TODAY?

ACCORDING to Theodosia Hewlett, vocational counsellor, in Occupations Magazine, there is a great scarcity of proficient stenographers. One employer, after trying hundreds of so-called ‘stenographers,” was unable to find a single ope who

| “could take dictation rapidly, transcribe her notes accurately, punctu{ate and spell correctly, and draw up

a [perfect letter in good business style.” In one quite ordinary dictation test 55 failed and 15 were doubtful, These advisers urge all stenographers to study every type of the newer office work, including calculating machines, and to study. the Ehglish language.

POPLAR ONE? YOUR ANSWER, 3

THIS is such a recent development that older women can remember when it was quite the reverse, although long enough ago that younger women cannot realize that it was not always so. Hardly more than a generation ago the “extra women"—unmarried daughters, maidens and widowed aunts and even cousins were, as a matter

of course, supported by some man of the family—father, or Uncle George, or Cousin Will or second cousin Jehosaphat. But the “emancipation” of women has changed this radically—no doubt for the better in some ways and in others for the worse,

THERE is only one place in this world to find wisdom and that is in wise men’s heads. And there are not many such heads. They are the only ones, however, who can devise intelligent measures for either individual or community conduct. On the other hand, the most popular man may be the worst man to select as a guide—he may be merely a glad-hander, baby kisser and gen: eral. all-round yesser. Sometimes such a man is wise—but more often

| the really wise person is some modest man (or woman) who devotes his

fime to the only thing that will guide people wisely—namely, quiet thinking.

NEXT—If a man is color blind is he more likely to drive past a red or green traffic light?

COMMON ERRORS

Never say, “He came in at about 3 o'clock”; omit ‘“at.”

Men should be thought of, but never spoken of.—Nadja Ostrovska, Russian princess, refusing to comment on American men.

Good Padic Music

By JAMES THRASHER

Charles Sanford Skilton, known to most of us.as a transcriber of

| Indian tribal melodies, will be represented on Howard Barlow's ‘ | concert tomorrow by three compositions of contrasting character.

‘pop” Mr.

Barlow will conduct a symphony orchestra in these and Othe works at

3:30 p. m. via WFBM.

Incidental music. for the theater will be the first of Mr. Skilton's music played—a Prelude for a performance of Sophocles’ “Electra.”

Then comes an Intermezzo and Fugue from the oratorio,

‘The Guardian.

Angel,” and finally, the more familiar “War Dance.” The com- | poser is on the musical faculty of the Kansas University School of Fine Arts. Before the Skilton compositions are heard, Mr. Barlow is to conduct the orchestra in the overture to Rossini's “Tancred”; Debussy’s “La Danse,” and the “Prize Song” from Wagner's “Die Meister-singer.”
