She is a daydreamer and has little incentive. It seems I am continually nagging at her to do this and not to do that.

It is a battle to get her up and dressed for school. When certain other children come to play she becomes, wild and does things knows she will be punished for. She picks the most stupid children to play with and is e.ctremely fond of a boy who has been in her class for three years.

Since Eire is her home as the world's outstanding au-; thority on Irish cookery, it is equally logical that Cavanagh's Restaurant, 260 W. 23d Manhattan, should have selected her to plan their menu for St. Patrick's Day.

Mrs. Laverty's daughter, Maeve, is also expert at cookery having included in her training courses at the Cordon Bleu School in Paris. Mrs. Laverty, having lived a while in Spain, likes the Spanish influence in foods. But food is not her only interest, although she has done a popular radio program in I Dublin, and because of the by Ida Cubero, left, as Norma Dr.

She also written plays, articles, short stories, poetry and novels, several of which have been published in the United States. This delightful and busy woman has also been editor of a woman's magazine, worked on a newspaper and raised a family of three. Her husband, James Laverty, is an editor of the Irish Times. One of her charming stories is currently in the Ladies' Home Journal.

In chatting about the menu and foods planned for St. Patrick's Day, and which will also be served that day on all KLM flights to Ireland, Mrs. Laverty told us that anything known about ancient Ireland, its food and customs was gathered from the lives of the saints, old manuscripts of the 7th Century, the book of Lesmore and the Tripartitie Life of St. Patrick. The three big saints of Ireland were St.

Patrick, who came to that country in 432; St. Brigid, St. Columbeille. She has planned a menu in the traditional style such as might have been served at Tara in the year, 433, while Maeve has planned a modern menu, both to be served at the 98 GOOD MEASURE -Dorothy Walash, left, and Baila Heller measure liquids in chemistry laboratory.

The even dozen at BCP are a small percentage of the student body as compared to a female enrollment of as much as 50 percent other schools in the country. Most of the 12 girls at the borough school admit that some man, a father, a brother or boy friend, influenced them in their choice of career. Statuesque Barbara Steiner raises her left hand and points to the ring on the third finger by way of explaining why she was studying there.

Dean Hugo F. Schaefer, interviewed at his desk, pointed out that women pharmacists "fit in extremely well" in hospitals where the help is predominantly female. "There is an increasing recognition of the need for pharmacists," he continued, "because of legal requirements which lead to the recognition of the fact that all hospitals should have a pharmacist." "The change that has occurred in medicinal substances themselves within the last ten years" is another factor in the greater need for pharmacists, he added. "Medicines used are much more potent than formerly," he said. In discussing the case for the woman pharmacist, he asserted that she is a' neater worker in both appearance and technique than her male confrere.

"Living in Brooklyn" Canarsie Robots' Spring Practice By MARGARET MARA Margaret Mara Although the Dodgers are in Spring training, practicing in Florida, baseball practice is going on in Brooklyn, too.

This is the testing room of the Gilgoff Brothers, factory, which manufactures automatic baseball-pitching machines. It is a lightweight model named Varsity Trainer. Mounted in a freewheeling steel cabinet that does not require bolting to the floor, it is being purchased by schools and is used in school gymnasiums. The machine pitches regulation baseballs or softballs, which are larger, Softball leagues, with girl players, are buying it for practice, according to Herman the young inventor with whom I talked last week.

But Dodger directors already had purchased a pitching machine when Waner arrived in camp. "Bring me a batting machine and I'll be interested," Mr.

The Gilgoff pitching machine, which weighs only 375 pounds, is a simple arrangement; assorted nuts and bolts, a large gear and a bicycle chain, two powerful coil springs and the pitching arm which operates credit, including a toy submarine is the inventor of Varsiy like a sling shot. The baseballs, which are released 10 for 25c at a commercial pitching range, drop automatically into the steel sling.
