DON I KNIT FANCY
SWEATERS FOR SOLDIERS

Atlanta, Ga, October 5.-Girls, if
you are knitting sweater for a SOL
der boy in Camp Gordon, the great
cantonment near Atlanta, where more
than 10000 troops of the National
army will be trained, take this tip and
don't knit fancy one.
Orders are said to have been issued
by the War Department placing the
ban on sweaters with fancy bands,
cute little colors and dashing hens
around, the bottom. 1t is expected that
an order will be issued any day for
bidding men at Camp Gordon to wear
the fancy kind. Already such orders
have been issued at Fort Oglethorpe.
Nothing but the regulation khaki
colored sweater, which is uniform and
standard, can be worn by a soldier,
for various reason. One is that fancy
colors furnish a target for German
bullets, and this alone wouIu seem TO
be sufficient.
