Mrs. Ruth Prather, I BABSON NAMES TWELVE VOCATIONS WITH THE BEST OUTLOOK UV 1JAB80N Copyright 1038 by Publishers Financial Bureau WASHINGTON, D. June 7-This month the supply of workers in the United States and Canada will be swelled by a huge wave of over 2,000,000 school and college graduates.

Getting these young people employed is a serious task. However, I believe that if parents analyze their children and attack this problem intelligently, it can be solved. Certainly, conditions are much better today than a year ago. Six Fields Opportunities for today's graduates may be divided into six groups: (1) agricultural, (2) professional, (3) building, (4) manufacturing, (5) selling, (6) finance. I have never seen a young person who was not fitted for one of these groups.

It is much more important to ascertain whether a boy is best adapted to selling or to teaching, than it is to ascertain whether the "chemical industry or transportation offers the best opportunities. For which of these six divisions is a child, by inheritance, training, and environment, best fitted? That is the problem which parents and teachers must answer. Many readers have written me asking my advice as to the best fields for their newly graduated children to enter at this time. In reply, I say it is easy to select an industry, such as air-conditioning, as offering the best opportunity at the moment. On the other hand, if this is generally recognized, air-conditioning will become overcrowded.

Contrariwise, if the general feeling is that the investment business no longer has good opportunities, this very" fact may cause it to offer excellent opportunities for the few who enter it. Therefore, I will name twelve industries all of which look good to me. I will endeavor, moreover, to list these in the order of their importance. (1) Air-Conditioning. I especially have in mind air-conditioning new small houses and selling individual air-conditioning units.

Hotels, offices, restaurants and stores in the South and Central West must adopt air-conditioning to survive. (2) Chemicals. Most chemical ompanies are already prosperous, while the future offers untold possibilities. Were I eighteen years of age, I should go to a college where I could major in chemical engineering. (3) Alloys and Plastics.

Great developments are taking place in the sale and use of alloys, while the plastic industry offers tremendous opportunities. Most household articles will be made from plastics within a few years. Machinery Business Booming (4) Automatic Machinery. The mistaken attitude of labor leaders, plus the new Wage and Hour Act, ia forcing manufacturers to purchase more automatic machinery, Yet, probably not more than 20 of the manufacturers are using as much automatic machinery as they profitably could. (5) Merchandising.

This mail-order, other features of selling. Wherever goods are made or whoever makes thtm, they must.be sold, irrespective of the value of the dollar or the character of our government. Trained merchandisers should always in demand. (fi) Electrical Equipment. All divisions of the heavy industries, except building, are dull at the present time; but thees industries must come back before the employment problem is finally solved.

Manufacturers of heavy electrical equipment should be the first to prosper when this "comeback" develops. (7) Household Equipment. There are many other new forms of household equipment which should come into geenral use. Ninety per cent of our homes may become obsolete within a few years. Homes will be purchased in the future, not for their appearance, but for their interior equipment.

(8) Investment Banking. With the large amount of money now piling up, the floodgates sometime must break through, "idle money ultimately burns hole in one's pocket." After the stock exchanges are reorganized and the SEC regulations modified, the investment business will again prosper. (9) Gasoline and Tires. Whether one has an old car or a new car, he must buy gasoline and tires. These are both basic and repeat industries.

They are always worthy of consideration. Autos Still Good Bet (10) Automobiles. Although the automobile has come to stay, the market may temporarily be over- saturated. It is a sound and fundamental industry, but it may not now offer the opportunities which it did twenty years ago. (11) Automobile Accessories.

The above criticism does not apply to auto accessories. That is, manufacturers specializing in parts and gadgets for automobiles. These have a broad base to work upon. Their manufacture does not require great capital. (12) Real Estate and Building.

I am very Bearish on old houses; but some day there will be a building boom of small modern houses. The current revival may well be the beginning' of the boom. Pre-fabricated houses interest me greatly. I also believe there will be a great demand for small farms, especially in the vicinity of college towns. Another Suggestion Instead of waiting until war cornea and then have your children used for cannon fodder, is it not much better for them to make a little sacrifice now and train for home defense work I.

have in' mind that they become experts on gas masks, anti-aircraft guns, nursing, and other protective lines. Finally, let me say that ft is far important for children to develop health, desire for babies and for land, than to select any definite industry. Lynn, Carmel.

It has often said, and in this column, too, that accidents, do not happen--they are caused. The. cause of any particular accident may be attributed to a careless driver or pedestrian, to a defect in the highway, to, a mechanical defect, to hazardous -weather' or to a combination' of a number of these factors. Yearly, statistics are prepared by all states and bureaus, indicate that the human element is the outstanding cause. The' driver of automobile is usually responsible 'for the accident According-to the statistics given in recent years, two out of every, three accidents involve mistakes by speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, disregard of traffic signals, and other careless habits have contributed to the high frequency of We are to blame--not the machine, Mr.
