Getting a Job
On Your Looks

Knowing that she had virtual
ly no business experience to recon-
mend her, the smart jobhunting
graduate realizes that the success
of any interview she gets depends
entirely on the way she looks and
the way she answers questions.
She can offer no bushes ref
erences that will carry much
weight. simply because she hasn't
been working except possibly dur
ing summer vacations. She can
talk about her training in school,
but so can almost every other APP
plicant. Therefore, she is sure
and rightly so-that the impress
sion she creates in an interview
with prospective employer is all

He hung down the phone, and
spoke quickly to Jules.
"All right, Jules. Get ready to

five minutes ago. She went d.

came out again and walked to the
corner for a taxi. She'll be here
in a few minutes"
Vorhis pushed the table aside
and walking over to Ellen, put his
arm about her waist and raised
her to her feet. Jules had come
over from his corner, and stood
by. holding his gun in readiness.
Before Ellen realized what was
happening, Karl had replaced the
gag in her mouth and tied it about
the back of her head.

A study Of unhappily-married
couples and their history shows
that the tendency towards domes-
tic discord continues on through
the children and into their mar
riages.
1t has not yet been established
whether this tendency to repeat
the marriage experience of the
parents is due to the handing on
Of personal characteristics which
make for or initiate against
happy marriage adjustments-or
the example and training of har-
monious home influences perma-
nently the life Of the offspring. Or
it may be both.
The influence of parents does
not stop with preparation for per-
sonality adjustment in marriage.
The matter of parental sex educa-
ton is important.
One of the most perplexing prob
lens facing the parent is the ques-
ton Of raising boys and girls with
a wholesome, adequate under
standing of sex. The skill with
which this matter is handled may
be reflected later in adult happi-
ness.
In general, it Is wise to answer,
as they arise, all the questions
asked by the curious child. The
answers should be phrased simply
and in such way as not to arouse
further curiosity or stimulate the
imagination. In that way. the
parent does not strain the child's
understanding, or suggest there
are further mysteries to be ex-
plored.
1t is important, most child train
ing experts believe, that the facts
Of life should be explained (wher-
ever the growing demands of the
child make explanation necessary
in authentic. adult language.

child has asked for an explana-

Entirely appropriate for the
modern, streamlined kitchen is
furniture of tube steel finished
with a heavy. cleaning chrome
plating. Chair seats and backs

composite material that can be
washed with a mild soap and warm
water. Kitchen table tops are Of
either inlaid linoleum or stainless

newest tables have tops Of solid

mystery and unhealthy excitement
in which childish misconceptions
flourish.
The intelligent parent is ready
for the child's questions before
they are asked. (And some are
asked at an unbelievably early
age). There are sources of infor-
nation and advice open to the
parent. One of them is the book,

by Frances Strain. 1t is available
at most metropolitan libraries.

KNOWS CLOTHES
ARE IMPORTANT

Being sensible, in spite of her
youth and lack of experience, she
knows that a job-hunter should
wear dress and accessories
which are simple but at the same
time flattering.
She wouldn't make application,
for example, in a sweater and
skirt and golf shoes. That is, un-
less the opening happened to be
in college shop of a retail store.
Neither would she wear a dress
with transparent top and a petit
coat peeping from underneath the
hemline.
She knows that 1t is a mistake
to wear dangling, rafting brace
lets; eye makeup unless brows
and lashes are quite colorless or
unless mascara and eyeshadow
are applied so perfectly that the
man across the desk won't even
suspect; scarlet nail polish (be-
lieve it or not, there are those
who still object to dark lacquers);
an exaggeratedly short skirt;
shoes which look more like dane
ing pumps than street shoes; a
hat which definitely draws atten-
ton away from the face.
Furthermore, she realizes that,
in employment agencies, a pleas
ant voice and really excellent
posture are marked up on the plus
side of any application blank. So
are general tidiness and an ability
TO state name, age, education, ex-
perience and so on clearly, in well
constructed, but not stilted SEN

necessary.
But Currier said he had no in

Monday. called upon the few in
the audience to see if anyone else
had anything to say. Nobody re-

No. 7th Wednesday night in a
garage owned by Konnie Mech

An apparent attempt to steal
gasoline from the car parked in

fire. Both the car and garage
were damaged. A car left near
the scene was traced TO Yakima
and the youth was linked with the
case before his arrest there by
deputy sheriffs.
Members of the police depart
