Recent Events Hold the Attention of Brownsville and Valley Society
^Scientists
In Women s
Group, Topic
Women in science was the timely |
subject for discussion in the Learn- j
era' club last week, as they met at
the home of Mrs. F. H. Williams.
Mrs. Sherwood Bishop was leader,
insisted by Mrs Willie George and
Mrs. S. C. Tucker.
Mrs. Bishop stressed the fact
that though women were not phys
ically able to compete with men.
that a comparative number had !
made themselves felt in the field
of science, giving as an example
the numbers employed in the ag
riculture. reiriperator and chemi
cal departments of the National
Bureau of Standards.
The department of industrial re
search shows that many wome"
are employed by drug houses ans
dietitians and technicians in ad
dition to the nursing service which
always has been the woman's
world. Women are also found in J
the editorial departments of the
daily press and she becomes more
important in this field as more
women are specializing on journ
alism The library field is open
almost exclusively to women and
daily we find more curators of mu
seums The patent bureau shows l
that women are outstanding for
hav.rg registered oa'.Mits.
In the 1927 issue of the Ameri
can Men of Science. SB7 women
are listed. Mrs George stated
I that of the 15.000 chem.sts in the
I United States, four per cent are
[ women, ana mentioned Mary Al
l lard Berth *s being th-t mother
of photo-microscopic work. She is
now an old woman in her eighties.
She paid tribute to Madame Curie
oi France, who with her husband,
discovered radium in 1W2. thus
benefiting the whole world of sci
ence.
She stressed the fact tha' our
Kandmothers invented the formu
s by which soap, vinegar, dyes
and many other commonplace do
mestic necessities ire made. These
same formulae, imorov d perhaps,
have been adopted ana commer
cialized by wholesale concerns
which distribute th?m today to the
average housekeeper
Mrs. Tucker men.toned tnc tact
that as early as 375 A. that
women were recognized .11 the sci
entific worm Id. Hypatia Thyron,
under Plutarch, was called 'he or
acle of seven languages and was
authority on algebra and geometry.
As a prelude to women in
tronomy. she recited James Tay
lor's well known poem, Twinkle,
l Twinkle. Little Star."
Marla Mitchell, a New England
Quaker, daughter of an astrono
mer. and as a child, was much
more Interested in the stars than
lr. play, and in 1818 discovered the
first telescopic comet In 1848 she
was elected to the college of wi
enie. the first woman awarded
ffcts honor.
Slie also mentioned Anna Junk
Cannon ai ronomer at Welesley.
Mrs. Pauline Goode slated that
78 per cent of the pharmacists en
rolled in the University of Madrid
are women.
Dr. Mayo giics credit to his sis
ter for many of his early successes
in the medical world
Mrs, Bishop expressed apprecia
tion to Muss Velma Wilson instruc
tor of science In the Brownsville
Junior college, for much o! her ma
teria' on the lesvon subject

PALM BEACH—There's a ban on
fcthe word "Depression'’ down here
and riotously striped awnings, color
ful beach parasols and handsome,
gaudy beach costumes make the
place festne. It's positively gay here,
and don't let anyone say it isn’t.
Among those seen: Mrs Harrison
William* is another barefoot sandal
addict but she wears her toe nails
iacquered to match her almost
magenta-red finger nails. She looks
awfully smart, as usual, in the
white linen mannishly tailored
suits she wears about, particularly
when she knots a gay kerchief
about her distinguished neck.
Pros.-Elect Roosevelt’s daughter
in-law. Mrs. James Roosevelt, wears
prints much of the time. One suit
she has, dress and jacket, are
brown and white, a fine little nov
elty striped print, with a wide
brovn girdle.
You see a groat variety of cos
