Factual Labeling for Clothing, Piece Goods Is Urged by Institute

Mrs. Guy H. Shadinger Begins Lecture Tour; Boston Federation Member Opens Exhibit Of Indiana Artists’ Work.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON

Though statistics can be cited to prove that a vast part of the country’s purchasing power lies in feminine hands, women show an amazing reluctance to consider

themselves in the role of consumers. So says Mrs. Guy H. Shadinger, who is addressing U. S. women's organizations on the history and care of fabrics. She is to leave for Kansas City today to speak before the Woman’s City Club and later will address groups in Topeka, Roanoke, Va., and Madison, Wis. “It’s not until something goes wrong with a purchase that a woman becomes conscious of herself as a consymer,” Mrs, Shadinger said. “Then she ceases to think of the edicts of the fashion experts and asks why a ‘washable’ garment won’t wash, why some materials pull out at the seams and why wardrobe fatalities occasionally result from dry cleaning.”

Lectures Under Auspices of National Institute

Mrs. Shadinger has bean studying fabrics since she began weaving for her own pleasure 15 years ago. She is lecturing under the auspices >f the Women’s National Institute of Arts and Industries, an organization which conducts national educational programs on textiles, health, food, finance and housing. She is the only Indiana member of the advisory committee of which Mrs. Oliver Harriman of New York is chairman.

Mrs. Shadinger’s lectures, conducted under the direction of Dr. Pauline Berry Mack, director of home economics research at Pennsylvania State College, are designed “to give women more information about fabrics so they will know how to buy goods that will give service.” As a result of a 1936 institute forum on “Are We Getting Our Money’s Worth?”, where it was revealed that 13,000,000 woolen women’s garments that year had been cut unshrunk, the organization sponsored the textile plan, to guarantee against shrinkage of woolens, and a serviceahility program for textiles, including fiber identification, Mrs. Shadinger said. In keeping with the institute's slogan, “Interdependence of industry, labor and the purchasing consumer,” Mrs. Shadinger is urging women’s groups to support a constructive movement to bring about factiuial labeling of ready-to-wear and piece goods as to fiber content, color fastness, cleanability and shrinkability.
