12A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford'. Ore., Sunday, September 21, 1958 Woman Builds Business On New 'Hep Cap' Beanies By GAY PAULEY UPI Women'i Editor Locust Valley, N.Y.-dTD-The beanie, "old hat" in the world of fashion, is building a suc cessful new business for Mrs. Robert B. Smitru All because the young ma tron thought up amusing ways to re-do the small, brimless felts which are classics of headcovers. Now, children in all parts of the country are wearing beanies decorated with small, felt skunks and proclaiming "Hi Stinky"; beanies with red-nosed penquin and the words "Cool, Man, Cool"; beanies with an alligator and "See You Later" Mrs. Smith, whose husband is with a New York bank, got into the beanie business as a result of a doll shop she open ed in this plush Long Island - suburb "And I got into the doll business because I have three small girls," said the tall. brown-haired Mrs. Smith. " always have sewed, and sewed, and I started design ing doll clothes for the kids Pretty soon, I was also sew ine for the neighbors chil dren." Opens Shop Three years ago she opened the "Little Women" shop "This summer," she said, "I decided I needed some gim mick to perk up sales. My husband said. 'Why not do something with hats; every body loves a hat.' " Her first beanie featured a glue-on mouse and a big- lettered "EEK". But she dreamed up "about 40" dif ferent styles and with Mrs. Robert Dunns, a neighbor and "my right arm" in the doTl shop, they went in search of a manufacturer. "We called on several pros pects," said Mrs. Smith, "and were so scared someone would steal our idea we would hard ly open our box of samples until we'd already discussed royalties." Eventually, they made a deal with a manufacturer for the basic felts and ' with a high -class distributor and "Hep Caps" were on their way. ' Mrs. Smith said her eldest daughter, Sandy, 11, designed the beanie which so far has been the biggest hit. It fea tures a face right out of a horror movie and "scare" uneven lettering of the word "MAD!" Other designs include the words "in my head" with a hole in the beanie; a daisy Food Expert Explains Kitchen Chemistry Ithaca, N. Y.-IUPD-A full course meal on the family dinner table may have as many as 500 chemical addi tives in it to build its quality or nutritive value, says a food expert. Prof. D. B. Hand, head of the Department of Food Sci ence and Technology at the New York State Agfricultural Experiment Station at Gen eva, says federal regulations make sure that these addi tives are in the best interests of consumers. Hand told a meeting of the State Nutrition Institute at Cornell University that some chemical additives may be used until they can be shown harmful, but "the more ad vanced food companies have gone to great lengths to estab lish harmlessness before use." The professor said an ex panded research program is needed to develop safer and simpler testing methods. DIXIE PORK CHOPS Washington -flJPD- Hanker for some old-style Southern cooking? Then try "Dixie pork chops." Brown 1-inch thick pork chops slowly. Season with equal parts salt and sage. Re move chops from pan. Add flour to drippings in pan and blend well.

Add raisins. Cover and simmer until chops are tender. with three petals on, two fall ing off and the words "He loves me . . ."; a red and black Jadybug with the words "Go Home"; and a turtle with "Go slow." The hats caught on before Mrs. Smith could get the pro duction line for putting on the decorations out of her own house and into a. factory. As a result, she said, just about every nook and cranny is filled with felt or glue. "My husband takes the whole thing with good hu mor," she said. "Since the hats actually were his suggestions, he keeps saying 'I told you so.

Washington Before de ciding on a house, .test the traffic between it and your office or your husband's office. This pointer comes from Representative Iris Blitch (D) Ga., a petite lawmaker who runs two homes, one in near by Arlington, Va., and the other in her hometown of Homerville, Ga. Mrs. Blitch told an inter viewer that "I am a woman who likes a house I'm not happy without one." She said she knew when she was first elected to Congress in 1954 that she would have to find a house in the Washington area. A "for sale" sign led her to a house "that just suited me the floor plan was just what I wanted." The first thing she did, after sensing that the house "had the right feeling for me," was to make a test drive to Capitol Hill. "I Made the test at the very busiest time of the day when traffic was the heaviest and under the worst conditions because it was raining," Mrs. Blitch recalled. "It took me 25 minutes but I knew that by leaving a little earlier or later than the rush hour, I could cut down on the time I find now that I can get to my office in 12 minutes in normal traffic." Redecorating Fun She purchased the one-story brick home because pay in e n t s were cheaper than renting in the long run and I am making a good invest ment." Then she had fun re decorating the home. She chose white, black, and pink tones as her basic colors. The Congresswo man, a youthful and attractive size 12, said the living room has a huge brick fireplace which she painted white. She used a white, textured wall paper and chose white draperies for the windows. A black and white cotton print covers the sofa and accent is given by cerise pull-up chairs. In the dining "L" she has a table, buffet, and chairs up holstered in a black and white stripe. French doors open on to a glassed-in porch with black and cerise vinyl tile and wrought iron furniture upholstered in pink and black. Mrs. Blitch thinks the col ors give an air of lightness and spaciousness to the house. They contrast pleasingly with her Georgia home, which is done in tones of beige, brown and rose. She and her hus band, who have been married 2 8 years, have remodeled their Georgia home three times. The last such adven ture was to give her office space. Runs Two Homes As a result of running two homes, the Congresswoman said she will welcome the day when all equipment is standardized. She said this would make it easier to fix appliances if something goes wrong with them. As it is, she said, the equipment in her two home.s take different kinds of care and remedies. But Mrs. Bitch said that "great advances have been made in house planning" such activities as the forthcoming Woman's Conference on Hous ing "will spur even more pro gress." The conference to which she referred will be held in Washington, October 14-16, to provide homemakers with an opportunity to exchange ideas on the kind of a home they would like. It is spon sored by the National Associa tion of Home Builders and the United Industry Commit tee on Housing, a group of allied housing industry organizations.
