Business women of today are fashion-wise. That proverbial best foot forward is of fundamental importance to the young career woman, whether she is applying for a position or is seeking to advance in her chosen field. The importance of good clothes sense to the professional woman was discussed by Miss Marion A. McKinney, director of the Women's Travel Department of the Union Pacific Railroad in Chicago, when she spoke to Iowa State home economics students recently.

The Chinese choice of food and methods of preparation are an interesting contrast to the American diet, according to C.L. Feng, a graduate student at Iowa State.

For the first time in the history of the United States Army, dietitians are being placed in G.I. kitchens and officers' mess. A graduate of Iowa State, Eleanor Peregoy Wallace, is the first woman to be offered such a position. Her task is to teach and train the army cooks in three convalescent centers recently acquired by the Army Air Forces and placed under the management of Major Gordon Stouffer.
