To work for Uncle Sam as a con-
sultant on the design and develop
ment of women's CT attire she was
released from her position as the
buyer of womens and children's
clothing in the J. c. Penny clothing
store chain.
With special emphasis upon the
greatest possible usefulness under
all clipates and conditions, she is
checking the success of the uniforms
and service clothing for almost 100,-
600 women in the Army.
Miss Alexander believes 1t is pos
sihle to plan clothes for women, In
the Army or out of it, so that they
may be attractive in appearance, no
matter how utilitarian their purpose.
Studies Field Conditions.
To get an actual closeup of condi-
tions she has bivouacked with WACS
and Army nurses in field encamp-
ments where they are having their
dress rehearsals for actual warfare
conditions. She also has inter-
viewed feminine wearers Of Army
uniforms aboard hospital ships,
strains and at airfields.
For example, Miss Alexander is
responsible to great extent for the
replacement of the starched white
uniform for Army nurses in combat
areas, with the new field hospital
uniforms of brown and white, PIN
striped seersucker.
Useful as we'll as good looking,
these uniforms can be washed quick
ly and require no starching or IRON
ing. Fashioned in streamlined,
wrapover style with long tailored
tie at the side, there are no buttons
or snaps to get lost. Yet, the out
fit is smart enough looking to be
worn for street wear with match
ing jacket when occasion demands.
A cap of like material, laced at the
back goes with this uniform. 1t
spreads out fiat to wash and does
not have to be starched or ironed,
either, just folded neatly into shape
again.
Variety Of Uniforms Needed.
Feminine uniform wearers driv-
ing trucks and jeeps, doing motor
repairs, or making weather observa-
tions in midwinter, must have diff
ferent types of clothing from those
doing an office job in North Africa" i"
Miss Alexander says
yet, they all want to look mill
tary without losing their identity
as women. 1t so happens that this
is the effect the Army wishes to
achieve and has constantly in mind
for them"
What applies to clothes also ap-
plies to shoes, according to this ex-
pert. Nurses on Bataan and in
other combat zones at first found it
necessary to wear mems field shoes
to protect them from mud and in
sects. Now there Is a field issue
shoe for the. nurses about which
they are enthusiastic. They are
also provided with canvas leggings
which they lace over two-piece,
olive-drab, herringbone slacks.
Frills Still Desired.
Miss Alexander doesn't believe
American women's military expert
ence will in any way change her
liking for frilly and pretty frocks.
In fact she expects to see them
making a dash for fowered hats
and gaily colored ensembles as soon
as they are mustered out Of serv-
ice.
She believes, however, that women

~ task when he took over the

way the navy was withholding

little II did give out. He had
10 straighten this muddle and
also convince the country that
any news-withholding was in

For instance, he called on
newspaper publishers all over
the country. He told them. pri-
vately. the truth OF the actual
damage at Pearl Harbor, but
said the real reason for keeping
quiet was that, If the facts were
