Young has called munications as a career. As a specialist you will need tech- nical ability and considerable training, the latter generally including a college course. As a generalist, with a broad knowledge of the problems of the busi- ness and the vision to anticipate and meet them, you will need a background of education which will equip you to get on with and to manage people. Because the art communications knows no bounds—is cosmopolitan— communications men, to get to the van in the future should be cosmopolitans, with the ability to speak several lan- guages and having a thorough knowl- edge of world affairs. American prosperity, as I see it, de- pends on the sale of surplus products. While some of these will continue to go to Europe, the Far East and the South are our great fields, and we have to continue to hold our own in both places. In international communi- cations, if you are to do any special- izing, it should be in the languages. You will ind a_knowledge of Spanish especially helpful. Likewise, you should know economic conditions and the hab- its and customs of people in other lands. $1,500 to $2,000 as Starter. You can begin your career in the communications fleld at a salary of from $1,500 to $2,000 a year if you are qualified by training and education to enter one of the specialist departments. From there you can change to other work once you have mastered your own and in time become a generalist with a broad knowledge of the business as S Tt n these days of gigantic enterprise abllity of high order is needed to rx:nn- age affairs, and this ability you may develop only by hard work and inten- sive training, plus a faculty for abe sorbing the lessons of experience.

The resolution opposing establishment of a Pederal department of education in the President’s cabinet, after de- claring that the federation recognizes “the inviolable rights of the individual States,” and expressing general oppo- sition to the establishment of such a department, declared: “Such legislation is paternalism and bureaucratic and can lead only to the undue capitalization of racial and re- ligious prejudices for political purposes. It is opposed to the representative form of government guaranteed by the Con- stitution.” Proposal Is Condemned. Adoption of this resolution came after an address on “Federalizing Edu- cation” by Charles N. Lischka, pro- fessor of education of Georgetown Uni- versity, in which he severely condemned the proposal for the establishment of # Pederal educational department. The federation adopted a resolution proposing that the federation sponsor “retreats,” or religious worships, in line with “Catholic action,” urged by Pope Pius XL Other resolutions included one favoring adoption of legislation to make “The Star Spangled Banner” the National anthem and another approv- ing creation of the commission to ar- range for a fitting observance of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George hington. ‘Wasl Amo other speakers at meetings of the federation yesterday were Wil- fred B.

Each new tally on the 1930 census, now more than three-fourths completed, brings reapportionment closer to those newly-populous sections termed. by the [ House census committee the 15,000,000 people without fair and equitable rep- resentation. That committee estimated the 1932 post-reapportionment elections will wit= ness additions to 11 State delegations, subtractions from 17—a considerable chay in the complexion of Congress. California, the chief gainer, will be entitled to six additional Representa- tives by the census committee’s advance calculations, while Michigan would get four and Ohio three. Representative Crail, Republican, California, and Rep- resentative Hudson, Republican, Mich- igan, lay claims to the “most populous district” title, each representing about 1,500,000 people on a 1910 ratio of 211,877 persons per representative, and a probable 1930 ratio of 280,780. Con- stituencies of a half million have been taken for granted in Lower California, Detroit and its environs, and in Day- ton and Toledo, Ohio. Situation Unprecedented. ‘This sjfuation, characterized as “un- precedented in history” by the census committee when it re] the reap- portionment bill, arose from failure to Teapportion on the basis of the 1920 census. Representative Crail advanced the opinion that the City of Los Angeles would simply cut his district into five parts and that of Representative Evans, Republican, California, into four. Crail optimistically estimated that California might get at least 11 new Congressmen, instead of the estimated six. ‘The Michigan delegation looks for- ward to & bitter political fight over re- apportionment, which may even result in a system of added Congressmen at large. Trend Toward Cities. ‘The Michigan trend of population in the 20 years has been toward the cities, and southward. The rural dis- tricts, fighting to retain their repre- sentation, are expected to make re- apportionment a campaign issue. ‘One curious result of the reapportion- ment will be the division of power in Arizona, single representative State, which will gain a second. Representa~ tive Douglas, Democrat, who has covered 21,000 miles in his campaigns and who has consulted with himself and caucused with himself, will hereafter share with another. Four solo States remain, Nevada, New Mexico, Deiaware and Wyoming, unless the 1930 census does something unex- pected in those localities. Other States are expected to gain as follows; Connecticut, 1; Florida, 1; New Jersey, 2; North Carolina, 1; Oklahoma, 1; Texas, 2, and Washington, 1. — e —n CLUB TO GIVE DANCE Forest Cotillion Organization Plan- ning Event for Friday.

BEDSPRINGS . fumberon, The Mattress Luxurious p S Built on a New ?fl'fzczfle of WEIGHT ACCOMMODATION NOW you can sleep more soundly, awake more refreshed, than was ever before possible! The Rome Company, makers of the now famous De Luxe Bedspring, have perfected a new kind of spring-filled mattress— Slumberon—built on an entirely dif- ferent principle—“Weight Accom- modation.” Here, for the first time, the body is given uniform, even support at every point—legs, hips, waist, shoulders— regardless of weight. Buried deep beneath Slumberon’s layers of soft upholstery is the newly perfected coil spring construction—Rome’s secret of “Weight Accommodation.” Every Slumberon coil is free to dip and rise independently of its neigh- bors, accommodating itself to the weight just above it without com- pressing any other coil . . . Yet, un- like the usual spring-filled mattress, the free action of these springs can never be impaired by meshing or tangling—for they are held perma- nently vertical by a new assembly of springs in units of four with special patented Rome Hinge Ties joining D - the R E lm” 18 Qucurions The Rome De Lure Bedspring—a fitt: ©companion to the Rome Slumberon M. unit to unit.

A Long-Life Mattress Slumberon is a long-life mattress too, made from highest quality mate- rials—oil tempered wire, long fibre finest grade cotton. The side walls cannot be guilty of unsightly sagging or breaking down, for special heavy duck fabric and cord reinforcing holds them firmly in place. Yet, de- spite its stronger construction, the Slumberon is one-fourth less beavy than the usual spring-filled mattress. There are four convenient handles to as- sist in moving or turning.
