Scratching For Worms The coat of living ia properly measured by the amount of effort required to obtain a given amount of food, shelter, clothing, education. Whatever makes for efficiency reduces the coat of living. In increased efficiency, Indeed, unless in unexpected Inventions, will come the greatest future reductions. When we plead with the Interstate Commerce Commission, therefore, to Invite the railroads to conduct themselves more efficiently. Instead of allowing them to make the public pay in higher rates for their inefficiency, we are pleading for the greatest available step toward lower cost of living. Says Gantt, in his "Work, Wages and Profits:" "If expenses are too great, and it seems impossible to meet competition, there is seldom any serious effort made to find out why expenses are too high, but it is assumed that the way out of the difficulty Is to reduce wages." Whenever the same careful analysis that Is shown by chemist and biol oglst has been applied to the factory, "it has been found possible to reduce expenses, and at the same time to increase wages." "Well-thought-out plans alone, if accompanied by complete instructions for doing work, often produce an increase of more than one hundred per cent over what is usually done. "If the same intelligence and Industry had been applied generally to the art of production as has been exercised in selling products, I can hardly help feeling that we would be suffering less acutely today from high prices." Mr. Oantt's book can be bought from the Engineering Magazine, which also publishes Emerson's Efficiency. Here Is a story of a man who was charged with being "hipped" on this subject. "Of course I am he said. "If you knew as much about it as I do you would be hipped also" To this man Mr. Frank B. Gllbreth.dlstlnguished for his "motion studies," when he was in England, was pointed out a girl putting labels on boxes with what looked like marvelous speed. He took out his top-watch and timed her. She was supposed to be the fastest known girl at this work. He noticed that, although all of her motions were fast, about half of them were needless. He suggested a different method, and the second time she tried It she did twice as many boxes in a given length of time, to her surprise, as she thought she was not going as fast. Of course, this Increased product ought to be divided between the consumer in lower prices, the worker. In higher wages, and the employer, as a reward for bringing efficiency about. The method of assuring an equitable division may be difficult In some cases, but in regard to railroads the Interstate Commerce Commission has the power in Its own hands. Mr. Brandeis in his argument against raising rates, made no mention of the loss through "graft," which is plentiful but comparatively unimportant. As to the actual views of the laborers themselves, they are difficult to secure. Some time we may tell the story of how the Boston and Maine used Its promised pension system as a screw to make its employes come out for higher rates. Collier's Weekly.

JACK RABBITS ARE STILL HOPPING Kansas, City, Dec. 1. The fear expressed last year when jack rabbits were so scarce that the long-eared racers were rapidly dying out apparently was not well founded. Reports from western Kansas are that the jack rabbits are more plentiful than for several years. In one county. Pawnee, 93,600 has been paid out for jack

rabbit scalps in a year, the animals being a pest in that section. This is at the rate of 5 cents a scalp and accounts for 2,000 jack rabbits." Reports from other counties say that the jack rabbits are just as numerous as in Pawnee and many big hunts will be organized as soon as snow covers the ground. These jack rabbits average about six pounds in weight, and two of them will keep a small family in meat for a week.

the home of her brother, Elmer SchulU, for a visit. She had come to this city from Indianapolis, and got off to await a local car. It was dark.f a heavy rain was falling and she lost her way. She will recover.
