How Leggings Save
Soldiers Lives

7 EGGINGS and puttees play a very
important part in the Uniform of
A@ the United States Marine Corps
for the protection Of the men against
tropical diseases while on foreign shore
service.
To the civilian mind leggings appear
as purely a decorative adjunct to the
uniform, useful only in horseback riding.
II is very true that they are hot and un-
comfortable to wear continually in the
tropics, but 1t is there that they are most
needed.
Many OF the most dangerous tropical
diseases are transmitted by the bites of
insects. Among these are malaria, yel-
low fever bubonic plague, hookworm,
elephantiasis and tropical ulcer. FIeas
and mosquitoes are the prime carriers,
and make their first attack upon the
ankles, thence working their way up over
the whole body.
The ordinary flea jumps about one foot
high in attacking men and animals. Al
though It is very possible for it to work
its way up to the waist outside end enter
the clothing above the belt line. yet the
chances are against It Ordinarily 1t will
drop on or be brushed on.
Against mosquitoes and infected dirt
and dampness leggings are good protec-
Con to the ankles. They lessen the dan
ger of snake bite in the jungles. take the
place of boots in protection against mud
and water and make the attack of the
flea so roundabout that his chances OF
success are much reduced.
Leather puttees, so universally worn
when horseback riding, are worn by all
officers in the Marine Corps while on
shore duty, and are even more desirable
than the heavy khaki leggings. 1t is i'm
possible for the ordinary small snake or

only physical, but mental and moral, for
IL is impossible for what is base and un-
worthy to enter where truth and beauty
are established"

New York, Sept. ga strike was
declared at $50 o'clock tonight by
unionized employees of the subway and
elevated railway lines operated by the
Interborough Rapid Transit company
in this city. About 1900 of the 11,7o0
carmen in the company's pay voted at
a mass meeting to quit work immedi-
ately.
Officials of the union asserted that,
with the possible exception OF the
lines in Brooklyn, New Yorks electric
transportation facilities would be com
pletely paralyzed by morning. They
were confident, they said, that the
motormen and conductors on the sur
face lines in Manhattan, Harlem and
the Rronx also would strike through
sympathy.
