Working on a research project under the supervision of The Wool Bureau, Inc., the Harris Research labor atories in Washington, D. C. have embarked on studies to learn how wool fabrics for all types of garments can be better "en gineered"' to resist this shrink age. According to Dr. Gerald Lax er. head of the Bureau's Depart ment of Science and Technology properly "engineered" fabrics will probably require little or no special treatment to prevent shrinkage when laundered in the latest types of domestic washing machines under mild conditions. Studies have already shown that such factors as length and crimp of wool fibers, the thick ness and twist of yarn, and espe cially the way a fabric is woven have marked influence on the shrinkage of wool fabrics when they are agitated during launder ing. The aim of the investigation, which will run for two years, is to learn what combination of these fiber, yarn and fabric struc ture elements yield a variety of wool fabrics which will hTave a maximum resistance to shrink age when they are washed in the newer types of washing ma chine.

"I plead not guilty by reason of insanity," said a well known Medford business man recently when he appeared in court. And the story was never printed. The man was Russ Jamison, and when he appeared before Judge Noreen Kelly in municipal court on a traffic charge, he entered such a plea. "I must be insane, Your Honor," said Russ. "Only a crazy man would park his car across a driveway used by the city attorney." The court proceedings which followed were a trifle zany, too. Russ argued that since his car had covered only three feet of what was approximately a 10-foot driveway, he was not wholly guilty, but only one-third guilty. "Let's see," said Judge Noreen to her self, "the fine is S2.50 and one third of 25 is" . . . then she in formed the defendant that since this made the problem of com puting the fine too complicated, couldn't he just simplify the en tire matter and plead three-fifths guilty? The defendant pondered a bit and then offered to meet Her Honor half-way, so to speak, and plead two-fifths guilty if she would let a sympathetic witness appear for him. The sympathetic witness turned out to be City Attorney Roy Bashaw, who had been responsible for the citation in the beginning. "Your Honor," said the attorney, "this defendant is obviously the criminal type and must be made to pay to the limit of the law for this terrible crime." Things went on in this vein for a time and at length Judge Noreen informed Russ that his fine was SI. This brought a protest from the court clerk, who declared that the city would lose money on such a deal for it cost at least $1.50 to process every traffic case. Russ says he paid the $1 and doesn't know who made up the difference Judge Noreen, City Attorney Bashaw, the arresting officer or the clerk. Before anyone becomes alarmed over the sanctity of the mu nicipal court, it should be pointed out that all this went on after other cases had been cleared for the day, and was sort of extra curricular activity. Those who appear in Judge Noreen Kelly's court and Potpourri testifies from experience declare she main tains a fair and proper judicial attitude and she is earning herself the reputation of being most efficient. The case of Bashaw vs. Jamison started out much like any other traffic violation case. Mr. J., in a hurry, parked his car part ly across the driveway of the L. S. Bashaw home, 18 Almond street, where Attorney Bashaw's parents live. It was the first time he had ever done so, but he was in a big rush and was only going to be away from the car for a few minutes while he dashed into his office nearby. That was the time Attorney Bashaw decided he'd had enough because almost every time he drove up to his parents' home, he found the driveway obstructed. So he called the police. He was considerably dashed when he found that his friend, Russ J., owned the car, but Russ firmly said he was guilty, and insisted on justice taking its course. And what a course justice took. If the Pan-American Coffee bureau is correct, several groups in the valley including Kiwanian Dames and assorted PTA units, are holding "scandal or gossip parties." In the September issue of Coffee Newsletter the bureau traces the history of the "kaffee klatsch." "What, exactly, is the kaffeeklatsch?" asks the bureau. An swering its own question, the bureau went on to say that the kaf feeklatsch has "three basic requirements two or more compat ible women, a big pot of steaming coffee and lots of lively chat ter." The article relates that the kaffeeklatsch started in Germany during the early 1800's, and the term was first used by teasing husbands who coined the word by way of poking fun at their wives for gathering in one another's homes to drink hot coffee and talk. "Kaffee" is the German word for coffee, and "klatsch" means scandal or gossip. The writer of the newsletter believes that the parties provided German women with a place to talk over events of "her exciting new role as free talker and free thinker" and played an important part in securing social equality for woman in a man's world. Today, 150 years later, the kaffeeklatsch is still as popular as ever. They are often attended by both men and women, provide an easy and economical way to meet old and new friends, fete a newcomer in the neighborhood, honor a bride-to-be or a new mother, or raise money for the PTA.
