They say it’s a woman’s prero-
gative to change her mind. And
offhand we’d say that Ruth
O’Brien of Washington, D. C., has
taken full advantage of it. For
Miss O’Brien is a lady who start-
ed studying chemistry, winding
up with degrees. And yet she is
receiving a high award in an en-
tirely different field.
Miss O’Brien is being honored
for her leadership in providing
industry with a scientific basis
for sizing women’s and children’s
clothing. For this, she will get
the Distinguished Seivice Award,
top honor of the Department of
Agriculture. Only one other wo-
man has achieved this distinction.
She was Lucy Alexander, spec-
ialist in the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics.

Redistricting
Bill Virtually
Killed by Senate
(By Associated Press)
Austin, May 14. — A Senate
Committee virtually has killed
the measure dividing Texas into
new Congressional districts based
on latest population figures.
The committee voted to send
the bill back to a sub-committee
for further study. It is almost
certain to die there if the Legis-
lature adjourns in the near fu-
ture, as expected.
The action was taken because
there were vigorous objections to
the manner in which some of the
Congressional districts had been
remapped.
The Texas Senate passed a bill
today that would permit a candi-
date to run on both the Demo-
cratic and Republican tickets and
permit both parties to back the
same candidate.
The House was delayed in it#
task of winding up work on the
tax bill. Uncontested bill* were
put ahead of the measure,

Israel Steps Up
Swamp Program
As Dispute Quiet
(By Associated Press)
At the Nortnem Israel Fron-
tier, May 14 — Israeli authorities
have stepped up the speed on the
Huleh Swamp drainage program
without any interference from
Syrian forces, and prospects seem
brighter today for settling the
Israeli-Syrian dispute.
The Huleh swamp project has
been a source of bitter contention
on the frontier and has played a
part in the recent outbreak of
hostilities between Syria and Is-
rael. The Israelis want to drain
the swamps so the land can be
reclaimed. The Syrians claim the
draniage project violates the Ar-
mistice agreement which ended
fighting in 1949.
The acting chief of the United
Nations staff here, Colonel Ben-
nett De Ridder, is said to have
urged that work on the program
lie stopped for a month in view of
the tension over the demilitarized
border zone. But it is known that
Israel would reject such a pro-
posal.
The chief of the U. N. truce
commission,. Major General Wil-
liam E. Riley, is on his way back
to the area and is said to be ready
to present new proposals from the
Security Council for a permanent
settlement. Syrian and Israeli rep-
resentatives already have drafted
a new agreement accepting Se-
curity Council cease-fire proposals
to end the recent bloody fighting
in the frontier area.
Tragedy Strikes
Texan's Family
I By Associated Press)
San Francisco, May 14 —The
wife and son of a Texas Army
officer are in a critical condition
from burns received in a fire
which swept their quarters at the
Presidio. The couple’s two other
children have lost their lives in
the fire.

pus Chriati ia at the bedside of
his 27-year-old. wife, Nancy, and
his 5-year-old *on, Ellua, Jr. He jt salted boiling water,

Austin.-— “Environmental san-
itation is the public health term
for clean, safe housekeeping
whether it applies to a private
home and its surroundings or to
towns and cities. Among other
things, it insures safe drinking
water, proper garbage and sew-
age disposal, the safe service of
wholesome food including milk,
rat and insect control, and gener-
al cleanliness of the premises.
However, for environmental san-
itation to be effective, it is essen-
tial that not only public health
officials but the citizens living in
their respective homes or operat-
ing establishments serving the
public cooperate whole-heartedly,
declared Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer.
“Consider, for example, the
seasonal housefly hazard. It has
been determined that 120 eggs
are laid by a single female at one
time and that a generation is pro-
duced every ten days at summer
temperature. Thus, the possibil-
ity of reproduction during the
warm months of a single fly runs
into many millions. While the
housefly does not bite, it is dan-
gerous because it breeds and
feeds upon both filth and food.
“Agafh, rats are the source of
several diseases of man including
plague, typhus fever, infectious
jaundice, and trichinosia, to men-
tion some of the more important
ones. Homes can be made com-
paratively ratproof by removing
rubbish and garbage accumula-
tions, and by closing avenues of
access. Approved poisons and
traps should be employed when a
real problem presents itself.
“Removal of containers of stag-
nant water such as tin cans and
barrels will do much to eliminate
the mosquito for householders.
The householder needs to devote
more seasonal attention to mos-
quito eradication than he is to-
day if this is to be properly con-
trolled.
“In general, good and thor-
ough housekeeping, inside and
out, is the personal and civic duty
of every home dweller. It not
only adds to the pleasure of liv-
ing and removes disease hazards,
but increases the appearance of
one’s surroundings.”
Getting back to the prerer.t
winner, Miss O’Brien, that lady'
is now assistant chief of the
B-H-N-H-E. And for twenty
years she directed textile and
clothing research for the depart-
ment. It used to worry her great-
ly that misfit clothing cost con-
sumers and trade much trouble
nnd millions of dollars yearly.
She decided it was high time
something was done about it, too.
So she began seeking realistic
measurements. It was the first
such scientific study along these
lines. First she took measurements
of some 15-thousand women from
18 to eighty years of age. She
found the results interesting.
Among other things she learned
was the fact that height and hip
girth were better predictors for
sizing children's garments than
sizing by age. Also that height
and weight were better for wo-
men’s garments than the bust
measure.
It took quite a while for other*
to appreciate Miss O’Brien’s ef-
forts, but ten years later she man-
aged to get them interested in
her project. And in 1937 funds
and personnel were provided to
help her do the job. If you’re
wondering about the measure-
ments of the so-called average
woman, here’s Miss O’Brien’s
opinion: “She is about 63 inches
high—that’s five-foot-three—has
a 29-inch waist, 35-inch bustvand
a 38-inch hip.”
Ruth O’Brien ia a native of
Taylorville, Illinois. She received
her B-S and M-A degrees In tex-
tile chemistry from the Univer-
sity of Nebraska. Before arriv-
ing in Washington she taught and
directed research in textile chem-
istry at Iowa State College. War-
time and post-war research have
kept her busy as a bee. It.in-
cluded studies of mending and
make-over techniques and the de-
velopment of women’s functional
factory and farm garments.
Kohlrabi looks a little like white
turnips, but it has a delicious fla-

Blonde and blithesome actress
Barbara Bel Geddes loves it when
people refer to her as “a off
the old block." Her fathjflsn’t
an actor, but he’s well-known in
the theater, nevertheless. He is
designer Nonnal Bel Geddes.
Barbara looks like a little school
girl, in her straight skirt and a
sweater with the sleeves pullea
up. a Peter Pan collar and sports
shoes. And her short blonde hair
i* held back by a barette. But
despite the fact that she looks like
a teen ager, Barbara i* 28 years
old.
Hhe tells us frankly that she
was in a lot of flop* before she
managed to get good roles in some
hit shows. However, she feels that
the flop* — as well as the suc-
cesses — gave her loads of val-
uable experience.
In 1945 Barbara received high
praise for her outstanding per-
formance in “Deep Are The
Roots.” She doesn’t think she
really proved hereself as an tc
tress, though, until she did “Panic
In the Streets.” And she explains,
I felt like a human being, as I did
Remember
when I played in
Mama’.”
Between Broadway appearanc-
es — successful and othi
Barbara Bel Geddes did (
stock. She consider* thiL „_____
tiaining. A* a matter of fact, *h#
thinks young fellow* and girls aim-
ing at stage careers would do well
to start out in summer stock.
She feds it’a much wiser than
to go to Broadway “cold.” Be-
sides, they’ll have more opportun-
ities in- a stock company. Broad-
way is overcrowded with stage
aspirants. With talent scouts vis-
iting so many summer theaters
one is much more likely to be
“discovered” than in a New York
casting office, anyway.

poor mathematician.
