BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Wide experience on a variety of
subjects, combined with an alert
mind and human quality Of under

of important positions to Mrs. Flor

assistant administrator Of the Works
Progress Administration in charge
Of women's and professional projects.
A member Of long standing in a
number of women's clubs, Mrs. Kerr
laughingly admitted that she is a
Joiner" She values highly the
contacts they provide, she added.
Arriving in January from Chi

brought with her membership in
groups including the Business and
Professional Women's Club, the
League Of Women Voters, the
American Association OF University
Women and the Womens National
Democratic Club.
At her home, in Grinnell, Iowa,
she earlier had gained considerable
club experience as a member of the
Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs,
the Social Service County League
and the P. E. o. Sisterhood.
Taught at College.
After her graduation from Grin
nell College in 1912, Mrs. Kerr
taught English and literature at her
alma mater, acquiring experience
which has proven of great value
to her in writing articles on social
and economic problems affecting
women.
| Although she has many hobbies
and is extremely fond of music and
the theater, like all students, she
is lover of books, and, before the
busy days of her Government ad-
ministrative work, frequently re-
viewed books before womens clubs
and other literary groups.
| Mrs. Kerr combines a delightful
domesticity with her knowledge OF
many subjects, and is deeply inter-
ested in the "homelier" vocations
such as housekeeping and gardening
In her w. P. A. work she has given
particular attention to the house.

two months I was placed on the

job with better than average pay
and tremendous opportunities for
the future.
Now here is the angle which /

my only credentials were three
honorable discharges with char
