The Securities Commission refused
yesterday to permit the Standard
Power g. Light Corp. to acquire 8,700
shares of the common stock of San

N. Williams, who at 16 swung a
pick and shovel with a railroad gang
and "a years later became head OF
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co.
For the second time in decade
the big wire company reached into
the railroad field for president.

Williams was born in Denver SO
years ago. In the course of his long
railroad career he took time out
to gain diploma from the Sheffield
Scientific School of Yale University
and there was also brief interlude
of work in the petroleum industry

The biographical sketch released
by Western Union with the an
nouncement of his election said
Williams began his business career
as a rodman on the Denver IL Salt
Lake Railroad williams, however,
in press conference after the
Western Union board meeting said
he started on the line handling a
pick and shovel and got to learn
most of the angles of the railroad
business"
The new executive carries a large
supply Of energy within his medium
but compact frame and by nature
he leans toward the informal side
in relations with associates. His
eyes, behind metal trimmed spec
tacles. suggest good deal of af-
liability. His dark hair is only a
little touched with gray at the
temples. His friends rate him as
good story teller.
Important railroad Jobs held bv
Williams before he Joined the Lehigh
Valley in 1889 included the presi-
dency of the Belt Railway of Chi
cago. His association with this
property started in 1882 and he was
credited with working out the mod
ernization program which was the
basis for the present rapid system
of freight delivery in the Chicago
area. He was also connected with
the Midland Valley Railroad.
Sees Big Opportunity.
Williams was enthusiastic over the
opportunity to do good job in
the communications field.
After all, the railroads and COM
munlcations companies are coordi-
nate branches of industry" he said.
The roads transport goods and the
wire companies transmit words-in-
telligence. And development Of good
policies of public relations is equally
important in both"
Williams asked to be excused from
any comment on such matters as the
tentative proposal for a oonsolida- =
ton of the Western Union and the
Postal Telegraph Co.

Graduates Find Jobs.

The ease with which college grad
yates are finding Jobs this year is
reminiscent of the rip-roarins late
twenties. The principal difference
is a trend away from white collar
Jobs to the production line, college
placement directors say. Maybe it
reflects a healthy revision in the
average college graduates attitude.
On the other hand. it may merely
show that the production field is
where the best jobs and the most
money are today for the man fresh
out of college.
Even undergraduate looking for
temporary summer employment are
finding it on defense production
lines. The need for men is so acute
in some areas that companies are
taking them on even q temporary
basis at wages which would make

]. Always shave against the

rubbing your face with your fingers
for the feel Of It. Hold the skin

with your razor.
2. Do not lift the chin UP when
shaving beneath 1t. Hold II at nor.
NAL elevation. On the throat the
hair generally runs down towards
the Adams apple, so shave toward
1t there. WI
3. For q second going over. rub
the palms OF the hands vigorously
over the face. This makes the hair
stand UP for extra close cutting.
4. Use steady short back and
forth strokes.
5. Pun out the cheeks and stick
out the tongue under the lips when
shaving them.
The business Is now split UP
among o few big concerns. It
