A sophisticated young man o.
Memphis wants to know.
MY dear Mrs. Jerome:
have been about q lot and
I've known a lot of women, but
I haven't found one yet worth
falling in lo,e with. In fact,
have come to doubt that any
such thing as love exists. I've had
every opportunity to feel it and
yet I just don't get that way. I
find women too easy and too
stupid to be t. Ken seriously. Now,
I'm asking you-isn', all this
talk of great loves the bunk?
SOPHISTICATE.
My dear young man, love is not the
bunk. An emotion which has in
spired the greatest literature, the
finest dramas, the most sublime
deeds, as well as the most terrible
ones, in history must exist.
But this kind of love is not COM
mon. 1t is not to be found every
day, nor ever year-or perhaps II
every lifetime. That is the reason
it is material for great drama ano
literature. Great love is rare; ant
when it is found it creates great

It is planned to provide for each student IN
the public schools vocational guidance card
listing the requirements, in terms OF test scores,
for a great variety of positions. When the boy
compares his own scores with those given on
the card he can see for himself what his abili-
ties will be worth to industry and even
roughly estimate his chances for employment
and making good in his chosen vocation.
Thus the chances will be reduced that the
round-peg person will try to pound himself
into the square hole, and the great problem
of labor turnover may be somewhat alleviated.
This interesting approach to the unemploy-
ment problem has been worked out in the re-
search division Of the United States Civil Com
mission Of which DR.. L. j. ORourke is the
director.
Dr. ORourke, aside from his position in the
country's greatest employing agency, has de-
voted years of study to the problem of voca-
tional guidance and the testing of special apti-
tudes. During the World War he was Of
the psychologists called into the Government
service to study the problem of the proper plac-
ing of the mass Of carpenters, lawyers, bakers.
scientists, clerks and day laborers, all gathered
for the common purpose of winning the war.
He is the author Of series of vocational guild
ance tests.
In the Civil Service Commission he has been
in charge Of the gradual revision Of the exam
nations given to men and women applying for
positions in the Government service. The old
types of examination, which tested the appIi-
cant in a stereotyped way his knowledge of
'readin' writin' and 'rithmetic," and penman-
ship and inquired into his knowledge of politi-
cal boundaries of the States are giving way
before the newly developed psychological exam
nations. These psychological examinations are
designed to test not so much what the applicant
has learned by rote, but more his native ability
and his aptitude for the position applied for.
The new type of question to be used for the
Government service, for example, represents .
revolution in test procedure. It is this examna-
tion or modification of it, that will be given
in the schools.
IT is now possible for an applicant to complete
the entire examination and make a good
score without writing more than a half dozen
words in longhand, besides those filled in on the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-26


trial organizations are carried to successful
completion. The Civil Service Commission is
now working on series Of vocational tests
which will be made available to all Uncle Sans
young nephews and nieceS in public high
schools. The scores made by any boy or girl
on these examinations will indicate to the
youngster and to the parents or vocational adj
visers particular aptitude for a variety Of jobs.
The first series is designed to show the stu
dents fitness for a position as stenographer.
Several other series are being planned for other
occupations.
When the tests have been given widely, as is
planned, In high schools all over the country,
any one taking them can know exactly how
he compares with thousands of his fellow stu
dents He can estimate his own comparative
chances Of success in a wide choice of occu-
pations.
But the Government research workers who
are developing the plan have devised another
and better basis of comparison. The same tests
prepared for use In the schools also will be
given to great numbers of people who are
already being paid dollars and cents for their
skill in industry. Almost so industrial concerns,
employing thousands of Office workers, have
offered to help the Government officials by Civ
ing these tests to their employees.
WHEN all these test papers are assembled
and tabuated. score Of 10 will mean
much more than just passing" It will give the
person attaining it a measure Of his ability on
. standard scale. The employers question,
"How well can you type?" can then be answered
with definite, meaningful figure as II can
do better than three fourthS of your employees"
Employers will be able to set definite stand
ards for employment. and employees viii be able
to know just what proficiency they must attain
In order to give satisfaction.

 But the systems gold is inad- eQuate to permit an extension.

yIeNDP S RUSSIAN
 RIVER LODGE IS .
 DESTROYED.-FIRE

A misfortune that will be equally mourned by many sports men both here and abroad has overtaken Lew W- Bishop, Prince of Hosts of world famed Russian River, the home of the big trout.
 Bishop has just lost by fire his new fishing and hunting lodge on Russian River which he has been two years in con- structing. Now the old lodge as well as the new are a heap of ashes in which are buried all of Lew's personal effects, his be- loved rifles and fishing tackle, his boots and cloths, everything in fact but Victrola and a mattress. When he arrived in Seward Thursday night with Fred Broadwel he had nothing left but his land his foxes and the clothes he stood in.
 Broadwell has been down there finishing Up the interior decor ations Of the new lodge and the two had moved into the building three days ago. Some potatoes had been dug and left on the ground but for fear some of them had frozen, Bishop spread them on the floor of the new lodge and had built a fire in the old stove.
 Nothing had happened the first night but the morning of the third day the men were awakened by the popping of cartridges and aWoke to find the lodge building mass of flames. Hot dripping tar from roofing burned them in their efforts at fife fighting which were futile.
 Soon the new building was in flames and all they could save was the aforesaid mattress and music box. Bishop declared ne is going right back and start another lodge.
 Bishops lodge ifs international ly known and now there will be an international lodge of sorrow.
 Many a local fisherman has en joyed the famous Bishop hospi- tality and several of the local boys ale trying to dope it out so that they can get away from their duties here for awhile and devote some strong-arm effort and other needful assistance in the new building operations.

 Miss Nichols left New York last Monday and made overnight stops at Columbus, Wichita, Amarillo and Kingman.
 She covered the route faster than any man except Captain Frank M. Hawks, who did it in a little more than three hours swifter.
