ON WORK SEEN
Commenting on industrial fatigue
and the weather, Hygeia, the health
magazine published by the American
Medical Association, cites the results
of an investigation in England which
shows the extent to which efficiency
decreases in high temperatures.
“The term 'spring fever,’ ” says
the writer, “is a recognition of the
fact that atmospheric conditions
have considerable influence upon the
efficiency with which work is done.
H. M. Vernon conducted a special
investigation on the subject for the
Industrial Fatigue Reserve Board of
Ixmdon. While his observations dealt
primarily with physical work, he is
convinced that the facts apply just
as well to mental activity.
“The effects of high temperature
on efficiency were studied especially
in the mining industry, which em
ploys over 1,000,000 men in Great
Britain, four-fifths of whom work
underground. It was found that a
miner required eight minutes to fill
a half-ton tub or wagon with coal
when working under the best condi
tions, whereas he took nine and six
tenths minutes, or 20 per cent longer
under the worst conditions. In some
mines the temperature rises fre
quently above 100 Fahrenheit. When
the temperature reaches thia height
thp efficiency of the man is less than
one-half of what it is under good
temperature conditions.
“Air movement is important, it is
found, indeed, that efficiency at the
highest velocity, namely, 71 feet per
minute, may be reduced 15 per cent
when the velocity is greatly lowered.
These factors were effective also in
the tin plate industry."

Creation of an unpaid commission
to Investigate feasibilty of a na
tional old-age pension law. was
called for in e a resolution Repre
sentative Sirovich (D.)» of New
York, filed in the House yesterday.
The commission would consist of
12 members, four appointed by the
President, four by the President of
the Senate and four by the Speaker
of the House.
“I would like to see appointed
such civic workers as Mrs. William
Randolph Hearst, Jane Addams of
Chicago, and Lillian Wald of New
York," said Dr. Sirovich.
This commission would report to
Congress in two years and would
be allowed $75,000 for expenses. It
would Inquire into the extent of
old-age dependency, existing sys
tems of relief for the aged In va
rious States, the nature and work
ing of old-age pension legislation in
this country and abroad, and the
probable cost of proposed national
plane.

Paris Will Deserve
Celebrated Title:
‘City Light’
By IsteHsettensl Mews Bervipe
PARIS, April 20.—Paris will
soon be more deserving than ever
of its celebrated title “the City of
Light.” Its antiquated, rosy-hued
gas lamp-posts, many of which are
still lighted at dusk by picturesque
Frenchmen wearing long ’blue
blouses and strange hats, are
doomed.
Thousands of the latest mod
ern electric ones are going to re
place them before the summer is
over If the plans of the city gov
ernment can bo worked out.
Narrow little streets which
hardly merit more than the name
of "alley,” such as "the street of
the fishing-cat,” “the street of the
one-eyed man” or the one "of the
bad boys,” will beam with electric
lamps, as well as some of the
chic quarters which have long
needed them.

LEitUE HL
America’s proposal to outlaw war
by a system of multilateral treaties
among the great powers of the
world likewise may scrap territorial
guaranty clauses of the League of
Nations covenant, Dr. Charles I’erg
ler, dean of law at National Univer
sity and former Chechoslovakian
minister to the United States and
Japan, declared today.
Pergler asserted, in an address
before an all-student conference,
that a new world system of security
is being developed by the anti-war
negotiations which may come in
direct rivalry with the league.
"Recent occurrences would seem
to raise the question whether there
is not growing up an American
system, or an American system
alongside the League of Natione
system,” Pergler said.
“The negotiations lately conducted
for the purpose of outlawing war,
certainly tend in that direction.
"If the American proposals are
accepted by the great powers, or
even some of them, and they agree
not to resort to forcible measures
under any circumstances, there is
a grave question whether this will
not mean the complete scrapping,
to the extent provided for by the
prospective treaties, of those pro
visions of the covenant of the
League of Nations which were
aimed to furnish a measure of
guaranty of territorial intergrity
to European states.
"The thought is rather disquieting
to anyone having in mind the Cen
tral and Eastern European situa
tion, and particularly so to the
new station of Europe.
The question ultimately may be
whether the two systems will co
operate or whether they may be
come rivals, according to Pergler.
He pointed out that it would be
conceivable that the American sys
tem in the end Would prevail to
destroy the I .eague.

Two checks for |IOO, and 590 addi
tional prises await writers In the
Times-Zain Ad Test Campaign for
the period which closes at midnight
on April 25. It was decided to
combine the third and fourth
weeks, so the campaigners have
until next Wednesday to send in
their ads for the double-decker prise
list.
Incidentally the campaign is
about half through. Special cash
and other prises are offered each
week. As the big prize >I,OOO is
offered. To win it one ad on each
of the thirty-nine firms must be
written.
And how the folks are enjoying
the campaign-
“With pleasure I acknowledge my
lovely set of pearls which you so
kindly sent me in connection With
the Times-Zain Ad Test. Needless
to say I am trying my utmost to
submit “ads” for the remaining
concerns with my eye oh the
GRAND PRIZE,” writes Iren* de
St. Guard, from New York City.
She’s a Times reader.
“My prize received today was like
finding it as the writing of, ads
Is no trouble,” writes T. Hillary
Bltckman, 125$ Wisconsin Av*.
N. W- "I am writing more
the hope of winning more prizes-
“I wish to thank you and your
judges for the gifts I have received
as prizes,” writes Dolly Hamer, of
Huntington Terrace, Bethesda, Md.
“The Ad writing I find thoroughly
fascinating and the prizes are most
encouraging. I think it a nice
way, too, the way the firms write
such Interesting letters of con
gratulation. Have received already
several over which I am Quite en
thused. Apart from the fact that
this contest affords a pleasant
pastime, it is also an education and
I heartily enjoy it.”
One Discouraged
G. McNlcoll, of the C. A.,
1735 G St. N. W., got discouraged.
Then he sat down and wrote the
Times as follow*” Not having re
ceived any mention within the range
of 530 embryo ad writers, I had
about concluded, I must indeed be a
very bad amateur. However, I re
ceived this date a cordial letter
from the Arthur Jordan Piano
Company.
“This courtesy and appreciation
has induced me to further try the
contest. I certainly agree that many
of ads submitted are of a high
order of merit and deserving of the
recognition they receive,” concludes
Mr. McNicolL
Regimental Sergt. Maj. George B
C. Kuster, of Ft. Humphreys
writes; “Receipt is hearby acknow
leged with thanks of the excellent
fountain pen presented me as rne
of the winners of the *Yummy’ ad
in the first week of your campaign.
I appreciate the judgement of the
judges in so honoring my humble
offering. Incidentally you will find
me a weekly entrant in this all
instructive contest.”
And so it goes. Schools and
other organizations are trying the
ad-writing game. There are 39 firms
entered. Many of them have offered
special prizes in addition to the
regular $12,500 in cash prizes in
this campaign offered by The Times.
Get busy and write your ad. . Send
