The effects of egg shells on heated yolks were studied in view of physical values and microscopical structures. The results were as follows :
1. Yolks heated with shells at 40, 50 and 60°C were fluid. They were gelatinized at 70°C and granular at 80°C, with higher physical values. Their structures consisted of polyangular granules, except those heated at 60°C.
2. Yolks heated at 60°C showed lower physical values and the structures surrounded by yolk membranes disappeared with slight shocks. The phenomena were seen with old raw yolks.
3. Three kinds of eggs-fresh, old and preheated at 60°C-were boiled or fried. In these boiled yolks, physical values were almost unchanged and the structures were maintained. In fried yolks of old eggs, physical values increased and the structures disappeared.
4. When yolks of old eggs were taken out of the shells, their structures were apt to change, and properties of the yolks after heating showed the effect of the change.

Wearing test of basic dress in the same pattern which are made of four different kind of materials, namely, cotton, wool, synthetic leather and artificial leather, have been carried out under routine living condition in summer. The observation was analyzed from clothing hygienic point of view and the following results were obtained.
1. An experiment in air-conditioned room showed that the clothes made of artificial leather were of stronger wind-proof than the others.
2. Another experiment in a non-conditioned room showed that the microclimate (temperature and humidity under clothing) of those made of synthetic and artificial leather were inferior to the other two although they were comparatively easy to wear and work, while those of cotton and wool were not easy to wear and work and also were found partly unfitted to wear at thighs, ankles and arms.

To find out the relation between moisture and water transport properties of clothing materials and wear sensations, in this paper, physiological factors and physical properties of fabrics relating to subjective wear sensations were clarified. Three healthy adults were chosen as subjects in the experiment. The experiments lasted for a total of 1 hr each, and the subjects followed an intermittent motion consisting of rest and walk on a treadmill. As specimens, four shirts consisting of cotton, polyester, cotton-polyester blended and polyester grafted with hydrophilic groups were used.
The results are summarized as follows :
1) The subjective estimation of thermal, humidity, tactile and comfort sensations vary in the same way in the wear triales.
2) The variation of the relative humidity in the air layer next to the skin is similar to those of the above-mentioned sensations, that is, it is considered one of a characteristic index governing the wear sensation. However, the amplitude of the variation is not perfectly reflected on the sensations.
3) Total sweat secretion during experiments increases as the rise of the humidity occures earlier and steeper.
4) A significant correlation was found between the comfort sensation and the total amount of sweat.

In this papar, moisture and water transport properties (moisture absorption, moisture desorption, transmission, water absorption, drying and wicking properties) which were considered to relate to wear sensation were measured, and some considerations were carried out along with the results of part 1.
The results are summarized as follows;
1) Moisture sorption contributes to the rise of the humidity in the air layer next to the skin, which influences total amount of sweat governing wear sensations.
2) The rise of the humidity becomes fairly slow when the wind velocity changes from V=0.15m/sec to V=1m/sec. The reason is considered that the apparent diffusion coefficient changes largely, in other words, the absorption, the desorption, the transmission and the drying rates become very large as compared with those at V=0.15 m/sec.
3) A clue to predict the wear sensation from the moisture transport properties of clothing materials was given.

In the previous paper the knitted structures on various parts of stocking and the physical properties of stocking fabric were investigated and the body leg measurements were carried out in order to find out the enlarged strain of stocking by wearing.
In the present paper the deformation and strain distribution produced on various parts of nylon stocking by wearing were measured in order to find out some influences on the run propagation.
The main results obtained were as follows :
1) The strain in wale direction at underleg was larger than that of thigh and was largest around the ankle. The strain in course direction was rather complex than that of wale direction.
2) The strain in wale direction at foot was largest at outside, medium at inside and smallest at instep. The strain in course direction at the instep was in order of stretchseamless>nonrun>nonstretch-seamless.
3) The strain distribution in stocking was uniform at various parts of stocking by tight wearing, but unequally distributed strain produced by loose wearing.

The authers tried to show the top line of sleeve by an improved formula, y =β³/αx^w+β²-h, of Witch's curvature, one of algebraical one, y =a³/x²+a², which was a part of circlein the top of curvature; consequently, it was very convenient for top line of sleeve.
We were confirmed that the curvature of our formula was fully fitted to actual top line of sleeve in clothing construction.

The allometry equation : y=bx^α was applied to the relation between hip girth and several measurements concerning the clothing design. The data used were obtained from 7, 000 males and 7, 000 females aged from 7 to 20 years. Results were summarized as follows :
1) Values of α in the bust and waist girth became greater with increasing hip girth so that negative allometrical relation changed into positive in the last one or two phases. In the case of stature on the contrary, values of α became smaller with increasing hip girth. As to the neck base girth, the value of α at adolescence was, in males, greater than before, so that the relation changed into positive allometry from negative one. In females, on the contrary, the value ofα decreased at adolescence. In the case of posterior shoulder length, the value of α in males increased after adolescence, while that in females decreased at adolescence.
2) Based on consideration of critical points, it was found that the allometric relation studied changed with increasing hip girth through four stages in both males and females. The changing points were 64 cm, 78 cm, 83 cm of the hip girth in males, and 65 cm, 71 cm 86 cm in females. It was suggested that these stages might be characterized by respective particular somatotype.

“The Moiré Contourgraphy” as an efficient mehtod of three dimensional measurement of human body is applied in practical use in the fields of industry, medical science and so on, and precise measurement of human bodies can be made from the pattern of the moiré contour lines.
In the field of the planning of clothes, the patterns, areas and radii of carvature of the horizontal sections are needed, and it takes a long time and is difficult to get a precise measurement of these values from the moiré topography.
This inspired us to study an analzing system of the moiré photograph and following procedure successfully gives the drawing of the horizontal sections and precise values of it's girths, areas, radii of curvature.
1) By the pictures which are taken from four directions, we make some horizontal sections by using the spline interpolation, 2) compute girths and areas of horizontal sections by the method of numerical integration, 3) then compute radii of curvature of horizontal sections, 4) and finally compute radii of curvature of sagittal sections.

It was known that people, especially the children had each different distance for each individual person. We tried to measure such interpersonal distances with the notion of Personal Space. We designed two experiments : we had four objects; mother, friend (same-sex), friend (opposite-sex), and stranger. We examined the difference of object and sex in each developmental stages (Expt. I). We examined correlation between children's version and interpersonal distances (Expt. II).
(Expt. I) The subjects were 77 first graders, 42 third graders, and 38 sixth graders. We used the doll-play-technique and set up four scenes at home. We let the subjects present the situations when they talk to the different objects. And we measured the distance between the subject doll and the other doll.
(Expt. II) the subjects were 69 sixth graders. We tested them with TAKEN SHIKI EXTROVERSION-INTROVERSION TEST.
We obtained the following results :
Mean interpersonal distances was small for mother, friend (same-sex) and gradually became greater for friend (opposite-sex), and still greater for stranger. The distance of first graders was different from third and sixth graders. And boys had great distance for mother, and similarly, girls for stranger.
Thus interpersonal distances reflected the degree of acquaintance and the process of socialization of the subjects. But we can't find correlation between children's version and interpersonal distances.

The relationship of school children's food preference to their personalities and the parent's rearing attitudes was studied by the methods of multiple regression- and discriminant-analysis. The results were as follows;
Though there were some differences between boys and girls, it was found that the elements of cyclic tendency, inferiority feelings, objectivity, cooperativeness, general activity, thinking extraversion, ascendance and social extraversion among the 12 personality traits, and protection, dominance, contradiction and discordance among the 10 parent's attitude types were related to the preference for food; and the contribution ratios in each case were more than 80 %.
Moreover, the estimation of discriminant functions with 10 elements selected by variable appointment procedure of multiple regression-analysis made it possible to classify the samples into 3 groups (the strong likes and dislikes, the ordinary, and the non-fastidious) with the misclassification ratios of about 1532% in range.

Following the previous report, a special feature on the method of teaching sewing and opinion on the clothing education in the Taisho Era was discussed, referring to the materials on Takeji Kinoshita and Shigeru Watanabe which was thought to have some influence on this period.
There was an idea that woman should have a broad sense of culture. Kinoshita and Watanabe criticized the principle of clothing education in Meiji Era that it was merely teaching the technique of sewing. They tried to improve the method of teaching by lessoning the program of sewing lessons. Their purpose was to emphasize not only the moral education but to develop good citizenship. Furthermore, Kinoshita took an important view of the present day life of children. He emphasized education of livelihood of children which would help to enhance their future life.

Following the previous report, referring to the materials on Kinoshita and Watanabe, the fourth report was focussed on the discussion of teaching materials.
There were conflicts on the foundation of teaching materials which Kinoshita insisted was mainly on the adult size cutting, while Watanabe insisted on the youngster size cutting. There was a new movement in which the materials on European style of sewing was introduced in Girl's High Schools, and 7 th or 8 th grade of Grammer Schools.
