productivity. Thes reasoning seem
crystal clear in its simplicity. If peo
ple are not working as much as they
did, obviously,' rijns the .argument,
they will not turn out aS many goods
or perform as many services. Thus the
total pool of goods and services out
of which all obtain their living stan
dard would be diminished.
- - The': fesuTV however, cannot be so
easily explained, For the . proof no
rival theories need be set up,
actual experiments. In our financial
pages recently these
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% hours—a loss of 10.5 per cen.t
lit work. And yet the drop in total
output was only 1.6 per cent.
An even better example comes from
the Kellogg Cdhapany in Battle Creek,
Michigan. Here the company decided
to switch from, an eight-hour to a
. Bix.-hour day, or. thirty-six hours a
week. Apparently the previous work
week was forty-four hours. Thus the
hours were reduced 1'8 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
culated the effect on individual work
er otfiput. 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. Thus reduced working
time does not make inevitably for
lower output. It depends both upon
the industry and the plan. Wherq. the
work is highly ' mechanized, where
production an distribution are v£st-
ed in the same .concern, where the
wage cost does not constitute a very
high proportion of the selling . price
“ ojf <;the commodity—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 result. ~
The universality of the President’s
proposal to shorten the , working lire
.'-at both ends is also infeasible. At
the ope end of the scale t|he prohi-
hi:ion of work to youngsters under
,j eighteen might work, a rank injustice
: upon dependent parents. Moreover,
Academic education isn’t the best
training for $11 youtlf.. 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 jcompulsorv retired firom
work. Man"is a' creature of ‘‘infifute-
variety," and neither usefulness <nor
capacity knows any age limit. Elihu

. Properly staked plants ensure an
orderly garden. Lack of proper stak
ing means that yon are reasonably
sure to have some wrecked and messy
beds later in the season. A heavy
rain or wind storm' is likely to knock
over tall and heavy foliage plants
which naturally have stems not suf
ficient 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 on these
stately perennials make them singu
larly susceptible to destruction by
winds or heavy 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
sistance. Tall African and French
margiolds are tipped over by the
win'd 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 capable of holding up the plant,
but as unobtrusively as possible.
Green painted stakes are least con
spicuous The • cheapest and most, ef
ficient stakes are the bamboo cades
sold in- varying lengths by dealers.
They may be bought already painted
or in their natural color and you can
paint them yourself. They are strong
and durable. Recently heavy, wire
stakes have been offer'd 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

Many People Have
Felt Like Murder
At the Bridge Table
The august members of the court
of appeals at Warsaw, capital of
Poland, must be bridge players. If
they aren’t, bridge players every
where will agree'that they at least
have a rare understanding of the
emotional side of the game .
It seems thiii a Polish gentleman
named Josef Iljas, having bid three
no trump, played the hand and was
set four tfkks. His partner, instead
of keeping quiet as a dummy
should, criticized his play throughout
the hand; so Mr. Iljas, overtaxed 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. Fort William Times-
Journal—-“Black flies are bad in the
bush,” said a man who Spends a good
deal of his holiday hours fishing. But
what thei average angler knows about
black, Hies 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-
ioino’ogis'ts have counted no less than
38 species of black flies, and each one
is more bloodthirsty than the other, no
matter which yod begfin with. ?
Mosquitoes do. not deserve front
place among the blood-sucking in
sects of the bush, for the little mus^
quite 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 J nr.oculated with
mosquito bites, so that^he victim is
immune, to the poison, and the bite
.leaves never a trace behind.

At the last session of the Domin
ion Parliament section 7 of Part J
of the Dairy Industry Act was
amended by adding the following
subsection:—
....“Z2) On and..afterthe .first. ■■■■._
January, 1937, no person shall man
ufacture, import into Canada, sell,
offer or have jn JpOssession for sale
any package cheese unless - such
package contains chee-;e nf the f’*’!
net-weight of|, one-quarter pound,
one half-pound,' one pound or mul
tiples thereof, but nothing in this
subsection shall be held to apply to
cheese 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 Agriculture,
the reason for the amendment had
to do with the* recommendations
made by the Price Spreads Commis
sion in 1935. One -of these sugges
tions which had been discussed at
some length Was that prints of
cheese offered for sale to the publie
should be made in multiples ol a
pound rather than in sizes, say, of
five ounces, six and a half ounces
or seven and a half ounces, The..
amendment provides that the prints .
must be put up in eiihejr multiples
of a pound or in divisions of", a.
pound, such as a quarter of h pound
or half a pound. The phrase - “but
nothing in, this subsection shaU be
held to apply to cheese of indiserim-
inate. weight manufactured, by in
dividual tyrmers and sold by them**
means that home-made cheese is not
subject to this legislation. It can bo
any weight; it is not confined to mul
tiples or divisions of a pound. The
cheese, however, must be made by
a fanner as well as sold by him.
