There is a story, for the exact truth of which, however the Vagabond cannot youth, told of an employee in one of Mr. Ford's automobile factories who on his death-bed was asked to give his idea of paradise. It had been this worthy man's occupation to give the second from the last turn to the last bolt on the chasis as they moved past him, his fellow worker standing beside him putting the finishing touch to the product. Now as he lay dying he could think of but one supreme desire, but one thing which to him to approach the unknowable paradise. His answer was short and unhesitating. "I should have liked sometime to have given that bolt its last turn."

Perhaps one of the greatest evils in the mass production which is the modern factory system is the use of man power as machinery, a sort of machinery with eyes and fingers to give so and so many turns to such and such bolts as they pass by in an endless, changeless stream from morning till night; a sort of machinery that gets in the habit of doing its particular bit of work like the dog on the turnspit and requires about as much intellegence. It is this habit in factory work of which Mr. E. D. Smith will speak at 9 o'clock this morning in Emerson A.
