The time is with us now when there is more interest than there has been in the past few months in how to keep food cold, both for the sake of economy and for palatability. The question is, What is the best method of keeping food cold? Refrigerators are being used more and more for this purpose for at least two reasons: they save the many, many steps which must be taken if the food is kept in a cool cellar or well, and they can be much more easily regulated as to temperature and dryness. We have learned to appreciate cool drinks and crisp vegetables on hot days so that the lack of ice as a means of making foods palatable would be a real hardship for many people, but the greatest value of a means of refrigeration comes in the enormous amount of food that can be saved by its use and the transportation of foods to far parts of the country.

Women as consumers need trained judgment for the selection of textiles of any kind, and in particular for the selection of household textiles, as sheetings, pillow cases, bed spreads, mattress covers, ticking, blankets, kitchen towels, hand towels, bath towels, bath mats, table cloths, napkins, table runners, luncheon sets, bridge sets, buffet covers, dresser scarfs, curtains for the kitchen, bedrooms, bath rooms, and living rooms of the house, draperies for windows and doors, upholstery, and rugs.

How fortunate is the woman who makes her own frocks. In the spring, when a young man's fancy is so unruly, the heart, soul and fancy of such a maid or matron are firmly held by plans for making clothes. Unless she is already the possessor of a sewing machine, the "woman-who-sews-at-home" begins a quest for the type which best suits her need and pocketbook.

Four groups of art students from Iowa State, with three in each group, took turns at decorating a suite of four rooms on exhibition in Younker's Department Store during the National Better Homes Conference in Des Moines, Man;h 8 to 11.

The majority of us would rise up and answer "Yes!" There seems to be no doubt in our minds. We reign supreme in the field of homemaking because we are Home Economics graduates -and yet!!! Below are the opinions of two male members of the Iowa State faculty, one who has a home economics graduate for a wife, and one who has not. Perhaps, after reading these, you would like to express your opinion on the matter. With which one do you agree?
