Professions Are Found
By ''PsychOtechnique'

PARIS 1P-Parents' perplexities in
picking professions for their children
are to be relieved by the new science
of "psychotechnique," according to It's
leading exponents from % nations
who recently discussed the subject.
Instead of waiting until boys and
girls attain college age to choose their
future paths, parents are urged by
the psychotechnicians to settle the
problem when their children finish
elementary school. Chance circum-
stances no longer are to play any part
in the decision since the scientists by
means of elaborate tests, physical
mental and psychological involving ex-
animation of memory attention and
general intelligence, claim to be able
to pick exactly the job for which
each boy and girl is best fitted.
At several European schools where
the tests have been used for some
years, not single pupil has switched
from the career mapped out for him.

Premier Mussolini, 1t is declared, realizing his reputation for being miIitaristic. waited for an op- portune moment, and succeeded in discrediting Partisan intrigue, frus- trating the Jugoslav plans and tustifying Italian military aid to Albania, as provided for in the re- gently signed treaty of Tirania.
 Italy bases her claim to influence in Albania, among other things, on the strategic necessity or keeping the southeastern coast Of the Adria tic out of enemy hands. The author tiles voice the opinion that if Italy should relinquish this influence, either of two things would happen -Jugoslavia would take hand. or civil strife would become rampant, resulting probably in the loss of AL banian independence.
 The trend of the revolutionary movement in Albania it is declared. is not toward true democracy, but is due to the activities of self-pro- noting zcalots, who are 'spurrcd on by the Serbs"

 The transaction, however. Is in line with the policy of the Wash ington government, which has shown a firm determination to back Diaz since his recognition.

 for DiaZ Government

Washington, March 2i P-The American government has backed LID it's recognition or the Diaz re- zine in Nicaragua by selling arms and ammunition 70 maintain law and order.
 The sale was made nearly month ago at the very time that President Coolidga's Nlcarasuan pol icy was drawing heated fire from Chairman Borah Of the senate for ei:n relations committee, and other members Of congress.
 Announcement Of the transaction was made officially by the state de- partmcnt fate last night It said the war department had sold the Diaz government 5000 Krag rifles, 200 Browning machine guns and 100000 rounds of ammunition The price was s217,71S. to be paid by a series of notes the first of which will be due January 3l, 1929.
 The munitions already have been shipped to Managua, the NIcara- guan capital.
 They were represented by the N;cara guan government the state department said-"as being urgent ly needed to maintain law and or der in the country, and suppress revolutionary activities which not only threaten the constitutional gov ernment of Nicaragua but also the lives and property Of Americans and other foreigners"
 The department said the notes were for 5000 each and would be pavable monthly after the maturity date of the first They bear per cent interest. It added that the terms were those upon which S170,- 585 worth of arms and ammunition had been sold to Nicaragua in No vember, 1921; and that in 1924 similar transaction had been en- tered into with the Obrcgon gov ernment In Mexico after it's recog- milton by the United states.
 While announcement of the sale was made without comment, il is recalled that Diaz at the time 0. recognition requested the Washing ton government for assistance in any form that could be extended. Noth- ing, however, was done for q con- siderable time and 1t was only after the liberal faction in Nicaragua be- came very active, particularly on the east coast, that the Washing ion government established neutral zones in the vicinity of American properties and other foreign hold ings.
 Consummation Of the transaction under date of February 25. came two days after the transport Hen derson had sailed from Quantico.

Premier MussOini Id0liZed for Part in Albanian Dispute

Rome. March 24 cpl-Premier Mussolini idol Of fascism, has add cd to his diplomatic triumphs, in the opinion Of his countrymen. through the manner in which he conducted Italy's case in the con- troversy with Jugoslayia over Al bania.
 A fourth Balkan victory is the way the affair is referred to by those close to offiCialdom They point out as the first three conquests, Italy's conclusion of treaty with Albania, confirming Italian influ- ence in that country; the shatter- ing Of the Francophile little entente hy ratification of the treaty recog- nizing the cession Of Bessarahia to Rumania, and the winning of Bul- garian sympathy.
 Mussolini's genius for political maneuvering, his supporters de- clare, was displayed by the manner which he placed his country. in the eyes of world opinion, in the posi- ton of peace defender, rather than making it appear that she was threatening war.
 Claiming that the premier has won the distinction Of being among the worlds great statesmen. Italian observers emphasize that without q single gesture toward rattling the sabre" he has been victorious in a series Of contests with French political hecemony in the Balkans" :"
 The Italian version of the Alban- ian incident Is that Jugoslavia. not ing that Ahmed Zosu. president Of Albania, was losing favor, and that there was growing spirit of re-
