giving up in disgust, they stndardzed all their tools. started a store
in whleh were item sots of tools
tgaidy sharpened for every job, and
installed a11 elemt.ie bell on each
machine.
Whenever a tool needed renewing,
the man in ehare of the machine
had only to ring, A boy came hurry-
ing from the store, took the dull tool
away, and brought a fresh one.
Then the ftrm made a study of out-
put hour by hour during the day,
and, noticing that it fell away dur-
ing the later part of the morning,
made the mon break off for fifteen
minutes and supplied them with
milk,
The result was that output has
been doubled.
"Going slow" may increase output.
Short rests In the middle of the
morning and afternoon freshen un
the workers and actually make them
do more. The British Industrial Fa-
tigue Research Board discovered thts
fact during the war, and uow hun-
dreds of firms are acting upon it.
One firm that employs girls in teams
of six has found that these rest
pauses have increased output from
forty-five to seventy-five per cent.
Workers who are keen, interested,
well-fed, and not over.tired do three
times as much as the old-fashioned,
take -it -easy sort.
Some of the quickest work to be
seen anywhere In England is at the
Wolverton Works of the L.141. S. Rail -
Way, where twt-51ve-ton covered goods
wagons are being turned out at the
rate of one every hour and three-
quarters. In this brief times the var-
ious parts are shaped, cut, drilled,
painted, and assembi-d. and the com-
plete vehicle put on the rail.

Mvantages of a Home With Those

Combining the advantages of a
home with those or0 motor -car, a
land -yacht claimed to be a home on
wheels was seen at, the r.,:cent :motor
Show in England. Tho vehicle,
which has tive -compartments, gives
one the impression of touring in a
hotel. At the back are two stogie -
berth cabins each with a sevoi-foot
bed, wardrobe drawers. a commo-
dious hanging, cupboard, and usual
dressing -table fittings.
The living room can accommodate
five people for meals at a maitre
table, the top of which lifts up.
Underneath M an aluminium wash-
ing sink, with hot water one -run
away" Cooking, water -heating, and
lighting are done by electricity- sup -
from a simclal power plant.
Between the living room and the
sleeping berths are two nutty rooms,
one a wel1-5.5quippod kilchen with
oven, the other containing a standing
shower bath. The whole vehicle
weighs less that. half a ton, is eigh-
teen feet long, and does not, look
cumbersome on the road. It might
almost be taken for a small mnuibus.
The price of the body is 5300.

present city was it mere vithic., con-
trolled by the Hudson Bay coinponY.
Ho established the first building for
trading purposes on tle, present site
of Edmonton outside the Hudson Iay
fort, and aontinued as a trader from
15178 to 1884, bringing his merchan-
dise in during the summer over the
long prairie haul from Winnipeg
with a freighting outfit.
In 1880 Mr. Oliver established the
Edmonton 13ulletin. and in 1 883 was
elected to the Northwest Council.
From 1888 to 1896 he was elected to
the Legislative Assembly which suc-
ceeded the council, and which had
greater powers, In 1696 he was elect-
ed to the House or Commons for Al-
berta as an Independent -Liberal, and
was re-elected at the general elec-
tions of 1900, 1904. 1805 and 1911
as Liberal. In 1905 he was taken
into the Cabinet or Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier as Minister of the Interior, and
in Juno, 1923, was appointed to the
Board of Railway Commissioners.
The bust, which was constructed
and modeled by Major F. IL Nor-
bury or Edmonton, is of Bedford
limestone, brought from the quarries
of Indiana because it is peculiarly
adapted to the rigorous winters of
Northern Alberta and will endure for
hundreds of years. It stands seven
feet in height and is placed on a
bronze base twenty feet long and
eight feet wide.
Murdoch McLeod, 83, the oldest of
Edmonton old-timers, laid the cor-
ner stone. Mr. McLeo'1 came to
Western Canada in 1861, two years
before Confederation.

IS BRITAIN OVERCROWDED?
Population Is Increasing, While
Emigration Has Decreased.
Six hundred and forty-nine people
to the square mile --practically one'
person to the acre—that is the pres-
ent density of population in England
and Wales. And when yon think how
many acres there are without any
people at all on them, one cannot help
feeling that we are getting dr:adrully
overcrowded.
Pessimists talk about the declining
birth rate, but forget to mention the
still greater fall in the death rate,
and the fact that emigration is only
about half what it was before the
war. In 1913 no fewer than 701,000
persons emigrated from re.te islands,
but the latest statisties hov; that the
post-war average is only 170,000. of
whom 207,000 gr, to various parts of
the British Empire,
In spite 05 1110 fact that Great Bri-
tain lost just about rt million people
during the Groat War. the population
actually increased during that time.
It rose nearly two million between
1911 and 1921, and is now Increas-
ing at the rate of about a quarter
of a million yearly.
The increase in the number of wo-
men is particularly. startitng, 05
people aged from fifteen to forty-five,
there are 1,250,000 more women
than men in England and Wales. One
reason for this is thai niel babies
seem to be stranger than oy 135ble5;
the oth0r, that live men emigrtate for
four women.
One result of the declining death
rate is that the average age or the
people is higher than formerly. Con-
sequently, there are more old folk to
be pensioned and looked after.
An unpleasant sign of the times
is that the number of people in re-
ceipt of poor relief has risen from
188.000 in 1913 to 856,000 at the
present tittle!
