Smiling Irish Eyes Subject of Lady Scientist's Research

Dr. Helen Won't Tell of Colleens Until Figures Are Complete

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

All you want to know about "smilin' Irish eyes," Miss Helen Dawson, Ph.D, and a National Research Council Fellow, can tell you, but just now she won't talk. Dr. Dawson is now tabulating the results of her five months' research trip through seven counties of Western Ireland, in the statistical bureau of the Department of Anthropology.

The investigator did not, however, look into Irish eyes for romantic reasons. It was strictly the business proposition of determining the characteristics of the modern Irish population. It will be four months, Miss Dawson estimates, before she will be able to tell all. Then the world will know whether all it reads of blue-eyed colleens is true.

Dr. C.W. Dupertuis, working with the Department of Anthropology, has made a similar investigation of the characteristics of the Irish male population.
