The Official Conservation Uniform and
 By May Manton

Officials high in the estimation of the public have asserted that the war will be won or lost in the homes of America; that the housewives, the women who control the food service, are the most vital of all forces that are being called into requisition; that to them we must look to insure the victory for which our young men have been ready to give SO much, to sacri- flee 90 much. Truly, it is a great re- sponsibility. We must keep out armies fed if they are to be equal to their work. We must help to feed our allies if they are to be able to continue to sustain the strain which they have borne with such courage for the past three years while we have been living in ease and in luxury. It is we'll we should be banded together, and the honorable MT. Hoover has recognized that fact.
 In the illustration is shown the Official Conservation Uniform that is made of plain blue chambray or other
 aashable material with collar, cuffs
 nd cap of white pique. The cuffs are
 a.ached with snap fasteners to be
 "sily removed. To wear that uniform B to wear badge of honor. House keeping has taken on a new dignity Conservation means SO much that we can hardly apply to it too strong or too big word We must learn what must be saved and what must be eaten. We must understand how to keep our families we'll and strong and vigorous and at the same time to so far curtail he usual supply of the foods that are needed for shipment, that we shall do our part toward supplying those fighting men, those suffereing women o1d ch;1dren

rodate the narrower width. The col. lar. cuffs and both brim of the cap and its lining you will lay on pique. For lining the collar, cuffs and for the crown of the cap, you will use simple white lawn, and the Things for the collar ana the cuffs will be cut exactly Ike tne outside. 4,

 Pin the different pieces of the rattcrn firmly into place, then mark the line of small circles near each edge carefully for that line of circles indi- cates the basting and the sewing line. and that basting and sewing line is all important in any garment. It means a perfect outline and it means smart ness. Mark all the other indications in a similar way including the notches- Notches never should be cut, for cutting them injures the seam edge. On gingham or such material you can mark the basting line with a tracing wheel and you can always mark the notches and the other indications with crayon. Cut around the outside edges of the tissue, then carry the markings through to the under side, and to do this, first pin through and mark before removing the pattern from the ma terial. Fold the pattern and lay it aside.

The Government is doing its part.
 1t is putting out pamphlets that are instructive and helpful. It is teaching how to cook and what to cook. It is giving us reasons for all that we are asked to do. It seems small thing for each head of the household to bend her energy toward just that con- servation which is essential. # we are to maintain the health and the vigor of those at home as we'll as of the army during the time of struggle. We. who are sheltered and protected, who are not in contact with conditions. do not all realize the importance of this conservation. It is we'll that every effort should be made, to impress it

For the uniform, you will have cut the sleeves off on the first lines of circles from the lower edge. Close the seams, bringing the notches exactly together, gather the outer edges be- tween the notches. Use the double seams already described, then baste in the arm-holes with the single circles at the shoulder seams and the notches exactly meeting, but take the seam on the wrong side and haste on the cir- cles, holding the sleeves easy over the shoulders. They are cut a little larger than the arm-holes in order to provide the fullness that is necessary for com- fort. If you cannot hold that fullness evenly, gather the curved edges and draw up to the size of the arm-hole. Stitch on the circles and stitch again close to the edge of the seam, then trim off neatly and whip closely. If you like the flat finish. turn the seams up under the apron, slash occasionally to provide spring, baste and stitch flat on the right side one-quarter of an inch within each seam.
 Lay the collar over the lining, right sides together then haste or pin into place and stitch on the circles, or, if

Turn the seam allowance on the re- maining edges under and arrange over the fronts with the upper edges at the circles as indicated by the num- hers in the diagram.

Chambries and ginghams are usually about thirty-one inches in width. The material indi- cated on the envelope is thirty-six inches wide, but the same general plan will hold for the thirty-one inch width.
