Aptitude Tests Aid Women to Find Right Job

AS the need for woman power In
industry grows more acute many
more women will patriotically take
their places on the assembly line.
Among them will be women to whom
factory work is strange, who do not
know what work they can do best
because they are without experience.
Must they take the chance of
spending weeks in training only to
find they are unhappy in the work2
Has some way been devised for their
aptitude to be determined in ad-
vance? These are questions they
are asking, for already too many
women have been trained. and then
have left the job when they found
themselves unsuited to it. The re-
suit has been high labor turnover
which In wartime, with a great pro-
duction schedule to be met, is both
a liability and a menace to the ma
tional war effort.
Therefore, women going into fac
tory work are encouraged to take
job tests to check their aptitude for
the work they are planning to do.
Psychologists have spent many years
perfecting these tests which help
greatly in fitting the round peg into
the round hole. One New York
group (the Psychological Corp
working as consulting specialists
with many industries, found in one
war industry that labor turnover, as
a result of these "in advance Of en-
ployment" tests and improved inter-
view procedures was cut one-third.
A low labor turnover is q tremen-
dously important factor in keeping
up our production schedule.
Women, particularly if they have
been out of school for some time,
naturally shy away from tests.
Younger women, accustomed to these
forms Of measuring achievements
and potentialities from their recent
school years, cooperate willingly.
Women, therefore, must know what
these tests are intended to do and
how they are to help them find their
right job. The score recorded on
tests do not measure the chances
Of the applicant for getting the job,
but instead make it possible to place
her in the spot where she can do
her best work. Tests may reveal
that her skills equip her for better
job than the one for which she
applied.
To take q sample of the applicants S
performance in scientifically
standardized situation and to COM
pare it with that of a group of en-
ployes whose skill has been proved
by successful performance is the
basic principles of testing. From
this comparison it becomes possible
to predict with an important degree
of accuracy the applicants ability to
acquire successfully the skills needed
for an occupation.
In many Of the United States EN-
ployment Service of1ces, as in the
st. Louis ONCE, q trade test, in addi-
ton to the aptitude test, is available
Trade tests are q measure of an in
dividual's acquired skill or knowl-

Leftover Tongue

or two later, take the leftover
end and cut the meat into quar-
ter-inch cubes.
Dice as many cups Of raw po-
tatoes as you have cups of tongue.
Dice, also, a tablespoonful OF
onion for each cup of tongue.

boiling water to just cover. Sea-
son with salt and pepper and a
few pinches of marjoram. CYour

Too many of the women who go
stockingless during the summer also
dispense with their foundation gar
ments. Their main point of argu-
ment has been that the girdle will
not stay in place if they don't wear
stockings as an anchor. This sea-
son several of the stores placed in
stock a supply of specially designed
anchors" to eliminate that argu-
ment. These greatly resemble
stocking tops, are knitted Of rayon

Dear Miss NOVEL;: Do you know
what can be used to prevent the
sickness which has made my rub
ber-covered dish drainer almost un.
usable? L.C.B.
Answer-You might flnd that one
Of the rubber preservatives which
are now on the market might do the
trick. They were manufactured to
prevent deterioration Of rubber hose,
tires, etc. Next to that. it would be
necessary to remove the rubber with
a rubber solvent and use the drainer
with the metal part exposed.

Decorating Suggestions

Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have an old
house with two flights Of stairs
which get constant use. The treads
are very badly worn, and ordinary
cleaning does not seem to help their
appearance. No matter how much
we oil and wax them the soft wood
gets worn down in a few months so
that it shows the lighter wood un-
derneath. I know that . carpet or
rubber treads would help to prevent
wear, but we prefer the wood steps.
Have you any suggestion that would
improve the unkempt appearance OF
the hallway? This will have to be
something that We can do ourselves.
X. N. c.
Answer-The simplest remedy
would be . mild stain which would
restore the color Of the wood. Get
an oil stain At the paint store
which matches, as closely as pos
sible, the color on the unworn part
of the stair. Put . small amount Of
the stain in . can and dilute it with
turpentine. Be sure that it is not
too dark As the soft wood will ab-
sorb . good bit Of the color. Paint
this on with . clean paint brush. It
will make the wood look fresh and
new. After a hours you may wax
the treads which will help keep the
color intact. This is no more difncult
than washing the stairs and may be
repeated at any time the worn spots
reappear.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: There Is an
alcove on our living room which Is
too small for anything more than q
tiny desk or = reading chair. The
long, narrow ugly window in this
alcove is OF center which makes
the corner even more difficult to
arrange. Can you suggest any way
that we could utilize this spot, with
some wall and window arrangement
that would be attractive, or some
special use that would make it i'm
portant? g. r.
Answer-Bookcases do more than
any other item to make q wall in
teresting. The color and pattern of
rows Of books are decorations in
themselves. If the window is un-
usually long you might place 4
window box or an aquarium at the
base Of 1t for color interest. This
spot might be furnished with 4 desk
as . writing and book corner, or as
= reading corner with . deep chair
and Ottoman and 4 good reading
light. Or it could be . music corner

edge in a given occupation. The
United States Employment Service
uses three types of these tests-per-
formance test, picture trade test and
oral trade test.
Tests are intended to supplement
rather than to supplant the costom-
ary interview and to provide an OBJ
jective measure of the applicants s
potentiality in acquiring skill to per-
form a given job. The interview,
properly set up, can help in reveal
ing aptitudes.
To do just that. the Psychological
Corp. has recently made available
to industrial concerns an employe
evaluation form for interviewers.
This form is designed to show not
only the applicants previous work
experience, but her social habits, ap-
pearance, training, capacity for
leadership and maturity of emo
tions. When a competent person
weighs all these factors against the
requirements of the job for which

the applicant is applying, it is then
possible to place her where she can
do the best work.
In most cities where there has
been a concentration Of war indus
tres, workers are usually drawn from
the files of the United States EN-
ployment Service. Although tho
urgent demand for women workers
has forced the st. Louis ONCE to
relax its test requirements, it is still
set up, just as are other United
States Employment Service ofllces,
to give the eager applicant thor
ough interview 50 that she can be
referred to the type of job she can
fill most capably. Some industries,
in addition, have trained interview
ers on their staff to administer spe-
cially prepared tests for that partic-
ular industry.
Generally, the tests are very SIM
pie. There are few manipulation
tests and great many paper and

Hankin Urges Pepeo
Cut Working Capital
To Reduce Rates
Demands Neal Produce
Figures on BiII-Poying
Practices of Customers

Reduction Of the cash working
capital allowed as a part Of tho
rate base of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. is suggested by Gregory
Hankin. minority member of the
Public Utilities Commission. as one
means Of getting more of a con-
sumner rate out this year than indi-
Gated by traditional sliding-s scale
practices.
AT this mornings session. MI
Hankin continued the same line Of
attack. eXhaustively questioning
Pepco President A. G. Neal as to
credits for materials and supplies
in the rate base
Mr.. Hankin hammered away or
TINS line for about an hour at the
rate hearings before the PUG YES
terday while questioning Mr.. Neal
He demanded to know. for one thing
just how long the average customer
took to pay his electric bills. as A
measure of how much cash worklno
capital the company should be al
lowed.
Sees Study Needed.
Mr.. Neal said he did not know
that study would be necessary and
that if this included the bill-pavino
habltS OF all OF the companys 200
600 customers. it would entail at
least two months of work. Some
PUG officials had hoped to end the
hearings within a few davs.
He agreed to have company en-
ployes to make up a 10 per cent
sample involving 10000 custom
ers payments. The company con-
troller, Harold G. Hayden. said night
work would be necessary because of
the manpoWer situation.
Night work is a very good thing"
retorted Mr.. Hankin.
Mr.. Hankin had threatened tn
oppose any allowance for cash work
ing capital unless Mr.. Neal could
produce facts" to show the need
OF such sum. The company had
entered q claim for an allowance of
Sl'l56,954 for this purpose for the
past year.
Insists on Figures.
Mr., Neal offered reports showing
the blll-paying practices of Govern
ment customers, but Mr.. Hankin
dld not want that. He insisted on
hgures for private customers.

planed that customer meters are
read once month, that five or six

that the private customer is given
