WILLARD goes to court about once a month as an expert witness in chemical analysis of trial tvidence. A Pennsylvania State University professor of chemistry, she began helping police as a casual hobby in 1930. Now it is a full-blown avocation. Woman Chemist Solves Crimes UNIVERSITY PARK. Pa. IA- When police officers in Pennsyl vania run into a crime problem demanding expert laboratory anal ysis, they know where to turn. Dr. Mary L. Wi.lard, a short. Jolly, white-haired woman chemist it Pennsylvania State University, has been on call night and day fnr more than a quarter of a century serving the cause of jus tice with her knowledge of science. Miss Willard got involved in "criminalistics." her word for sci entific crime detection, when she was asked to analyze some alcohol seized in a Prohibition raid hack in 1930. Her proficiency attracted Ihe at tentinn of a Scranlon judge and soon she was besieged with re quests to pertorm chemical anal yses of poisons, drugs, b.oodstains painl and other materials in con nection with criminal cases in Pennsylvania and nearby slates What began as a casual hobby How is a full-blown avocation. The warm, friendly, energetic Miss Wil lard receives little remuneration for her crime detection work she floes it as a public service. And Ihe has found that many of the firoblems offer exciting chal.engcs er her graduate students, w h o profit from the practical applica tion of their studies. Miss Willard and her students have determined whether a case was murder or suicide, whether it will signature was genuine, whether farm animals worn pni- noned, and have idenlified hit-and-run drivers by analyses of paint and hair scrapings. The list is endless and covers practically the entire range of crime. The Penn Stale professor, daugh ter of one of the university's early teachers, has given ta.ks on crim inology in many parts of the Unit ed Stales. She feels confident that the growing acceptance of scientif ic crime detection will contribute tc a reduction in 1 the country's crime rale. These facilities are particularly needed in rural areas. Ihe observes. Her interest in criminology has led to many interesting situations, not all of them on the official court records. "You would be surprised at the ruinher of people who think some one in their own family is trying to poison thorn," she says. "Usual ly, the (car is unjustified and al most without exception. Ihcse peo ple do not want Ihe police cnllod. Analyses of coffee, and other foods, urreptiously brought in. never show any poison content. Usually, It's just pl.iin had coffee." Homes With One Bedroom Most Popular By MARGUERITE DAVIS CHICAGO HJPli The demand for new homes is so widespread here that a builder offered one bedroom homes for sale at $2(1. OIK). They were snapped up as quick ly as they were completed, he said. Irvin A. Rlietz, who has devel oped residential areas along Chi cago's fashionab'.e North Shore for more than 30 years, believes his one-bedroom homes are the only housing of their type in the coun try. The market is limited but con slant, he said, and every commu nity in the country could use such homes. Blietz's row of flat-roofed one bedroom houses are located in sub urban Evanstnn, near public trans portation and close to shopping areas, bach dwelling was built on lot 25 feet wide and 118 feet deep. The homes are 1!) feet wide and 34 feet Irthg, with a patio in the rear and with a front yard. The builder be.ieves Ihe homes arc ideally suited for their owners mostly widows and widowers. bachelors, career women, and eld erly couples. The single bedroom, 12-hy-i:t feel, has a closet across Ihe width of the room and opens onto a small bathroom. A hallway along Ihe side of the house .cans to an L-shaped living room, with a ther- mopaned sliding window wall open ing onto a miniature back yard I.ouvered doors open on a table- high coupler separating Ihe living room from the rectangular kitch en. Blietz said the houses arc not inexpensive. Most ollen they are bought by persons who have sold larger, hard-to-maintain homes but who do not want to live in apart ments. Kor persons who can af ford a down payment of about $3,000, the monthly payments would amount to approximately "! lo $75. "Widows have about an per cent of Ihe weallh of the country, and they sli;i want to live well after thev sell their big homes." he said. Blietz estimated thai a $:tO,(KKl home in this area could be dupli cated for $18,000 at San Antonio. Texas, and said that even around New York and Cclveland. Ohio, once considered expensive homes are not so high. But Ihe workmanship is supe rior, he sain, even in ine lowesi priced homes, and owners have been forced to sell at a loss.

Because she was a husky youngster, and because sports are stressed in her native country. Tania became a junior champion shot putter at the age of 14. And it was sporls that tmally brought her to the sunny side of Europe. "I had dreams of escaping to the West as a girl," she ex plained. "But there was no op portunity to get out of the coun try. "When I discovered ' a few teams were sent to other coun tries to compete I decided to be come a swimmer." Tania won the women's cham pionship in the ino meter free style and the loo meter back stroke, qualifying for the Yugo slavian Olympic team. But the Vugo entry didn't go to the Hel sinki games.

DEPORTATION BEGUN A Mexican national who had been in Ihe United States fnr three years was en route to Portland Friday on the long way home. Juan Pedro Villa, 5fi. was arrested at Sprague River Thursday on a de portation warrant. He told Immi gration Investigator Al Neumann of Portland he had been living In Oregon for about a year and pre viously had spent about two years in California. School said the victims revived no longer responded lo standard treatment with epinephrine 'adrenalin) and were literally eing aspnyxiateo. Epinephrine is a synthetic form of Adrenin. a hormone produced in the adrenal glands. In an aslhma attack. Ihe walls of the duels leading to tiny air sacs in the lungs collapse. This prevents air from entering or caving. The patient has difficulty breathing and if the condition continues a thick tenacious secre tion develops in the lungs. This further complicates breathing. Epinephrine stimulates muscle contraction, causing the duct walls lo return lo normal. But the hor mone sometimes loses its effec tiveness. The condition is known epinephnne-fastness and its cause is not fully understood. Dr. Blumenthal said in a report at the annual clinical conference of the American Medical Assn: "There is nothing more disturb ing than to find that adrenalin Ihe drug which is still by far the best in the treatment of acute al- Igcrgic states, is losing its effectiveness." He said a scries of studies aimed at finding a solution to the problem showed that epinephrine works fast when Ihe blood is more alkaline than acid. Working on this line. Dr. Blum enthal and his associates injected sodium lactate solution into the bloodstreams of 45 patients. No other medication was added. All quickly recovered from their at tacks. Dr. Blumenthal said the results apparently were due to the effec uveness ot the patients own ndrenin.

How would you like it if he were a genius? It s not easy." says Mrs. Re- gina Fischer of Brooklyn. Her 15-ycar-old son, Bobby, is a genius at chess. He won the United Slates championship at 14 and be came the youngest international orand Master in history this sum mer. . His one dream is to snatch the world chess crown from the pres ent champion, Russia's Mikhail Botvinnik. One of Mrs. Fischer's definitely not easy moments came this summer when Bobby appeared lo ne stranded in l ugoslavia after his first international tournament. "He had a round trip ticket, but nobody made any reservations for him and he couldn't get a plane. I knew he'd spent most of his mon ey at the World Fair in Belgium and I was afraid the Yugoslav Chess Federation wouldn't go on paying lor him alter the tourna ment had ended. "I went to the Yugoslav Embas sy hut it was the weekend and I couldn't tind anybody. I tried lo ca'.l Bobby, but Ihey said he had ,cu oy irain. "I was really worried. I knew he was loaded down with books and I didn't sec how he could man age. He doesn t speak the Ian guages. I could just see him sleep ing in a train station somewhere nnd people stealing everything he had." But Bobby used his tournament prizd money lo get to Munich where he found plane space home. Chess is not a nomilar came and there are no funds to send the American champion to tourna ments. Bobby won two tickets to Yugoslavia on a television pro gram. His 21-year-old sister, Joan, took the second. Bobhy doesn't like the idea of his mother going around with him to tournaments. Besides. 1 fie- ured it would be better for me to be here in case anything was need. ed money, primarily." She laughed ruefullv a s en- der. dark - haired woman with a smiling mouth in a gamine face. The Fischers separated when Bob by was 2 and Mrs. Fischer raised her two children on her earnings as a nurse. "I don't discipline Bobby. He's too big. Anyway there s not much to say. He comes home and sticks his nose in a chess book, stops to cat, and he's hack again until it's lime to go to bed. "Bobby's one of Ihe ones who play for blood as they say in chess. He's serious. He has to study all the time. The countries publish pamphlets and books at a great rate new openings always being worked out. "He's not interested in girls yet they don't play chess. He doesn't smoke or drink. He does chew his nails down to the bone, but I'm afraid to make him stop. I don't know what he might take up. "Some of these chess plavers twitch all over. Honest. They start with an eye and twitch down to their feet and start again. I'd rath er he chewed his nails. 1 "The only thing I do is nag him I to get some fresh air. This year lies joined the Y and says he's going to get in better physical shape. "He used to be wonderful at sports in fact, he himself used io say he wanted to be a baseball player. "I don't know a Ihing about chess. In fact, I tried to make him stop for four years. But I've given up now." ALASKA INSPIRED HATS Alaska has inspired a line of hats by Miss Mary.
