WHAT 1'0 DO WITH OUR lElSURE HOURS What to do with our leisure hoursl is a question that greatly exercises the moralists just now. as a conse- quence of the movement for shorter hours and more concentrated work. Henry Ford. who is a moraliist when he is not making automobiles, finds the problem simple enough. Five: days shalt thou labor and do all thy work and on the sixth and the soy- enth thou shalt step on the gas. Strenuous work. strenuous recrea- tion; his philosophy is of the kinetic school. It fits admirably the needs of the automobile industry, which stands to profit. by paying its work- ers enough for them to buy automo- biles. and then giving them enough free time to make an automobile worth while. An effort. simultan- eously to produce and to capitalize. leisure is something new in indus- try. and the business world has ft'tnnd its novelty rather staggering. An English Objection The objection has at. once, been raised, especially in England. which is being much exorted to imitate .\lllt'l'lt‘2l in the matter of high wages. says the Springfield Republi- can. that many industries are un- able to capitaliZe leisure because the articles which they produce are not consumed as an incident of re- creation. \\'here the line 'is to be drawn as hard to say. certainly makers of clothing and linery of all sorts would get some benefit from an increase in the number of people who could atl’ordtino raiment and had two clear days in which to show if all» the size of the. gain would depend on how much incre- ment went for motoring and other eXpensiye occupations for leisure hours. The discussion begun by Mr. Ford has freshly called attention to the great proportion of modern invention and industry which have been dedicated to idle hours. The automobile. of course. has a dual role. and nobody has yet. figured out how much of its mileage should be credited to business and how much to pleasure. In statistics of urban congestion the automobiles ol' shOp- pers are apt, to be put down as plea- sure cars: that may be strictly cor- rect. yet. Main Street. looks at them in a dill‘erent light.

Whether idle hours come in a lump or in installments makes almost as much ditt‘erence to leisure as tn industry. where the impor- tance ut' getting the most, out of ma- chinery is increasingly recognized. l’rrt'. John Maynard Keynes has been tuning a lively tilt with the British cotton industry over what he con- siders their mistaken plan of dealâ€" ing with the slump by operating on short time. That plan may work well. he argues, for a crisis due to a scarcity of raw cotton when the ditTicutty is not in selling goods at a protlt. but in getting materials from whiOh to make the gOOdS. When the crisis is due to cheap cotton and the. lack of a profitable market. he considers the remedy fallacious. because it increases the cost of what, goods are produced through the high overhead charges and the inefficient use made of the machines. There may not be room for such elaborate economic argument in re- gard to the distribution or leisure, Ono Industry Helped yet even from the economic point of View it plainly makes a differ- ence, whether the average man is able to get enough time- in a lump to do something out of the ordinary. How he will in either case spend his time depends on many things. in- cluding not only his personal tem- perament. a stable factor which might be statistically computed, but Opportunity and fashion, which are more variably quantities. Just now any considerable increase in the number of people who have even half a day. in addition to Sun- day entirely free operates to the benefit of the makers of golfing out- lits. the manufacture of which has come, to be. an important industry. .\ few decades ago that element would have been negligible, and in a few decades more something else may take its place. or supplement it.

WHEN AIR BRAKES GAME IN When the marvelous air-brake invention of Hmrge Westinghouse was a new thing and before. it had been brought. to anything like its present. state. of perfection, the Credit Valley Railway passenger trains were being fixed with the neeessary fixings in order of their importance. Arthur Phipps was the engineer on the little “jerkwater” run between Strcwtsville .hinction and Orangeville. and one day he pulled his train out of the former point fully equipped with the new device. The step at. Meadowvale. the first station. was of short duration. but, at Brampton. where the next sinp was made, there was some com- mereial baggage to he handled, and while this was being: done. Jack ltundle. the conductor. a man of few words but of a dry humor, saunter- ed up to the front. end to hear Ar- thur's eomment. Upon the substitu- tion of ”air" for "muselo".

JUDGING SEED GRAIN Power Load Reduced from 1,138 I. P. to 755. The annual report of the Hanover Public Utilities Commission, just out, is a satisfactory one, in view of all circumstances. The hydro de- partment shows eonside 'ablo change over last year, owing to the loss of the cement company load, which was a large one, and as a conse- quence the revenue dropped from “‘ ‘ I...._-_ Is.
