The army clothing stores IN PimHco have pre-
ssnted a scene OF unusual activity since the be-
ginning OF the war in Africa. From $50 in the
morning until about o'clock in the evening nearly
sixteen hundred women and young girls stitch
away at the khaki" from which the soldiers uni
forms are made, each soldier receiving one outfit
OF dark colored serge and another Of the khaki"
The latter material Is a kind OF dried cotton dyed
10 the regulation color. The uniforms completed at
the army clothing stores turned out az the
rate OF about twelve hundred each week. and are
cut By machinery. Once cut the material passes
through the hands of three workers, and Is com
nJsted IN short order. Contractors IN Ireland are
also turning out uniforms with great rapidity.
