Unusual Occupation For Women Is Post Of Trade Commissioner By BARBARA DeFRIES 1r While there may be a dearth of1 activity surrounding the post of For- I eign Trade Commissioner as far as some countries are concerned now' it is bound to be an active field later l with the closer economic collabora- tion which is sure to follow the war. A Trade Commissioner is an offi- cer of the United States Department of Commerce stationed in a foreign country and an official of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. It may sound like a lot of title and responsibility to bestow upon a wom- an but actually feminine trade com- missioners are quite an accepted fact. Duties Explained According to Elizabeth Hume, For- eign Trade Commissioner at Rome, Italy, the primary duties of such a commissioner are the gathering, as- sembling and presenting of iiforma- tion on the industries and commerce of the country in which she is sta- tioned, in such a form that it will be of practical help to American manu- factors who want to sell goods on that particular market. At posts where there are more than one Trade Commissioner, each reports on certain specified commod- ities. While details of the work vary from one post to another, in general the commissioner reports and ren- ders any service demanded by Amer- ican business. Writes Articles In addition the commissioner writes descriptive articles of eco- nomic and trade conditions so that anyone wanting to study market possibilities for a given commodity may use them as a background. Material for these articles are for the most part gathered from personal investigations which involve wide ac- quaintance with government offi- cials, business men and industrialists of the particular country. "The job of a Trade Commissioner is not a woman's job in the sense that it is work done for or with wom- en or in any way connected with eco- Tea Will Be Today A tea will be held today, at 4 p.m. in the International Center. This tea is being sponsored by the foreign stu- dents. All interested in the work of the Center are invited to attend. nomic problems peculiarly affecting women," Miss Hume said. "The ca- reer of Trade Commissioner carries with it duties and the fact that a particular commissioner happens to be a woman is in no way important in the work." Qualifications Listed Qualifications for such a career involve a good general education with practical experience in business, technical experience in any line of business-shipping, banking, export- ing, etc.-economics, commercial ge- ography, problems of international trade and a knowledge of factors in- volved in our foreign trade. Also it is of the utmost importance to have command of at least one foreign language. Miss Hume feels that the best age for a woman wishing to go into for- eign trade work is between 30 and 45 years. She must be accustomed to foreign travel, must have a pleasing personality and must be able to meet people of foreign nationality cor- dially and understandingly. Above all, she must be cheerful and self- reliant and must be capable of adopting herself to strange modes of life. While Miss Hume readily admits that foreign trade offers an attrac- tive career, it is not suited to every woman, even if she has the training and mental ability. "The young woman who undertakes it must be prepared to live a life of comparative loneliness, separated from family and friends-among strangers."

Official Civilian Defense Uniform Is Appropriate~ Fo pigSi Skin Infections Are Analyzed; Suggestions Given For Cures By ALICE FRETZ Health Service dermatologists have a word to say about "that school- girl complexion." The biggest skin problem in the University is acne from which 25 to 30 per cent of the women and about 40 per cent of the men suffer upon coming in as freshmen. Dermatolo- gists do not know the exact cause of this, but it is conjectured that the internal secretion glands which are particularly active at adolescence fail to work properly, causing eruptions, on the face and back. The disorder itself is not harmful, according to Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of the Health Service, "but the effect that a marred face has on a senstitive adolescent's person- ality and happiness is." Treatment Suggested The treatment then, not only in- cludes a high standard of cleanliness, a diet which cuts out sweets and starches and external applications prescribed by the doctor, but a little psychology of "holding the fort until you get over it." For most acne dis- appears with time. Medical opinion also holds that commercial concoc- tions are of little or no value. "The best promotion of healthy skin is from the inside," Dr. Forsythe re- minds. Next to acne in general prevalence is athletes foot, being found in 15 per cent of women and 50 per cent of University men. You may have heard some wild rumors about people who had to have their feet amputated because of this disease, but these ru- mors are completely false. Annoy- ing though athlete's foot, or ring- worm, may be, and as much as the unfortunate sufferer may wish he had his feet removed, no such situ- ation exists. It's true that this dis- ease caused by a fungus may never be 6 completely cured, however, and that treatment is very unsatisfac- tory. The main thing seems to be to keep the infected areas dry with astringents. Boils Analyzed Boils are another common annoy- ance to young people-3 per cent of last year's incoming freshmen were. afflicted. It seems that when one's resistance is lowered a staphylococ- cus germ around the hair roots causes this painful eruption. More com- mon when men wore choker collars, boils are now the bane of athletes, because of dirty towels and hard rub- bing. The best treatment is to let nature take its course. The mention of the seven year's itch, which is not particularly wide- spread right now is apt to bring a weary look to the eyes of skin doc- tors. This disease, caused by an animal parasite, the female of which burrows into the skin and lays eggs, was three times as widespread after the last war as it was before. Doc- tors went to work and had just suc- ceeded in reducing it to its normal status a few years ago. And then Hitler came along with another war. Hair on the face for women and lack of it for men, is just one of life's little heartaches that you can't do much about according to Dr. For- sythe. Like acne, this affliction has a harmful effect on a person's ap- pearance and is caused by faulty functioning of internal secretion glands in developing sex character- istics. Because of this women some- times have the masculine character- istic of superfluous hair and men have feminine tendencies to hairless- ness. If you're in a quandary as to what to spend the spring clothes budget on-a defense uniform or a suit- your worries are over. The slim, smart Official Civilian Defense Outdoor uniform is the ap- proved defense uniform and it may easily serve as a spring suit entirely in keeping with the military spirit and also that army man's idea of what the well-dressed woman should wear. Smartly , tailored, this suit of de- fense blue gabardine is just the ticket for those of you who plan to play your part in the defense program as an air raid warden or a clerical worker. Smart looking air raid war- dens will certainly keep up the mor- ale and you'll have them talking down at the office about your effi- cient-looking outfit. You can't forget the all-important accessories. The jaunty, matching blue cap perched over one eyebrow is a must. An essential to the utmost efficiency in performing your duties is a flashlight plus a flashlight belt. Even the well-dressed defense worker needs jewelry to accentuate her cos- tume and a gold or silver identifi- cation bracelet serves the purpose excellently. A word of caution about wearing these uniforms: the official defense uniform is not to be worn unless the required course in civilian defense training has been completed. So, sign up for these courses and spring out in this smart uniform so in keep- ing with this country's all-out prep- aration for war. Courses now being offered at the League offer training for civilian defense. I~r~i_ _ __ p I'd , , ' ' .$<, 0 S Q ,t .... CY2" i a2 ' . 1 :V i + .
