Compact Industry Is Almost Wrecked Change In Makeup Technique Is Felt CHICAGO (UP)—When American women altered their nosepowdering technique, they almost wrecked an industry. Before the pancake makeup fad there were 11 companies manufacturing compacts. Now there are only three still in business. Os the survivors, two are operating at sharply reduced levels. Only one, Elgin American of Elgin. 111., has weathered the storm as a national producer. Milady's switch from loose to pressed powder took this toll: Wadsworth — Discontinued its compact line in 1953. Bliss, Metalfield, Columbia and Pilcher—Out of business.. Rex—Sold at auction, 1948. Majestic — In bankruptcy proceedings. * Ritz—Bankruptcy. Combines Old With New Evans is operating on a curtailed schedule. Volupte changed hands and now is liquidating. its inventory. Allen Gellman, president of Elgin American, said his firm has survived by combining Old World craftsmanship with modern production methods. It also has conducted intensive research into female tastes and buying trends, he said. '-" GeHman said market research has turned up some interesting sidelights. For example, floral motifs sell well in small towns and rural areas, but not in New York and some other big cities. Animal motifs sell anywhere. Hasards of the Trade Shifting trends are nothing new for (Sellman’s firm. The organization used to make watch cases back in the days when men carried pocket wattches. Suggests Chain Os Weatherstations To Provide Better Service To Farmers WASHINGTON (UP) — An lowa State College scientist has suggested establishing a chain of agricultural weather stations to provide forecasts better suited to the needs of farmers. Weather information currently is tailored more closely to the needs of aviation “which has been the greatest user (of weather forecasting) in the past,” Dr. R.H. Shaw said Tuesday at a meeting of the Agricultural Research Institute. Shaw said farmers, for example, need temperature reports taken’at ground level—where the crops grow—"instead of on top of a three or four story building.’' Farmers also need wind speed reports taken at ground level, he said. The lowa scientist said the proposed agricultural weather stations should record radiation, air temperatures, soil temperatures, humidity, winds, rain, dew duration, evaporation and soil moisture. Dean M.M. Kelso of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station, another participant in a panel discussion on climate and agriculture at the meeting, said the field was “largely unde- ? veloped.” Kelso proposed building about four regional research stations across the nation to make basic studies of the effect o fdimate on plant growth. Each station, built at a cost of about one million dollars, would be equipped with climate control chambers. Kelso said scientists know so tittle about this subject now that "even if we knew how to predict and control weather perfectly we still haven’t answered the problem, because we don’t know what factors to predict and control.” Another scientist. Dr. F.W. Went of the California Institute of Technology, added “it’s not true to say we can’t do anything about climate.” Scientists now have the “knowhow” to solve agriculture-climate problems if they aregiventheret search tools, Went said. b
