For many years, census-taking in the United States has been
called "door-bel ringing" Now, with head counts going on in

@ PAYOLA HEARINGS-The congressional investigation into
the disk jockey business is producing a new lexicon for the fast
talking set who want to appear to be in the know.
Payola is an old Broadway show business word, but it's been
taken over by the TV-radio business and has now become uni
versany accepted as meaning a kind of un-earned, underline
table payment to someone who is selling something he doesn't
own-namely time on the air.
AS the hearings progress, other picturesque words creep into
the record. Exposure" was a term long used by insurance and
other statesmen to describe their contact work with prospective
customers. To the disk jockeys it means playing a record over
and over again to boost its sales.
"Breakout market" is q term used to describe a metropolitan
area which sets the popular music taste for the rest of the coun-
try. If a record is a hit in New York, it's pretty certain to sell
well across the country.
Bombed record is one which fails to sell-a FLOP" in old
show business parlance.
Some of the bright talk is slated to become a part of the
American" language, as payoa already has.
% PASSPORT NEW LOOK-The green-covered u. S. passport
which has remained unchanged for decades is about to get a
new look. And, with 733, 900 of them issued last
year, it's about time, says Frances Knight, direc- Passports

The green cover will be replaced, probably by New Look
a plastic cover that is more durable and easier
to handle. Size will be cut from 6A by 80 inches to the more
compact 5h by 81. The interior of the document will also be
streamlned.
One change probably will be to place the picture and descrip.
ton pages opposite each other for easier and speedier identi-
fication.
Mrs. Knight hopes to have the new style passports ready for
this summers vacation rush.

BY CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.

PRACTICALLY every youth
wishing to enter college must
take an aptitude test.
A few weeks or months be-
fore doing so, some applicants
will frantically try to get ready
for this, even employing some
one to coach them. But studies
of the effect Of such coaching
indicate 1t is fruitless.
Can't Learn Overnight
Aptitude tests for college en-
trance are practically coaching
proof. True, they are heavily
loaded with questions On .vocab-
ulary. Yet examining on long
lists of words can hardly prove
useful. One gains a vocabulary
from wide, useful reading over
a number of years, and from
mingling with other persons
who have rich vocabularies.
The way to prepare a child
for an aptitude test is to begin
with him in early childhood in
a home with parents who speak
English clearly and accurately
and enrich their own vocabulary
from constant reading; by read
ing constantly to him from the
time he is two or three years
old and continuously thereafter;
by finding ways to help him
learn to read we'll and to stimu-
late him to read for pleasure
while he goes to school. q
Good HOme-Study Habits
You prepare him by finding
ways to help him cultivate good
home-study habits, going at his
homework regularly and stick
ing to it faithfully and persist
emily. In short, by helping him
at home as much as possible to
succeed in book learning at
school.
OF course not. all children
have the ability to do well al

school learning even under the
most favorable home and school
influences. Yet practically all
children could be guided and
helped to achieve far more
learning than they do achieve.
Ever SO many children with
average or superior ability to
learn, who otherwise would
never be able to pass an apti-
tude test for college entrance,
could pass the test with flying
colors il they were given ade-
quate home guidance.
Needs Constant Guidance
What we parents, eager for
our child to enter college, need
to remember is that for him
to do so he needs the best pos
sible guidance and education in
all his years from infancy. He
needs most of all to learn to
read well; to read and read
more and more as he goes
through the grades and high
school and practices without
ceasing in good habits of men
tai work. There is no magic or
royal road to learning.

CONSCIENCE FUND

The Internal Revenue Service
says errant taxpayers who make
anonymous contributions to the
agency's conscience fund" will be
credited with the payments if tax
agents ever catch up with them.
In response to an enquiry, Off

ment to the fund is carefully pre-
served for this purpose.
Conscience fund is the informal
name given to an IRIS account
which receives contributions from
taxpayers who have cheated Uncle
Sam and want to settle their debt
without revealing their identity
The fund collects about $4,000 &

 When the fall of Bataan became imminent, the radio unit evacuated to Corregidor. the famous Rock where General Skinny Vain wright and his men fought for five grim, hopeless months. In that last ditch stand against the inva- ders of the Phillipines, Corregidor was bombed, wciously shelled, starved, finally pounded into sub- mission. The gallant defenders surrendered on May 6. 1922.
 We lived in tunnels on Cor regidor though some men were in fox holes. I was 100 and some feet underground in a hill where we had set up the Navy radio trans mitters.
