Nor is the writing of authorita-
tive papers limited in their family
to Mr.. Wetmore. AS a men'ber and
past president of the Eistophos
Science Club, whose membership is
restricted to IS individuals, Fay
Holloway Wetmore has contributed
theses for discussion on the follow
ing subjects: Bird Banding" His
tory of the Postal Service" "Aller-
gies":: "Semiprecious Stones" and
my Charm String" The last men,
toned has to do with Mrs. Wet
more's chief hobby, an interest in
button collections brought about by
her own very interesting string of
nearly 1000 rare and unusual but
tons.
Started by Grandmother.
Given to her as little girl by
an aunt in Kansas, the string was
started by her maternal grand
mother, Nancy Elmira Morris Par
rish. who belonged to the famous
Philadelphia Quaker Morris family
of Revolutionary fame and service
to country.
1T was the custom for young girls
to start button strings or charm
strings as they we're often called,
which, they accumulated to almost
the number of 1000, but took pains
not to 60 beyond, lest they be
doomed to be old maids" Mrs. Wet
more told me. Nancy took her
charm string across the continent
with her when her family needed
the westward no movement across
the plains. 1t even survived Indian
raids made upon their caravan of
prairie schooners. and had addi-
tions made to it from time to time,
including a button from her own
wedding dress.
Today. according to careful
check with the Nichols classification
on button lore, it includes all but
three of the most prized types of
buttons sought by American button

Leningrad Gets EstOnian
Shale Gas

MOSCOW -(P)- Leningrad has
received its first gas through a pipe
line leading to the Estonian shale
fields.
The immense EstOnian oil shale
deposits thus have been put to
work TO make the northern city
less dependent on coal hauled from
long distances away in the Dom
bass. Tass, announcing this devel-
opment, praises it as an accom-
plishment Of Soviet technology.
The Soviet news agency states that
every last bolt and nut in the
whole pipeline and in the COM
DressOr stations as we'll as in the
factory which extracts the gas
from the shale was made in the
Soviet Union. The Soviet news
agency also claims that this is the
frst time gas has been extracted
on commercial scale from oil shale
and that this was done by Soviet
technicians despite predictions OF
capitalist technicians that the
project would not be successful.

Dynamo, which is located not

"The blueprints are being pre-

HOW DO YOU LOOK?

With the drastic and almost
complete reverse in hat styles for
Fall and Winter, one wonders
whether we have the New Old
or the Old New Look" However
there is somewhat of crown in
them and bit of brim.
In trying to fit ones face to the
hat of the Season, I dare say,
will take bit of doing. To begin
with, you simply must have your
locks shorn, or you will have to
mold your hair-do very close to
the head.
Selecting your Hat-Not only
must you look at yourself seated
when buying a hat, but appraisc
your figure before a full length
mirror.
Don't selec a hat if you have
just left the hairdressers. Almost
any hat then would be becoming
and later may look different.
If you have a round face and
short neck, select a hat that is
not too small. A small hat will
make your face look larger.
A broad brim is more becoming
