The Bureau Of Home Economics
Is one of the IS divisions or bureaus
into which the Federal Department
OF Agriculture is now organized. For
the first SO years of United States
history agriculture received next to
no practical aid. George Washing
ton did propose "the general en-
couragement of agriculture" in his
frst annual message to Congress.
but not till 1888 were anv funds
actually earmarked for this specific
purpose. In that year $1,000 was
appropriated "for collecting and dis
tributing seeds, prosecuting agricul.
tural investigations and procuring
agricultural statistics"
Created First
In 1862.
The Department Of Agriculture
itself was created by an act which
President Lincoln signed on Nav
l5, 1862. BY this time the appro-
priation had grown to the tidy sum
for those days. of $4,000. A COM
missioner headed the new depart
ment, but in 1889 the Importance Of
agriculture in the Nations life was
recognized as requiring the appoint
ment OF an officer of cabinet rank.
Agriculture Is now one of the 10
major executive departments of the
Federal Government.
1t administers no fewer than so
regulatory statutes of widely vary
ing range. These include, for ex-
ample, the Meat Inspection Act. the
Packers and Stockyards Act. the
Plant Quarantine Act, the Import
Milk Act, the Steel Importation
Act, the Migratory Bird treaty, the
Naval Stores Act, the Food and
Drugs Act and others.
In this setup the Bureau of Home
Economics Is doing yeoman service
for the country's 100000 homes.
Not only does it conduct scientific
studies on vital questions of diet
and health, it translates these find
lngs into on-scientific language
which the average homemaker can
understand. and its faithful work
behind the Washington scene raises
the daily round, the common task"
to high level of national i'm
portance.

Dorothy Dix Says
Hard Work is Cure for Women
Sometimes Called 'Neurotics'

Is the cure for what ails the mod
ern, dissatisfied, unhappy. restless
woman work? Is 1t idleness and
not some obscure disease that fills
sanatoriums and packs doctors Of
fees with neurotic women? Is it
having nothing else to do except to
count their own heartbeats that
sends so many women to Reno?
A man who is married to one Of
these lilies of the field, who tolls
not and neither does she spin any
thing except complaints, believes
that it is. He thinks that what's the
matter with women is not having a
Job that keeps them on the jump
and doesn't give them time to brood
over and magnify their minor and
major ills.
He says: my wife and I are an
average well-to-do couple with no
children. I make plenty of money
and am a good provider. I give my
wife a nice home with all the house.

Helpful Suggestions
From Some Experts.
However, for really serious discus
sion asked the head of one depart
ment what she would advise the girl
who was just starting to college to
do. Here are few of the things:
Buy good quality clothes in perfect
but not too fussy styles.
Consult the college shops for in
formation on the type of clothes
suited to you, your school and your
budget. Don't buy haphazardly.
for there are too many people wait
ing to help.
Don't take along anything you dis
like. It's fatal to your morale and
often to your appearance.
Don't think you have to have all
new clothes. Lots of your last years
things will do.
Read up on the fashion maga-
zines. They'll give you ideas that
can be carried out in the stores.
Tag everything and you won't
have trouble in locating your best
sweater in the room four doors
down.
Take along complete manicure
and cosmetic kit. incidentally, look
at the well-known cosmetics done
up in kit that looks like book
1t contains all the essentials
cleansing cream, night cream, To-
ton, foundation, powder, lipstick,
nail polish and hand lotion. The
package is one of the most suitable
and attractive we've seen, the brand
famous one-and the price is with
in the budget. P. S.: Tell Uncle
Harry it's a perfect going-away gift
for you.
Have loads of lingerie, pajamas
sleeping pajamas with hoods, legs
and feet. BY the way, college girls
tell us that they much prefer wrap
around robes to Upper styles, and the
flannel ones are grand.
And about your hose. One of the
stores here in town is featuring hose
that have been processed to last
much longer. They come in all the
new fall shades, in three and four
thread weights and in long lengths.
The process is said to be a redis-
covery of Chinese process of pre-
serving silk-and the store Is en-
thusiastic about the appearance and
lasting qualities of this product.
Sounds perfect for college
So you see, employer, m'friend-
why your fashion editor has gone
slightly of the beaten track. OF
course I can't go dashing off to the
campus, but I can try to look as
much like the little darlings as pos
sible. But don't worry. I'll get
over 1t.
Yours with a rah-rah-rah,

smartest kind of standby fashion
for growing girls and this is such a
new and different version, with its
saucy little bows to fasten the
bolero-and another bow under the
chin.
The round collar, puff sleeves and
flaring circular skirt are extremely
becoming to girls of the rapidly
lengthening age. Gingham, percale
and pique are smart cottons for
the opening days Of school, and this
is such a good pattern that you'll

Embarrassment
1t May Cause
BY ANGELO PATRI.

There comes a time In the life of
every boy and girl when note-writing
is delightful pastime. The day is
lost that brings no note from the
chosen friend, usually, and rightly
50, of the opposite sex. 1t seems a
shame to throw cold water on what
seems so innocent and so delightful
game, and yet, a dousing with
cold water is just what it needs.
Boys and girls in this stage of
growth are dreamy and vague and
have no idea OF what ails them.
Consequently they have no means of
protecting themselves from the mis-
takes these daily notes are likely to
bring down on their heads. And it
Is mistake to write to the. girl of
your choice, Il love you, I love you,
I love you" ending with a marching
army of KS. It really is a mistake.
For the girl who writes such notes 1t
is likely to become most en-
barrassing mistake.
This age is not the age of dis
cretion, and it is far from wisdom.
The secret is such a charming one
that it must be shared with ones
dearest chum. The important fact,
50 often overlooked, is that this
chum has chum, or an intimate
friend, and that delightful secret is
shared, and before long it is the
property of the whole community
Now writing, you are my honey
sweet, my love, my darling" is one
thing when done in the privacy of
ones own heart and mind, but it is
another, and a sadly different sort
Of thing when that palpitating line
is read aloud, in your presence by the
gray-headed and austere head of the
school. Imagine your feelings.
Imagine too, your feelings when
you learn that your trusted idol has
shown your note to that 'nintimate
friend" Don't be so sure that he
won't, or that she won't. They all
do. And they all grin, too; whether
in embarrassment or derision, de-
pends upon the time and the place
and the feeling of both.
The worst thing about the whole
pretty business Is that the object of
devotion is more than likely to be
displaced by another soon. And
then what? Get the notes back?
Impossible. They are lost, or mis-
laid, and anyway the other person
does not consider them important.
He Gid not write them, you see.
OF course it Is fun, but it is likely
to be anything but fun before the
end Of the game. When you, a
blushing adolescent boy or girl, feel
impelled to write note to the OBJ
ject Of your heart interest, write it.
It will relieve your mind. Then
carefully tear it into little pieces and
drop those pieces into oblivion.
Writing indiscriminatingly, vol
uminously, is to write indiscreetly
and that sort of indiscretion bears
bitter fruit. Hold your pen long
before you write fond note to your
hearts chosen. Wait until you see
him face to face to say all you feel.
Then you won't have to repent your
reckless outpourings in the day Of
change and Of separation. If you
must speak to the absent one use the
telephone. That annoys the family,
but it puts some limit on your emo
tional expressions and saves you
future chagrin. Don't write. Talk
it out. Better yet, when you feel
this coming over you pick out a Job
and bury yourself in it for a while.
Nature Is not to be fully trusted,

that its gotten me into the spirit OF
the thing. And if you can look at
the campus classics for fortnight
and not get into the spirit you're a
better man than I.
1t surprised me to find how much
attention these fashions are get
ting. Nearly all the shops are de-
voting whole departments stated by
college girls to the idea of sending
Betty Coed off with the proper
wardrobe. And they're doing per-
fectly grand job :. OF course, told
you about a week ago what some OF
the trends are and tried to explain
what was 'in" and also what was
"out" Remember that you dis
covered plaids were important, bus
tle-effect dresses popular and knee
length socks the final touch? Well,
sir, just to show you that I'm still
earning my salary, here are some OF
the other notes I jotted down on
your favorite memorandum pad:
Frinstance, you take the case OF
fireman's red. Now there is a color
that needs no description. All you
have to do is look out your Office
window when one of those sirens
blow and you'll know what I mean.
It's terrific. They're using 1t for
wool outfits, velveteen evening gowns,
trimming on black dresses and hats
and even-noW don't faint-cash-
mere sweaters are made in this spec
tacular shade. The plaids-Which
are probably more prevalent here
than in Scotland at this point-also
repeat the new shade :. So be pre-
pared.
Costume Jewelry More
Tricky Than Ever.
Then, Boss, there's the matter OF
costume jewelry. College girls can't
live without it and this year it's more
irresistible than ever. Imagine
bracelets, necklaces and clips made
out of little wooden blocks with the
A-B-C's all over them. Fancy those
little bracelets labeled with the days
OF the week :. The labels open up
to disclose celluloid disk on which
she can write her engagement for
the day Try to picture heavy
necklaces and bracelets made up of
nuts, bolts and screws and then ask
me why I've got the college spirit!
And look at the suits Soft woods,
serviceable corduroys and flannels.
Worn with luscious cashmere or
angora sweaters they're perfect for
campus activities. And you ought to
see the date dresses of faille, crepe,
sheer woods and practically every
material.
Despite all you've heard, however,
college girls have not gone too sane
and sensible .. They still buy size
40 sweaters when they wear size 80;
rejoice in scotch plaid skirts and
silly little hats; want large, loose
coats with hoods-and, in general,
refuse to abandon the college ira
dition of wardrobe. I don't say
they're not fashion conscious. Look
at the good" dresses, the snappy
formals-and do they 90 for bustles
