Typing and Ski Champions
Frenchwomen, Here for Textile Parley,
Bring Skill to Work and Avocation.
Mile. Loulou Boulaz, French women’s ski champion; Mme.
Odette Chaubert-Piau, champion typist of Europe, and Mme.
Genevieve Laverriere, in charge of stenographers and records
at the World Textile Conference, left to right, talking things
over in the Departmental Auditorium. —Star Staff Photo.
BY BLAIR BOLLES.
IN THE battery of eight typists
whose machines grind out daily
in French and English the 60,000
word record of the World Textile
Conference at the Departmental
Auditorium are two champions, Mme.
Odette Chaubert-Piau and Mile. Lou
lou Boulaz. In perfect French they
told their stories to the interviewer,
whose French is neither perfect nor,
for that matter, even French.
Mme. Chaubert-Piau's 95 French
words and 110 English words a min
ute on the typewTiter make her the
undisputed queen of Europe's tap
pistes, as she calls them. She prob
ably would be recognized officially as
the universal champion if the spon
sors of a world-wide contest had not
gone broke just before they began
arrangements for their project.
For five years Mile. Boulaz, 25, a
dark-haired little Swiss, has been the
foremost woman skier of France. She
defeated the former champion, Mme.
Georgette Galtier, at Chamonix, j
France, and since then none has
touched her speed and agility. To
amuse herself each week end, which
is now a French word, she quits her
typewTiter in Geneva and dashes for
the snow-clad mountains.
Woman Is Supervisor.
Both champions work under the
general direction of Mme. Genevieve
Laverriere. Her English is infirm,
and she found the interviewer's
French so unsteady that she kept
handy an interpreter, who helped to
make it known that Mme. Laverriere
has gone from capital to capital dur
ing the last 18 years arranging the
| stenographic and recording end of
conferences called by the Interna
tional Labor Office, which arranged
the textile meeting.
Since she started her career here
in 1919 at the initial sessions of the
I. L. O. she has been to Genoa, Italy,
for the first maritime conference of
the I. L. O.; to Sanitago, Chile, for
a pan-American labor condition dis
cussion, and to London, Berlin, War
saw, Brussels, Paris, Rome, Madrid
and Stockholm for meetings of the
governing body of the I, L. O.

At the opposite end of the audi
torium from the long room in which
Mme. Laverriere’s tappistcs tap is
still another personage, Paul
Schnaidt, in charge of distribution
of mail and records, w'ho is known
in the Alps as the human St, Ber
nard. He speaks fluently French,
English, German and Italian.
He is getting old now—old at least
as athletes reckon it—but in his day
he was the emperor of skiers. Even
today he is one of Switzerland's top
mountain climbers, and when word
comes that a party is lost in the
mountains around Geneva he is sum
moned to lead the rescue search.
Yet another famous avocationist
among the more than 200 men and
women from abroad who are here
for the conference is M. R. K. Burge.
When he wants to banish from his
mind the worries born of being di- |
rector of the London offie of the I.
L. O. he retires to his home, changes
his name to Vernon Kennedy and
writes detective stories. He is one
of the most popular creators of mys
tery fiction in the United Kingdam,
and of course his English is modeled
on the Kings very own.
Mme. Chaubert-Piau can type in !
English with little hesitation when
she is copying, but she considers
that nothing extraordinary. Of her |
airplane speed on the writing ma- I
chine in all languages she remarks: !
“It is a gift. I was born with it.’’ i
It seems her mother ran a school
for stenographers, and by the time
she was 12 little Odette rattled the
typewriter as proficiently as most
girls that age play jacks. She en
tered her first competition at 15,
when she galloped along at 60 words
a minute—French, which are longer
than English. She won the European
title in 1924 and defended it success-.
fully through 1934, the last year there |
was a contest.
Mile. Boulaz, the skier, had her
first tumble In the snow on the long
sticks when she was 17, which is
pretty late in life to take up a sport
at which three years later you are
to become champion. Until then she
had contented herself with swim
ming, at which she won no prizes,
and foot racing.
Now. however, she holds the dls
tinctioln of being one of the two per
sons who have gained the top of Les
Grandes Jurasses, a difficult moun
tain in Savoy, which required 38
hours to ascend. "What do you like
best in all the world?” we asked
Mile. Boulaz.
"Ski.”
That nade it easy. Ski is ski in
any language.
Airmail Service planned.
Air mail services between Rio
Grande, Tierra del Fuego and Bahia
Blanca, Argentina, are to be extended
to Buenos Aires.
In all the world—no other paint like this
THAT LASTS YEARS LONGER! !
A beautiful, lustrous finish that defies the
effects of weather. Actually, 46% better than
other paints by official laboratory tests. It’s
the extraordinary, moisture-resistant Tung
Oil plus O’Brien’s1 patented Thermolyzing
Process that makes T. T. O. Paint so much
superior to all others. With the oil pre
shrunk before it is mixed with the other in
gredients, cracking is practically eliminated
—and, chalking is delayed two or three
years. Yet, with all its advantages, T. T. O.
Paint is economical—it covers better—goes
farther—and lasts years longer. Smart,
modern colors for any desired treatment.

NAVY REJECTS ALL BIDS
FOR FLOATING DRYDOCK
The Navy Department has rejected
all the bids recently tendered for con
struction of a floating drydock for the
navy yard at Pearl Harbor, T. H.,
holding the estimates excessive, it was
learned yesterday. Officials said that
the next steps have not yet been de
cided upon.
The department received an appro
priation of $750,000 from Congress
for construction of this drydock,
which is officially known as Ard-2,
and is the smaller of two projected.
The Bureau of Yards and Docks ad
vised the four bidders that the Navy
could not accept their offers.
The lowest Indicated bid was sub
mitted by the Dravo Corp. of Pitts
burgh, Pa., for *1,182,000. Bids were
opened on February 3.
