Bureau of Home Economics
Created to Look After Her
Many Interests
; WASHINGTON The woman in
the, kitchin and elsewhere in the
Ij houBeold is now officially recogniz.
ied by th administration. This does
I jJnot efersolsly or even primarily to
I '"hired .help". It refers to house.
'"Vi wives who run their own homes 'in
the ' good old-fashioned way. This)
I official recognition comes through the
Department of 'Agriculture in the
f form of the creation of Home Econ. 1
f omics
. - Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
announces this is not to be a subor.
i dinate bureau but is to be placed on
1 an equality with all other bereaus of
the department and will have at the
' head of it a woman who not only
(; C understands, . first-hand, everything
about housekeeping but who is also
" possessed with executive ability and
a vision sufficiently broad and sym.
, pathetie to make the bureau most
helpful to all housewives of the coun
'try.
The government hbs a Woman's
bureau in connection with the Labor
department which handles the prob
j lems of the woman who works out.
side her .home the woman in indus.
" tryr-the woman in the mills and
lauadries and shops and stores. The
Proposed new Bureau p f borne Econ.

by Secretary Wallace intends to be
quite as comprehensive in looking
after women who work lin their home
its the Woman's' bureau in connection
"with .the Labor department is blook
ing after, women who work outride
their feomM for a dauiy wag.
. In tha-pinon of the Department
of Agriculture there is more need
among women at the country for its
' prooeed .bureau than for any other
i' activity which the government "could
enter... In, the first pUee, there are
more housewives than mere are worn.
: en, in industries and stores. In the
second place, the activities and econ.
k omics of .housekeeping are more in
need of tome eentrajlxed aid and iV.
rection than activities of wpmen who
are employed In ' ijnieiry because
industry is organised of itself .while
the housework has never been-organ.

Work. on behall - of-onenl'has
grown steadily In the Department of
Agriculture. Some fime ago what
was called, for the, lack . of . better
name, the Office of Home Economics,
was treated as a part of tha agricul
ture extension; work. In-this'home
conemics work attention was cen
tered upon the studies of foods aiul
thmi orenaration. labor saving oe
Tices' for the household, studies of
dressmaking, etc. None' of- thU
work1 will be abandoned .. It wiill be
, rnn tinned and made more intensive
under the proposed new Bureau of
Horn Economics. ,In addition .to
these activities, however, the new bu
reau will make a specialty of all proo.
Jems which affect the housewife.
Although the bureau is to be iden
i tided with' the Department of Agri
culture, Secretary Wallace announces
r that it is. not to be used exclusively
, for women" on -the farms. u i
created as much for help of-house
wives to cities. One of its chief func
, tions .will be the-assisting of city
la their marketing and iin
nractidnc other economics wKMn
their household, owing to we :
that such a large proportion of house
jr wives'ln the city must" depend upon
' their own resources, - ingenuity - and

Rules Promulgated by ' U. i S
Railroad Labor Board Lfctt
November Fixed Seniority
. Status -
WASHINGTON There is a' great
deal of confusion in the public Wnd
concerning lie "seniority rights"
of railroad employes. To state the
matter concisely, seniority in each
class of railroad employes means that
those who have served longer in the
continuous employ of a railroad stand
at the head of the list in the order
of their length of service, Standing
at the head of the list means that,
they have first call upon promotions,
desirable transfers . and continuous
employment. , V. .
For the classes of men now on
strike the seniority rules were .pro.
mulgated by the United States Raul,
road Labor Board on Novmber 29,
1921, m addendum No. 6 to decision
No. 222. . - - ' . . '
The chief provisions are:
"Rule 17. Employes serving on
night shifts desiring day work shall

The hay and grass crops are un.

duce as much as it' consumes. This
yesr the acreage is less than last
year, and thir m spite of the boll
weevil advance and -the generally
prevailing non profitable crop con.
ditions. Safe farming must begin
by producing the foods and feeds
needed on the farms. Hsys and
grasses grow either voluntary or from
a wonderful variety of legume and
cultivated grasses. Alfalfa grows
well and yields cuttings, but few
farmers will grow it in place of tne
expensive cultivated crops.

Persons who wish to go to the cape

It is the intention of the contrac
