For instance, Miss Doris Krome, a sophomore, sews in her spare time, on her own initiative, with attractive results, including a dressy fur-trimmed black velveteen dress. She also has made a black fur jacket and styles her formal gowns as well. And in making her own wardrobe, she is able to plan color schemes that complement her auburn hair, something that is often difficult to do with ready-made clothes. Then there is that attractive suit which Miss Betty Parkhurst, a freshman, is wearing these days. The navy and white shepherd's plaid suit was tailored in the beginning clothing construction class at Butler, under the supervision of Miss Kathryn Journey, associate professor of home economics. Miss Mary Catherine Stair, a senior, has "whipped up a little red suit destined for popularity this- spring. She is enrolled in the advanced clothing class and not only designs and makes her own costumes but makes the pattern directions for them as well. Those are only & few examples of the way the young women are putting chic in their wardrobes with their own hands.

Expect Increase in Classes

Although a relatively small per cent of the Butler coeds are now enrolled in the sewing courses, the

a definite increase as a result of the “fashion emergency.” Now, it is difficult to see the “superiority” the coed designers have over their campus “sisters” for the “standardization” of women’s clothes is not yet general. But come fall, those who can make their own, are sure they will have something of an edge.

Advantage to Tailoring Own

Miss Journey suggests several advantages in tailoring one’s own clothes: -1. Economy. from a fourth to a half less than a comparable ready-made one. 2. Opportunity to select better materials. 3. Better workmanship is pessible. 4. More artistic designs and originality can be achieved. 5. Better fit. Yes, the coed of the ferties is certainly a lot more ingenious than her sister of the thirties. Or perhaps necessity regily is the mother of invention. «

Children’s Bureau Lines Up Program

Progrant. The Children’s Bureau of the De-

partment of Labor is positive in}: thinking it does. The Office of} Civilian Defense is also emphatic: in insisting that it does. "And the | Public Health Service, the Office of || Education, and many private wel-

fare agencies clamor for positive action “in defense of the future.” The trouble is that “just anybody” can’t conduct a child health or a pre-natal clinic. Running a nursery school, too, is a job for some one trained in modern psychology. [Even planning and preparing - hot school lunches takes some. knowledge of nutrition and domestic science. Dr. Martha Eliot, Associate Chief of the Children’s Bureau, talking before a Washington conference on Women’s Activities in Civilian Defense, said unequivocally, “There is a shortage of skilled workers that

Call for Volunteers

Another call for volunteers appears to be the only answer to this problem of safeguarding young Americans. And, going about the job in a methodieal way, the OCD aided by thé Children’s Bureau has formulated a new course for Americans who wish to lend a hand on the home front—an 80-hour training program for child care volunteers

The new booklet concentrates chiefly on turning out helpers in maternity and baby clinics and nursery schools—all fields wher® the really “little fellers” are involved. "Behind this concrete program lies years of work by the Children’s Bureau and by hundreds of social workers and educators who pool their findings at periodic sessions of the White House Conference on Children in a Democracy. For years they have been dinning away in the ears of the mothers of America, “These protective foods are essential for your children, and for you, above all during pregnancy: Milk, green and yellow vegetables, fruits—especially citrus fruits and tomatoes—whole-grain or enriched bread and cereals, eggs and codliver oil or some form of vitamin D.” Long Range Program

They have long recognized the family as the nation’s “most farreaching educational institution,” and sought to fortify it economically, psychologically, culturally and socially. They have asked such every-day questions as “What do the high school boys and girls in your community eat between meals—fruit, sandwiches and milk—or candy, urgers, and pop?” Now, the pith and substance of these recommendations has been summed up—called a “Defense Program for the Children of America” in keeping with today’s defenseconsciousness—but ofiered as a longrange national guide to make future Americans as well as future America worth fighting for.

to get a better-pa; position, Mrs, Jones thought it was wonderful. When the daughter confessed she

kind of hated to leave her job,

since her boss had always been so nice to her, her mother said quite practically, “Well, if he wants to keep you he'll just have to pay you what you can get elsewhere.” ? But Mrs. Jones didn’t reason that way when. her maid came to her to give notice. - She didn’t see the situation in a business-like light at all. She resented the fact that Hilda, a creature of little spirit’ times, had suddenly gain confidence in her own wort was out to get as much for’ labor as she could.

MRS. JONES called her new attie tude “cocky”—and perhaps it was, but no more so than her own daughter’s self-assured air when she found that there were other jobs to be had than the one she had worked so hard to hold on to for three years. Mrs. Jones didn't see that Hilda was just a worker who would have been a complete sap not to exchange a job long on hours and short on pay for one with shorter hours and better wages. She saw only that she had ale ways been “good” to Hilda, accord= ing to her own ideas of being “good” and that Hilda was an ungrateful wretch for daring to think of bet tering herself, The trouble with Mrs. Jones is she has never held down a job her self. So she’s down on Hilda—and on servants as a class—and she doesn’t know what the world 1s com= ing to.
