The National Roster of Scientific and Specialized Personnel. The National Roster of Scientific and Specialized Personnel (under the joint administration of the Civil Service Commission and the National Resources Planning Board) employs this horizontal sorting machine as an aid in the exacting task of picking just the right combination of specifications. This machine selects from the prepared index cards the men who have the required specifications such as a definite specialization in one of the engineering fields, familiarity with certain languages, locations, marital status, ethnicity, age group, extent of education, etc.

Capps family at Columbia vaudeville. Baby of 21 months (been on stage for 6 months). Girl of 5 years (been on stage for 2 years). Boy of 7 years (been on stage for 1 year). Girl of 8 years (been on stage for 5 years). Boy of 12 years (been on stage for 8 years). Boy of 14 years (been on stage for 9 years). Oldest boy is acrobat, contortionist, etc. All do singing and dancing acts except baby, who appears in final scene as Charlie Chaplin. They appear 3 or 4 times a day--sometimes 7 days in the week, usually coming last on program (as a feature), which means they do not leave dressing room until nearly 11 p.m. Then, in addition, the life in cheap hotels and on the road "making new towns" is very unsettling. It was very touching to see the little ones curled up back of the scenes waiting for their act and getting 40 winks or the mother nursing the baby just before it was poked out onto the stage to do his little "turn." In spite of their stage life, their manners are good. They are quiet, well-appearing children, and the parents are kind and sympathetic. The father acts as nursemaid to the baby, and the mother dresses and changes the others and appears herself. She said: "They're never sick. It's the healthiest kind of life." The 8-year-old girl said: "I don't like it--the men in some places are so rough." There was some familiarity shown to them, but not much. Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan / Lewis W. Hine.

War production drive. This chart was displayed in a Westinghouse plant in New Jersey as part of the war production drive. The labor-management committee reported that the easy familiarity of the wording on the thermometer was very effective--it helped production fighters to get hot and stay hot
