COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEI PAGE TWO DUE TO MENTAL IRR1TATI0.N ARCADE THEATER Propensity for Smashing Things Ex plained by British Institute of Industrial Psychology. WEEKLY PROGRAM What mnkes the cook smush dishes, even when she Is not angry, and wlial causes a factory hand to damage |ir<>- duction unintentionally, has been puzzled out by experts of the National Institute of industrial Psychology of Great Britain. Pieces of mental grit get Into human machinery and play hob. A large amount of breakage Is due to mental irritation, which is largely a result of fatigue. The worker who Is not tired has sufficient energy to use In checking his irritability; the worker who lias been performing mechanical motions all day shows his boredom by crashing something to the floor. Breakage becomes epidemic at times, the British experts have found. Where groups of workers are engaged in han dling the same material, excitement, fluster, hurry or irritation In one we tton quickly spreads to another. Where there is a regular flow of material with rush periods It Is found that both the excitement of the rush and the reaction of the slack time damage efficiency nnd incidentally damage the things that are being handled. By In troducing a steady flow of material there Is a noticeable rise In efficiency. Friday, April 27—“The Ixives of Pha raoh,” with Einil Jannings, Dagny Servaes and llarrv Liedtke. And a comedy.

Edd Jenks has been given judg ment in the sum of $0000 against the Oregon and Ohio Mines com pany, operating in the Bohemia dis trict. Foreclosure was ordered on a number of liens on mining claims to secure payment. Models of Politeness Miss Mildred Melville Mallison, the anti vice worker, said in un ad dress nt Pittsburg: “The freedom now granted to women is a gain but it. is ulso a loss. In one of my recent anti-vice campaigns I put up nt n New Orleans hotel. Entering the brenkfast room one morning I found three fat men established I Rugs for Every Room From the best of domestic mills we receive the utmost, in modern rug productions. And these, widely assorted, are here arranged for your convenience in choosing rugs that will exactly fit with your home furnishings. DIDN’T PAY TO KEEP BOOKS there, each with a newspaper and n black cigar. The room was full of smoke. While waiting for my break fast I coughed several times, but nobody took the hint, so I said as if to myself, ‘ll’m! I always under stood that New Orleans inen were models of French politeness.’ The three fat men were on their feet in an instant, smiling and bowing like so many monkeys. ‘ Pardon me, madam, ’ said they in chorus, and each opened and extended to me courteously a cigar case full of big ¡black cigars.“ On the Contrary, New York Store keeper Found He Made Money by Not Doing So. A prominent denizen of Wall Street, who Hummers nt a fashionable seashore resort, was annoyed on his return home to receive a hill for a few small trinkets for which he was sure he had paid pre vious to hfs departure. Having always prided himself on his efficient business methods, and since the same store had done the Identical thing the year be fore, he wrote a scathing letter to the storekeeper, giving his opinion of the man who employed methods which were the direct antithesis of his own. The The armor plate trust is naturally impervious to all attacks of its Incident soon slipped his mind and was not recalled until the following summer enemies. when he happened to pass the store. Ills anger having cooled he determined to give the storekeeper some friendly advice. "Well," said the storekeeper, In reply to his lengthy discourse, "we don’t keep any books and, to tell the truth, It pays us not to. For example, last summer I sold a saddle, but when it came time to make out the bill I couldn’t for the life of me remember who bought It. I finally narrowed It down to four people and sent them all bills. As a result, I was paid by three of them, so you see there Is no necessity for our keeping books." rOPLfSMt4T fvr PH0NE-I5 COTTAGE GROVE OREGON Sale Sale Ladies* brown calf ox fords and patent leather pumps for only $2.95 One table of tennis shoes, nearly all sizes in the lot, for only . $1.00 32 inch ginghams in plain nn<l plnid colors, for only I he yard 20c Dress Materials Large assort nient of ap rons and house dresses, nice and cool for summer, lot only ........... 98c C.

To break a piece of money at part ing, each keeping a part, wus a bond of fidelity ut one time among lovers. This camo from very remote times, be fore Inns nnd houses of public accom modation were known. Travelers had then to trust to the hospitality of strangers living on the road, and It was customary at parting to divide some article, such as a white atone or small coin, and for the host and guest each to take a part, that If the host required similar hospltullty from his guest he might claim It by showing his token. In the Revelation of St. John this custom Is referred to where Christ says, “To him that overcometh will 1 give a white stone," so that ut the Pay of Judgment he may demand admis sion Into heaven. Electro-Chemical Colors. The preparation of mineral and arti ficial organic colors by the aid of elec tricity has made considerable progiess und It Is suggested that the products of the Industry may eventually replace those derived from coal tar. Among the colors now produced In commercial quantities by the employment of the electric current are vermilion. Scheel’s green, cadmium yellow, Japanese red, «•rise or cherry red. Berlin green Hnd sine white, besides a number of organ ic colors. The process consists essen tially In sending an electric current through a solution containing the ele ments required for the production by precipitation, of the coloring matter desired.—Exchange. Famous Old Restaurants. What la the oldest restaurant In the World now open for businessT Paris has at least one restaurant, the Cafe de la Regence. which Is more than 200 years old; the Mitre hotel at Oxford. England, Is said to be SOO years old; the Rathskeller at Bremen was built In 1405. the curious little restaurant known as the Rurtwuratglockleln, In Nuremberg, which Is part of a church, has, It Is believed, been serving roast sauHagea since the year 1400; and the Capello Nero restaurant, tn Venice, traces Its beginnings back to the year 18T6. Hawaii's Equable Climate. There Is no question but that Hawaii has great natural beauty and a climate that Is probably the moat equable In the world. The average temperature for 30 years in Honolulu was TH de grees, 24 hours a day. 12 months in the year. There Is probably no other spot In the world that can boast such an even climate; but the rainfall varies according to the location. Honolulu rainfalls average about thirty Inches a year, but on the windward aide of some of the Islands the rainfall sometimes reaches 300 and 400 Inches a year.— Adventure Magaalne. * ( • • • • There are many forms which a business firm may use that cost but little yet save a great deal of time and make a record that often proves con venient and valuable. For example it is often convenient to have a carbon copy of each order that is sent to a wholesale house. It is then possible to find in a moment what goods have been ordered. The date they were ordered can be learned at the same time. It is often important to know whether a mistake in an order was made by the person placing the order or by the person shipping it. The carbon copy gives the information in a mo ment. It is often important to have a list of items covered by a check, as well as a record of dis counts taken. Duplicate remittance blanks give this information at once to the person receiving the check and the same information is on file with the person making the remittance. The Sentinel can make these or other forms upon short notice. Many firms in Cottage Grove are now using these and other forms printer! by The Sentinel. If there is any kind of record you wish to keep and are in doubt as to the kind of form best adapted for the purpose, The Sentinel is always ready to assist you. It has worked out forms for manv customers and is ready to do the same for you. * I I
