Kreisler to Play Here March 23 Frit* Kreisler, violinist, will appear In concert Friday night, March 23, at the Auditorium, under auspices of the Tuesday Musical club. During his years in the United States, Kreisler lias played in every part of the country, and probably has a larger following in America than any other violinist. As personality, as musician and as violinist, Kreisler wins his public. As a violinist, he has penetrated and mastered every technical secret of his Instrument until he can draw from It a tone o£ manifold and lus trous beauty, at once sustained and plastic, sensitive to whatever shading or suggestion he would lay upon It.

Speeding Up Business Clipping the Minutes With the New Efficiency -—-By STEPHEN LEACOCK. □E were sitting at our editorial desk in our inner room, quietly writing up our week's poetry, when a stranger looked in upon us. He came in with a burst—like the entry of the hero of western drama coming in out of a snowstorm, His manner was all excitement. "Sit down.” we said, in our grave, cour teous way. "Sit down!" he exclaimed, “certainly not! Are you aware of the amount of time and energy that are being wasted in American business by the practice of perpetually sitting down and standing up again? Do you realize tha^ every time you sit down and stand it?) you make a dead lift of"—be looked at un—"250 pounds? Did you ever reflect that every time you sit down you have to get up again?” “Never,” we said quietly, “we never thought of It.” "You didn't!” he sneered. "No, you’d rather go on lifting 250 pounds through two feet—an average of 500 foot pounds, practically 82 kilowatts of wasted power. Do you know that by merely hitching a pulley to the back of your neck you could gen erate enough power to light your whole office?" We hung our heads. Simple as the thing was, we had never thought of It. "Very good," said the stranger. “Now, all American business men are like you. They don't think—do you understand me? They don't think.” We realized the truth of it at once. We had never thought. Perhaps we didn't even know how. “Now, I tell you.” continued our visitor, speaking rapidly and with a light of wild en thusiasm in his face, ‘‘I’m out for a new campaign—efficiency in business —speeding tilings up—better organiza tion.” Seeing Things in the Air. “But surely,” we said, musingly, "we have seen something about^this before in the papers? "Seen It, sir,” he exclaimed, “I should say so. It’s everywhere. It’s a new movement. It’s in the air. Has it never struck you how a thing like this can be seen In the air?” Here ngain we were at fault. In all our lives we had never seen any thing in the air. We bad never even looked there. "Now,” continued the stranger. "I want your paper to help. I want you to join In. I want you to give publicity.” No remedy ran cure all ail ments of the hu man body, bat sn immense number of peo ple fuller from aches, pains and dis ease symptoms when their real trouble is lack of iron in the blood. It ia the iron in your blood that enable# you to get the nouriehment out of your food. Without iron your food merely passes through you with out doing you any good;yoa don’t get the strength out of it. There is one univers ally known tonic that haa helped thousands because it contains iron like the iron in fresh vegetables and like the iron in your blood.

Panderlnn Is the best, cheapeat and most delightful hair corrective and tonic. It la to the hair what fresh showers of rain are to vegetation. t goes right to the roots, vitalizes and strengthens them. Its stimulating properties help the hair to grow long, heavy, strong. You i an surely have beautiful hair, anil lots of It, if you will spend 3a , ents for a hotlle of Pnnderlne at any drug store or toilet counter. It is not greasy, oily or sticky "Assuredly," we said, with our old fashioned politeness. "Anything which concerns the welfare, the prog ress, it one may so phrase it—” “Stop," said the visitor. "You talk too much. You're prosy. Don't talk. Listen to me. Try and fix your min I on what I am about to say.” We fixed it. The stranger's man ner became somewhat calmer. "I am heading,” he cried, "the new Ameri can efficiency movement. I have sent out circulars to fifty thousand rep resentative firms, explaining my methods. I am receiving ten thous and answers a day"—here he draggec! a bundle of letters out of his pocket—■ "from Maine, from New Hampshire, from Vermont.” — "Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Connecticut," we murmured. "Exactly," he said: “from every State in the Union—from the Philip pines, from Porto Rico, and last week I had one from Canada.” "Marvel ous," we said; "and may one ask what your new methods are?” A Race in Outdoing. "You may," he answered "It's a proper question. It’s a typical busi ness question, fair, plain, clean and even admitting of an answer. The great art of answering questions," he continued, "is to answer at once without loss of time, friction or de lay In moving from place to place. I'll answer it.” "Do,” we said. "I will," said the stranger. "My method is first: to stimulate business to the highest point by Infusing into It everywhere the spirit of generous rivalry, of wholesome competition; by inviting each and every worker to j outdo each and every other.” "And can they do it?" we asked, 1 puzzled and yet fascinated. "Can they all do it?” "They do. and they can." said the stranger. "The proof of it is that they are doing it. Usten. Here is an answer to my circular No. 6. Effi ciency and Recompense, that came in j this morning. It is from a steel firm. ' Listen." Spur of Ribbons and (iumdrop*. The stranger picked out a letter and read It. Dear Sir: Our firm is a steel corporation. We roll rails. As soon as we rend your circular on the Stimulus of Competition we saw that there were big things in It. At once we sent one of our chief managers to the rolling mill. He carried a paper bag In htn hand. "Now, boys." he said, "every man who rolls a rail gets a gum drop." The effect was magical. The good fellows felt a new stimulus. They now roll out rails like dough. Work is a Joy to them. Every Sat urday night the man who has rolled most gets a blue ribbon; the man who has rolled the next most, a green ribbon; the next most a yellow rib bon. and so on through the spectro scope. The man who roll* least gets only a red ribbon. It Is a real pleas ure to see the brave rellowa clamor ing for their ribbons. Our output, after defraying the entire cost of the ribbons and the gumdrops, has in creased 40 per cent. We intend to carry the scheme further by al lowing all the men who get 100 blue ribbons first, to exchange them for the grand efficiency prize of the firm —a pink ribbon. This the winner will be entitled to wear whenever and wherever he sees fit to wear it. Transforming a Hotel. The stranger paused for breath. "Marvelous," we said. "There la no doubt* the stimulus of keen competi tion—’’ "Shut up." he snld Impatiently. ! "Let me explain It further. Competi tion Is only part of It. Ait Item Just as big that makes for efficiency Is to tako account of the little things. It's the little things that are never thought of " Here was another wonder! We re alized that we had'never thought of them, "Take an example," the Stranger continued. "I went into a hotel the other day. What did 1 see? Rollhoya being summoned upstairs every minute, and flying In the ele vators. Yes—and every time they went up they had to come down again. I went up to the manager. 1 said, 'I can understand that when your guests ring for bellboy* they have to go up. Rut why should they come down? Why not have them go up and never ronie down?' He caught the idea at once. That hotel is trans formed. I have a letter from the man ager stating that they And It 50 per cent cheaper to hire new bellboys In* stead of waiting for the old ones to come down," "These results," we said, "are cer talnly marevlous. You are moat as suredly to be congratulated on—’ "You talk too much." said the Stranger, "Dont' do It Learn to He len. If a young man comes to me fur advice in basinet*— and they do in hundreds, lots of then —almost in tears over their Inefficiency —I'd soy 'Young man. never talk, listen: an swer. but don't speak ' Rut even ell Ithls I* only part of the method. An | other side of it la technique. ' "Technique?" we said, pleased blit puzzled. "Yes, lhe proper use of machine de vices. Take the building trade. I’ve revolutionized it. Till now all the bricks even for a high building were carried up to the mason in hods. Madness! Think of the waste of it. By my method instead of carrying the bricks to the mason we take the mason to the brick—lower him on a wire rope, give him a brick, and up he goes again. As soon as he wants another brick he calls down. 'I want * I a brick,’ and down he conies like lightning." “This," we said, “is little short of—” "Cut it out. Even that Is not all. Another thing bigger than any is organization. Half the business In this country is not organized. As soon as I sent out my circular, Xo. 4. have you organized your business! I got answers thousands! Heartbroken, many o5 them. They had never thought of It! Jlore, for example, is a letter written by a plain m in, a gar dener, Just an ordinary man, a plain man—’* _ “Yes.” we said, “quite so." ‘"Well, here is what he writes Dear Sir: As soon as I got your circular I read It all through from end to end, | and I saw that ail my failure in the past had come from my not being organized. I sat and thought a long while and I decided that I could or ganize myself. I went right into the house and I said to my wife, “June, I'm going to organize myself." She said, “Oh, John!"—and not another word but you should have seen the< look on her face. So the next morning I got up early and began to organize myself. It was hard at first but I stuck to it. There were times when I felt as If I couldn't do It. It seemed too hard. But bit by bit I did. It and now, thnnk Grid, I am organized. I wish nil men like me could know the 1 the pleasure I feel In being organized. Firing Castomers Through Air. “Touching, isn't it?" said the set ranger. "But I get lots of letters like that, Here's another, also from a man, a plain man, working on his own fnrm. Hear what he says: Dear Hir: As soon as I saw your circular on How to Speed Up the Employe, I felt that It was a big thing. I don't have any hired help here to work with me, but only father. He cuts the wood and does odd chores about the place. Ho I realised that tlia best I could do was to try to speed up father. I started in to speed him up last Tuesday, und I wish you could see him. Before this he could't split a cord of wood without cutting a slice off his hoots. Now he does it in half the time. "But there," the stranger said, get ting impatient even with his own reading, "I needn't read it all. It is the same thing till along the line. I've got the Method Introduced Into the depertm»nt stores. Before this every customer who came in wasted time trying to find the counters. Now wa install a patent springboard, with a mechanism like a catapult. As soon as a customer comes in an attendant puts him on the board, blindfolds him, and says, 'Where do you want to go?' ‘Olove counter.’ 'Oh. all right.' He's fired at It through the air. No time lost. Same with the railways. They're Installing the method, too. Every engineer who breaks the record from New York to Buffalo gets a glass of milk. When he gets a hundred glasses he can exchange them for a glass of beer. So with the doctors. On the new method, instead of giving the patient one pill a day for 14 days they give him 14 pills in one day. Hectors, lawyers, everybody—in lime, sir," said the stranger, in tones of ris ing excitement, "you'll see iven tiie plumbers—" But just at this moment the door opened. A sturdy-looklng mai) In blue entered. The stranger’s voice was hushed at once. The excitement die-1 out of his face. His manner all of a sudden was meekness itself. "I was just coming,” he said, •'That's riflit, sir” said the man; Am KKTISKMKVT. GLANDS MADE ACTIVE BY A NEW DISCOVERY Chemist* Find a Substance Which r«new« Vigor by Effect on Ncrvti and Secretion*.

These laboratories are thoroughly reliable, so nobody need hesitate to accept their guaranteed offer. "better come along and not take up the gentleman's time." "Goodbye, then,” said the stranger, vith meek affability, and he went out. The man in blue lingered behind for a moment. "A sad case, sir.” he said, and he tapped his forehead. "You mean—" I asked. "Exactly. Cracked, f r. Quit* cracked; but harmless I'm engaged to look after him. but he gave me the slip downstairs.'* "He is under delusions?", we In quired. "Yes, sir.

You may have seen some of them. Good day. sir.” We looked at our watch. We had lost Just half an hour over the new efficiency. We turned back with a sigh to our old fashioned task.
