' Suspicions to that effect were confirmed recently in a report' assembled by Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, Inc. The ad agency annually surveys the opinions and " problems of women. who do f -the family marketing.- i : - This year's report, 21st in " the series, was labeled "The Confusion Factor in Grocery ' Shopping." ' - Among the ' statistically based assertions was the state- ment that about 50 per: cent of the women shoppers found a store aisles blocked by boxes and: store clerks. tAn even greater percentage of the gir- died grocery gatherers com i plained the aisles were sim- ply too narrow. . Some 68 per cent of the women complained that their it favorite brands were out of stock. And most of them said 5 they paid little attention to advertising gimmicks such., as 3 point-of-purchase displays. - A big majority, 87 per cent, confessed they make out shop- ping lists, but 23 per cent of t those said they often forget ? -and leave the list at home, j Among i the other gripes registered were crowded food freezers, price stamps and shelf price markers that were to. difficult to read and new products that were difficult or impossible to find. V - The ladies had plenty of suggestions. High on .the list were store directories, inf or mation booths, . suggestion boxes, powder rooms and more exits. The high percent i age of suggestions for more ! exits indicated that more than anything else the ladies want- ed to get out of the markets j in a hurry.

Beautician Explains Grooming of Eyebrows ; New York -(UPD - Eyebrows need as much training and care as a coiffure, say beauty experts. - - First, brush the brows daily to encourage the hairs to grow in the proper direction, v Once the brows are brushed into their natural shape, tweeze the hairs that do not conform to the basic brow line. But never thin the brows because this distorts the shape. . V Eyebrow pencil should be applied in a color one tone darker than the coiffure. With sharp pencil, apply light, feather strokes to fill in the spaces. Define the top of the brows to balance the outline of the lips. If eyes are average in shape the brows should start at the inner corner of the eye and follow the natural bone line of the brow. The peak of the arch is reached " toward . the outer corner of the eye, and the end of the brow is slightly sloped to end on a level with the top of the ear. Use the eye brow pencil as a ruler to measure this. ; Closely-set eyes seem wider when the brow line begins slightly beyond the inner cor ner of the eye. Widely-set eyes appear to be closer together when the eyebrow" line starts slightly in from the inner cor ner of the eye. '- To elongate round or large eyes and make them appear almond - shaped, pencil the brows slightly below the bone structure. For small, deeply set ; eyes, pencil the brow above the bone structure. : 4 .Before storing your barbe cue grill, for the winter, re move accumulated grease by scouring the grill with a stiff bristled brush and sal soda concentrated, applied dry.

The swab will leave no over lap, which usually - drJes--a shade lighter or darker than the original coat.

UPI Women's Editor - New York - (DPD Lois Lun dell Higgins of Chicago looks about as much like a cop as I 1?7 look like Mar ilyn Monroe. But this tiny flat - foot in spike heels has a long and notable record in crime pre vention m Illi nois and na tionally. And she can, if Gay Pauley necessary, nandle a revolver with as good an aim as any man on the beat. . 'I'm very lady-like about a gun," said Mrs. Higgins, "but very effective." Mrs. Higgins, 49, five feet, two inches tall, blue-eyed and gray haired, is a director of the Illinois Crime Prevention Bureau.' She also is president of the International Associa tion of Women Police' and member of the Crime Preven tion committee of the Inter national Association of Police Chiefs, whose convention brought her and her husband to New York last week. No Longer Carries Gun She no longer carries a gun on the job - that was in her early days as a policewoman in Chicago. Now, she explain ed in an interview, she is a combination administrator, in vestigator and lecturer. She and her colleagues in the bureau average 1,000 crime prevention talks a year before everyone from police to high school students. The bureau, organized in 1949, works on a "three strikes against crime" pro gram of education, research and legislation. Cooperating with it are a crime prevention council, consisting of. repre sentatives from city, county and state police departments, and a committee of citizen volunteers. One of its major accomplish ments, she said, "is legislation making extremely severe the penalty for narcotics peddling, "I am convinced,"- said Mrs, Higgins, "that the narcotics trade is part of a Communist program to wreck the young people of the free world. Of course, the, money to be made is a factor; But we must ire- member that most of the nar cotics come from Red China and the satellfte countries.'

Mrs. Lenore Stater Thye said it is her personal observa tion that the popularity of the family room indicates the "re- I turn of social activities, to the home." She credits television Fashion Lines Have Accessories United Press International The classic American shirt waist dress is firmly ensconc ed in the junior world this fall, reports the National Cot ton Council. It is a puff-skirted version with butterfly sashed aprons. Petticoats go under the billowing skirts, of course. . . . ' "Hipcats" and "bootniks" hold sway on high school and college campuses this fall. The former is a girl who wears tights. The latter? A-girl who wears boots.

Only heels will be lowdown among teen shoe styles. . The cloth hat is a top trend in men's headgear. The Na tional Cap and Cloth Hat In stitute, reporting heavy or dering, says cloth hats are made of material rather than of felt. They come in cotton, wool, silk, madras,, poplin, flannel and Dacron. Behind the boom, according to the Institute, . is the fact that "cloth hats are more wash ing." Soup on the tie needn't be a tragedy , if he's wearing re versible neckwear. Two-in-one ties come patterned in one color on one side, the other side in a contrasting color or stripes. I. .

The HEC will meet at the home of Mrs. Dorothy Toek stien Oct. 8 starting with a potluck luncheon at 1 p.m. E vents Housing Room Good with having "a lot to do with keeping children at home." Mrs. Thye is chief of the Agriculture Dep a r t m e n t's housing and household equip ment research laboratory. She is an enthusiastic advocate of the family room: This is the result of her own personal living pattern and, Mrs'. Thye conceded, others may well differ with her on the subject In fact, she said, she has a standing argument on the matter with one of her re search assistants, who consid ers it a waste of housing space to have both a living room and a family room. Likes Family Room But Mrs. Thye told the Na tional Association . of Home Builders that she and her husband, Carl, use their family room "all the time and love it." She said they can do their writing, reading and TV watching in it and leave their newspapers and books about in handy places. This enables her to keep the living room "more picked up" and thus a tidier place in which to enter tain an unexpected guest. She said that home needs change with the life cycle of the family. When children are growing up, she said, a pro vision for privacy is an im portant factor. However, she added: "From a Mother's stand point, adequate storage space is perhaps even - more ' im portant. It enables her to keep a house in order. In my case, nothing distracts me as much as not having a place to put things - I think you can get along with smaller working and living areas if you have adequate storage space. Mrs. Thye said that after the children are grown and have left home, most couples want a smaller, compact house. But even then, she said, it is good to have space in which to take care of .the grandchildren when -they come to visit. She considers it a part of a child's heritage to be able to "come see Grandma and Grandpa, and it isn't good if it is the Grandparents who are always the ones to make the journey." Likes Visitors The Thyes have a guest bed room in their one-story sub urban home but their family room with its two Hollywood beds, doubles as a bedroom for grandchildren. The Thyes once . built a laree. one - story home for three generations - a parent, themselves and their three children. Privacy was the fea ture they sought in planning the home. They achieved it by having three areas on different levels.. A bedroom suite was at one side of the house. Three steps up were the living, din ing and kitchen areas. Anoth er three steps led to a line of bedrooms with bathrooms be tween them. They bought their present home, in a housing develop ment, before it was finished and were able to make changes in it to suit their storage needs. A cabinet for picnic hampers and luggage was built over the basement stairway. , One bedroom closet was big enough for them to turn one end of it into a bookcase and knock out the partition so that the bookcase opens to the hallway and can be seen from the living room. They changed another closet partition so that they could have a built-in shoe-storage space that opens to the bedroom. , Mrs. Thye would like to see high schools initiate a re quired course in home opera tion for both boys and girls. She thinks it would be a good idea if they were taught a little , about. . plumbing and other fundamentals such as the care and repair of electric plugs and how to change a fuse. ...

Architect Lists Qualifications For This Field New York-UPD-A successful career . in architecture , de pends on these two questions: How is your math? How dedi cated are you? If your answers are nega tive, better switch to anoth er field, says Dorothy Chand ler Scott, a member of the American Institute of Archi tects. She is employed by a firm known for its work in college and school planning (Moore and Hutchins). The woman who wants to become an architect must combine the talents of a good designer and an expert in building technology, Mrs. Scott said. Her technological education should begin with mathematics, and later in clude physics, mechanics and structur?' design in steel, mas onry and other materials. Basic preparation is a well rounded high-school ' educa tion. Then come five years at an accredited architectural school and at least three years of practical experience before most states will allow an architect to be registered. - Salaries for architectural draftsmen start at about $75 to $85 a week.' Summer vaca tions offer ..excellent . oppor tunities for young women to take jobs in drafting rooms, serving an apprenticeship. At the end of three years, a beginning architect should be making about $100 a week or more. She also is eligible to take state examinations. In addition, she can be certified by the .National Council of Architectural R e g i s t ration Boards, becoming eligible for registration in most . states. - "Architects don't become millionaries, but they do lead full, satisfying, creative lives," said Mrs. Scott, who met her husband in archectural school at Cornell University. : The profession is one . in which husbands and wives can work as partners. And it can be a bulwark for the future. For example, Mrs. Scott re- tired to rear her children, Julia, who became an archi tect, and Michael, now a law yer. When her husband died in 1952, she returned to archi tecture. t : 'I ; - ' : ;' Pledged .

ASsantMekr 4fi 6MiHmtlunMt J V, Meat Packers to Provide New Instructions on Ham Chicago To cook or not to cook smoked ham is a ques tion that has puzzled many a housewife. A move to provide a quick and ready answer to , this problem was launched by the American Meat Institute at its 54th annual meeting here September 27. More than 6,000 meat packers and. pro cessors attended. Homer R." Davison, AMI president, announced that meat packers throughout the nation will be urged in the future to label .their cured and smokeo hams in one of two ways e i t h e r as "f u 1 1 y cooked" or as "cookrbef ore eating". . Actually, Davison pointed out, -all hams fall within one or the other of these catego ries. But . the housewife has Mushroom Club To Make Plans For New Season Southern Oregon Mush room club will meet Wednes day, October 7, at 8 p.m. at the Red Cross building, 60 Hawthorne avenue.

CHRISTENSEN been confused because of the widespread use over the past several years of such terms as "read y-to-eat", "read y-to-serve" ana similar phrases to describe both kinds of hams. The situation has been com pared by the fact that the original ' wrappers in which hams are sold by the packer generally became separated from the ham in the retail store. This is because most hams are sold in the form of center slices or shank and butt ends. j . Some Overcook Many housewives have experienced disappointment when they overcooked "fully- cooked hams or undercooked or served the so-called "ready-to-eat" ham which reauires further cooking to suit most tastes. To remedy this situation. the Institute's Provisions (pork) committee- is recom mending that all hams be la belled by strin branding which will show oh all cuts, including center slices. This "cooking information" will designate Cue nroduct either as "fully-cooked" or cook-be- fore-eatms". (SUI canned hams are "fully-cooked".) Thus, the housewife can tell at a glance whether the nam she is preparmg for her family 'table should be thor oughly cooked before serving or should be nSsrely heated through or served celd. "We expect that in the not too distant future, all packers who process cured and smok: ed pork products will clearly identify their products so that the housewife will know ex actly whether they require additional cooking before being served," he' said. "Many retailers have en dorsed this program and plan to cooperate by explaining the markings to their custo mers and by making certain the identifying labels are not obliterated when the hams are cut into halves or slices." . - o SCtVKl jC? o O Laundered Shirts Fit Better-Feel Better Look Better t o
