made life so difficult for her
in Germany.
The scholarships are con
sidered a high honor for each
of the girls because, in their
countries, most scholarships
go to men students. They are
the only foreign exchange
women at the college. Schol
arships in Chile are awarded
through the university by the
government. In Germany they
are awarded by the govern
ment also although special
provisions are made for refu
gees and for families who
have lost a member in the
war.
Chile Lacks Schools
Miss Bianchi told the group
that there are not enough
schools to accommodate the
students in Chile and only
about 50 per cent of those who
apply for college entrance are
accepted. Medicine is about
the only field not open to fe
male students, she said.
In Germany, Miss Schnei
der said, about 80 per cent of
the students go on to college.
While women are discour
aged, they are accepted for
all degrees except mining and
engineering which are con
sidered physically too diffi
cult.
Chairman for the luncheon
was Mrs. Elliott Harlow, who
with Mrs. M. McGeary inter
viewed the students. Other
members of the committee
were Mrs. Emerson Anderson
and Mrs. Tom Polk who were
in charge of decorations.

Marathon
Tea Party
Begins
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York OP) A mara
thon tea party began in our
town today.
The 55th annual tea-tasting
session is on, with a group of
seven experts feeling, snif
fing and "swooshing." This'Il
go on the rest of the week,
with more than 100 varieties
of tea, selected at random
from bonded warehouses, get
ting the once-over.
Tea tasting is serious busin
ess. The experts will. set the
standards for the quality of
teas which may be imported
in the 12 months beginning
May 1.
This whole process dates
to 1897, the Tea Council of
the U.S.A. reports. That year,
American merchants, fed up
with getting a lot of non-tea
among the tea leaves, set up
their own testing panel. That
roughly could be expensive,
when you consider that It
takes 10,000 leaves to make
a pound of tea as we buy it
today.
Expert Added
When the Pure Food and
Drug Act was passed in 1903,
a government expert was
added to the industry panel.
He also samples tea the year
round, to make sure that new
shipments meet the standards
set this week.
This year's panel consists of
Albert Guarino and Alexand
er Grille, both of New York;
Edward Bransten and Thomas
Moss, San Francisco; Phillip
Hellyer, Chicago; Angue Mc
Adam, Boston, and Robert H.
Dick, the federal examiner.
The tests are held each year
in the "tea room" a plain ord
inary office, at the downtown
Manhattan headquarters of
the Food and Drug administra
tion. Tasters seat themselves at a
circular, revolving table. Be
fore them are carefully weigh
ed samples in handle-less
white China cups.
Then Comes The 'Swooshing'
Boiling water from big,
steaming kettles nearby is
poured over the leaves. The
experts watch the leaves un
fold, observe the color of the
tea, sniff the aroma and, after
the stuff has brewed exactly
five minutes, lift the leaves
from the cup and feel them.
Now comes the "swooshing,"
as they dip the brew into their
mouths from outsize teaspoons-No
swallowing, however.
The tasters "park the brew in
a 1 three-foot, funnel-like con
tainer once commonly known
as a goboon.
"Tea tasting is a little like
wine tasting," said panelist
Guarino, who's been sipping
since 1924. But sines the tea
is only "swooshed," and not
downed, there is no need for
clearing the palate between
samples.
"One thing's sure," said a
tea council official. "If they
had to clear their palates, it
wouldn't be with coffee."
