Judging Ability
—Via Personnel Route

A tremendous demand for qualified college men
by industry is on its way. At least, this is the
report made in a current executives’ periodical by
Mr. Edmond F. Wright. The article shows em—
ployers how they may find college graduates who
will stick, and gives a few simple rules for gaug-

ing the ability and character of the men they
’fimldlfhéilll may seek to hire.

Mr. Wright’s pointers are: “1, Eliminate any
prejudice you may have against the ‘collegiate’
attitude; 2, Don’t give him the ‘school of hard
knocks’ gag; 3, Don't be too critical of the pros—
pective employee’s dress; 4, Test the candidate
for effective thinking; 5, Having arrived at a
rough estimate of the candidate’s I. Q., test him

THE CEILING.)

 

 

Around Washington

 

 

By Marvin Cox
(A.CIP. Correspondent!

Washington, D. C.«Gctting a bill
introduced in Congress is one of the
easiest things in the world to uccom»
plish. Draft your bill, persuade some
Congressman to drop it in the hopper,
and there you are.

Securing action on a bill after it
is introduced is somethingr else again.
Around 20,000 individual bills were
introduced in the lust Congress, but
only a small fraction of them were
acted upon.

So, while the American Youth Con-

gress experienced little difficulty in
having: the American Youth Act in
ti-oduccd in the House and Senate,
they are having some trouble in hav‘
ing‘ hearings before a committee.
And, naturally LI. hill appropriating
$500,000,000 for the advancement of
youth will require a number of hear-
ings before it is favorably reported
to the Congress for passage.
The Youth Congress in order to
speed action on the bill is, therefore,
adopting a course long since found
effective by later unions, utilities, and
other groups seeking legislation
which is favorable to them. Local and
regional Youth Congress groups and
each of the 3,000 individuals who
made the Youth Pilgrimage to Wash-
ington in February have received
sample letters and telegrams with
which to bombard their Senators and
Representatives.

It seems that a coed lost her hand
bag at one of these night—clubs out~
side of Madison. She didn’t notice
the loss until returning to her soror~
lty house after the date.

Instead of fussing around and driv-
lng' out to the club the next day, she
decided to wait until the following
Saturday, when she had a date to go
there again.

At the check—room, she asked if
anyone had found her bag. Several
were brought out. Could she identify
hers by the contents?

“Why, yes,” answered the coed.
“mine has a pair of pajamas in it!"

Growth rings on baby teeth have
been discovered by Di‘. Isaac Schoor,
of the college of dentistry at the
University of Illinois. These rings.
he states, show a relationship to the
child's age.

London, Eng.~—(ACP)——Thcrc is
no mystery about the Indian ascetics
who walk through fire; they simply
have tough feet. So said Prof. J. C.
Fluizel, of the University of London,
in regard to experiments recently
conducted by that institution’s Coun—
cil for Psychological Investigation.

Glowing red embers were thrown
into a trench 25 feet long and 5 feet
wide. The temperature of the smok-
ing lane was about seven times and
oncdlalf as hot as boiling water, or
740 degrees Centigrade.

Even Ahmed Hussein, a 23—yearv
old Moslem fire—walker sulfei‘ed
burned feet. The amateurs who
walked through the ashes were
burned in varying; degrees.

“My feet seemed to sink into the
flowing; ashes," said A. J. Bould, a
university student, “and some red-
hot Cinders stuck painfully to the
sides of my feet. It was not too
had.”

“I didn’t feel much heat," said R.
Aclcock, the son of an asbestos man-
ufacturer. “My father is an asbes~
ton manufacturer. Perhaps asbestos
runs in the blood."
