H ^ HOW. TO MAKE ICED TEA 1' , 4 T Short Hours and Production President Uoosevelt'g speech at Baltimore lias again put In high re- lief the argumenia pro and con con- cerning shorter worlcing hours, ob- serves the Christian Science Monitor. to the adverse commentators on Mr. Roosevelt's speech the result of a shortening of work would be loss of productivity. Thes reasoning seem crystal clear in its simplicity. It peo- ple are not working as much as they did, obviously, runs the argument, they will not turn out as man}- gooils or perform as many services. Thus the total pool o£ goods and services out of which all obtain their living stan drfrd would be diminished. The result, however, cannot be so easily explained. For the proof no rival theories need be set up, but actual experiments. In our financial pages recently these experiments have been recorded in some detail. In Britain the Boots company, a well- known firm of manufacturing drug- gists, inaugurated an experimental flve-day week. The weekly hours were to 42*4 hoursâ€" a loss of 10.5 p«r cent In work. And yet the drop in total output was only 1.6 per cent. An even bettor example comes from the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, Michigan. Here the company decided to switch from an eight-hour to a six-hour day, or thirty-six hours a week. Apparently the previous work week was forty-four hours. Thus the hours were reduced IS per cent. T e results are differently computed by the Kellogg Company than by the Bri- tish concern. While Boots reckoned the effect on total output, Kellogg cal cuiated the effect on individual work- er output. It found that the workers were able to turn out 10 per cent more work per hour. These results were achieved because shorter work time eliminated fatigue and supplied an incentive to better performance. Thua reduced working time does not make inevitably for lower output. It depends both upon the industry and the plan. Where the work is hishly mechanized, where production an ddistributiou are ve.st- ed in the same concern, where the wage cost does not constitute a very high proportion of the selling price of the commodity â€" in these cases shorter working hours may quite con- ceivably maintain output. It is equal- lytrue. however, that this would not be achieved by an all-in proposal. The proposal of a universal thirty-four hour week, for instance, is too crude to have any such re&ult. The universality of the Piesideiit's proposal to shorten the working life at both ends i.s also infeasible. At the one end of the scale the prohi- biiion of work to youngsters under .eighteen might work a rank injustice upon dependent parents. Moreover, 'academic education i.sn't the best trainius for all youth. Some young sters. may be better employed at work than in college. At the other end of , the scale society might be distinctly the loser if some person over sixty- five were compulsory retired from work. Man is a creature of "intinite- variety," and neither usefulnesi! nor capacity knows any age limit. ICIihu Root lived two careers after he had passed sixty-live, while Mr. Chief .lus- tice Hughes, I.-? at the top of hi.? pow- Where? .\uthor Unknown Where can a man buy a cap for his knee, Or a key to the lock of liis hair?

Jilted 99-Y ear-Old Man Gets Thirty Letters of Sympathy OLD FORGE, N.Y.â€" Charles Jean nette, 99-year-oId French Canadian veteran of the American Civil War, pilted on the eve of his wedding to Mrs. Ella Blanche Manning, of .Mbany, recently, says he has received 30 letters from women expressing sympathy and proposing marriage. He said the letters came from throughout the United States and Canada. ^ Still expressing the belief he would hear from Mrs. Manning. Jeannette said he would "look over and consider" the new offers. Mrs. Manning left Old Forge hur riealy and went to the home of rela- tives in Saranac Lake where she later refused to di.seuss the matter. Labrador Indians Are Cheerful and Happy ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. â€" Declaring In- dians of Labrador, although hard- pressed by privation and of a nomadic nature, were nevertheless cheerful. Rev. Edward O'Brien of Northern Bay left St. John's to return to his mis- sion for the 17th year. The missionary said that not once during his 10 years in the north had he seen anything like prosperity among his parishioners, and attribut- ed this mainly to the fact that the In- dian were too busy supplying the need of their wandering families for food to be able to devote sufficient time to the fur industry. era at the age of seventy-four. In short, there can no more be a hard and fast rule in this matter than there can be on the argument as to the effect of stortening hours on pro- duetiviiy.

Lack of proper stak- ing means that you are reasonably sure to have some wrecked and messy beds later in the season. A heavy rain or wind storm ia likely to knock over tall and heavy foliage plants which naturally have stems not sut- llcieat to stand up under such cir- cumstances. Delphiniums are first plants In the garden to show the need for staking The heavy spikes of bloom oa these stately perennials make them singu- larly susceptible to destruction by winds or heSlvy rains. Stake them be- fore the buds start to open and save the beauty of the delphiniums. Gladi- olus with heavy spikes of bloom are likely to need stakes. Lillies and iris of the taller types also need this as- siatiance. Tall African and Fremch marglolds are tipped over by the wind or rain and become a jungle. Staking would have saved them. The first requisite of gool staking is that the stakes should be strong and cf.pable of holding up the plant, but as unobtrusively as poiislble. Green painted stakes are least con- spicious The cheapest and most ef- flclMit stakes are the bamboo canes sold in varying lengths by dealers. They may be bought already painted or la their natth-al color and you can paint them yourself. They are strong and durable. Recently heavy wire stakes have been ofter'~a and they are least obtrusive of all especially when painted green. Plants can be tied to them easily and hung upright so that the tying cannot be disting- uished until viewed at close range. Set the stakes and tie the plants before they come into bloom A good job of staking that will not make the plant look stiff and obviously tied up can be done after it has come into bloom . For plants of lighter growth that are apt to sprawl and be of un- tidy habit, twiggy branches carefully applied make the best supports. The tall snapdra- -IS need staking. It pinched back and tied the tall types throw, out branches and become py- ramids 'of bloom. Th! long teimlual i-.pikc is sacrificed but a much greater (iwuutity of bloom and finer garden display is obtained. Get in a supply of stakes and give the plants known to need staking attention early In their career. The sooner slaking is attended to. the less obtrusive will it bo when the plant reaches the ma- hirity of Us bloom.

If they aren't, bridge players every- where will agree that they at least have a rare understanding of the emotional side of t'ne game . It seems that a Polish gentleman named Josef Iljas, having bid thr«e no trump, played the hand and was set four tricks. His partner, instead of keeping quiet as a dummy should, criticized his play throughout the hand; so Mr. Iljas, overta.xed by a strain no bridge player can bear, finally drew a revolver and shot his talkative partner through the shoul- der. In due course he was sentenced to three years in prison; and now the appellate court has reduced this sentence to two years, remarking that the trial court should have tak- en into account the excessive ner- vous strain under which the prisoner had been laboring. Can any bridge player fail to sal- ute these judicial gentlemen for the setting of a useful precedent? Black Flies Writes The Port William Times- Journalâ€" "Black flies are bad in the bush," said a man who spends a good deal of his holiday hours fishing. But what the average angler knows about black flies is nothing to what the en- tomologists of the department of agriculture have found out. To the man in the woods a black fly is just a black fly, just as the yel- low primrose was nothing but a yel- low primrose to Wordsworth's idiot boy, or a rose is a rose to Gertrude Stein. He might think more about them if her were aware that the en- tomologists have counted no less than 38 species of black flies, atid each one is more bloodthirsty than the other no m.-itter which you begin with. Mosquitoes do not deserve front place among the blood-sucking in- sects of the bush, for the little mos- quito has the decency to give some warning of its approach by humming at the victim, while the black fly makes a silent and mean attack, and does a good deal more damage than the mosquito. In fact, it is quite possible to become innoculated with mosquito bites, so that the victim is immune, to the poison, and the bite leaves never a trace behind.

COOL MILD TOBACCO Buckingham Fine Cut Assign Cliiliiren To Law Regarding Replar Duties For Their Vacation Playtime Must Be Planned as Their Working Hours Vacation must be faced. It is a cam- paign against time and idleness and if mothers don't marshall their co- horts â€" the children â€" for a Httle work, then Old Nick as usual, will. Drifting from day to day and hop- ing for the best won't get us very far. The more idle the offspring, the busier and more nervous the parent, because life without any duties at all makes children cross and contrary. So up in the cool of the morning they should be. And then, instead of answering Charlie's whistle or Polly's call, leaving the house to bedlam and to you, mother, have it understood that each one tackle his task at once. OUie's job is with the sweeper (va- cuum on Fridays), the mop and the scrub-bucket. The floors are his. in- side the house and out. HOUSEWORK FOR BOYS Peg must make her bed and the boys', straighten the rooms, dust and darken them. She can lay the table for lunch, early as it is, because by this time you have the kitchen and dining-room cleared up. Teach her to move quickly. Sho won't rush, don't worry, but a certain alacrity may be achieved. Eustace gets on his bike and does the errands. Once a week he cuts the grass. But there isn't anything wrong with Oliver and his brother exchang- ing jobs once in a while, if they like, or even "swapping" with Peg, as long as they don't bother you about it. What? Boys make beds and sweep floors and scrub steeps? Why not? Yes, and even learn to cook and wash dishes. In fact, unless jomething im- portant is pending, all three should help you with the after-meal clean-up pretty regularly. Many hands make light work. Thus is the "work-time" budgeted. It can be changed, of course, to suit your fancy, and to fit the ages and capabilities of the children. The above is only a suggestion, of course, that may lead to ideas of your own. By this time it is. let us say, about ten or ten-thirty o'clock. .'Vnd in gen- eral, the rest of the day is theirs, un- less there is some practicing to do. DON'T INTERFERE WITH PLAY And just as work-time is planned, play-time must have some attention also. Children need suggestions. It is not necessary to be an entertain- men' committee of one (and beside^ the youngsters don't want you "but- ng in," as they say), but it is easily possible to provide background, ideas, materials and well-hidden sugges- tions; at the same time leave them free to act independently as though they thought it all out themselves. Boards, boxes, stones or old bricks will prcve a vertitahle mine for ex- perimental hands. Or some paint, a brush or two and very old clothes. There will be noise and clutter and mo<-t of the neighbors in, but this has to be accepted as another thing to be faced if the children are to be contented and happy. It doesn't matter what idea you plant; it may have nothing to do with yards, or boards or paint. But fer- tile su.qrgestion leads to busy, happy days, and the wise mother will turn inventor. Resource is a great asset in vacation time.

ECONOMICAL' EFF Package Cheese Ac tiie la.st session of the Domin- ion Parliament section 7 of Part 1 of the Daii-y Industry Act wa« amended by adding '.ho following subsection: â€" "(2) On and after the first of January, 11)37, no person sliall man- ufacture, import into Canada, sell, offer or have in possession for sale any package cheese unless such pacl;:i^e contniii-^ clu"."" of f^e full net weight of| one-quarter pound, one lialf-fjoun;!, one piiti!ul or i'!i:l- tiples thereof, but nothing in thi:i .â- subsection shall be held to apply to cr'oeso of indiscriminate weight man- ufactured by individual farmers and sold by them." As explained in the House of Commons by Hon. J. C. Gardiner, Dominion Minister of -A.gri culture, the reason for the amendment had to do with thei recommendations made by the Price Spreads Commia- .sion in 111.35. One of these sugges- tions which had been discussed at some length was that prints of cheese offered for sale to the public should be made in multiples of a pound rather than in sizes, say, of five ounces, six and a half ounces or seven and a half ounces. The amendment provides tjjat the prints must bo put up in either multiples of a pound or in divisions of s pound, such as a quarter of a pound or half a pound. The phrase "but nothing in this subsection shall b« held to apply to cheese of indiscrim- inate wei.'jht manufactured by in- dividual farmers and sold by them" means that home-made cheese is not subject to this legislation. It can be any weight; it is not confined to mul. tiples or divisions of a pound. Th» cheese, however, must be made bi a farmer as well as sold by him.
