Hat Maker
Predicts
New Styles
By DOROTHY M. 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.

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.
