THOUGH never print letter
~ unless it has been sent me for
that express purpose, the fol-
lowing letter is so very personal -
even though all identity has been
deleted Il would like to repeat that
it is quoted with the writer's permis-
sion.
Dear Mrs. Post Job fright is what
I have, and the malady has almost
reached acute morbidness. Last June
when l graduated from X. with
honors. I thought Opportunity was
just standing by waiting for me. l
could not have believed it possible
that l, or any one else of supposedly
normal mind, could become suddenly
stricken with complete aphasia upon
coming face to face with Opportunity
in the definite form of a personnel
director.
The final episode occurred today.
By what ought to have been my lucky
break was admitted into the presence
of man who could have given me the
job l most wanted. But even as I
approached his desk, l was seized in
the grip of paralyzing fright. Every
thing had planned to tell him van
ished from my mind. could not even
make intelligent answers to the few
questions put to me!
''In fact, the interview was night
mare from which l could not wake
until got behind the locked door Of
my own room at home where, on my
bed, cried my eyes out, and all the
things ! meant to say - even the
manner in which I intended to say
them - came rushing back to me.
And now the only thing I can
think of is to ask you what can do to
conquer what I have no name for
except fright. The puzzling thing is
that I never had anything like it be-
fore. At school and college made
friends easily; never minded on
lockers when took part in sports, nor
audiences when sang, and there was
nothing l loved more than debates.
Perhaps it is important to tell you
that am not good looking. and hav-
ing almost no money to spend on
clothes. All the same l had never felt
conscious of my looks until found
myself face to face with one of those
exquisitely decorative females known
as receptionists. She sat behind her
desk as cool as St. Peter himself
stood in front of her and then job
fright seized me and all was lost.
Meanwhile, the jobs are going to
those who know better than how to
bid for them. College taught me how
to think for myself and work for my
self. But l came away without learn
ing how to sell the idea to a potential

impersonally. In doing this try not I'd
change your natural expression or pos
ture. This is important. because unless
you are distressed you are apt to look
at yourself with a direct and unself1 !
conscious expression.
Therefore try to notice whether the.
face OF the woman in the mirror is
likable. Does she look at you with
frankness and intelligence? Or is sh(
posed? The point is merely to assurd
you that your own natural expressiol
is far more appealing than any drama
tized expression. And to realize this id
to contribute to feeling Of ease.
OF still greater importance is it I'd
make an appraisal Of values as they
are. You know perfectly well that
cum laude was bestowed upon you fod
merit. You know you are qualified fo1
the job. just as you know that the
calm cool woman at the reception desk
was probably upset when she herself
made the rounds.
And as last point: Use your COM
nonsense to realize that college life is
a sample of real life - trial ground,
as it were - in which, if you make
good. you can believe that the same
qualities which helped you then vii
help you to gain what you work for in
later life.

is based. Akin Tamiroff, William
FraWley, Dudley Digges, Porter Hall
and others are in the cast. This

most important productions, and
is among the outstanding pictures
to be featured during Loew'S new
movie season.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 4.-Tobis
Films of Germany, apparently ex-
hausted by the effort of trying to
weave story in and out Of the
restrictions of the Nazi censors,

dollar subsidiary company in Eng

There seems no way, however,
of Turing a real Tom Sawyer or a
Huckleberry Finn onto the David

in 80 towns, of 5000 interviews
with kiddies and 130some screen
tests, neither Selznick, William
Wellman, the director, nor any
body else concerned with the pic
ture, feel that they have yet en-
countered the perfect boys for the
parts. The whole production is
being indefinitely delayed mean
while. It is really an extraordi-
nary situation, since the very ma

There were 14,065 injury and oc-
cupational disease claims filed with
the Industrial commission of Ohio
in January, according to a report
compiled by Superintendent Thomas
p. Kearns of the division of safety
and hygiene. The figure represents
an increase of 2,486 claims in COM
parison with the corresponding
month of 1895. There were eighty
eight fatalities in January, compar--
ed to ninety in January. 1885, Su-
perintendent Kearns said.
Ohio farmers are much better eff
from a livestock standpoint than
they were year ago. A survey just
completed by the federal-state re-
porting service shows that Ohio
farmers have more cattle, sheep and
hogs than they did year ago, and
that the value of the three classes
of livestock had increased fifty-three
percent by January 1. The number
Of horses and mules remained sta
tionary. The average value per
head of all cattle and calves was
placed at $39.40, an increase of
$3.50 per head since Jan. 1, 1885.
Milk cows increased in value from.
$31 to $51 each. Sheep and lambs
increased in value from S4.16 to
$6.1O on the average. The value of
hogs increased 1913 percent during
the year, to an average price Of
$3.50 per head, the survey indi-
Gated. The total value of Ohio
livestock on January /, exclusive of
sheep and lambs on feed, was esti-
mated at 93,001,000.
