big gains from commandeering and
new construction.
it is one of the most hopeful events
of recent months. it means that the
shipping title has turned. it repre-
sents a big step in the great game of
beating the U-bosts. It is now cer~

and supplies.

IS KHAKI THE ONLY WEN"
80 many women haveb een adopting
khaki for wear when on duty in some
war service or; merely for drill in
some of the home defense leagues that
the quantity of cloth so used is notice
ably affecting the supply. Because of
this a notice has been Issued by Brig.
Gen. John A Johnston, commander cl

ing women to forego the use of khaki.
lie says:
"Khaki ls the-distinctive badge, as
it were, of the soldier whose duty it

in the fulfillment of that duty. Not
one square foot of khaki should be
appropriated for uniformlug women.
if women are permitted to organize and
clothe themselves in khaki the sol-

lsinnni inquiry and national anxiety,
Gen. Johnston’s warning should ccl
italnly be heeded. There is great neeo
of women in war work, but there is no
lneed for them to wear the soldier's
garb. ‘
The use of the khaki color, whether
'in stout'cottoai or iii wool. by sol-
diers on the march and in action, has
been decided upon because the color'
is‘hard to see at a distance. it melts
into the "khaki," the dasocoior of the
ground. The army fabrics are. ex-
tremely durable. No wonder women
like to wear them. ant this is the
time for doing not. whatp eople like,
but what is best for all.
For a civilian. male or female, t
buy and wear anything made of the
army fabrics in these days is exactly
like tolling’the'coat from it soldier'sf
buck. ‘
There is plenty of good blue denim
and of slmlia‘rtextlles. There is plen-
ty of stout blue serge. ' Why should
not the women adopt something of
that‘kind? '»
