WOMAN’S SQUAD TO HOLD BANQUET TONIGHT IN UNION
Dr. Julius Klein Praises Installment Buying as ‘Bright Spot’ of Business
WASHINGTON. May 17—(IP)—Installment buying was defended as a "bright spot in thc business picture” by Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, in a radio
address tonight.	*-
Klein undertook to answer crit icisms of the installment method and predictions that It would break down under the stress of depression by citing the result1 of nation wide survey just com pleted by the departmem of com merce ln_ cooperation with the Na tional Credit Retail association.
"All of the alterations in the business trend which we can properly attribute to installment buy ing are measured ln fractions of a per cent,” Klein said.
“The American development of the possibilities of selling usable articles on the installment plan, with all of its flourishing growth, has created no new economic danger. As a system, It has now been put under the most grilling tests by a world business depression of almost unparalleled intensity and it has demonstrated Its right to survive.
“It is being retained throughout the business field in which it has so greatly extended during the past decade. Neither our buyerB nor our sellers, as careful Investigation discloses, have sustained the serious injuries from it which we were warned to expect during business depression. This is one of the bright spots in the business picture of today.”
Installment buying obligations total about $4,000,000,000 annually, according to Klein’s figures.

PSYCHOLOGISTS TO DISCOVER EFFICIENCY OF EYES, HANDS
Which eye In combination with which hand constitutes the most
efficient team?	__	„
Thia question is being answered by Dr. Milton Metfessel and D. H. Lowndes ln the psychology department a* they pursue their Investig* tion into the field of eye and hand co-ordination. The answer • dels blindfolded. The turntable revolves at a constant rate of 60
termlned in each case by actual tests which have been conducted in the psychology laboratory during the current school year.
Briefly, the method being used in determining the question at Issue, Involves the use of a pursuit-meter consisting of a phonograph turn table, a stylus, and an elec trie counter.
In taking the test the subject is placed before the revolving turntable and told to keep the stylus in contact as long as possible for each trail. Subjects are required to use four different combinations of eye and hand trials: the left hand and the right eye, the right hand and the left eye, and the right hand and the right eye and the left hand and the left eye. The eye not bein* used
revolutions a minute and each trial lasts 20 seconds. There Is no rest between five repetitions of this series in the order given. After this the same process is re-peated until there has been given in all four groups of Ihe five repetitions.
The trend of the scores is a good Indication of the learning ability of the human neuro-mus cular syBtem, according to the psy-chogolists. Such tests of eye-hand coordination, they say, are valuable in determining the relationships existing between the domln ant hand and the dominant eye in the performsnee of a simple motot function
