USE LATHER
FOR SHAVING

If there's an electric razor in
your house, try borrowing it the
next time you want to do your
legs and underarms. Or get some
one to give you an electric razor
of your own. A safety razor does
the work quickly and thoroughly,
but be sure to lather the legs
before shaving. Dry shaving has
a tendency to make the legs look
slightly rough for a couple of days
afterward.
For travelling and for week-ends
(even though you use depilatory
the night before departure), there
are midget razors in tiny cases
with extra, midget-size blades.
Keep one of these in your over
night case.

GOOD TASTE
TODAY
BY EMILY POST

A little more frankness would
certainly have been the saving in
gredient Of the situation this letter
describes: II telephoned a friend
and said IL she and her husband
were not busy we would drive over
TO see them. She seemed enthusi-
astic and answered. oh. yes. do
come" When we turned into their
street. imagine our surprise at see
ing cars lined up thei. driveway
and the house ablaze with light.
There was no mistaking that a
party was in fun swing. Neither
my husband nor / was dressed to
go in. Moreover, we felt as though
we had invited ourselves to the
party. So we went to a nearby
drug store and l telephoned and
explained that something else had
turned up and we couldn't come
after all. Our question is, shouldn't
she have told me they were giving
party when I called the first
time, or at least said they were
busy"
In the first place, this hostess
was wrong to begin with. She
should either have said: mo, don't
come tonight because we're having
other people in, but can't you come
Thursday" Or else she should
have exclaimed, How nice! We're
having a party; do come too" In
which case you could then have
dressed for the party. In the Sec
ond place, you were wrong in word
ing your excuse when you tele-
phoned her from the drug store
wrong that is, if you might have
liked to go, because you left her
nothing else to say, and you may
unnecessarily have missed very
pleasant evening. Had you ex-
planned, I'VE got as far as the
street and saw you were giving a
party and we aren't dressed to
come in" then she might have
urged you to come, saying that
everyone was in street clothes or
that it had been surprise party
for John, or it might even be that
she had intended to surprise you
and hadn't thought about your
clothes.

Dear Miss Grey: have a young

and IL has occurred TO me that IL
more parents would prevent their
young hopefuls from being pains

months.
This girl feels that she il doing

She has her mother waiting on
her day and night. She takes the
car and no one else ever gets a
chance to Use II. She criticizes
the manners Of the other members,
yet her own are insolently bad.
She sleeps until noon every day
and does not even wash her own
stockings and silk under-clothes
Mother does that.
She has all the makings of a

When A Girl Wears A Mans
Fraternity Pin

IL Tor granted tndl sHe Is eh

Answer: believe that certain
pins do mean engagement. But
unless you know definitely whe-
Their that particular pin carries
this significance, my advice is to
wait until you are told further
news.
Naming A Baby For A Friend
Dear Mrs. Post: We will soon
have a new baby. If it is a girl I
would like to name her for a
friend, and wondered If I am sup
posed to ask the friends permits
sion first or just let it come as
surprise.
Answer: Since it is not likely
that you are naming your child for
someone who is not a very init
mate friend, you may certainly use
her first name without asking per-
mission unless the name is such
an unusual one that its origin is
unmistakable such names as
Minga, Ilante, Fora, for example.
You shouldn't Of course, give the
child your friends full name with
out first asking her consent and
being sure of course that it will
be gladly given.
! In Mourning for an In-law
/ Dear Mrs. Post: Is it good taste
to wear mourning for mother-in-
law?
Answer: If her husband goes
into mourning-that is. wears a
black suit, black tie and mourn
ing band on his coat-then she
too should wear black dresses Tor
all white in summer) and mourn
ing band on her coat. But If a
husband goes around wearing col
ored ties and tweeds, then his wife
might put him in the wrong light
if she went into mourning. If
neither goes into mourning, it will
simply suggest that neither one

not been needed. certain unscrupulous
commercial aviation schools have been
making hay Out of more than 300
commercial schools, only forty-nine
are recognized by the C.A.A. as giving
adequate training. CTheir names may
be obtained by writing to the Civil
Aeronautics Authority. Washington.
D. c. If a student intends to enroll in
a school which is not approved. the
C.A.A. recommends that he first make
careful investigation of its facilities
and reputation. It's known fact that
certain schools are turning out thou
sands of poorly qualified graduates
each year, most of whom don't have
ghost of chance of finding the type of
job they've paid their hard-earned
cash to prepare for.
The situation has become so serious
that five leading plane manufacturers
in Southern California recently issued
a Joint statement on the subject, which
says:
%. There is no current need on
the part of the industry for aviation
schools of the job-training type
schools that give short training
courses, usually lasting from six weeks
to three monthsl and [wel anticipate
no further need for them.

enced workmen may find themselves
jobless, to say nothing Of neophytes
now trying to break into the field.
One significant illustration of avia-
tons soaring popularity amongyouths
was the wild-fre response to the Civil
Aeronautics Authority's announce
ment last year that 10000 young peo-
pie would be taught to fly during 1910.
Swomped With Applicants
ALTHOUGH each young man who quail
flied was required to put up $40 of his
own money, the 437 colleges and
seventy-five non-College stations where
applications were received soon re-
ported they we're swamped with more
than $1,000 applicants. One university
received 1000 applications for quota
of thirty places!
The results were especially startling
among young men who had not been
to college. At least 10000 applicants
registered to take ground courses that
would entitle them to compete for 700
places in the flying course. And they
had been told beforehand that quota
limitations made it certain that ninety
three per cent of them must fail!

port branches together, employs fewer
than 100000 persons, less than the
present number of street and railroad
conductors. This probably represents,
however, at least 200 per cent in
crease in the last few years, largely in
the manufacturing branch.

fewer than the number of male libra
rians. There are some 45O airline
hostesses. Many more women find jobs
as detectives.
3. Except for the enormous employ
ment squirt during recent months, nor
NAL growth in the industry has been
about ten per cent a year. Another
two per cent of vacancies can be al
lowed for turnover - persons who
leave their jobs, creating openings for
newcomers. At the outside, this means
that there are not more than 5000
jobs available for new people in any
one year. In comparison, American
railroads, now very poor field for
employment, hire about six times as
many people annually.
4. A large part of the employment
increase in aviation during the last
few months can be attributed to for

exceptions of graduate engineers and
skilled craftsmen, there is an abun-
dant local labor supply 1T is be-
lieved by the industry that should
future emergency again require exten-
sive hiring, the companies could ana
would conduct their own training pro-
gram with greater effectiveness and at
less cost to the students than
private schools"
And mind you. this statement was
issued at precisely the time OF the
industry's greatest boom.
Some Jobs Available
lHIs looks like a pretty bleak pic
ture, doesn't it? The true situation,
fortunately. isn't quite that bad. There
are quite a number of good jobs avail
able for youths who have the proper
technical training Aeronautical en-
gineers, for example, are in active
demand right now. New York Univer-
sity and several other colleges repFt
that they expect their Class of 1910 to
be placed to the last man before
Graduation Day.
And several large plane manufac-
turers, queried recently, stated that
there is definitely shortage of skilled
craftsmen, especially in the machiniss
and toolmaking trades, both wood and
metal, and in sheet-metalwork."
1t is important to note that nearly
all of these jobs require years OF tech
nical training. Most of the craftsmen
needed today must go through four
year apprenticeship, and the skills
they learn enable them to qualify for
good jobs in many other industries
besides aviation. The aeronautical en-
gineer must have four years of inten-
sive college training, and frequently
some additional graduate work, before
he can qualify for an industrial avia-'
ton job.
In aviation, as in most other fields,
the trained specialist is rapidly replac-
ing the hitchhiking careerist. And here,
as elsewhere, the young people who
are finding the latchstrings out on en-
ployers' doors are those who inves-
tigated job needs before knocking. =.

CHIS IS the ttUetth tn an important
THIS WEEK series of articles on You
and Your Job, writen by an expert
employment analyst.
u MERIcAN aviation is headed for
A the stratosphere this year. The
4 = industry is now in the midst of
the greatest expansion program it has
ever known.
The satisfying rustic of purchase
orders from hard-pressed European
belligerents, the Army Navy drive for
better aerial defense, and the impress
sive year-long safety record of our
Commercial air lines are all bringing
broad grins to the faces of busy air
plane executives and husky pay checks
to their workmen.
These well-publicized facts are put
ting new career ideas into the heads of
thousands of young people. According
to scores of letters that come over my
desk every week, aviation right now is
about the most popular occupation in
the country,
Isn't aviation an exciting and we'll
paid business?" these letters ask. Isn't
it one of Americas fastest-growing in
dustries?
Doesn't it offer endless possibilities
for future development? Aren't there
real opportunities for properly trained
young people?"
The answer to all these questions,
and to many Others like them. is
definitely yes. But the answer to the
next question, which so many youths
are also asking - Wouldn't this be
great field for me to get into?" - un-
fortunately can't be answered so easily.
In fact, the answer is usually no.
Too Popular
AVIATION is prime example OF what
happens to any occupation when it
becomes too popular. Eager career
chasers have flocked to it like bettors
to a winning horse. So many hopefuls
have laid bets on aviation's nose re-
Gently that the occupational odds have
been squeezed down to prohibitive
levels.
Here are some of the more pertinent
employment facts about aviation to-
day:
