Show I ONE OF UNCLE SAM'S MANY DETECTIVES i I J I " i ''1 s? vi 7: .,.,.tTv L. .1 i Yon haven't heard, have you, that in the work being done to assure yon absolutely good oysters on all occasions, occa-sions, one of your most capable aids is a very charming young woman'.' She is Miss Ruth C. Greathouse. and she is a very important and busy personage per-sonage just- now that the oyster season sea-son is at Its height. Miss Greathouse is young delightfully de-lightfully so. If one were called upon to judge by the amazingly childlike expression of her blue eyes, the freshness of her coloring, or the riot of curly locks, one might say "She's about eighteen." If one were called to make a guess by the very dignified, digni-fied, letters of scientific degree fol-lcwing fol-lcwing her name, or the importance of the work she does, one would place the figures among the years of spectacles and gray hairs. Miss Greathouse is one of the expert ex-pert scientists of the bacteriological division of the bureau of chemistry at W ashington, and has done some of its most important and efficient work. I'ri !i.- the bacteriological division comes all the inspection of oysters and sh-Hlish of all sorts as well as the testing of the milk supply. |
