Gives Address At

nationally recognized as an authority
In the field, Miss Claribel Nye lost
night described the practical uses to
which her field of endeavor has been
put during the present crisis, not only
In the home but in municipalities, at
a dinner meeting of the American
Association of University Women at
the ttacajawea inn. in 1914 the fed
eral government passed a bill allow
ing ior extension worjc m agriculture
and home economics, with financial
aid to those states who matched the
federal appropriation with a like
amount of money, she said.
"Never before has 'home economics
had the opportunity and challenge
that it has today," Miss Nye said.
Using the minimum needs for health
and decency as a basis, the extension
department in home economics out
lined a bulletin for welfare in a large
western city, in which they worked
out scientifically the amount of food
necessary for all ages and occupations,
so that destitute families would re
ceive enough food to live, and the
children would receive sufficient food
to keep their bones straight so that
they will not bear the stamp of
poverty and malnutrition throughout
their lifetimes.
The extension program In home
economics is an experiment In adult
education. Miss Nye states. Thorn
dyke, an author In methodology,' hns
proved through experiments that the
best age for learning, probably, is
between 25 and 30 years, whiltr the
desire to learn during that time is
low, and extension Is based on the
premise that people can change if
they have the desire to learn.
Through an unencumbered college

Pa jama Fad Nipped In -Bud
By Philippine Schoolma'm
MANILA, P. I. VPl The pajama fad
sustained a quick setback when It
spread to the younger generation of
this tropical land of white clothing
which is almost as scant as the
pajamas.
When Pauline Butte, daughter of
George O. Butte, vice governor of
the Philippines, and Agnes Busch
appeared at Central public school
attired In white pajamas they were
sent home by the principal almost
by the timo they had taken their
seats in the classroom.
After the two girls had departed,
tho principal, Miss Elizabeth Flagg,
warned the other girls in the class
they must wear '.'proper" clothing to
class.
"Pajamas are not uniform cloth
ing," .explained. Miss Flagg after
ward. "We are under the bureau of
education and governed by its rules."
Whether the pajama fad will gain
other adherents among the younger
generation remains to be seen.
Wearing of lounging pajamas
among adult American women, in
troduced by the wives of army and
navy offlceds, has been common
probably as long as In the states.
After the two girls had been sent

Miss Butte has been active In soci

moment or two later Arnold rejoined
Shrader, he said.
The witness said the permit covered
sale of class A preferred Btock of the
Public Utilities Consolidated corpor
ation, operating subsidiary of the
Foshay company. Previously the sale
of $160,000 of this stock had been
authorized, and attempts to obtain
authorization for sale in larger
amounts had been unsuccessful.
Clifton H. Burns worth, of San
Francisco, former vice president of
the Foshay company, substantiated
Shrader's testimony when he was
called as a witness. He said he has
provided Shrader with the $2000
which was drawn from the petty
cash account of the Portland office
of Foshay.
Foshay and H. H. Henley are on
trial accused of mall fraud opera
tions. An attorney for the defense
moved to strike the testimony of
Shrader on the contention it was
immaterial,, "and that 'If any corrup
tion was shown In the testimony,
there was no evidence that the de
fendants had so Instructed these
men." The motion was denied.
iNIEINDL HANDLED TRANSACTIONS
SALEM, Feb. 2 (P) Tho Foshay
transactions In securing a permit for
the company to sell stock In Oregon
wore handled by Fred Melndl. blue
sky examiner In the corporation com
mission's office, Mark D. McCalltster,
former commissioner, reiterated here
today when questioned further about
tho Foshay dealings as brought out
In testimony presented at Minnea
polis yesterday.
McCallister said he did not recall
effhand of the Portland attorney's
connections with the case, and that
he knew nothing of any cash trans
action between officials of the Foshay
company and J. G. Arnold, Portland
attorney, as brought out in the Min
neapolis testimony.
"It Is true that we granted the
Foshay company permission to sell
stock In Oregon," McCallister said,
"Tho permit was Issued only after ex
pensive investigation and upon rec
ommendation by the examiner In the
corporation departments offices."
When asked If he knew G. E.
Shrader, witness who testified about
the use of $3000 in receiving a per
mit! McCalllBter said, "I think
Shrader came to Salem once or twice
in connection with the permit. J. G.
Arnold, Portland attorney, I believe
was retained by Foenay interests ana
assisted them in obtaining the per
mit, but I don't recall circumstances."
Fied Melndl is not now with the
commission. Ho was released soon
after James W. Mott, present com
missloner, assumed) office last April,
He , Is said to be residing In Portland.
STORY IS DENIED
PORTLAND, Feb. 2 (P) J. G. Arn
old, attorney here who was men
tioned in the Foshay trial at Minne
apolis Monday as having been given
$2uuu to ootain a permit to Beu ro
shay securities In Oregon, today de
llared "the story of tho $2000 is all
bunk." ; :
He said he did not recall the In
cidents clearly but ho did remem
ber a Foshay employe discussing
such a permit with him. He said he
and the man met Fred Melndl, dep
uty corporation commissioner, and
discussed the matter. Several days
later, he related, the two went to
Salem and obtained such a permit.
Melndl said today he never knew
Arnold to be associated In the mat
ter at any time, and that he knows
nothing whatever about any $2000.
He said O. S. Shrader, Foshay em
ploye, appeared at the Salemt office
about the permit. Melndl said he
already had considered several times
tho question of the permit, and that
Foshay had fou rsuch applications
on file. i
"I did not take kindly to some of
the applications," Meindl said, "and
recommended that some be denied."
He said Foshay asked for a rehearing
on the recommendations for denial
and that these rehearlngs were granted.

is different from anything ever produced before. Made by an
utterly new process. Gives utterly different results.
Formay is absolutely pure snow white and' flavorless. Stays
that way indefinitely. It's fluffy, and creams much faster than
any other shortening. You cun whisk up cakes in a jiffy. Such
cakes too! Fine-grained and light as a feather.
Formay is tho shortening every cook will lovo in pastry.
