WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO


Having IN college has received wide
publicity because now and then some
stu. s are carried too far. But as a
matter Of fact every trade and profess
sion has its special forms Of haZing for
the apprentice Sending the new boy
after IT, left-handed monkey wrench
Is one example The printers devil has
to submit 70 q lot Of humiliation before
he learns the meaning of the terms used
around the printing ONCE.
The more severe forms of hazing.
which imperil the life and health of
the beginner, are now universally con-
demned, but good-natured hazing has
never been fully suppressed and never
win. It springs spontaneously with
each successive generation OF newcomers
on the scene. And it serves very use
full purpose.
Evening star., 1928-07-19

We haze new members to fatten our
own ego, to get fun out Of the humilia-
ton of the poor novice who has no
effective comeback. But that is not the
whole story. Hazing Is very effective
means of init ing the novice into the
mysteries of the trade or profession.
Loyalty thrives upon common tradition.
Similar experiences create O. fellow feel
ing that is essential to cooperation In
any field of activity.
We haze the freshman because it
furnishes us amusement, and because it
serves the useful purpose OF really
initiating the novice into the mysteries
of the cult or trade and profession. It
is an essential part of his training and
education.

Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But
you can be prepared. Then you can
do what any experienced nurse would
do--what most physicians would tell
you to do-give a few drops of plain
Castoria. No sooner done than Baby

moments. Yet you have eased your
child without use OF single doubtful
drug; Castoria is vegetable. So it's
safe TO use as often as an infant has
any little pain you cannot pat away.

children. Twenty-Five million bot

MAJORITY Of RADIO
WORKERS WOMEN
u. S. Bureaus Make Survey
OF Industry-Cita so Ma
jor Occupations.

Reclining within the solid comfort
of his living room, his radio going full
blast. the listener perhaps some time
or other has thought for moment
about the ingenious device that literally
picks from the air those choice morsels
| of entertainment. But he probably has
not bothered about the actual facts.
What are these actual facts? Who
builds these radio receivers and how
much do they get for it? How does
the industry manage to incorporate in
each new model of a receiver some
thing that makes reception infinitely
better? These are questions that run
through the listeners mind
Now the answers. They are made
available by the Bureau of Labor statis-
tics. Labor Department, after an in
| tensive study Of the wages and hours
of labor in the radio manufacturing
| industry.
There are three absolutely divergent
branches of manufacture that unite to
provide radio reception. These are the
| receiving set branch, the speaker and
| the radio tube. Each division has
| manifold separate occupations.
All told there are so different major
| occupations that go into the radio re-
ceivcr manufacture. Of these 81 are
| in the manufacture of tubes, the very
heart of the receiver The receiver
is the product of II distinct occupations
and the speaker IL.
In the receiving set branch, the sur
vey disclosed that the average full-time
earnings for one week ranged from
| 1854 for electrical testers, female, to
S42.1l for tool and die makers, male,
| 4
! for all employees was $24.59. The stand
| ard of wages in the speaker branch
was about the same.
A somewhat lower standard exists
in tube manufacture, due to the fact
that women predominant in this
branch. In the manufacture of re-
| ceiving sets % per cent and of speaker
only SO per cent of the employees were
women. while in establishments making
tubes SO per cent we're women. The
average full-time earnings in one week
ranged from $15.97 for filament testers,
female, to $2782 for flare makers, male,
the average for all employees being
$2l5s
AS to progress in design, the sur
veyors report that radio engineers are
constantly at work seeking improve
ments.
THE radio industry, literally speak
ing, may not be in its infancy, yet
certainly 1t has not passed out of its
childhood and changes and improve
ments follow one another in rapid sue
cession," they observed
Engineers nave designed and re-
designed, tested and retested, built and
rebuilt sets; consequently, the sets of
few months ago are more or less
obsolescent today. The trend Of the
times is for mechanism which requires
little care or attention. which eliminates
the necessity of renewals, and which
will operate at the pressure of but
ton and the turn of dial. What the
improvements will be next year is highly
| problematical"

NO BID is RECEIVED.
Donovan Asks Right to Sell D. c.
Property.

Since advertisements for bids on Dis
trict owned property at Sixteenth and
Webster streets have failed to produce
proposal Daniel j. Donovan, auditor
and budget officer, yesterday asked the
Commissioners to authorize its DISPOSE
ton at a private sale.
The property was acquired as a site
for a new fire engine house, but the
Commissioners were prevented from
using it for that purpose by covenant
in the deed which was disclosed when a
group of residents in the vicinity pro-
tested the erection of fire engine house
at that point. Sale of the property was
authorized at the last session of Con-
gress.
