Government spends on clothes in wartime Washington fashions
AP Fashion Editor reports on wartime attire among three young women connected to government work. Lill May Jones, a Nebraska farm girl employed by OPA, spends about a quarter of her income on clothes and favors simple but feminine outfits. Fern Almquist, from Washington, works at OWT sites and wears cottons and stage-household play clothes, allocating a similar share of income to clothing. Margaret Wallers, a secretary, appears in the piece as another case.

Iron Those Kinks Out of Your Back
Betty Clarke advises homemakers to improve energy and posture during chores. Maintain a balanced stance, avoid arching the back, and test posture by keeping the waist in contact with the floor. Stand with weight on both feet, especially at the sink, stove, or ironing, to reduce backache and gain energy for evenings out.
