It was originally planned to bring up discussion of the classifica~ tions by the delegates, but the list proved so large, it was decided to ap- point a committee to handle research and study of the various subdivisions of each group. Mrs. Lulu M. Dryden of Baltimore, who for many years was the cnly wom- an agent purchasing steel and now is owner and manufacturer of a forged tool plant, urged that the classification list governing eligibility for membership in the club be made sufficiently flexible to permit the expansion of women into new flelds of industry, business and professional life. Urges World Leadership. “Our classification list must be flex- ible in order to expand,” she said. “Quota should lead the world as an organized group of women and be able to tell the world what women are do- ing.” The afternoon session will be given over to conferences of committees. in- cluding Publicity, Attendance, Mem- bership, Extension, Education and Girls’ Service. The session will adjourn with a report of the Nominating Committee, of which Frieda Kenyon of Washington is chair- man, immediately followed by nomina- ions. u'rbe Baltimore Club will be hostess this evening at a dinner at the May- flower, at which Marie Moore Forrest, fourth president of the Quota Club of ‘Washington, will preside.

MANCHESTER, England, June 25 (#).—Prompted, perhaps, by govern- mental nudgings, Britain’s cotton tex- tile industry is plucking the mote out of its own eye. Of all British industries it has been the most violently kicked about ’l:‘y 'e.lxle begn the target of economists; its plight has been S0 obyvious. It was easy to tell Lancashire what it ‘was up against, but it was difficult to pull together an industry of old firms, guarded secrets and bitter com- tition. . pehnn&hlre was hard-headed at first. But it was just as tough when it set out to find the facts. Find Better Salesmanship. Its economic missions, sent to in- vestigate vanished markets, didn't spare any sore spots when they returned. The trouble, they found, was lower production_costs and better salesman- ship by other nations. But_the industry knew where it was Now it is turning its self-inspec- tion inward. Not all the credit should go to the industry. If it hadn't acted the government probably would have. ‘The first step toward complete re- organization is under way. Faced with a restricted market, per- haps permanently, the industry is plan- ning to adjust its production capacity to present and prospective demand. ‘There is more to this than mere limiting of output. It involves lopping off surplus plants, particularly out-of~ date machinery. It is said that machinery older than the museum specimens in London is in use in Lancashire. Expect Plan in July. Longevity may be a tribute to Eng- lish mach’nery makers, comments the Financial News, but “it rapidly becomes an obstacle to reorganization and mod- ernization, particularly when the ma- chinery is being used by sound and cld-established concerns whose finan- clal position keeps them alive through long periods of them in a position to undercut more modern mills with more scanty finan- cial resources.” At the moment the program is only at the questionnaire stage, but the in- formation as to plants and production is expected to be gathered late this month and some definite plan formu- lated in July. After that the committee will tackle the problems of closer and more ef- fective co-operation between different sections of the industry, better contact between firms in each section, further amalgamation of individual firms, wage calculation and negotiation, methods of distribution, simplification and stand- ardization of trade practices, applica- tion of research results to production, at.

The second is shy, docile, irhpression- able, reserved and worries a great deal. The third is light-hearted, cheerful, quick in reaction, but scon tired. He finds some curious groupings when this classification is applied to the population of Tokio. Military stu- dents, for example, fall largely into the second type, both in blood reaction and behavior. Officials of the military col- lege told Prof. Purukawa that they sought introverted students as the best material for officers. This type also included, as would have been expected, the suicides. These were classified from blood alone. A majority of the criminals examined fell in the third class. It is the type, Prof. Purukawa explains in the Journal of Social Psychology, in which sense of responsibility would be lowest. Teach- 5!’;' college girls fell largely into the t class. Higher education for women in Japan, the expeimenter says, is new and only girls of great will power and energy are likely to undertake it. The fourth blood group recognized by physiologists could not be correlated with any definite personality traits. Prof. Furukawa now is trying to estab- lish relations between blood, tempera- ment and the chemical composition of saliva and tears, which are believed to differ among individuals. T. R. H.
