 In the meantime. The Journal of the American Medical Associa- lion points out that many ahdi- tional studies are needed Tn rela- ton 10 the Use Of cthylene on food substances. Recent invcs'i- cations show that irradiation by the sun confers upon fresh fruits and cereals. particularly the leafy vegetables. certain vitamic powers Of the greatest importance.
 Perhaps artificial ripening hy the use Of ethylene will interfere seriously with the development Of these powers. The yitamins are relatively delicate. No one knows whether artificial and rapid ripen- ing increases their presence. de- creases if. or materially affects it in any way.
 Here is q field for studies of prac- tical importance in which prompt ness is demanded because of the commercial significance of the rapid ripening process.

There are five general kinds of

WOMEN WHO
WORK

NNHE number Of married women
i in business is increasing. A
recent survey Of Bryn Mawr
alumnae, reported by the Won.
ans Home Companion, shows that
AZ per cent of the graduates who
replied to a QUESTIONABLE have
continued their careers since they
became wives.
In thirty years, while the mum.
Der of women at gainful work has
increased 81 per cent, the mum.
Der Of married men at such
work has increased 100 per cent.
Most of these are working, pre-
sumably, because they have to,
but an increasing number are
working because they choose to.
A study made by Mrs. Virginia
Collier among 100 women who are
both professional workers and
mothers indicated that the latter's
life was one Of happiness and
normality. "They are much like
other women" she reports, "only
