SAILORS MAY WEAR KHAKI.-Navy
pepaitment medical officers have been
s,udying the present uniforms with view
10 their adaptation to service needs. 1t
has been found that the blue uniform is
not suitable for tropical use, being toe
warm and unwashable. White uniforms
sre too conspicuous. cannot be kept clean
and are chilly in the evening. So IT is
recommended that the tars be furnished
with army khaki or olive drab suits, with
ian shoes and campaign hat something
like the one used by the army.
SAVING IN NAVY CHARTS Captain
J J. Knapp. the naval photographer ex-
meets 10 save the government greatly in
supplying charts FOR naval vessels. The
photographer has developed a process of
producing the charts by photo-lithography
st about one-twentieth Of the cost of the
present copper plate engraved chart. The
copper plate charts are produced at the
rate OF eighty day while the phOto-litho-
graph reproduction. which is said TO be
more accurate. can be turned out at the
rate OF twelve hundred an hour.
