 the circus. But the radio took over the medicine show business and Joe didn't have, the voice for it. or rather he had too much voice. And the tent show he was with went blooey in Tacoma 15 years ago.
 Jot hit Hollywood with the light of conquest in his eye, but no hopes of crashing pictures in his heart. He just knew where the suckers were, that was all.
 With the circus" he recalls, "I found out that the best fishing holes for suckers in the country are Broadway and Hollywood"
 So Joe set up in business with sightseeing bus-and, he insists, this bus attracted almost as many local residents as it did tourists. LOVED HIS WORK Gradually Joe came to love hiS work. He derived personal satas- faction out of showing his pop-eyed customers the luxurious estates Of the motion picture greats, with their swimming pools, canoe races hanging gardens, golf courses and tennis courts.
 We'll, it wasn't just the war that moved in on Joe. His business graph started felling gradually some years ago, and the way he has 1t figured, this was due to a new crop of stars. "They ain't got the show manship the old ones had" Joe says.
 One byone, the old. great es- tates were to let. The hanging gar- dens and private golf courses dis appeared.
 Then came the war. Stars were shedding mansions faster than Henry Kaiser could build Liberty ships. Taxes, the servant problem. The wilderness began to reclaim Beverly Hills. All the maids and cooks and handy men joined the gold rush to Lockheed and Doug las.
 SHOW US COLBERT
 Naturally, people kept aslxins where certain particular stars lived their favorites. Like Claudetse, for instance" Joe has never really met any of his merchandise. but from sheer affection he calls many of the better articles, like Ciaudette Colbert, by their first names.
 "Claudette has gone and closed up her place in Holmby Hills." He shook his head. ''I'd be ashamed to tell 'em where she'd moved t0. Know where?" Joe paused to shoot a contemptous stream of tObaccu juice from his lips. "In an apark- ment."
 "So-o-o,' Joe shrugged. 1I just fadda go out of business. For one thing, there was the rubber situa- tion. No tires. But I ain't kickinl Everybody's in the same boat. ain't they? An besides, I still got my health"

than Hartford, Conn. After them in the curious toe-out walk that ballet people call first position" came Robbins.
 As typical American ballet star he said he developed taste for ballet when the old cumbersome technique was let out to pasture and vitamins were added to the rigid classics.
 Its really an exciting profession now" he said, ''in spite of the hard work-I think the hardest in all show business. I had to take lessons con- tinually and practice endless, some times painful, hours before could rate. I earned money for lessons scrubbing the studio floor and run ming the elevator. But it was worth | it."

Application Blanks
For EnIisting WAVES
Go OUT Today
Typists, Stenoerophers
And Radio Personnel
Among Glasses Sought

Healthy young women ranging
from typists and stenographers to
university graduates with doctorates
In electronics and molecular radia-
ton are now eagerly sought by the
WAVES administration.
According to 1t. Elizabeth REWARD
assistant director in charge of train
ing, the immediate need of the
Womens Reserve of the United
States Naval Reserve is for:
Six hundred enlisted personnel to
train as yeomen (clerks) at the
University of Indiana.
-Four hundred and seventy per-
sonnel to train as radiomen at the
University of Wisconsin. and
Three hundred candidates for COM
missions as technical officers, who
after indoctrination at the WAVES
school at Smith College will take
intensive and highly specialized
science courses at various univers-
ities throughout the country.
Blanks Go Out Today.
Application blanks for WAVES
enlisted personnel will be mailed out
today for the first time. Thirty
three offices of Naval Officer Pro-
curement detailed to accept written
applications already have received
by mail thousands of inquiries from
women desiring to enlist. Some of
these applications are eliminated i'm
mediately in the first round because
of disqualiflcations of age, citizenship
or education.
Candidates for enlistment must
be over 20 and under Sc years of
age, have no children under Is, be
OF good repute in their community.
meet physical qualifications of good
health, and be high school graduates
or business school graduates with
enough experience to be equivalent
to a high school education. The
minimum height standard is 5 feet
and minimum weight Is 95 pounds.
Altogether 1,070 enlisted personnel
for the training centers at the Uni
versities of Wisconsin and Indiana
must be selected, indicted and dis
patched there by October 9. Some
500 enlisted women will be trained

conditions are most dif1cult," 1t.
Reynard said. "We know it's hard
to get good stenographers and typ
lists, but we will try to get the best
clerical material possible"
Indoctrination Course.
After four to six weeks indoctri-
nation, they will study naval admin
istration and the organization of
shore establishments. They also
may take a shorthand course. be-
cause we cannot hope to receive
finished stenographers in sufficient
number" she continued.
The girls also will be trained in
the highly specialized securities
problem" involving twin elements of
secrecy and the correct routing OF
radio messages. Erroneous rout-
ing of important orders, 1t Rey-
nard points out, may cause loss of
lives because it may reveal details
of strategy or the order may not
reach its ultimate destination IN
time for appropriate action.
Especially desired for enlistment
in the WAVES are women who have
special knowledge in civilian life
in any of the following fields: Gen.
eral clerks. secretaries, stenogra-
pliers, duplicating machine oper-
ators, typists, file clerks. bookkeepers,
warehouse clerks, stock clerks, ra-
dio operators, teletype operators,
simplex and multiplex operators.
Pay Depends on Rating.
At the conclusion of their train
ing pay for enlisted women will de-
pend on the rating they obtain.
The base pay scale for the enlisted
personnel ranges from apprentice
seaman at $50 month to $13S
month for chief petty officer, perma-
nent appointment. Yeomen and
radiomen rate as petty officers. The
pay for a yeoman, third class, is
$78 month plus $125 rental al
loWance perday and $1.50 food al
lowance per day for those who live
outside naval facilities, as most en-
listed women probably will do.
Thus, a yeoman, third class, would
receive $160.50 a month in base pay
and allowances for a 30-day month.
Navy etiquette, as decreed by the
Bureau of Personnel, does not in
clude the sufflx woman" for female
personnel. A woman reservist is.
therefore, known as a radioman. a
yeoman or an apprentice seaman
and any other appellation is strictly
out of order. Officially the naval
high command remains completely
oblivious of the female gender.
The WAVES administration hopes
to have 300 candidates for COM
missions as technical officers among
the 1900 officer candidates at Smith
College and Mount Holyoke College
early next month.
