be law unto himself. Both Herbert C.
Hoover and DIR. Ray Lyman Wilbur
were born in Iowa, and both graduated
from Stanford University, of which DIR.
Wilbur is now president. Mr.. Hoover
received his A. 3. degree one year after
Mr.. Hoover's graduation in 1895.
AS evidence of the caliber of the men
and women who will assist in the home
economics work of the food admins
tration. the makeup of the advisory
committee on that subject affords a
good example. On this committee are
Josephine T. Barry, chief of the divi-
sion of homo economies, University of
Minnesota: Dr. C. F. Langworthy, chief
of the bureau of home economics, De-
partment of Agriculture; Isabel Ely
Lord. director of household arts and
science. Pratt Institute. Brooklyn:
Katherine J. MacKay, dean division Of
home economics, Iowa State Agricul-
tural College; Abby Marlatt. director Of
department of home economics, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and Martha Van
RENSSELAER,. director department home
economics. Cornell University. All have
been serving in a voluteer capacity.
Now Mrs. Jones, strong as will be the
burden resting upon her, is not going
to sustain the entire shock of the ma
tional food campaign. Mr.. Jones and
the little Joneses must help 1t is point
ed out that while the women of the
country are the chief food purchasing
agents, to the extent of buying about
80 per cent of food products, they must
meet the wishes of husband and chill
dren. That is why effort will be made
later to reach men through their own
lodges, clubs and unions, and the chill
dren through the schools
1t is realized, too, that for all she will
do Mrs. Jones is going to get much less
glory than that which accrues to the
men on the battleeld she will help to
iced by her economies. Therefore the
Kitchen uniform. as well as the ensig-
mn itNh nt- VIII RI
ton to wear. has been devised.
This official uniform of Americas
army of women is pretty and practical.
In itself. it Is an example of con-
servation. 1t costs. cap and all. from
90 cents to S1.25. dependent upon the
material used. 1t is made to conserve
time and to give dignity to household
labor. Patterns are to be furnished
for this apron for 10 cents. These NAV
be had from the food administration
now. and later from patternmakers.
Some of this uniforms advantages. as
described by its designers in the food
administration office. are these:
Can be worn either as dress or
as an overall apron. Is made of wash
able material, fast colors. Material
inexpensive. Dress. blue cotton ma
terial. collar and cuffs of pique; cap
OF Wn1te lawn, with p1Que Gun: collar
and cuffs PRETTY pointed Can be
easily ironed. as dress opens out like
coat. and cap unbuttons leaving two
fiat pieces of cloth; Has double front.
SO that when one front panel becomes
soiled the other can be placed outside"
The uniform will bear on the sleeve
and on the cap an embroidered shield
showing the United States shield sur
rounded by yellow heads Of wheat
This insignia is the official shield of
the food administration. The buttons
will have 1t. and the signs to be placed
in the windows will bear 1t, surmount-
ed by the words, Member of the u. s.
