FLANDERS United Press Correspondent St. Louis A shy St. Louis hat maker tells a lot of midwest ern women what hat style they may wear this season then gambles a fortune that they will take his advice. Herman Hyman has won every time. Each season he chooses the the styles he likes. His firm (Bertha Hat company) turns out his ideas in hundreds of colors. The hats go on consignment in 6000 department stores which he staffs. His company does not have a single salesman on the road.' A catalog, listing fashions deter mined by Hyman, isthe only communication between manu facturer and buyer. If the hats don't sell, he takes them back. A Cloche His taste so far has been un erring. The company has been operating successfully in this free-wheeling manner for 50 years. This summer,- said Hyman, women wil buy hand-sewn straw. He said they wil wear the big parasol hat, with a floppy brim, or the so-called peach basket that .covers the head and nearly hides the face. And he recom mends still a third style, the off-the-face cloche popular in the 1920's. All three caught atten tion at a showing by the St. Louis Fashion Creators recently. Hyman said the popularity of the hand-sewn straw has raised an ancient craft to honor once again. He said "St. Louis used to be famous for its straw. Now we'll do it again." In his assembly-line factory, the nimble fingers of 45 women wind and sew hundreds of yards of straw imported from Italy, Switzerland and Japan. The straw strands are wound and shaped on plaster blocks. A cloche may take 64 or 68 yards. A wide-brimmed straw will use 100 yards. Hyman said the depth of the crown this year is varied. It may be three and one-half inches deep like the sailor, or as much as eight inches deep. Bows To Wife " Straw souffle is the key fash ion, said the hat maker. He called it "a fluffy straw." He said it has a soft look, unlike the usual tailored look of straw. And the proper sizing will give it a silky finish to go with new blended dress materials. One of the newest styles turned out by the company is a candy-striped straw cloche in red and white, or blue and white. The stripes, starting at the tip Doctor Declares Lettuce Useless Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R) Lettuce, contrary to parents' ad monitions to balky children, does not produce curly hair, long eye lashes or white teeth. As a 'mat ter of fact, it's almost worthless, says one expert. "Lettuce is nearly 100 per cent water, contains no vitamins and is almost worthless as a food" said Dr. Robert S. Good hart, scientific director of the National Vitamin Foundation. During a recent visit to the Uni versity of Michigan, Goodhart added that the chief value of let tuce is as a "dressing." The greens that are especially nutritious and full of vitamin C are endive, dandelion greens, cabbage and watercress, said Goodhart. Goodhart also discounted the impression that canned foods have lost much of their vitamin content. They really have more vitamin C than fresh and frozen foods, he said. . "Canned foods are picked ripe then are canned immediately fol lowing picking and little of the vitamin C is lost in preparation," Goodhart said. "But with frozen foods much vitamin C is lost in preparation, uneven temperature frozen foods are exposed to also hastens vitamin C oxidation." Vitamin C is essential for the well-being cf the body blood ves sels and it strengthens the adhe sives which weld the cells to gether, Goodhart said. "The vitamin is difficult to preserve since it is quick to ox idize itself, virtually disappear ing from food," Goodhart said. "To keep it in frozen foods, the package must be kept at six de grees below zero centigrade and this is virtually impossible for merchandizers to do, much less the processors, packers, and transporters." of the hat curve down like the spokes of a wheel and out in a tiny brim. Soft-voiced and shy, Hyman turns out styles that are law to thousands of women who buy the hats and to his two sons, two men superintendents and 45 women workers. But he bows to the taste of his wife, when she chooses a hat. This occurs at the start of each season, and Hyman retires from the factory for the occasion. Mrs. Hyman returns home with about five hats and no comment from her husband. Food to be broiled should be removed from the refrigerator will ahead of time because it will broil faster than if put into the broiler while still cold. . - Fruits such as raisins and citrons can be kept evenly dis tributed throughout a cake if they are dusted with flour be fore being mixed into the batter.

Sunday, April 21, 1S57 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Sacramento Woman is Engineer By EDWIN S. CAPPS United Uress Correspondent Sacramento, Calif. U.R) In the fall of 1951, an engineer ing survey crew in Alaska ac quired a new member from the States. It was no picnic, survey ing airports for the Civil Aero nautics Authority in tempera tures that ranged as low a 20 degrees below zero. Every man had to pull his own weight. So the new member wasn't ac cepted at first the survey crew chief wouldn't speak to the new member, and orders were relayed in the third person. Finally came the true test. The chief ordered her to cut down seven trees, strip them of branches and cut them into seven-foot lengths. The new surveyor was Miss Helen Joyce Pease, then a recent graduate of the University of California and a full-fledged en gineer. Miss Pease carried out the orders, cutting the posts in 20-below-zero weather. The posts never were used. When the job was finished, Miss Pease was ac cepted and the chief told her he merely had wanted to see if she was up to the job physicallly. Works For State During the year and a half Miss Pease remained in Alaska, there were no further difficul ties of that nature. Late in 1952, she returned to her native Sacra mento, and since has moved suc cessfully in a world usually re served for men. Now Mrs. Helen Joyce Peters, she is one of two civil engineers included in the 2,500 engineers employed by the state of California. Her salary is about twice that of an ex perienced stenographer. Mrs. Peters is working at pre sent with the huge electronic brains which compute astronomi cal mathematical problems. The Department of Water Resources wants to purchase one or more of these wizards to help make studies for the $13,000,000,000 worth of water development projects proposed for California. , While quite a number of wom en are in the fringe fields of en gineering, few are licensed civil engineers. Mrs. Peters, who start ed out to be a math teacher, feels this probably is because few of them realize it's work they can do. Wants A Ranch Most engineering positions re quire some field work Cali fornia has a minimum of one year in the field but even that task is not top formidable. Mrs. Peters admits it may have been easier for her because, as she puts in, "I'm a big healthy girl." "But if you . like the outdoors, it's really not a hard life at all," she added. "There's a lot of walking and some hill climbing." But, after all, that's what peo ple do on their vacations." Mrs. Peters' aptitude for field work showed up in her first as signment from the Sacramento office field mapping of crop land in Siskiyou County. While Mrs. Peters was completing the task of testing crops for how Carrots Fine Source Of Needed Vitamin A Says Research Council Washington No wonder rab bits have all that hop and skip considering that their favorite food provides almost astronom ical amounts of vitamin A. Def initely, bunnies have the right idea when it comes to nutritive value of carrots. Those crunchy, golden yellow roots have around 48,000 Inter national units of vitamin A per pound, kitchen weight. The rec ommended daily allowance of this essential vitamin as set by the National Research Council is 5,000 units a day for an adult. One medium size raw carrot (5V& inches long, 1 inch thick) pro vides 6,000 units. A half cup of diced, cooked carrots provides 9,000 units. Don't write off vitamin A as just another . scientific word. If you don't get enough of this sub stance you will be weak and ill. "There is evidence," says the National Research Council, "that dividends in health and more effective physiologic function may accrue when quantities of vitamin' A are allowed which are in excess of those required to prevent signs and symptoms of deficiency." Clothing Specialists Advise Skirt Lining Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Baggy skirts destroy a trim-looking sil houette. Clothing specialists at the University of Nebraska said skirts bag after wear when they are made of a loosely woven fabric. The specialists said a lining of firmly woven material such as rayon taffeta or non-stretchy flat crepe helps a skirt hold its shape. If there is danger of pull ing at the side seams, the lin ing should be used in both front and back. Easy Pickup Work much water they used, she met the brother of the man who own ed the ranch she was testing. His name was Herman Peters and she became his bride about a year later. Despite her success as an en gineer, they want a family and a cattle and potato ranch in Siskiyou county. Once on the ranch, Mrs. Peters hopes to be able to pick up pin money by do ing consulting -work for local water or irrigation districts. Needlecraft you can carry wherever you go!
