Women Chemistry Majors Make Own Cosmetics -- 'Charm'
Miss Bottorff is a College sophomore; and Mr. Davis is a business junior and a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.
Pittsburgh—(U.P.)—Chemistry majors at the Pennsylvania College for Women have gone into business to help other students along the rocky road to success.
The women have formed a cosmetics factory. They manufacture, package and retail their own brand of bottled beauty and use the proceeds to finance scholarships for worthy junior chemistry majors.
The products sell under the name of "Charm" and include three kinds of face cream, hand lotion and tooth powder. The tooth powder comes in five flavors—peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen, clove and cinnamon.
Students at P.C.W. have taken to their infant industry and sales run high because of the high quality and low price of the products. The main retail outlet for the cosmetics is a stand in one of the school's buildings, but a small mail-order service also is carried on.
Only the highest grade ingredients are used in the manufacture of "Charm" products. The jars and bottles used in packaging are sterilized for more than an hour immediately before they are filled. Laboratory conditions are rigorously inspected and cleanliness is a bv-word.
The women didn't enter the cosmetics industry without running into the same pitfalls that greet any newcomer to a field. They've had more than their share of trouble, they feel.
When they first started making face creams, they discovered that glycerine, a basic ingredient, is none too pleasant to smell. Perfumes were too costly to allow a profit. After a little research, however, they finally found an inexpensive rose-geranium synthetic smell that filled the bill.
The 50-cent tooth powder had to be flavored, of course. That seemed easy enough at first. But it turned out that every woman in the school had her own favorite flavor and couldn't understand why she couldn't get it in "Charm" tooth powder.
So, the manufacturers got together and decided to beat down competition from the outside by putting out the stuff in five flavors. When the budding young canned-

beauty dispensers decided to enter the hand lotion field, they put out a frosty-colored goo that stuck up everything it touched and wouldn't soak into the skin. Furthermore, the customers complained, it tended to separate into two distinct and unmixable layers if left to stand for awhile in the bottle.
One of the seniors fixed that by cutting the glycerine content. She even made the stuff prettier by adding a soft pink vegetable coloring.
The Founders Day banquet for P. E. O. will be held on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Eldridge hotel. All unaffiliated members are welcome. Please make reservations with Mrs. Robert Oyler at phone number 2967 by Monday, Jan. 16.
The women who work in the laboratory making "Charm" products, as well as everyone else connected with handling the cosmetics, donate their time. They feel that earning a scholarship for one of their fellow students is a remuneration enough for the long afternoons they give up.

He Didn't Even Say Goodbye
San Antonio, Tex.—(U.P.)A new, yellow convertible rolled up to a San Antonio intersection just as the light changed to red.
The lady driver skidded the car across the pedestrian cross walk and waited.
A man in work clothes and heavy shoes angrily asked her:
"Out back," Mind your own business," the woman retourted.
The man stepped onto the running board, up onto the fender, then to the hood and down the other side as the heavy soled shoes ground dents into the hood and paint of the ear.
