OSC Home Economists Say
Textile Label Law Good
Corvallis-S hoppers can
plan on getting more from
buys on spring wardrobes
with the new textile fiber
law that requires labeling of
all fibers by -"family" and
'fiber trademarks.
Some of the benefits of the
new law are explained by
home economists of the Ore

In the past, they say, the
shopper almost had to be

church. It was held at the
home of Mrs. Frank Carter,
Upper river road.
Co-hostesses were Mrs. Don
ald Thumler, Central Point,
and Mrs. John Novak,- Med
ford. The business session was
conducted by Mrs. E. C. Hoff
man, president.
Mrs. Thomas Z. Smith, gen

said the menu will include
fish dishes, as well as turkey
meat balls, baked ham, baked
beans, salads, etc. Serving
owill be from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m
Assisting Mrs. Smith on this
committee are Mrs. Roy Es

Mrs. Lawrence Smith and
Mrs. J. Raymond Ritter.

ilies" and more than 60 trade
names given to manmade
fibers. In some cases, experts
could not tell by look or feel
the 'make-up of many fibers.
With the new labeling law,
the required labels must con
tain the fiber "family" name
and percentage of fibers, by
weight, in the product. In ad
dition, the label must contain
the name-or other registered
identification-of the manufac
turer or other persons mar
keting or handling it.
Home economists offer la
beling of rayon as an exam
ple. Rayon, a manufactured
fiber, is now sold under about
45 trademarks, which vary
greatly and differ in suitable
uses. Yet, regardless of the
trademark, all rayon should
receive about the same care.
Under the new law, the
"family" nam e-rayon-must
appear on the label in equal
size print with the fiber trade
mark. Articles of wearing ap
parel, costumes and accesso
ries, draperies, floor cover
ings, furnishings, bedding and
other textile products com
monly used around the house
must be fully labeled under
the act. Furs and woolens
have been labeled for several
years under previous laws.
Once the shopper knows
what she's buying, she's in a
better position to care for her
purchases, say specialists. To
aid shoppers in understand
ing the new law, Mary Routh,
OSC clothing, specialist, has
written a new bulletin, "Read
the Fiber Label for Clues to
Clothing Care." Oregon resi
dents can obtain free copies
at their county extension of
fice, or from the OSC bulletin

Nine Washington Wives Content
To Stay Out of Capital Limelight
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
United Press International
Washington-!UPl)-At least nine wives in Washington are perfectly happy staying out of
their husband's limelight: the wives of the justices of the supreme court.
While the nine women are quite different from one another, they share a common way
of life, one in which the high court is almost like a presence around the house. It domin
ates their hubsand's hours at home as well as at the office; exercises time-limits and dis
cretion on outside activities and discourages publicity.
Unlike many groups in
Washington's social strata, the
judicial families are not
glimpsed frequently on soci
ety pages.
Chief Justice and Mrs. War
ren find more "obligatory"
engagements on their calen
dar than do most. And Justice
and Mrs. William O. Douglas
are perhaps seen more at such
things as embassy affairs than
the others, chiefly because of
his world-wide travel acquain
tances. Justice and Mrs. Potter
Stewart, the newest and
youngest members of the top
judicial circle, usually man
age at least a Saturday night
"out."
But in the main, the jus
tices and their wives lead fair
ly quiet lives, out of the main
stream of politics and party
going that dominates the capi
tal. As a result some are as
little known here as they
would be in say, Topeka,
Kans.
Following are thumbnail
glimpses of the nine women
behind the justices:
Mrs. Earl Warren - Swed
ish born, graying strawberry
blonde ... at 65 still young
looking enough to be mistak
en for an older sister to her
six children . . . met her hus
band at a swimming party
when she was running a dress
shop and he was a deputy dis
trict attorney in Oakland,
Calif., en route to the Califor
nia governor s mansion . . .
with only one daughter, Vir
ginia, now at home. The War
rens live in a comfortable
three-bedroom ground floor
suite of a residential hotel
with small garden plot and
private drive. She frequently
attends teas, charities, lunch
eons and fashion show bene
fits. Mrs. Warren prepares his
breakfast and dinner each
day . . . likes to bake cakes
. . . has a passing yen to take
piano lessons with new-found
leisure from children and
from duties at governor's
mansion.
Friendly and cheerful, she's
described by newer court
wives as -"sweet and under
standing" in helping them
feel at home. !
Mrs. Hugo L. Black-Eliza
beth Seay DeMeritte was Jus
tice Black's secretary for 18
months before becoming his
bride in 1957. He was 71 and
she, 49, when wed in his Alex

Black commented at the
time: "She's been running the
office and I thought she might
as well run the house."
Quiet and self-effacing, she
came to Washington after 15
years as deputy clerk m tne
U. S. District Court in Bir
mingham, their mutual home
town.
Black's son, Hugo,- Jr., a
Birmingham lawyer, inadver
tently acted as cupid by re
cruiting the secretary for his
dad, a widower.
The Blacks "don't go out
much" and when they do, it

or with other court couples.
Between them the Blacks

previous marriages. . . .

not left their home in some
years, Mrs. Frankfurter is de
scribed as a woman of intelli- j
gence, wisdom and conviction
. . . not awed by her husband's
brilliance and prepared to
make him prove his points.
She is the daughter of a
Congregational clergyman of
Longmeadow, Mass., and from
an old New England family.
Justice Cardozo performed the
marriage in 1919 between her
and the Vienna-born Frank
furter. A Phi Beta Kappa
graduate of Smith college,
Mrs. Frankfurter is a one
time journalist, avid reader,
and co-editor of "The Letters
of Sacco and Vanzetti."
She is distinguished look
ing: white hair, blue eyes. The
justice read her his writings
for many years to get her criti
cisms. Mn. William O. Douglas

tive in groups such as League
of Women Voters. She is the
daughter of Sheriff and Mrs.
C. E. Hester of Tallulah, La.
Mrs. Douglas has accom
panied her husband on trips
abroad during court recesses.
Prior to their 6,000-mile
jaunt through the Mid-East in
1957 she took an auto me
chanics course to prepare for

up with him for as long as
15 miles.

days and special occasions.
Her husband likes to buy
clothes for her, especially
evening clothes.
She likes canasta . . does

Home for Incurables.
Mrs. John Marshall Harlan

fore quitting to concentrate
on dramatics . . . did summer
stock, acting as well as play
ing the piano and painting

She met husband at an of
fice party of his law firm
where her father also worked.
Mrs. Harlan is a courtroom
fan who- spent hours in New
York courtrooms listening to
her husband's cases. She visits
the supreme court when she
can . . . feels trials are like
"going to the theatre."
She kept diary-form notes
on many cases with the idea
of writing about them but
never has . . . loves gardening
and horseback riding.
Mrs. Harlan is patrician
looking, attractive with re
laxed manner . . . likes to en
tertain informally.
The Harlans have one

ing (in classified ads and then
as proof reader) on Courier:
."Not to support him but to
support me."
He lived in a boarding
house in Cambridge . . . they
met on weekends . . . her
first reaction to her husband's
appointment to the Supreme
Court was - "What .shall we
do with the stuff in the deep
freeze?"
The Brennans have three
children; Bill, 26, at Yale;

R. Pugh, of Kansas City, Mo.
. . . met Justice when he was
in law firm in same building
where she worked . . . mar
ried 1928 . . . three sons and
three grandchildren.
Leaving Kansas City home
of 24 years was a "real up
rooting" but Mrs. Whittaker
feels "adequate" here in a
four-bedroom and three-bath
house with "space and large
rooms." Her husband would
rather read in the evening
than go out and she is likely
to .be sewing on clothes for
grandchildren as he reads.
Mrs. Whittaker is interest
ed in Gray Lady work, Christ
Child Society and Trinity Col
lege Auxiliary. Her husband
has "homework" every night
and sometimes discusses with
her as means of "thinking out
loud."
She often doesn't under
stand because "things get
complicated by the time they
reach the Supreme Court."
But she disagrees "often"
based on "purely emotional
and personal factors." v

What it useless coughing?
There are two kinds of coughs:
1. Productive the occasional
useful cough that clears the
throat and bronchial tubes. -DONDRIL
does not interfere
with the useful cough. 2. Non

that rocks the body, uselessly,
and serves no purpose. DONDRIL

NEW YORK, N. Y. (Special) A
major breakthrough in cough con
trol is now announced with the
introduction to the public of a
new anti-cough tablet It's a tiny
tablet... to be taken with a sip of
water. Working through the blood
stream, this remarkable tablet
stops useless coughing up to 6 full
hours. Called DONDRIL Anti
Cough Tablets, this entirely new
concept in cough control is now
available without prescription.
The astonishing relief offered by
DONDRIL is made possible by a
combination of three great medi
