Pennsylvania Railroad
Applies Psychological Test
in Engaging Engineers

PHILA DELPHIA. June after
months of experiment the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has completed Sc
ries of psychological tests for all ap-
pleants for positions as engineers
and other operating employees in place
of the time-honored written and
physical examinations.
The management will probably
adopt the idea as a means of auto
matically separating the fit from the
unfit and avoiding the great expense
OF training men who later are found
unqualified for their positions.
The new psychological tests, found
ed on principles laid down by Profess
scr Hugo Muensterberg, of Harvard.
are designed to put TO economic use
some Of the many discoveries con
corning the way the human mind
works under different conditions.
The railroad officials have been inn
pressed with the enormous waste re-
sulting from the lack of any scien-
tihc method of picking men and
women for railroad work and they
found there were too many square
pegs in round holes To the great loss
of the employe and employer alike.
About twenty engineers have been
subjected to the experimental tests.
The tests were devised to ascertain
three things.
1. How quickly a mans mind acts
in response 10 what he sees.
>. Whether he acts correctly or in
correctly
:. Whether the impressions he re-
ceives from what he sees are strong
and positive or weak and easily
shaken.

LIFT BARRIER ON
P. 0. APPOINTEEESS
With Objections Removed from
Abel and Benoit, O'Hanlon
F. Confirmation Expected.
IFrom . stan Correspondent.I


WASHINGTON, June 9.-One BY one
the entombed postmasters are being
released from their sarcophagi.
The latest to be lifted from his
burial place is George D. Abel. the
man named for and confirmed as
postmaster of Haddon Heights in
March. His name vas slipped over
in the Senate by Senator MARITIME
without consultation with Chairman
Grosscup, of the Democratic State
Committee. and some Of the leading
politicians in South Jersey. They did
not want Mr.. Abel: their man was
John D. Floyd. At their request, SEN
ator Hughes employed the rule Of
senatorial courtesy and had Mr.. Abel
consigned 10 the Senate's sarcophagi.
It was expected that some way would
be found 10 have him withdrawn and
the man selected by the practical pol
itieians substituted For that reason
Mr.. Abel has slumbered in the tomb
for the last three months.
Today il was announced that the
ban placed upon him will be lifted.
Senator MARITIME was SO informed aEd
he expressed great satisfaction. State
Chairman Grosscup sent word to
Senator Hughes that It would not be
necessary to hold up the Haddon
Heights postmastership any longer.
The local politicians are up in arms
over it and in order to bring about a
condition of harmony, Mr.. Abel will
be allowed TO have the job for which
he was confirmed on March last.
In like manner the postmaster
Wrangle at Ridgewood has been set
tied. The opposition 10 Emory Benoit
was withdrawn and he was duly con-
hrmed and will receive his official
appointment within a day or two.
This is a matter of satisfaction to
Representative Archibald C. Hart.
He sent in the name of Benoit. but il
was opposed by some of the poliri-
clans for no particular reason other
than they had & man. who was said
TO be more effective around the polls
on election day than was Mr.. Benoit.
They made such a vigorous protest
that Senator MARITIME, in his usual
complacent way, agreed to hold up
the nomination, and, accordingly, did
so. Mr.. Benoit was confirmed in the
interest of political harmony in the
Sixth Congressional district.
One postmaster remains in the SEN
atorial graveyard. He is John J.
OHanlon, named by Representative
Townsend for postmaster Of South
Orange At the behest OF certain
members of the Woodrow Wilson
League, Senator MARITIME held up the
confirmation of Mr.. O'Hanlon. The
President was informed that Mr..
O'Hanlon was not a true Wilson man,
| and the President promised to inves-
tigate. He is still investigating. Sec
rotary Tumulty, when asked if the
President had come to any decision
on the matter, said there was 40
change in the case. Representative
Townsend is confident that his man
will go through, and the President,
now that the matter is in his hands,
will not have his name withdrawn.

THANKSGIVING IN A N

brated ~5ursoyre's Surrender.
The first national Thanksgiving day
was authorized by congress for Thurs
day. Dec. 16, 1777, in view of the sur
render of General Burgoyne. The man
ner in which the day was observed,
aside from religious exercises, by the
army at Valley Forge is thus described
by an officer Of Washington's army:
Last Wednesday was set apart as a
day of general rejoicing, when we had
a feu de joie, conducted with the great
est order and regularity. The army
made a most brilliant appearance, aft
er which his excellency dined in pub
lie with all the officers of the army,
attended ty a band of music. | never
was present where there was such un-
feigned and perfect joy as was discov-
cred in every c%ountenance.
The entertainment was concluded
with a number of patriotic toasts at
tended with huzzas. When the general
took his leave there was universal
clap. with loud huzzas. which contin-
ued till he had proceeded a quarter of
a mile. during which time there were
a thousand hats tossed in the air. His
excellency turned around with his ret
inue and huzzaed several times"

THE PIE GAME.
BIindfolded. You Cut as Big a Piece as
You Can For Yourself.


A laughable blindfold game Is based
upon a particularly large specimen OF
the Thanksgiving delicacy-pumpkin
pie This should be ut least twice or
three times as large as the usual
dainty.
Each player in turn is led to the Ia
BILE blindfolded and given a huge knife
with which to cut.
He is supposed to cut a slice for
himself holding his left hand behind
him. AS he is presented with the slice
thus cut. whether it be generous or
sparing, depends on himself.
Another exciting game consists In
seeing who can make the longest neck
lace of pumpkin seeds In a given time.
Needles and thread are distributed
and a bowl Of seeds arranged within
reach Of the company.
II there are many players have a
bowl of seeds for each small group.

Thanksgiving Cheer For the Little Ones
STRINGING CRANBERRIES.
A Game Which Is Full Of Fun and
Simple.

F
A quiet form Of fun for Thanksgiv-
ing and the simplest one possible is a
cranberry stringing. This is an ex-
cellent way to pass an afternoon or
evening with almost no preparation.
Plenty of handsome red cranberries.
plenty of strong thread and some large
needles are the only things absolutely
necessary. In addition the affair Is
made pretty by the use of tally cards
and well chosen prizes.
Look over the cranberries carefully,
discarding all but the big. round ones
that will make good beads. Put a bowl
of them on each of the little tables.
which should be arranged as for pro-
gressive card games, with seats for
four persons ut each. Give every play
er a needle and a spool OF thread. A
good way to choose partners Is by
matching the colors of the thread. hav-
ing two spools of each color.
AT n signal every one begins to string
berries as fast as possible. 1t sounds
far easier than it is. The needle must
90 through from end TO end. A hig-
gledy piggledy string is instantly bar
red out by the inspector. 1t Is won
derful how the thread will insist ON
tangling just rs you think you are
moving on oiled wheels.
At the signal every n stops string
ing. the inspector measures strings,
and the partners who have the longest
when added move up. After the tenth
time a prize should be given to the
two having moved the most.
