Citizens To Wear
Plainer Clothing
New York.—Americans, in or
der to keep their army the best
dressed in the world, are going
to wear clothes of more serious
color and sober cut
The time may even come -when
Mr, and Mrs. John Citizen will
be able to buy far fewer suits
and dresses but right now the
huge woolen industry is trying
to work out this problem;
“Conserve wool, make at least
20.000,000 soldier uniforms, be
sides millions of army overcoats
socks and other items, and at the
same time keep the supply of
civilian clothing undiminished.
The average American civilian
uses about nine pounds of wool
a year hut the government sup-
pliOs the soldier it training with
about 160 pounds and the soldier
in action with 279 pounds.
