Using these seven classifications as
the basis of his book, Rado attempts
to present cross-section Of human

His success depends on whether one
reads the book for the excellent satiri-

be SO excellent, depending entirely on
which school of scientific thought

Daley's young ladies certainly have to
know their current events!
RUT the girls "love it," as they de-
clare, one and all. Mrs. Daley Is
echoed by all her force when she says,
Representatives and Senators are
simply lovely to work fort" 1t takes
the new members little time to get
onto the ropes" as Mrs. Daley says,
but when they do, the little lights
representing their telephones on the
long switchboard wink and blink with
the rapidity OF the old timers.
The Capitol switchboard is In op-
Grafton all the time, between. as well
as during sessions. This Is necessary,
Of course as many Of the ofices are
always open and there Is constant need
Of telephone communications with the
Hill. Offices are functioning, secre-
taries are on hand, and calls must be
put through.
Naturally, between sessions the num-
Der OF calls falls far below the average
for a day when Congress Is in session.
But there is y constant flow OF work,
nevertheless. at all times across the
Capitol board.
Intensely interested In her work.
Mrs. Daley pointed out some OF the
sidelights that she finds absorbing.
For one thing, 1t is interesting, she
says, TO note the reflection Of public
interest In goings-on up on the Hill.
On those occasions when legislation
Is under discussion in which the pub
lie is vitality interested, hundreds Of
calls come across the telephone board
at the Capitol. Everybody wants TO
know what is going on. how they are
voting. what the result Of this or that
is. and calls his favorite Congressman
TO find out.
Calls begin flashing across the board
At $3.50 in the morning, and from
| that time on the number mounts to
high peak up TO the time that the
House and Senate meet at noon.
After that there is lull and decrease
in the number OF calls, but from /
O'Clock TO 1880 and O'Clock the calls
begin flowing again In increasing
numbers until the late afternoon or
dinner-time lull. Many calls are made
at night. too. on the Hill. In fact,
except for the periods when Con-
gressmen and Senators are actually
on the floor, there H constant
stream OF calls and few definite lulls
once the business OF the day is under
way.
Emergency calls often come into
Mrs. Dsley's once, and the only re-
quest then Is. Send Q doctor to

you to call his physician"

IT'S TRIJE


The Average Man takes 18,9O8 steps
in day.
He eats three pounds of food everv
day and drinks about half gallon of
water in one form or another.
The Average Man is too fascinat-
ing subject to be dropped, as we
promised. We're still getting interest
ing letters about him, and we're let
ting down the bars again because
some of these letters criticize state
ments already made about the Ay-
erage Man and should in fairness be
published. Olin E. Hinkle, Lexing@
ton, KY, says:
Some of your contestants have
come rather close to describing the
Average Man. Others have libeled him
most viciously. =.
I'll grant that he doesn't read
many books in a year. But who does.
except club women, college profess
sors and students, and book worms Z?
He is a voracious reader of newspap-
ers, and his big city daily presents
reading matter equivalent to a novel
a day.
He isn't perfect. He isn't rich. But
he is numerous. His consuming pow
er is tremendous. He pays taxes, di-
rectly and indirectly in a volume
which goes far in sustaining the gov
eminent. He supports the schools, the
churches, and most of the things,
good and bad, which are popular.
