Organized on July /, 1928, the
Bureau Of Home Economics is under
the direction of DR.. Louise Stanley,

How many even of the hundred
thousand Federal employees who
scurry back and forth from their
daily jobs are familiar with the
kitchens maintained by the Bureau
Of Home Economics in the Depart
ment of Agriculture Building, where
cooking, canning, roasting and SINH
lar home-like tasks are carried on
from time to time on behalf of the

Mrs. Every Woman's
Kitchen Duplicated.
If a tour of inspection of these
kitchens begins with the vegetable
laboratory this is found to be a
replica of an up-to-date kitchen
on much larger scale. There are
white enameled sinks against the
walls at each end of the long room
work tables down the center. gen.
erous cupboard space for pots, pans
and dishes, and a veritable battery
OF stoves-gas and electric. In the
carrying out of every experiment
both types of fuel are used, so that
the different consumption costs can
be checked and recorded for the
benefit of the worker in the home
kitchen.

10 years Always trying out new
varieties from seedlings, the Bureau
OF Plant Economics works in the
closest cooperation with the Bureau
OF Home Economics which does the
cooking. Soybeans are another sub
Ject of constant experimentation
and the various vegetables in season
come in for their due share of
attention. Testing for cooking and
table qualities is done by a board
OF judges. composed of Department
OF Agriculture employees. They are
both men and women selected from
an extensive age range, so that as
large a cross section of the public
as possible may be represented. For
service on this unique panel the
principal requirement is a keen
sense of taste. Having satisfied this.
the applicants are put through a
special testing course.
The meat unit of the expert
mental kitchens is an intriguing
place. The eye of the average house
wife lights up when she sees about
a dozen ovens each with a glass
door. In every oven a juicy-looking
roast s1zzles away, a meat ther-
mometer protruding from the top.
Canning Laboratory
Is Busy Place.
In the meat-canning labora tory
as many as 1900 cans of beef and
pork are put down at the one time
by the steam pressure method which
has been found to be the best for
both meats and non-acid vegetables.
IhlS intensive research in house

her doting mother-when it comes
to the selections, for she insists
upon coordination in her wardrobe

All these things we discovered
through talking with the efficient
manager and assistants in one of
the best equipped college depart
ments we've ever seen. Located in
one of our local stores, the depart
ment sells nothing; acts only in an
advisory capacity. They are so
systematic that each girl who comes
in for advice is asked to register,
giving, among other information,
her favorite diversions and sports,
cosmetics and perfumes. To this
the staff adds the type of clothes
best suited, whether they be classic
or extreme modes, and jots down the
colors of her wardrobe and sizes
The college girl is asked to list the
clothes from last season that she
plans to use again, and some of
the girls even bring in swatches of
material so that color schemes can
be worked out.
