SUNDA7. JUNE *i.
THE FRENCH CARRY
ECONOMY 10 EXCESS
Paris. —Simon W. Straus, cf Chicago,
Hit president of the American Society
for' Thrift has just finished several
months of inquiry on the Continent into
the ovi£ins of economy among European
peoples.
“J should say that a French family
can live off of what an American family
wastes," said Mr. Straus. “The princi
pal reason, of course, is in a habit of
mind, in a way of looking upon the rela
tive values of efficient living as com
pared with inefficient and wsateful liv
ing. One may be as extravagant with
a dollar as with a million.
“Now. the self-denial of the French in
food and in other necessities of living
often is c .Tried into what I should con
sider excess, but there is nevertheless
thoughtful. intelligent thrift in the
French household which contributes to
the happiness and well being of every
member. It is that sort of thrift which
I should like tc see cultivated in Ameri
can families —a careful adjustment, ac
cording to a thought-out plan of the do
mestic budget, so much for rent, food,
clothing, education, the dowry of the
daughter, the amusements of every
member of the family, the provision for
emergencies and old age.
“When -a scheme of expenditure is
adopted in the French home—and every
French home, it is said, is a parliament
—and carried out, every item of expen
diture can be made with a certain con
tentment or even joy because it is known
to be a harmonious relation with the
whole. This makes French amusements
qo thoroughly enjoyed because there is
no feeling of extravagance on' the part of
those amusing themselves. They take
their amusements, and what might be to
the observer indulgences, happily and
without inward sense of discomfort and
wrong doing because these expenses fit
into the rational scale of living which
has been wrought out earnestly and ra
tionally.
“The French people are wonderful
hoarders. They seem to keep their sav
ings hidden at home more than on de
posit at banks. A bond issue of the
government or one of the great credit
institutions is usually taken up without
affecting to any great extent the de
posits in the great banks. Persons evi
dently of the lower middle and lower
classes will often stay all night in front
of the office of issue in line for an early
opportunity to buy a S2O bond. Often
several members of a family will unite
to buy a low denomination bond. The
holders of such securities change their
point of view, they look upon life dif
ferently when they nave even a small
interest in the government or one of the
great industrial or business companies. I
think we in America ought to insist on
states and cities issuing their bonds for
public subscription in small denomina
tions instead of selling them in great
blocks to persons who resell them to
the public at a profit.”

Class Distinction to become
Obscure and Finally Disappear
That is if the Teachings of Christ Are to Be Victorious and a
Broader Christianity is to Be Realized, Said Judge Henry
C. Hammond at Annual Meeting of Augusta Federation of
Trades.
At the annual meeting of the Au
pusta Federation ot Trades on Wed
nesday night last Judge Henry C.
Hammond delivered an address which
made a splendid impression.
The judge said in part:
"1 shall quote from a distinguished
modern writer with whose views I
largely concur. They may stem radi
cal to some of us, but in the main,
I believe them sound.
, " 'The working man of today reads,
talks, has general ideas and a sense
of the round world; he is far nearer
to the ruler of today in knowledge
and intelectual range than he is to life
working man of fifty years ago. The
politician or business- magnate of to
day is no better educated and very
little better informed than his equals
were fifty years ago. The working
man questions a thousand tilings his
fathei accepted as in the very nature
of tlie world, and among others lie
begins to ask with the utmost alert
ness and persistence why it is that
he in particular is expected to toil.'
“The intimate psychology of work
is a thing altogether too little con
sidered and discussed. One asks:
'What keeps a workman working prop
erly at his work?’ And it seems a
sufficient answer to say that it is
the need of getting a living. Hut that
is not the complete answer. Work
must to some extent interest; if it
bores, no power on earth will keep
a man doing it properly. Habit also
counts very largely in the regular re
turn of the man to his job, and the
fluctuations of employment break that
habit of industry. And then, last but
not least, there is self-respect. Men
and women are capable of wonders of
self-discipline "aiur effort if they feel
that theirs is a meritorious service, if
they imagine the things they are do
ing is the thing they ought to do.
“From i- e engineer who planned the
power house and dam at Stevens Creek
to the man who fired a hoisting en
gine, every heart was inspired by the
grandeur of the work —the thing to
be done, a great river in its ancient
downward drop to the sea was being
stayed by man's will. There was more
in it to the engineer than the thous
ands of dollars that paid for his plans,
more in it to the fireman than his dol
lar and a half a day. Every man
who took part in the construction of
the Empire building consciously or
subconsciously said to himself: 'I had
a hand in it.’ In a thousand ways
this feeling manifests itself. It is the
same feeling which inspires great
armies of men, whether engaged in
peaceful or warlike pursuits.
“The force of self-respect is much
more acutely present in the mind of
the modern worker than it was in the
thought of his fathers. He is intel
lectually more active than his prede
cessors, his imagination is relatively
stimulated, he asks wide questions.
The worker of a former generation
took himself for granted; it is a new
phase when the toilers begin to ask,
not one man here or there, but in
masses, in ..attalions, in trades; 'Why,
then, are WE toilers, and for what
is it we toil?’
"A large part of the task of re
construction ahead of us will consist
in the working out of schemes for a
more permanent type of employment
and for a direct participation of the
, worker in the pride, profits and di
Official Records To Be Recognized By All
Nations; Made By International
Amateur Athletic Federation
Lyons, France. — Official records to
be recognized by all nations as an abso
lute innovation in the history of ath
letics, have been drawn up by the rec
ords committee of the International
Amateur Athletic Federation meeting.
Innumerable records for special dis
tances have been eliminated, also all
records except those made on the track-
Among the records to be tup. ed down
is M. W. l.ong's performance at Get
tenburg in 1900. when he did 400 yards
in 42 1-5 seconds.
The committee decided to eliminate
all records above 25 miles or 40 kilo
metres and also records all above two
hours, on the ground that contests at
greater distances would be exhausting
and should not be encouraged.
The only record that will be recog
nized in the future by the International
Athletic Federation, if the report of
the committee is adopted, are the fol
lowing:
Held By Kelley.
One hundred yards, held by Kelly;
200 yards, Wefers, Craig, Kelly and
I.iPpincott; 440, yards, I-ong; 000 yards,
Sheppard; 880 yards, Meredith; 1,320
yards, Conneff; one mile, Jones; 1,000
yards, Sheppard; all American records.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine and ten miles, all held hy
Shrubb, England. Fifteen miles. Ap
pleby, England; twenty miles, C. Cross
land, England; twenty-five miles, H.
Green, England.
One hour, Jean Ronun, France; two
hours, H. Green. England.
One hundred and twenty yard hur
dles (3 1-2 feet) and 220 yard hur
dles (2 1-2 feet), held by Americans;
440 yard hurdles (3 feet) G. R. L. An
derson, England.
Standing and running high jump
and standing broad Jump, held by
Americans: running broad Jump, held
by P. O’Connor. Ireland.
Mile Walk.
Walking one mile, held hy George
Goulding, Canada; two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten
miles all held by O. E. learner Eng
land; fifteen, twenty and twenty-five
miles, held respectively by H. V. Ross.
T. Grifllths and S. C. A Schofield, all
of England; one hour, held by Turner;
two hours, Ross, England.
Relay races, four runners, 880 yards,
not indicated, as no track record ex
ists; one mile, two miles and four
milesf where all the competitors ran
the same distance) held by Americans;
hoP. step and Jump, IB pound hammer
throw, IS pound shot, 56 pound weight,
discus (’’ feet circle), all held hy Ameri
cans,
Javelin Tossing.
Throwing the Javelin, held bv Lem
ming. Sweden.
No records made since the beginning
of 1914 have been considered by the
committee. Thus, among American
performers, the recent record made by
Howard Drew at San Francisco in the
100-yards and that made by E J. Bee
son, in the high jump, will be includ
ed in the list next, year if upheld by
rection of the work. Such schemes
admit of wide variation between a
mere bonus system, a periodic tipping
of the employes to prevent their strik
ing. and a "eal and honest eo-partnery.
In the Ford automobile work wonder
ful forward steps have been taken
along these lines. Every nmn. woman
and child s the inspiration and up
lifting consciousness that the work in
hand is theirs; that they are to share
in its success; {hat over and above
tin- stated wage the profits shall be
sliar d by them. The expression
'scientific management’ has a wonder
ful meaning in its relation to the
working man. We see other things
now than his mere physical strength,
his vital endurance. Mis intellect, his
inspiration are taken into account. A
i wonderful book lias been published by
Mr. Taylor of Phtlauelphia, entitled
Shop Management. He shows how the
right man temperamentally is put at
the work that suits him —the work
that he can do best. Mr. Taylor has
■shown men who tote ninety dx-peund
bars of pig iron up a chicken plank
into a gondola car how to tote forty
eight tons with less exertion than they
formerly carried twelve and a half
tons. He has shown brick-layers, a
trade as old as the Egyptians, how
they can do their work with ease and
efficiency by entirely new methods.
“I am beginning to suspect that
scarcely any of our preconceptions
about the way work must be done,
about tli hours of work and tile hab
its o.' work, will stand an exhaus
tive scientific analysis. It is at least
conceivable that \\e could get much
of the work that has to be done to
keep our community going in far mor«
toil-saving and life-saving ways than
We follow at the present time. So
far scientific men have done scarcely
anything to estimate under what con
ditions a man works best, does most
work, works more happily.
"There are signs that point to a
growing antagonism between differ
ent classes, but in the great social
struggle going on before., us, there are
counter signs—signs of tolerance, of
democracy, of fraternalism, of broth
erhood, For my part 1 believe these
last mentioned forces are the ones that
will triumph. If the teachings of
Christ arc to be victorious, if a broad
er Christianity is to be realized, then
class distinction must become more
and more obscure and finally disap
pear entirely from the social order.
“And from the labor class itself we
are also justified jri demanding a far
more effectual contribution to the Na
tional Conference than it is making at
the present time.
“The labor thinker has to become
definite in his demands and clearer
upon the give and take that will be
necessary before they can he satis
fied. He has to realize rather more
generously than he has done so far
the enormous moral difficulty there is
iu bringing people Who have been
prosperous and at an advantage all
their lives to the pitch of even con
templating a social re-organization
that may minimize or destroy their
precedence. We have all to think, to
think hard and think generously, and
there is not a man in the country to
day, even though his hands are busy
at work, whose brain may not be
helping in this great task of social
re-arrangement which lies before us
all."
the federation. The list will be re
vised once yearly.
A similar list has been compiled by
records in the metric system. They in
clude, the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600,
1,000. 1,500, 3,000. 5,000 and 10,000
walking. 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 metres,
hurdles, 110, 200 and 400 metres, with
respectively the same height of hur
dles as the Anglo-American games.
Discuss Kind of Rifles;
International Shooting
Paris—A discussion as to the rifles
to be used in international shooting
contests took up the greater part of
today’s session of the International
Olympic Congress.
Over the objections of the Ameri
can delegates the congress decided
that the country where the meet was
held should select the arms.
~ Six-horse riding events today were
I laced on the Olympic program.
They are composed of military raan
uevers, single jumping, team Jump
ing, elimnation high jump, cross
country riding and a competition Tot
