Odd Co.tum. for Amer,c.r..

The latest thing in American military
uniforms Is probably that adopted by
the Samoan national guard. which has
Just been organized by Commandant
I1lley. The guard is II regularly organ
lied military company of the United
States and is armed with Lee rifles.
The uniform consists of white singlets,
blue lavalavas with red facings, red
sashes. red turbans and the usual cart
ridge box accoutremcnts.
The lavalava is II short skirt. which
in aboriginal times was made of ba-
mana leaves. but Is now made of cot
ton cloth. The effect is something like
Highland kilt except that the skirt
Is shorter. The singlet is sort of
dOublet or waistcOat.
Almost the first service the Tutuila
national guard was called on to per-
form was to arrest chief who had
destroyed the house and property of
another Samoan because the latter had
cooked anu eaten n fish which,, accord
ing to Samoan customs. was reserved
exclusively for the chiefs.
