Sailors Decline
To Wear Pajamas
So Navy Will Soon Sell 10000
Pairs To Some One Who
Appreciates EN-.

Seventy thousand suits of pajamas are
going to waste In the United States
navy. Every battleship and cruiser has
bales OF them stored in their slop chests.
The reason Is that the tars refuse to
wear any such contraption.
Two years ago orders were issued that
pajamas be provided for enlisted men.
and It was assumed that this article Of
night apparel would soon become very
popular. Something like 100000 pairs
were purchased. and sailors were noti-
Ned they could draw them whenever
they liked.
For a time there was no demand, but
finally some of the men discovered a
use for the garments. About 30, 900 pairs
were distributed. Then II was found
that seAmen were using the pajamas as
underwear; others wore them while
coaling ships.
The Navy Department will soon offer
1000 suits OF paJamas for sale to the
highest bidder.
