Instead of the usual Christmas

These seals are done in heavy

Headline Folk

Success of Women In
u. S. Trade Positions
Is Notable,
By LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Career diplomacy is closed to worn
en-. Brilliant girls, Just out OF college,
Keep on knocking at the door, but it
doesn't open. In the Department Of
Commerce things are different. Trade
commissioners or assistant commits
sioners in seven countries are women.
They have been stngularly successful
working as Uncle Sans saleswomen,
finding out what people of other ma
tions want, employing tact and dis
cernment in their work, supplying the
department with all sorts of keenly
observed data about preference, taste
and sales possibilities. They are prov
ing themselves excellent trade ENJOYS.
The National League of Women
Voters, in publishing its survey of
women in public Office" noted espe-
cially the success of Miss A. Viola
Smith at Shanghai and Miss Elizabeth
Humes at Rome. Miss Smith has been
with the Department of Commerce in
China since 1920. A native of Los
Angeles, she was graduated in law at
George Washington University. She
was at Peiping two years before being
transferred TO Shanghai.
She has been president of the Amer
ican Women's Club of Shanghai, vice
chairman Of the international Com
mittee of Women's Organizations and
has been active in many fields of So
cial and civic life in China.
Miss Humes assistant trade commits
Sioner in Rome in 1925 and commits
sioner thereafter, showed typical re-
sourcefulness in inducing Italian wom-
en- to wear backless bathing suits.
| This, with successful cosmetics CAM
paign, opened new avenues for Amer
ican trade in Italy. She travels a
great deal around italy and keeps the
department minutely informed on
trade conditions and opportunities.
She was reared in Louisiana and edu-
Gated in Italy and Switzerland. In
the war she was with the Red Cross
and later was attached to the Amer
lean Embassy in Rome.
Miss Gudrun Carlson has made a
similar success at Oslo, Norway. Other
nations in which America is repre-
sented by women in trade posts are
Brazil, Guatemala, Chile and Ven
ezuela. All reports are that chic, in
telligent women are highly esteemed
in foreign capitals and it would ap-
pear that more good jobs for bright
girls are coming along in the De-
partment Of Commerce as clerks or
commercial attaches, if not as COM
missioners. The new Survey Of Wor-
en- in Public Office" lists 10000
women in the Federal civil service.

County Agent Here
WILL MANAGE FARMS
FOR INSURANCE
COMPANY

Adrian M. Wilson, Redwood
county agent since June 1896,
handed his resignation to the
board of county commissioners at
their meeting Tuesday. He has
accepted a position as farm field
manager for the Equitable Life
Assurance society of the United
States.
He will maintain his home in
Redwood Falls and will manage
farms owned by the company in
Redwood, Lyon, Lincoln, Yellow
Medicine, Lac Qui Parle and pro-
badly several other counties in
this section of Minnesota.
Expressing regret at Wilson's
resignation, commissioners said
they have not yet hired man to
replace him. Wilson was to have
taken over his new duties May /,
but will remain in office long
enough to initiate his successor.
Coming here in November 1885
as assistant to Nate H. Bovee,
county agent, he assumed full
charge of the office when Bovee
resigned last year. He was grad
uated from Iowa State college in
1881 and was club agent at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa before coming
here.
He has been particularly active
in rural identification project
promotion and leaves the position
with the groundwork well laid.
