoed by the present
Administration. There has been no
expression from the Administration as
yet on washed money.

mer Colony,
NEWPORT. R. I.. Aug. 2.—The Par-
isian parasol carried by the beautiful
new Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
(Margaret*EmersoR-McKim), who has
just come from the “other side,” is the
sensation of Newport. Its chief fea
ture is the representation, on each
“panel,” of a frolicsome cat.
All the society leaders are asking
each other where in the world she got
it. Mrs. Vanderbilt is not at all in
clined to say. The parasol is quite
the most distinguished affair that has
made its appearance at Newport the
present season.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has brought over
quite the finest assortment of new
frocks, hats, parasols and Louis
Quinze shoes the Rue de la Palx can
turn out. These include confections
from Doucet, Worth, Felix, Redfern
and Virot, and some of the new Ni
ninche hats so much in vogue at this
time at Newport, Deauville and Long-

False Pretense in
Love Ruled No Crime
Married Man, Who Wrote Girl He

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Attempting to
“obtain love under false pretense”
not an offense punishable by law,
according to developments resulting
from a complaint mad^ by Florence
Smith, 16 years old, of this city,
against Edgar Phillips, a traveling
salesman. Love is neither a com
modity nor cash, so the police only
could warn the alleged “love pirate”
to behave himself.
Phillips said he advertised for a
stenographer, and wrote a “friendly
letter” to Miss Smith, in which he
described himself as “a real gentle
manly young fellow, who can do hl«
share toward producing happiness.”
He told the police he Is married and
lives 1n New Castles. Pa. He came to
Chicago and was lonely.

Automatic Switches Blow Out When
Body Comes in Contact With
Wires and Bring Aid.
WATERTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 2.—
While working about the transformer
in the Black River generating plant
of the Watertown Light and Power
Company, J. S. Koines, an electrician,
received 11.000 volts of electricity to
day and still lives.
The contact of the wires with the
man’s body caused the automatic
switches to blow out with a flash that
was noticed in the Watertown plant
and caused an investigation.
When found Koines was uncon
scious and lay among the transform
ers, his right side badly burned. He
was brought to the Sisters’ ! {ospital
here and revived.
Wild Turkeys, Geese, Brant and
Ducks Have Disappeared From
Missouri In Century.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 2.—“Save the
birds of Missouri,” was the earnest
admonition of D. C. Allen in his ad
dress to the Kansas City Hospital
Society.
He predicted the complete extinc
tion of song birds from the State un
less measures are taken to re-estab
lish their natural habitats.
“A hundred years ago wild turkeys
were so plentiful in Missouri only
the white meat was eaten,” Mr. Allen
said. “Geese, brants and ducks lined
every sandbar on the Missouri. Mock
ing birds and songsters were far
more numerous than to-day.”
Farmer Out in Kansas Plants Eyeless
Tubers and Finds New
Species in Fall.
SENECA, KAN?., Aug. 2.—Potatoes
without tops are being grown by J. C.
Monney, a farmer, near Oneida. Two
years ago Mr. Monney had trouble in
getting seed potatoes. Finally a
dealer offered him some which he
said, however, he considered poor, as
they had few eyes. Mr. Monney
bought some of them, and picked up
those which appeared to have the best
eyes.
He planted two rows. Apparently
the potatoes were what the dealer
said; very few sprouts appeared.
Monney allowed the rows to run to
weeds. but when he plowed the
ground in the fall, was surprised to
find that the share threw out big po
tatoes.
Struck with this peculiarity, Mr.
Monney discarded all the potatoes
which had eyes, and a year ago last
spring planted only the eyeless tubers.
When he dug Into the ground last
fall he found a big crop of potatoes.
The topless potatoes are slightly
different in appearance from the reg
ular tubers, but there is no difference
in the taste. The crop averages about
the same as potatoes with tops, but
the big advantage to them in their
favor ie that there is no danger to
them from early frosts and insect
pests.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.—In a
letter written by Mark Twain shortly
before his death, to H. P. Wood, of
Honolulu, the celebrated humorist
said: “Yours is the loveliest fleet of
islands that lies* anchored in any
ocean.”
Mark Twain had spent many years
of his lift flitting from deck to deck
of that lovely fleet of islands. In his
day, it was a long and tiresome jour
ney to the Hawaiian Islands. It was
a journey made up of various “re-
shipments,” as Mark Twain himself
put it.
With the Panama Canal in opera
tion, the elysium fleet of the Pacific
may be reached from the Eastern
states of America in a direct route,
shorter and easier than previously.
Hawaii is anxious to Impress that
fact upon tlie world, and it has been
decided that no better opportunity
could be afforded for that impression
than the Panama-Pacific Exposition
in 1915.
An appropriation of $100,000 has
been made and is about to be in
creased very probably lo $200,000, a
sum which will most likely be supple
mented by an additional side appro
priation of $50,000 or $100,000.
Freak Fish in Exhibit.
The Hawaiian exhibit will be con
tained in two main sections. The one
section will be comprised of a vast
aquarium containing all the speci
mens of the remarkable kinds of fish
that color the waters of the Pacific In
the neighborhood of the Hawaiian
I .‘■'hinds’. Fish with pennants on them,
yards long; fish the shape of pine
apples and just as prickly; fish with
eyes all over them, and fish with no
eyes at all; fish that walk on the bed
of the sea. and fish that fly over the
surface; fish that are black as Ink.
and fish that are colored like coral;
fi.-'h that glitter as if with coats of
sapphire, and fish that look like
chunks cut out of a rainbow—all these
will be there; and, to show that the
same waters can produce even an or-
dinsry-looking kind of fish, there will
be shoals of the famous mullet which
is declared by expert epicur* se to pro
vide the most delectable dinner dish
in the world.
From this there will be a roadway
loading to the other and larger sec
tion of the exhibit. This roadway
will be a model in miniature of the
famous “Volcano road,” which Is
known colloquially as “The road to
hell.”
Fern Road Into “Volcano.”
The road, cutting almost In a
straight line, seven miles long,
through the most beautiful fern for
est in the world, leads direct into the
pit of the great active volcano, Ki-
lauea. The replica of this wonder
ful road will lead from the aqua
rium into the pit of a perfect work
ing model of the giant volcano.
Kilauea. belching forth clouds of
steam, bubbling with rumbling acres
of red-hot lava, rolling and heaving
and spitting and roaring, like the
safety valve of the Pacific, which is
one of the wonders of the world.
The cast for the model of Kilauea
is now being made by one of the
cleverest experts in that kind of work
in America. It will be 50 feet in
diameter across the crater and will
cost as many thousands of dollars :o
build and work. This will be the
center attraction of the second sec
tion of the , Hawaiian exhibit. The
remainder of this section will be taken
up with iadramas of scenes in the is
lands.
At the extreme end of the inclosure
there will be another model as rea'
istic as the dne of Kilauea. This will
be of the extinct volcano, Mauna
Loa. This is the largest crater in
the world and 4s surrounded by some
of the most wonderful of scenic won
ders. It will be reproduced in all its
glory.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2.—Miss Chris
tine Fischer, who had slept uninter
ruptedly for 150 hours, following a
tennis match, regained consciousness
to-day at the Jewish Hospital.
Miss Fischer made the following
statement:
“I was awfully tired. My work as
a school-teacher has been most wear
ing. and for a month I have felt as
though I could sleep a million years.
“i went out on the hot tennis court
Monday afternoon, and when I went
to dinner I sat on the edge of the bed
to rest myself.
“Suddenly I felt myself going, sink
ing. sinking, and I must have fallen
asleep then, for I can remember noth
ing more.
“It’s just six days taken out of my
life, that’s all. I didn't feel anything
unusual, but I do feel greatly re
freshed now, though I’m very weak.
The doctors say I will be all right in a
week or so, and won’t feel any effects
of the sleep.”

BONNE TERRE. MO.. August 2 —
Although he was brought up in the
lead mining business and was assist
ant manager of one of the largest
lead companies of the United States,
at a salary approximating that of a
Cabinet Minister, with a $14,000 house
rent free, Girard S. Parsons has re
signed his official duties with the St.
Joseph Lead Company., a $20,000,000
corporation, and will turn farmer.
Parson’s* will go to the farm at
Riverside. Mo., with his wife, who
was Mips Flora Bowman, daughter
of Dr. G. A. Bowman, of No. 3605
Delmar Boulevard, St. Louis.
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 Pardons will re
move, while it has no more than 400
acres, probably Is the best-developed
in Southern Missouri. Virtually the
eptire 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 Parsons will add
to his meager knowledge by taking
the winter course 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 hip 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 hip attention particularly to the
growing of fancy live stock.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Fame

And, further, he has written to
Senator Lewis about the other who
are not so cheerful, saying:
“Save ’em, Senator, from the wrath
