Woman's
World
By Nellie c. Jones
The ~Statistician

For women with a flair for fig
ures, a new and extremely inter
esting field has made it's appear
ance during the past decade-the
statistical field. For more than a
century men have been employed
as statisticians, for insurance
companies, banks, and govern
ment bureaus. But in recent years
this field has had a tremendous
expansion and many women have
jojijned the ranks of statisticians.
At the turn of the century,
only insurance companies gather
ed statistics as a guide for plan
ming their business operations. To-
day, surveys r made by large
advertising agencies, research or
CARNATIONS, educational and well
fare institutions, government bu-
reaus and many types of private
business. Furthermore, a great
variety of surveys are made for
a variety of purposes.
Statistics on the number Of jars
of cold cream sold, etc., on pedes-
train traffic at certain important
thoroughfares of metropolitan
cities, on world supplies of ore,
oil cotton, wheat, etc., on the
growth and decline of cities in
the United States, these are just
a few of the statistical studies
that are made.
The trends in buying as we'll as
the trends in political entusiams
are charted by various organiza-
tons.
There is nothing dry or dull
about the work of a statistician
beyond the labor of collecting
data, and even this work has its
dramatic side.
Sometimes statistics of a GER
tain kind are hard to locate, and
when obtained must be checked
by every means possible for &C
curacy. Who made the survey in
question? Can it be trusted?
The actual manipulation of fig
ures is almost the least important
part of the work of the statisti-
clan, though skill is required.

Dayton Medical Society
Takes Slap at Jim Crow

A severe rebuke was admins
tered to Jim crow this week by
the Montgomery County Medical
society (MCMS). The open prac-
TONERS of racial discrimination,
two Of Dayton's Country clubs
the Dayton Country club and the
Miami Valley Country club-were
the target of vigorous protests
from the Mems.
The society had planned it's an
nual spring golf tournament and
a spring dinner. One of the VITO
country clubs was to have been
the cite Of the affairs. After re-
quests for reservations for the
golf meet and dinner had been
made, the two clubs refused to
permit the use of their facilities
when they learned there were Ne
gro mmbers of the socity. PERMITS
sion would have been granted if
Negro members had been ex-
Guided.
The Mems refused the use Of
the facilities of the two clubs I'M
der those conditions and promptly
changed it's plans to a dinner at a
downtown hotel. The golf tourna-
ment was cancelled. The society
has 10 membership barriers on the
basis of race or religion. Member
ship is based solely on whether or
not the applicants meet the re-
quirements of ability and char
acter.
The society is taking so strong
a position on this matter that let
tiers are being prepared to be
transmitted to each of the coun-
try clubs involved protesting the
discrimination.
The action of the Mems is a
sudden and unexpected departure
from the normal course followed
by most local organizations, of a
professional or social nature.
The usual procedure for a To-
cal group or institution when con-
fronted with a situation similar
to that the society laced is to in
form the Negro members that 1--WE

how it is" Dayton university, a
religious institution, for example,
always left Benny oJnes on the
bench whenever opposing institu-
tons opposed his appearance on
the basketball floor. But not so,
for the MEMS.
Perhaps the most striking thing
about it is that generally, in other
areas, the medical professional
groups are generally the most
faithful in kneeling at Jim crows
shrine.
For taking such a fortnight
stand, for refusing themselves the
pleasures Of golfing, for placing
principle above all else, the Mont
gomery County Medical society
is to be heaped with accolades.
We should all drop them a note
of congratulations. E

"Now, before schools close, is
the time to make plans for the
legal employment Of school boys
and girls" they said. "By acting
in advance, employers a assure
themselves that boys and girls
properly employed can stay on one
job all summer
For the general guidance of
employers and parents, they Of
fered the following suggestions:
1. Advise young workers to get
age and schooling certificates,
sometimes known as work per-
mits, because under state and fed
eral law, such certificates are con-
sidered proof of age and protect
employers against unwilling vio-
lations. They r compulsory un-
der Ohio law. These certificates
may be obtained from school sup
erintendents in towns and cities
and from county superintendent
elsewhere.
2. Determine the minimum age
at which employment is permit
ted in given jobs and occupations.
Full information regarding these
minimum ages under seate law
may be obtained by writing the
Ohio department of Industrial
Relations, Columbus, and under
federal laws from the Wage and
Hour and Public Contracts divis-
ion, 4237 Main post office build
ing, Cleveland.

ment of a minor under 16 in an
occupation dangerous to life and
limb, or injuries to the health or
morals of such child" The depart
ment of Industrial Relations lists
Sc occupations denied to minors
under 16.
In addition, there are 26 listed
occupations which are prohibited
by Ohio law for minors under 18.
Boys between 16 and 18 years
of age and girls between 16 and
Fl may not be employed for more
than 8 hours a day, not more than

der 18 may not be employed be-
tween 500 p. M, and 1900 a. m.
boys 16 to 10 and girls 10 to 81
may not be employed between 10
p. m. and 6 a. m
Summing up federal child labor
laws, Singley emphasized that the
minimum age for employment un-

generally is 16. The minimum
