Choosing Employees by Test.
During recent years much has been
heard on the sclentific use of human
imaterial, including the careful selec.
tion of men best suited for various
classes of manual labor. An important
point is the discrimination between
strength and manual dexterity. A
number of devices are proposed for
testing the latter quality, such as the
time to transfer a number of matches
fromm a pan into a series of holes pre.
pared for them, For other classes of
work strength of fingers and forearm
may be tested with the ergograph, or,
again, grip may be tested with a dyna
mometer., As regards manual dexter
ity, the shape of the hand and fingers
often offers a'good guide. It is said
that the very finest typists have exe
ceptionally small fingers and that gen.
erally small dimensions tend to quick
ness and deftness of movement.

PRISONERS WENT ON STRIKE
Refused to Go Back to Jail Until One
of Their Number Was “Fired” By
Workhouse Superintendent.
Perhaps the queerest strike on recs
ord was that of workhouse prisoners
in Delaware county, Indiana, recently,
when they refused to return to jail un
less one of their number recelved his
freedom. And it was not that they de-
sired him to be free, either, but be
cause they wished to be freed of his
presence,
“I had my gang of prisoners way out
by Yorktown, working on a country
road that needed repairing” sald
Jumes Cole, workhouse superintendent,
nccording to the Indianapolis News,
“when I noticed, about time to load
them into the automobile and bring
them back, that the prisoners were
hanging back and talking among them-
gelves, Finally one of them cnme to
me with the story and his demands,
““The boys here won't go back to
jail with you unless you fire Danny,
there,’ sald the spokesman. “They won't
ride back in the machine with him be-
he has vermin In his halr and
on his bady, You elther let him go or
no more jall for us. We've agreed to
make a run for it if you don’t, and
you can’t catch all of us’
“Of course, I had no right to allow
the man his freedom,” Cole continued,
“hut the fellow jumped up
nway just then and I'm bound to admit
{n't try very hard to eatch him,
Anyway, that broke the strike.”
