Women Who Have Important Tasks
i'm Government Service
BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER

In the country at that time where 1t
was possible to get graduate study III
textile chemistry. and so Miss OBrlen
was forced practically to train herself
while she was in the process of devel-
oping her department at Ames.
Her Summer vacations were spent
in various dry.CleaninG plants ana
textile mills that she might gain ac-
tual experience in their control lab
oratories. Through the engineering
extension department at Ames, whlch
is in touch with all branches OF the
States industries, Miss O'Brien gave
short courses in cleaning and dyeing,
and for laundry owners a course in
their phase of the work of keeping the
human family cleanly appareled.
Two Of her Summers during this
period, she spent teaching on the fac
ultv of the University of Chicago, and
one other at Oregon Agricultural COL
lege. She received her present APP
pointment on June 10, IVA.
In the short time that she has been
with the bureau here, she has begun
important studies on various ASPECTS
OF the laundry process, with especial
attention TO the effects Of temperature
and washing aids on cleanliness pro
duced. out of this, she and her assist
ants hope to acnieNe a SlalQdTuILeu
method of homo laundering which
will be scientific instead of casual.
Starching formulas are ALSO being
tested.
Under the head of clothing, the
projects on foot are: % The develop
ment of logical fitting procedure to
assist home clothing makers and
teachers: 60 IL study Of measurements
of individuals as a basis for the stand
ardization Of fitting and pattern
making.
4 third investigation is in the form
of a QUESTIONABLE that has been sent
out through the country to women
directly to discover which groups are
still doing sewing at home. According
TO present indications, Miss o 'Brlen
saws, the rural communities are still
largely self-producers in the making
of family clothes.
Miss O'Brien has written many ar
tfcles for both trade and popular
magazines. Her bureau Bulletin on
The Selection of Cotton Fabrics is
now in press, and her set of lantern
slides, "a Guide to Fabric Selection y
is in circulation through the. Co
onerative Extension Service of the
Department of Agriculture. She is
preparing another set at present on
costume design for mature women.

Boasts such a person and such Il pro-

charge of the bureaus division of tex
tiles and clothing. There have, of
course, been chemists for many years,
but small practical application has
been made of chemical principles TO
textile studies. And that is what
Miss OBrien is doing.
In 1914 the University of Nebraska
awarded her the degree of bachelor Of
science in chemistry and home eco

Then for two years she studied al the

Tampa Fla.
What justification IS there for the
claim that the United States has re-
Gently lost the friendship Of most OF
the world?
Answer-Such a statement is an
opinion only, and may have been
formed by travellers more sensitive to
peoples passing moods than to their
settled convictions.
The causes for the present mood Of
resentment against America, where
il actually exists, are traced to the
Japanese exclusion act, the heavy in
debtedness or European countries to
this Nation and our sloWness i'll CO.
operating with other nations in ac-
cepting arbitration for the settlement
Of international disputes.
In Latin America there is also CON
siderable opposition TO the Monroe
doctrine as a setting up OF intrusive
protection over countries which do not
desire it. One Of these causes has
been removed by our entrance into the
World Court.
Let US hope that the others will not
prove permanent. For despite the as
sertion Of ultra patriots TO the con-
rrary, the United States cannot .af-
ford to dispense with the friendship
of other nations.

Undefeated Teams Shrink

BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-No reason
ever has been advanced to explain
the folly of horse that will dash
back into a burning barn and the
cause that prompts an expert to get
his judgment on football teams
scorchcd week after week is just as
much Il mystery.
The horse simply does it and so
does the expert.
Last Saturday and the week pre-
vious, the major football teams did
just what the experts said they
wouldn t do But this week offers
some consolation to the brave pro-
Phets They can't make as many
errors of Judgment because there will
not be as many big games.
Week by week the undcfeated
teams all over the country--espe-
cially in the east, have dwindled
from an impressive platoon to a
I skinny squad with some blank
files.
Notrc Dame and Ohio state remain
the class of the middle west; Army
I Navy, Brown, Lafayette and New
York University in the east Ala.
! bama in the south, Stanford on the
coast and Missouri in the "Nallev'
! conference.
OF these moderated teams it is
/ only a sure bet that Ohio State will
be undcfcatcd next Saturday night
because Ohio State dOcsn t play sat
urday.
+ There is only one real game in the
east and it Will attract notice princi
! pally because of its traditions. That
game is the first of the Big Three
series between Harvard and Prince
. ton.
If anyone can pick the winner in
that game he can have il. Har
