Greater Activity in Clothing.
In the matter of clothing war has
brought the Navy even greater activ-
ity. This winter, for the first time in
many years, Uncle Sans jack tars re-
quire heavy winter clothing: for in
the peaceful winters since the Spanish
war most of our warships have spent
the cold months in the West Indies.
where chiefly the lightest summer
clothing was adequate and the amount
Of heavy winter clothing required very
small.
Each sailor serving in European
waters will have an outfit of special
clothing designed not only to keep out
the cold. but also windproof and water
the heavier winter clothing worn by
sailors in every allied fleet, and also
the special warm adjustable garments
used by aviators flying at attitudes of
front. SO that the American sailor will
not only be as dry. warm and COM
Portable as sailor ever was, but will
have the freedom Of movement and alb
by the birdmen. The winter OUTFIT con-
sists of a windproof suit with hood,
the outside Of which is made of imita-
ton leather and the inside lined with
sheepskin with the wool left on. His
feet will be protected with heavy, arc
tics to be worn over ordinary shoes,
and II he serves on a destroyer these
will be replaced with heavy leather sea
boots. His hands will be kept warm
with heavy wooden mittens, and under
meath he will have heavy wooden un-
dershirts. drawers. socks and, finally.
| a thick wooden blanket overshirt with
| an additional hood. This is the stand
ard winter outfit for general use, and
every condition Of service and weather
will be met by every type and weight
of garment designed to protect every
man in the service. from the sailor
working on deck in ordinarily cold
climates to the special outfits for Navy
aviators.
