The next second he sprang out into
midar. one of the most horrible of
roping sensations. The rope groaned
and screamed as it tore into the bark
of the tree while DR.. Stabler paid it
out. But it held. Berthrong glided
swiftly down until he reached the
branches of a hemlock growing on the
slope far below US. Once in the safety
of its branches, he united himself and
climbed down.
1t took Berthrong ten minutes to
recover from his venture. 1t took me
half an hour to get over the shock of
watching him.
During the long drive back home,
DR.. Stabler explained to me the pur-
pose of bird banding. Everybody
loves birds, but we don't know much
about their private lives" he told me.
Nor about those marvellous bird
migrations that carry tiny humming-
bird clear to South America and back
twice year.
Banding is helping to solve the
migration mystery. 1t is also useful in
keeping track of individual birds. One
bander thought that a certain pair of
wrens always nested year after year in
a box on his porch. He banded the
birds and found that in the course Of
season the wrens married. had affairs
with other birds, were reconciled,
divorced, mated with other wrens and
raised broods, and then remarked and
finally broke up for good

women. In each of these you will find
other young women with whom to
make friends, and who can tell you
something about where - and also
where not to - look for job.
Many experts believe that the best
introduction to business office is
letter written by the applicant.
Advice as to this letter can be brief:
Choose plain. conservative. good quail
ity paper. Type your letter and box
it neatly on the paper State in fewest
words what training you have had and
the kind of work you can do. If you are
granted an interview then be at the
Office promptly.
No matter what you are trying for,
a smart appearance is Of first import
ance. The quintessence Of smartness,
remember, is suitability. Simple clothes
are best. The very simple. well-cut.
tailored suit is the best investment a
girl who is looking for a job can make.
If the personnel director is man.
do not wear a freak hat and be sure
to wear good-looking shoes. Whether
the director is man or a woman. DO
not wear toeless sandals. Don't wear
your hair hanging down in too long
bob. Use just enough makeup to
accent good points or to overcome
blemishes. Be sure that your teeth and
nails are both beautifully cared for -
polish on your nails. of course, but not
deep red. and do not cut your nails into
sharp spikes.
Be sure that all your accessories are
in faultless order. Have perfectly
cared-for shoes. whole stockings, fresh
looking gloves, any neck trimming i'm
maculate. hair freshly washed. and an
expression that is alive and bright.
The chances are that a would-be
employer knows and accounts for the
ordeal which every applicant feels
when being ushered into his presence.
So to those who feel frightened, it
may be said that an applicant who
feels somewhat abashed makes bet
ter impression than one whose self
assurance verges on boldness.
The ideal impression is. Of course,
made by one who enters easily and un-
selfconsciously, with her attention
centered upon the face Of the man (or
the woman) at the desk. Nothing is so
appealing as combination of respon-
sive frankness with a CLINT of that
quality of intelligence that is INSOFAR
able from humor.
Among the traits to avoid, effort to
impress possible employer with the
grandeur of your own social back
ground is at the top of the list. The

4 HENEVER a very young
NV woman writes ME that she
w wants to get away from a
small town to win success (and earn
her living in great city par
ticularly New York or Hollywood -
my impulse is to answer DON'T! And
yet, if your venture can be financed by
your family, if moreover your making
use of a return ticket home will cause
YOU no loss of face. then perhaps you
will have much to gain.
Even should you fail, your return
home will be to greater contentment
than might have been possible had
you gone on dreaming of yourself as
business executive, or the bride of
millionaire, or (most disturbing of all
daydreams) a bright new star IN
Hollywood.
The picture, "a Star Is Born
where sweet simple honey" type of
girl wins fantastic success, has natural
ly made each career-longing young girl
imagine this heroine herself. More
over, knowing the story to be the true
one of its star, she thinks to herself:
'I'm as good-looking as she! Surely l
could act as we'll. She doesn't act!
She's just natural!'
Not thought does she give to those
parts of the picture that show hum
dreds of young girls who wait hour
after hour. day after day, for the call
that never comes from the casting
bureau.
How then, can l honestly advise
any girl to seek fame in Hollywood
or a career in New York, UNLESS she
knows exactly what she wants to do,
and how she is going to do it? More
over, she must have sufficient money
for her support until she is able to
earn it for herself So to you, who are
longing to go to Hollywood or to
New York, let me emphasize the fol-
lowing don'ts.
First of all, then, don't come to any
great city without having an especial
aptitude for a definite career. And
whatever you do, don't burn your
bridges behind you! To leave home
against your parents judgment, to
walk out with barely more than
enough money to get you there, is to
court disaster.
However, let us say that you have
reason to suppose you can do some
thing with more than average ability;
that you are coming with your
family's consent; and that you know
the hotel where you will stay. More
than likely you are going to one of the
clubs for business and professional

FASTING dean
HAS SERVICE
Observes Communion 18th
Day Without Food
Unfalteringly

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. IA
CUP)-The Very Rev. Israel H.
Noe. who has tasted y days to
prove man may live by spiritual
strength alone. Thursday officiat-
ed at the holy communion service
of St. Mary,s Episcopal Cathedral.
His voice was strong and reson-
ant as he read the service. He
lighted the candles without a fall
ter.
The Reverend Noe, dean of the
Cathedral, took communion, which
is bit of bread and y sip of wine.
II was the communion he takes
thrice weekly, and the only nour-
iShment ne has taken since Jan. 2,
Fourteen communicates knelt at
the altar during the service. They
noted only that the minister's
micn was serious. his eyes bright,
and his strength seemingly as
great as it was before his fast.
At the beginning Of the service.
Dean Noe quoted the verse:
IL beseech you therefore, breth-
rem, by the mercies of God, that
We present your bodies a living
sacrifice. holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable SER
vice"
Dean Noe has taken no nOurish-
ment, except that of holy COM
muniOn. for II days. For almost
a year before the absolute fast"
he had lived entirely on orange
juice. He has taken no food nor
water since February, 1887.
Dean Noe has lost weight dur
ing the past two weeks, but ply
sicians have expressed amaze
ment at his continued strength.
To the minister it is only proof
of his theory that "the human
body may survive entirely through
spiritual means and without ma
teriai aids"
81 hope to provide living
proof" Dean Noe explained, "of
the fact of immortality and that
man may live by spiritual food
alone. l have no doubt of the Ill
innate outcome"
He said he would continue to
conduct all services of the cathe-
dral and plans to deliver his usual
service Sunday.
