WOMEN IN FIELD OF SCIENCE

Girl. Gives instructions on
Fruit Raising.

Detroit-Wandering through the
huge white marble buildings of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton. one sees many women. in neat
white aprons. some OF them mere
girls. bending over microscopes and
test tubes. Their activities seem very
mysterious: but when one inquiries,
one learns that they are engaged IN
original research work relating in
one way or another to farming or
gardening.
The case Of Miss Alice Henkel. a
botanist in the plant bureau. is note
worthy. If only for the reason that
she entered that establishment orig.
inally In an ordinary clerical ca
pacity as stenographer and type.
writer. That was Only few years
ago. when. a mere girl. she came to
Washington from Cincinnati. But she
was the inheritor OF scientific aptitude
from family in which there had been
many searchers after exact truth in
botanical and other lines, and she
quickly took up plant study as a pro
fessional pursuit.
Miss Henkel. though still young
woman. is the author of number of
scientific bulletins already issued by
the plant bureau. One of these Is on
the subject of Weeds" Another Is
on Drug Plants"-this latter subject
being one to which she has devoted
special attention. Up to the present
time more matter of hers has been
published by the government than
from the pen OF any other woman.
Miss Margaret Huddleson is an.
other young woman scientist in the de-
partment Of agriculture. She halls
from Kansas City. Mo. Not long ago
she took high degree at a college of
medicine. and is now a full fiedged
doctor. Tsis she did in the intervals
