By rule o' thumb a man could unload two tons of pis iron an hour, -htc- "Ma emplo'- " ' I" cnta an hour. An obserrer, who a lievt. candled a k- , iton saw that the tracks in the foundry might be laid bo that each bar cct-d be carried not more than t ot. By trial he aw that the average man unloading couM move at a . .ater ar' trage speed. He saw that several of the physical movements used to transfer a bar from car to pile were unnecessary, consuming time and energy. In these three respects he esUbliahed a "unit of efficiency," taking care also to provide a system of re!t intervals to prevent fatigue. He declared a standard of unloading pi ; iron at the rate of seven tons an hour to be easily practicable and recommended a -wage scale of 2.7 cents a ton. or 19 cents an hour, for the mei who conformed to this standard. Tnder a sliding upward scale of wiges men were found milling and able to handle continuously ten tons an hour, for which service each received 27 cents. The Increase in output was fivefold that under the rule o thumb; the wages paid seven-tenths greater, and tho laborers were physically and financially better off. Gangs shoveled with the same shovel such different materials aa coal, coke, iron ore, sand and lime. A man who had not seen much shoveling done, but with trained powers of observation, determined that for each material a shovel which would hold 22, pounds a fair weight for the average laborer should be of special size and shape. Then a Bet of necessary movements were devised with reference to physical leverages and speed. It was found, too. that a pile of lime or sand should be attacked at the top, and of coal at the bottom. Having fashioned the tmdard shovels, and devised the units of speed, movement and weight, ft found that the new method and a system of bonuses Increased the e: tiency of the shoveling gangs 1C0 per cent. Robert T. Kent, editor of Indust-tal Engineering, referred us to the the work of Gilbreth, "who reduced the motions of bricklayer from 18 to 6." For forty centuries the bricklayer stooped to pick up his bricks. The "efficiency engineer" devised platforms on jacks raised by boys to the level of the growing wall. Under the rule o thumb the bricklayer for ages turned his brick any or all of three ways to find the face, tested the good bricks, picked up and threw down the defective ones, which had to be lower from the height to which it had been raised, and turned his trowel to tap each good brick into the mortar. Boys now sort the bricks on the ground, piling the good ones face forward upon the platforms, and the brick sinks of its own weight Into a new consistency of morta. Bricklayers got $5 a day. Gilbreth enabled them to earn $6.80 a day, at the same time trebling their efficiency. Such methods kill rule o' thumb wherever Introduced. They are not respecters of persons or of professions or of trades. They are usually introduced by outsiders men who "know nothing about the business." New York Times.

PRESERTSWERE LOOT Saint Nick Stole Toys for 150 Children.

St. Louis. Doc. 20. Frank Wallen's plans to play Santa Claus ' for more than 150 children in North St. Louis have gone awry. There is mourning among the scores of little ones who know the big, red faced, kindly man, who gave them trinkets and promised wonderful Christmas gifts. Wallen is a prisoner on charges of burglary and for the robbery of a postoffice at Dawson, Tex. The Jewelry which was to have helped fill the Christmas stockings of little friends

Is held as evidence against him. Wallen admits the jewelry is part of the loot taken from a store in Dawson. When Wallen was arrested a list of names of children was found in his pocket. He tried to destroy It, and when he failed, admitted it was a list of names of children whom he had planned to give presents. After Wallen was arrested the police learned he had often given children small articles of jewelry. , "There goes Santi Claus for the kids in North St. Louis," said Wallen regretfully, as the police packed up the articles. "I've always liked children," said Wallen. "I've never been married, but I like to have them around me. I'm sorry they caught me before Christmas, for I was going to be Santa Claus to a lot of them."
