“Simplified Practice"
A primer of “ Simplified Practice” has redently
been issued by the U. S. Department of Commerce,
to help business men avoid an enormous amount of
loss and duplication of effort and money.
A workman who was employed in a somewliat
Unsuccessful factory, once said that what that con­
cent needed was to eliminate lost motion. He could
sec benches and machines and tools unhandily ar­
ranged, and he felt that the workpeople were wast­
ing a great deal of time through inconveniences
under which they were laboring.^

»'
On6 fonn of lost motion, is the getting out of
too many sizes anti patterns, of things. If a concern
is producing 100 varieties of a certain article, in
different sizes and patterns and styles, where 50 or
25 or 10 would really satisfy the public, then there
is lost motion in its methods.
The indusft-ies of the country are saving many
millions of dollars through the simplifications that
. have been introduced during the recent years,
through the work of the department of commerce
and various engineering organizations. It is estimat-
'* ed that such better methods have saved $200,000,000
in the lumber industry alone.
This movement has not attempted to interfere
in such fields of business as millinery, a rt goods,
women’s clothing, etc., where the element of individ*
ual creativeness and originality enters in. But there
is a vast field in the production of useful articles,
for reduction of the ntunber of patterns. When
1000 pieces of one article are produced, in place of
500 each of two articles, theVe is a saving of time
and equipment that will benefit the employer, the
employe, and the public. The business men of
Oregon will do well to study this primer of sim­
plified practice, and see if they can apply its prin­
ciples tb their processes.
w Cruiser Construction
President Coolidge and Congress held opposite
points of view on the question of constructing of
cruisers. Congress feels that this country is highly
deficient in this necessary fonn of defense, as com-'
paired with the leading naval powers.
While the president aj>parently feels* that the
United States occupies a very safe position between
two great oceans, and th at the only way for the
human rcae to abolish the crushing burden of war
and annam ent, is to discourage production of war
making material. The country must form its own
opinion for itself.
Education for the Masses
Six hundred and thirty communities are to be
touched by an educational scheme planned by the
National Community foundation, for bringing edu­
cational, dramatic, and musical advantages to the
masses of the people. Correspondence schools and
university extension plans will follow.
Such a plan ought to do a wonderful amount of
good, and make self improvement interesting to many
]>eople who thought their education was finished
when they quit school. The American system of
democracy was built on the theory that our country
is inhabited by thinking people, hut during recent
times some have had doubts on this point.

BUDA P E ST — Rejuvena­

by a Hungarain life Insur­
ance company In refusing to
pay an annuity to an aged
policy holder who recently
underwent such an operation.
The policy guaranteed .the

to prolong his life by ten

of the company and stopped

S e v e n t e e n universities
have banned students' auto­
mobiles as detrimental to
morals. After the students
had been driving half the
night, it seems they couldn’t
be driven to work— When
some of the boys ended their
university careers the auto­
mobile was the only engl-
t^eerlng they knew.
A fellow who had tried ail
evening to find a girl who’d -
ride in a flivver wouldn’t be
interested in any more exper­

gas tank refused to be both­

spent all his time declining-
invitations from people to
ride in hi« car.

Real Problems Missed
4. S titt Wilson, former mayor of Berkeley,
California, is making a speaking tour of American
colleges, and he ’reports that he handed one stu­
dent a newspaper featuring the lxx*any> conference
effort to promote world peace, hut the student read
the sports pages and handed it hack.
No one could blame a live boy for reading about
these interesting sports. But if he is not interested
in great movements like that to promote World peace,
his education does not seem to have gone much
under his skin, and evidently he had not got enough
of it to h u rt him any or affect him much.

Today has been a. $ood day to
stay Inside. The wind has In­
creased in velocity until it is cut­
ting dttches in the snow and
changing the snow from one drift
tb the other; moving it always to­
ward the rim. The drifts at the
edge of the rim are solid and as
smooth as ice, hut let the wind
once get a start at the bank of
snow and it soon cuts a ditch al­
most to the ground. It is any­
thing but pleasant to face. The
flying crust cuts the face and
hands like a knife.
•’Chuck” and “Andy” took a
whirl at the hill today. When
they came back I looked for snow
down the back of their necks. I
didn’t find any so they must have
made the hill standing up.
I loaded ‘ up all the cameras,
three, this morning, expecting
some sunshine. The trees have a
load of ice, and the Lodge is
whitewashed, windows and all.
In days like this If yon are not
ready when Liao smiles yon are
apt to lose the chance of a pic­

clears, the tog Is wafted away as
if by magic, and everything is a

continue to do so lo r two or three
days more.
Tbo wind is playtng me mean-

that has fallen the last two days
and has blown it oyer the rim. So
while I have had to register
