I stood and watched a college senior try to peel an orange the other day. He made an awful mess of the endeavor. I finally con eluded that no man was truly edu cated until he knew how to skin an orange. Here are a few ac cepted methods. 'Secretarial careers are opening up' Governmental director encourages women wanting clerical jobs Opportunities for career service for women are increasing con stantly, a study of government compiled figures on employment of women in clerical positions re veals, according to Mrs. Adria C. Beaver, director of studies of the Washington school for secretaries. United States census figures are cited by Mrs. Beaver to show that from 1920 to 1930, the period when office machinery and equip ment was coming into general use, the number of clerical workers in creased by nearly 30 percent while the total population of the coun try increased only about 16 percent. Even more startling figures cover the period from 1900 to 1930, when the population gained about 61 percent with the number of clerical workers increasing by more than 300 percent. They used to be men. An interesting sidelight on the particular appeal of office work to women as a career is shown by the percentage of stenographers and typists who were women in 1870 as contrasted by the percentage in 1930. Slightly less than 5 per cent of the 1870 stenographers were women, while in 1930 the percentage was somewhat over 95. Based on government statistics, Mrs. Beaver, in a bulletin pre pared for students of the school in Washington and the companion school in New York, predicts that these opportunities will continue to expand with the development and improvement of office ma chinery. For, according to the figures, the greatest expansion in office careers for women as well as men has occurred during the period when the modern office equipment was being Invented and coming into general use. Mrs. Beaver also finds as a re sult of her survey that the im proved equipment of offices has attracted in recent years a higher type of employe. This improved condition of the worker, she ex plained, is unquestionably due to the persons of higher education who are being attracted to office work. When it comes to jewelry, well-dressed women pick sentimental rings, lockets After the Oklahoma Game to mil CHICAGO ORCHESTRA Featuring Blonde Jeanne YflrncII Vocalist TICKETS WILL BE LIMITED.

Pearls ranging from one dainty strand to any number are still very popular for formal wear and look stunning with most any color or style of dress.
