A complete clothing issue for a
soldier, running the supply
gamut from the highest-priced
identification tag, was placed on
display in the lobby of the Ho
fc.l Sheraton, where the federa
tion met.
This was probably the first op
portunity for the representatives
of the Woman’s clubs and for
every citizen passing through the
hotel lobby to obtain a first
hand picture of what .it takes to
furnish our fighting men with
the most durable equipment in
the world.
Major Anderson said American
women have always aided their
sons and husbands when it' be
came necessary to fight for home
and country, and history tells us
that during the early days cf our
republic, whole regiments were
frequently outfitted with the
handiwork of sisters, wives and
sweethearts of the fighting men.
“I am sure that the same urge
that inspired those patriotic wo
men of yesteryear is now at
work within your own breasts,
for while times havie changed,
the basic emotions that motivate
American men and women have
not.
“Today it is impossible for you
to literally manufacture cloth
ing and (equipment for a regi
ment of men, for times have
changed. We are fighting a mod
ern war one that demands
that every article of clothing and
equipment be of standard quali
ty and design. American woman
hood is to be congratulated on
its ability to grasp this fact

method that conform to the age
in which w.e now live and fight.
