KC OOOOOCGOOOOOQOCOO! T HE EFFICIENCY MAN. By RALPH HAMILTON. (Copyrlclit, 1920, Wssteni Newspaper union.; "Six tnoutlis to feed already oh, John, how can you lke care of an ther one?" "The more the merrier, dear mother mine," cried bluff, hearty John Har lan. "Now, don't you go bringing any worry or gloom Into this happy, happy house. Lucia wants you, an Bhe always does when the stork conies around. Her spirits are up to the top notch and you want to keep them 80." "I declare, John, you and Lucia take things the coolest I ever knew I You're working In a dismal olllce from morning until night, and surely Lucia has to maneuver t,o keep things go ing. I don't see how you do It." "Just by thinking of our little brood of four and being thankful that we've got them," responded the stalwart son heartily. Old Sirs. Harlan forgot her fore bodings when she got Inside the small, but neatly kept collage. Four Jolly, loving little ones clustered about her with caresses and kisses, and Lucia, all welcoming smiles, acted as though the dearest wish of her heart was fulfilled In gulnlng the company of her busy, useful mother-in-law. "It's pretty nenr heaven here," said the latter, quivering with genuine emotion. "Lucia, you have been a great blessing to John and I don't wonder he worships the very ground you walk on." "Does he, mother?" spoke Lucia, beaming with delight. "Oh, how glad and proud that makes mo I I never saw such a maul You couldn't get him to pass an hour awny from home evenings if you offered him a fortune. It has been one Joy after another ever since wo married." John Harlan left home next morn ing whistling like u lark. Ho en tered the establishment of Hubert Will whore ho had been entry clerk for ten years, humming a lively tune. Sim Davlcs, likewise u veteran In the service, pointed to the door of the prlvato olllce In a meaning way. 'Going to be a change here," he ob served. "What do you mean. Sim?" Inquired John. "Elllclency expert In there. You see, since Dorsett and Wadhnm left us and set up for themselves, Mr. Will seems to think that he has got to irgo things on nntt keep puce with competition and progress." "Any danger ol getting young and hotter help?' Inquired John. "It can't bo done. I heard Mr. Will himself suy that yesterday. No, I think It means a better show for us." Tho anticipated "better show" ma tcrlullzcd that afternoon. AH day long the expert, a brisk, keen-eyed young man, went over thu books, the work rooms, the ofllces, tho stock. About three o'clock Mr. Will culled John ami Dovles luto his olllce. "Wo'ro going to 'speed up," he Tsald. "Tho expert here has gone over the. entire business and bus suggested a new system and many Innovations, Ho has advised that I promote you two to the positions Dorsett nml Wad ham held. Then for the general help ho suggests that wo advance the pay according to seniority." "And I have 'also advised that mar rled men bo given tho preference hero," broke in the export. "Further, I believe It a good point to advance each employee ono hundred dollars a year for each child ho has." This nearly took Joint's breath nwuy. Why, that meant four bun dred dollars, enough to pay off all ho owed on his little home. "I follow thu theory," proceeded the expert, "that tho more domestic to- sponslhllltles a man has, tho closer he will stick to a good Job. For every future chllil that comes along, I advise a bonus of two hundred dollars," "Wanted, Mr, Harlan, at tho tele phone here," Interrupted tho stenog' rnpher, and John took up tho receiv er on Mr. Will's desk. There was a lapse In tho confer ence pending his return. Then his cheery face became all glowing sun shine. i "I've got somo very good news," ho reported, putting down tho receiver, "You know we were expecting a little stranger, Mr. Will. Vfull, my dear old niothor telephones mo It's all over and everybody well and happy." John was. showered with congrntu lotions. He was one great smiling exemplar of the most fervent Joy. "That Is No. 5, I believe, Harlan," spoke Mr. Will Intorrogatlvcly. "Yes, sir, acknowledged John proudly. "And Incidentally another two hun dred dollars," remorked tho export. Again tho stenographer Interrupted as once more tho telephone rang, "For you again, Mr. Harlan," she said. "Same party, I think." Wider grew the smile on John uuppy. uonesi race as no iook in a new remarkable message. Then In Ills quaint humorous way ho turned to Mr. Will. "Two hundred dollars for every new child, 1 think you suld?" he "pJ'Uf's tho new system," smiled bad: h a employer.

Just then one of the leading women of the town came In and recognized the mnn ns the speaker who had been expected the night before. Needless to say, I soon found work In the, back of tho store which needed Immediate attention. Terrible Effect of Prohibition.

This Is equiv alent to l.ToO.OOO acres of forest land, says the American Forestry associa tion of Washington. The area forest ed Is apparently on the Increase. In 1010 the forested area wn estimated at 41 per cent. In 1850 ns 02 per cent and In the Connecticut portion of the territory In 1820 as about liG per cent Just Where and How Is the Money to be Spent? A businesslike Answer to a businesslike Question THIRTY denominations cooperating in the Inter church World Movement have budgeted their needs. No business could have done it more scientifi cally. They have united to prevent the possibility of duplica tion or waste. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. Each denomination has arranged its budget under six main heads: 1 FOR THE CHURCH'S WORK 1 AT HOME. A (core of Items come undar till hea'i. Comlder only one. Kiv. and u half million people In the United States cannot even read and write the Enetlsh language. Who la to carry forward thla vaatworkof Amerloanliatlon it the church docs not? 2 FOR HOSPITALS AND HOMES. Every yearthouaandeof menand women aerlouily HI are turned away from Church hospltale because of tack of room. Tho children' homea are compelled to turn away more children than they can receive. 3 FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. Of the 430,000 American atudenta In Institutions of higher grade, one half are In Institutions founded and supported by theChurches. Many of thsse Institutions have had no great endowment campaigns, but their needs are Just as pressing as the needs of larger schools: ami you have only to read their list o( alum nlondalumnae tomsasursthavalue of their contribution to America, 4 FOR RELIGIOUS TRAHNINO. At least 12,000,000chlldren and young people under 25 years of age are en tering American life without any religious training at all. Remember ing the faith of Washington and Lincoln, do you think that America will continue to produce Washing tona and Lincoln if faith dies out of the hearts of its youth? 5 FOR THE CHURCH'S WORK ABROAD. Influents came flrst from the Orient thirty years ago: nearly all plagues are Oriental plagues. So long as China haa only one physician to every 400,000 people the Orient will continue to bo a menace. So long ns ono-thlrd of the babies of India die before their sec ond year our own bablea are not safe. A Christian doctor or teacher sent abroad Is working for America as truly as though he worked at home. 6 PREACHERS' SALARIES. The preacher la called the forgotten man," and well he may be. Eight out often preachers are paid, leia than t20 a week I Each denomination has its own detailed budget, and will administer its own funds. Your pastor has copies of the budget: examina them for yourself. In the week of April 25th-May 2nd you will be given your opportunity to help. You can do it with the full satisfaction of know ing that every dollar of your gift has its post assigned to it in advance. Every dollar for hotter America and a better world.

Experiments Have Shown, It It Claimed, Durability of This Old and Inexpensive Material. Adobe, the oldest known building material In southern California, Is duo for a revival, according to John W. Chard, Santa Barbara architect. ITo asserts that If properly prepared this native material can be used to very considerably cut the cost of building. "Experiments," says Mr. Chnrd, have shown that adobe Is the least ffected by chnn"es of temperature among nil tho building materials. Tests show that adobe bricks register no more than six degrees difference be tween February cold nnd extreme Sep tember lient. As a building mnterlnl It Is fnr stronger than Is generally sup posed, and develops n compressive trength ns high as 400 pounds to the square Inch. "The proper plaster protection will Insure an adobe wall against deteriora tion. Hard cement plnster thorough ly anchored Into the walls nnd treat ed with an nll-mlncrnl wntcr-prooflng compound will give adobe walls great durability. "Adobe Is wet soil mixed with straw, cast Into molds of required size and left to dry In the sun. As n build ing material adobe Is everlasting, soundproof, nonconductlve and fire proof, alwnys of normnl temperature, end Is cool In summer nnd warm In winter." Los Angeles Times.
