VAST GAIN Is SHOWN IN
PROFESSIONAL WORKERS
Nearly Ten Times as Many Now as
60 Years Ago, Says Report.

BIZ Times Spcoidi
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Nearly
ten times as many Americans now
are engaged in professional work of
various kinds as there were sixty
years ago, it is revealed in the re-
port of the Presidents research
committee on social trends, just
made public.
The advance has been most strik-
ing in the newer professions, the
number of engineers of all classes
having increased more than thirty
fold between 1870 and 1890, the re-
port shows.
Changes and increases in the
number of Americans occupied in
the professions in tire last six dec
AIDES up to 1880 are analysed in
the chapter of the committees re-
port entitled Shifting Occupational
Patterns" the authors of which are
Ralph G Hurlin and Meredith B,
Givens. The chapter is based on
statistics furnished by the United
States census.
Noting the growth in the number
of engineers. the chapter states: In
a special sense the machine age
is the creation of the technical
engineers. whose numbers, eXclud-
ing electricians, have increased
from 1000 in 1870 to total of more
than 100000 in 1890

Shortly before he left on the

then, however, to do more than

MARDI CRAS TO
FILL PURSE OF
NEW ORLEANS
Thousands Spent, Hundreds
Given Work by CoIorfuI
Annual Fete.
BIZ Times Special


NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 17.-With
expenditures that in the depression
year of 1888 will total more than
s125,000, New Orleans annual Mardi
Gras Farewell to Flesh" is an i'm
portant contributor to the stability
of business in this city.
Generations of New Orleans
craftsmen-often whole families
have known no trade other than
construction of the elaborate papier-
mache floats that after a year of
patient work in hidden dens will
come forth between Feb. % and %
to dazzle the eyes of visiting throngs
for scarcely more than an hour.
Approximately 100 of these
graphic illustrations of fairy stories
are built for Momus, Comus Pro-
teus, Rex, and the Druids.
Many Given Work
Among those employed are art
lists, carpenters, textile workers who
make more than 1000 costumes for
the 'krewe" members; electricians,
torch-bearers, musicians, plus the
services of those who supply the raw
materials and other of the glamor-
Gus accoutrements; the merchants
who sell evening clothes and all
kinds of souvenirs.
Between 800 and TOO women are
called out by the maSkers to dance
in the course of one ball." said the
captain of one of the prominent
organizations. These women know
they are going to be called out. They
buy new evening wraps and dresses;
they are presented with costly to-
kens, flowers, and they spend more
money with beauty shops-all of
which means money in circulation
Cost Is Heavy
One New Orleans carnival organi-
zation has LOO persons on its pay
roll. The lights for the night of the
parade cost $4,000 alone. The
queens mantle usually represents an
expenditure by the organization of
$1,000 and the kings cost at least
81 1000. Each float costs at least
$500. Every parade and ball costs
from $4,000 to $4,000.
At least 100000 persons see each
parade, and at least $4,000 of them
come from out of the city.
The argument has been made that
the festivities of Mardi Gras inter-
fere with business, but the answer is
that in New Orleans they haze
learned to make festivity pay in
many Ways-through social contacts,
through added employment, through
attracting visitors, and through
providing the people with mental
safety valve.

Serve to Furnish Much
Valuable Information,
SAYS Heqenberqer.

Transoceanic flights were defend
ed as useful, and not merely spec
tacular, by Captain A. F. Hegen-
berger, who flew from the United
States to Honolulu in 1927 speaking
before the local section, National
Aeronautics Association, Thursday
night at the AntlerS.
Such flights, when properly pre-
pared for, he said, serve to furnish
much information and knowledge of
what can be expected in future
ocean airline flying, and to develop
and test instruments.
He defended his trip, the first
nonstop hop to Hawaii, as a mill
tary fight in an army plane to de-
