Shorter Hours
And Output
Christian Science Monitor
President Roosevelt’s speech at
Baltimore has again put in high
relief the arguments pro and con
concerning shorter working hours.
| if some persons over sixty-five
were compulsorily retired from
| work. Man is a creature of "in-
finite variety," and neither use-
fulness nor capacity knows any
age limit. Elihu Root lived two
| careers after he had passed sixty-
five, while Mr. Chief Justice
Hughes is at the top of his powers
at the age of seventy-four. In
i short, there can no more be a hard
| and fast rule in this matter than

To the adverse commentators on
Mr. Roosevelt’s speech the result
of a shortening of work would
be loss of productivity. The reas-
oning seems crystal clear in its
simplicity. If people are not work-
ing as much as they did, obvious-
ly, runs the argument, they will
not turn out as many goods or
perform as many services. Thus
the total pool of goods and serv-
ices out of which all obtain their
living standard would be dimin-
ished.
The result, however, cannot be
so easily explained. For the
proof no rival theory need be set
up, but actual experiments. In
our finanical pages recently these
experiments have been recorded
in some detail. In Britian the
Boots company, a well-known
firm of manufacturing druggists,
inaugurated an experimental five-
day week. The weekly hours
there can be on the argument as
to the effect of shortening hours
on productivity.
The E. S. Rugeley chapter of the
United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy held their annual services
at Cedarvale cemetery Memorial
day in memory of the Confederate
soldiers.
Mrs. Cora B. Moore led the
services in the absence of Miss
Florence Bouldin. The United
It is announced from the office
of the Gulf Coast Development
Association in Bay City, Texas,
that a definite decision has been
reached to advertise the Texas
Gulf Coast through the publica-
tion of a booklet which will be
placed in the hands of Centennial
visitors. The art work of the
et usually absorbs about 8,000,000
pockets of clean rice. American
rice production under the recent
control program has run around
9,500,000 pockets of clean annual-
ly. Production of clean rice dur-
ing 1935-36 is going to be any-
where 11,000,000 and 12,000,000
pockets. This is not written with
any expectation that corporations
or aggrieved growers are going to
profit by it. They have disregard-

were thus reduced from 4712 to
42% hours- a loss of 10.5 per cent
in work. And yet the drop in
total output was only 1.6 per cent.
An even better example comes
from the Kellogg Company in
Battle Creek, Michigan. Here the
company decided to switch from
an eight-hour to a six-hour day,
or thirty-six hours a week. Ap-
parently the previous work week
was forty-four hours. Thus the
hours were reduced 18 per cent.
The results are differently com-
puted by the Kellogg Company
than by the British concern.
While Boots reckoned the effect
on total output, Kellogg calculated
the effect on individual worker
output. It found that the work-
ers were able to turn out 10 per
cent more work per hour.
These results were achieved be-
cause shorter work time eliminat-
ed fatigue and supplied an in-
centive to better performance.
Thus reduced working time does
not make inevitably for lower out-
put. It depends both upon the
industry and the plan. Where the
work is highly mechanized, where
production and distribution are
vested in the same concern, where
the wage cost does not constitute
a very high proportion of the sell-
ing price of the commodity—in
these cases shorter working hours
may quite conceivably maintain
output. It is equally true, how-
ever, that this would not be
achieved by an all-in proposal.
The proposal of a universal thirty-
hour week, for instance, is too
crude to have any such result.
Funeral services for A. D. Peeks,
age 64 years, were held in Del
Rio, Monday, April 20, at the
First Baptist Church.
Mr. Peeks had a number of
friends in Matagorda county, hav-
ing established the first home for
his family at Bay City in 1902,
later moving to Palacios, where
he lived for 15 years.
Mr. Peeks was on an extended
visit with his daughter, Mrs. Joe
Lemons at Del Rio, his home being
in Camp Wood, Texas.
Mr. Peeks was born at Odem,
in San Patricio county. His death
occured suddenly early Saturday
morning, April 18.
"L" Men Make
Arrests In Bay City
And Palacios
B. A. Kubena, who was arrest-
ed by the Liquor Patrol Board,
pled guilty in county court for
having sold liquor on Sunday,
April 19th. He was fined $122.80.
A complaint was filed against
A. H. Peterson of Palacios, for the
shadow of the flag and gave the
following address:
Madam Chairman, Daughter of
the Confedracy, and Friends:
You have done me the honor,
and given me the privilege of
speaking to you this afternoon on
an occasion charged with high
sentiment, and I cherish it.
One’s thoughts must always go
back on these Memorial days to
past events and experiences. We
love to catch the gleam of dying
embers and warm our hearts in
the lure of half forgotten memo-
ries. For out of these things must
be spun our ideals, and from them
must come new visions and more
glorious opportunities to the end
that the destiny of a nation might
come to its exacting fulfillment.
We might spend hours in re-
counting the various events of a
great conflict. We might thrill
our hearts relating stories of the
heroes, Lee, Jackson, Johnson,
Stuart and Forrest, as well as
other great leaders and followers
in a great conflict. We might en-
gage in telling of sacrifices. We
might stop for a nite of self-
pity as we think of a last grandu-
er or a lost cause. These would
be interesting, but of little ard
questionable worth.
That which is of greater value
has to do with the pattern of a
new South; into which has been
woven all these sacrifices, heart
throbs and pride of the glorious
heritage. Poor indeed, is a land
without traditions. Poorer still is
the land without high romance.
But poorest of all would have been

planting in the Southern rice belt
cannot help but conclude that un-
less there are general floods and
disasters in the large rice pro-
ducing countries of the world or
there is a general war conflagra-
tion in Europe and in North Asia,
there is going to be a surplus of
American rice this fall ranging!
all the way from one and a half
to three million pockets.
Should none of the disasters
above mentioned occur in Europe
or Asia to make a scarcity in
world supplies of rice, then the
only hope for American rice grow-
ers, it now appears, is some kind
of subsidy on exports that will
enable millers to dispose of huge
stocks which are going to fill every
available foot of warehouse space
in the rice belts this fall.
Rice News has repeatedly sug-
gested that American rice farm-
ers plant the same acreage this
year that they planted under the
1934 and 1935 control programs
in order .to be on the safe side,
but it is evident that no sugges-
tions, however well intended, can
be of any effect where there is
such a large percentage of grow-
ers who have keenly felt injured
and unable to help themselves
under previous programs. Hun-
dreds of them in different sec-
tions of the rice belts consider
that the allotments they were
during the coming year. There
are others, however, who will stay
within their limits to qualify for
benefit payments. Also there are
still others who will keep down
costs and will stay within their
cheap rice incomes. These will
fare best and if these observa-
tions help in forming these deci-
sions, this frank discussion of this

The setting for this three-act
musical comedy was in a garden.
The stage was beautifully decorat-
ed with spring flowers and was
bordered across the front with
evergreens and flowers to give the
effect of a blooming hedge.
In the first scene, several old
maids were gathered in the garden
and each wondering how to get
marired. They decide to put an
ad in the paper for unmarried men
as caretakers of the garden (in-
cidentally there is a mention of
buried gold in the garden). In the
next scene, answers come form
everywhere and the old maids se-
lect the men they would like for
their mates. But, when the
bachelors appear, each has some
affliction. Nevertheless, the old
maids fall in love with them and
all end well in the last act.

Rice News
) Manufacturers and distributors!
of foods exclusively of rice and
particularly wheat millers and
many manufacturers of wheat
products never lose an opportun-
ity, it seems, to slander rice and
give the impression to the general
public that it is dangerous to
health to eat rice consistently as
a food, either that, or they under-
take to create the impression, par-
ticularly among women, that rice
is fattening and it would be wiser
to substitute spaghetti or some-
thing else for rice.
Only recently at a bakers con-
ference in the Statler Hotel in
Boston, Dr. August J. Pacini of
the Archer-Daniels-Midland Cor-
poration, parent of the Command-
er Larabie (flour) company told 1
the bakers that when rice process-
ers discovered how to polish rice |
four centuries ago, they made pos-
sible the disease known as beri-
beri, which, he said, "has been
responsible for more deaths than
all the Asiatic encounters during
that entire (400 years) period of
time."
Of course, Dr. Pacini did not say
that anyone who eats rice will
have beri-beri, but he left the im-
pression that such misfortune is
possible, and he did rice this in-
jury in such an incidental way that
the public will not believe
he did it purposely.
This instance, only one of many
others about which we read in
newspapers or hear over the radio,
by itself does amount to much,
but it is sufficient to provoke
