Bureau Studies
Wool Shrinkage
New York The lady of the
house may soon be able to put
all of her family's wool shirts,
sweaters and trousers in the
washing machine without fear
of the usual shrinkage. 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. Woman to Speak

ACCOUNT INVITED!
"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. O.S. .
