satisfaction TO himself and to others.
The professional driver should surpass
a low standard of intelligence, but a
man who would be successful in a
profession or i'll u large business
should not be chauffeur. Tests
made under my direction show that
taxicab drivers who do poorly have
more accidents and earn less than
others. But competence does not in
crease greatly with intelligence; In
deed, those ranking highest in certain
tests had more accidents than the
average, which is probably due to lack
of experience or lack of character.
placing them in position below that
warranted by their intelligence. The
professional driver should. however,
be we'll informed on the rules OF the
road and have the knowledge and in.
telligence needed for the work he does.
Ability Is Needed.
The chauffeur should have more
than average natural ability and ac-
Quired skill in handling machines and
meeting objective situations. The ap-
titude and training can to great ad-
vantage be measured by psychological
methods, as has been demonstrated
with taxicab drivers by DR.. Viteles
ington, DR.. Snow In Chicago and DR..
Wechsler in Pittsburgh. In Paris a
psychological test of this kind is made
by the municipality and required of all
taxicab drivers. In experiments under
the auspices of the Psychological Cor
poration, the time and accuracy of the
drivers response to varying signals
are measured. and the extent to which
these are delayed or interfered with
by unexpected sensory or emotional
distractions. There is a definite re-
lation between the results of such tests
and the ability of the taXicab driver,
as measured by a low accident record
and high earning capacity.
Social intelligence is more impor-
tant for the professional driver than
for a mechanic in a factory Of equal
earning capacity. We are now max
ing experiments on this subject. We
want to measure careleSSneSS and the
tendency to take chances which may
be characteristics of drivers having
adequate intelligence and much skill.
The abuse of alcohol and other bad
habits are here relevant. Courtesy
and consideration are of consequence
in lessening the chances Of accidents.
They are also valuable attributes in
those in constant relations with other

MEXICAN ROMANCE
 LIKE DAYS OF OLD
Modern Jazz Has Not Yet
 Crossed the Rio Gpande

Laredo, Texas May 2S tP-NIin- gled here in the borderland where two races dwell and two civiIiza- tions meet are customs as old as romance and as new as jazz.
 The twentieth century marches hlaringlv down to the bewtiching Rio Grande del Norte and there it stops for jazz has not yet lcaped the barrier. On the other hand, the nineteenth century fits lip 10 the same great river of the north but does not altogether halt. The in triguing Latin tones Of violin and guitar steal across to soften the din of brass and drum. The river sep arates two centuries but cannot bar the music of the soul.
 Marriage, death, and love give a definite picture Of life on the strangely moving border. These episodes become ceremonies when trimmed in old world moods and the breath Of old world custom gives a different atmosphere 10 new world life.
 Love-making for the young Mex jeans follows a habit centuries old. He may become enamored of a fair senorita but it is only after his father has explained the situation 10 her father that they may be- come formally acquainted, Fain would every Latin hombre pick eIoquence as his patar's outstand- ing virtue,
 The woofng must be done through the barred windows Of the senorita's home until the engage ment is announced. But when the moonlight filters through the leaves, even though the formal an- nouncement is not yet the young senor may strum his trusted guitar under the beloved ones balcony and his rocompense is rose, Each day during the weeks just before the wedding, he passes the home Of the girl and places q note be- heath her door.

New York. May 2S LPt-Earl Car roll. found guilty on two counts Of perjury before a federal grand jury that investigated his bathtub party, today faced the possibility of spend ing 10 years in jail of paying S4,0oo fine
 After his conviction yesterday Federal Judge Goddard set next Thursday, June 9 as the date on which he would pass sentence. The court can impose the maximum sen tence, assess a fine only or send Car roll to jail for 2 day.
 Carroll was free under S5,oQ0 bail while his counsel, Herbert C. Smyth, prepared to appeal the decision.
 The jury found Carroll guilty of lying when he told two successive grand juries that a woman was not in the bathtub on the stage of his theater at a party al which he was host on February 23. The jury found him not guilty of perjury in his denials that the tub contained alcoholic liquids
 Mir Smyth called if a "ffty-tifty' vordict. The jury he said demon stratcd that there was no violation Of the Eolstead act but court charg- ed that 10 convict the defendant the Jury must find that the defendant Testified falsely for the purpose of eoncealing a violation of the prohi- bifiou act"
 Judge Goddard, in charging the jury said:
 "Thc only question before you is whether the defendant told the uuth, or. if he lied did he lie will fully and knowingly
 "If this defendant lied about material matter before the grand jury. it matters not whether he flied like a gentleman as his counsel so adroitIy put if, because the Jaw makes no distinction between d gentleman or the more common place sort of man in d matter of this sort.

Wage Cut Causes Youth
Strike

BELLAIRE, Ohio.-The strike in
the Imperial Glass company of at
least 200 young workers started when
the company tried to force thru an
approximate 10 per cent reduction in
wages The young militant workers
thought that the company was soak
ing enough profits out of their sweat
and blood. They decided to resist this
attempt to lower their standard of liv-
ing. This decision was arrived at in a
meeting of the young workers after
Dec. 25, when the reduction order was
issued.
All the young workers including the
carrying boys, snappers and vase
swingers are affected by the cut The
reduction would work as follows:
Carrying boys from 81 a day to $3.50;
snappers from $3.50 a day to $3.50;
vase swingers from $3.50 a day to
$3.50.
The young strikers committee has
issued a call to all workers to help
them in their struggle.
More can be done. All militant
workers must take this question up in
their local unions and in their central
trades councils. They must pass reso-
buttons of greetings and VOWS Of sol
idarity and send same to the young
strikers. The local labor movement
must line up in support of the young
strikers and utilize the movement for
the organization of the unorganized
glass workers. There must be a unit
ed front between the young and the
adult workers; between the organized
and unorganized workers; between the
skilled and unskilled workers. Today
the officials of the Imperial Glass com
pany are attacking the living standard
of the young workers. Tomorrow they
will attack the living standard OF all
workers.
