"HUSIFFS" FOR THE MARINES

Washington, d. G., September g.
Will you make "hussiff" for the Ma
rines? The Navy League has issued
call for $500 "husiffs" for the Marines
now training for service in France.
''Husiff" is the marines way of say
ing housewife" and a housewife" in
the Marine Corps means the sewing
kit with needles, thimble, thread and
scissors, that makes it possible for
the L. s. Marine to be the smartest
looking soldier in the world
The sewing kit wanted by the Navy
League is made of cotton khaki, sew
ed with red thread-the Marine Corps
uniform colors The kit is thirteen
inches long and seven and a half
inches wide. A top flap folds over the
pockets and covers the contents of
the kit. A red tape twenty inches
long, sewed on the back of the CEN
ter pocket, ties the kit when rolled
up.
A pair of blunt pointed scissors four
inches long; number one needles; a
thimble; an assortment of safety pins,
cards holding heavy khaki, black, and
white thread; and two safety pins
strung with khaki buttons comprise
the contents of the kit.
These kits cannot be purchased by
the government, and in order to pro-
vide the men going to the firing line
with these useful comforts women
workers throughout the country must
make them. Local Sections of the
Navy League, and all other women
who will, are urged to begin this
work. The Comforts Committee of the
Navy League at Washington will fur
nish explicit directions as to how to
make the sewing kits, and will secure
the distribution of them to the sailors
and marines through individuals
channels in accordance with the in
structions of the Secretary of the
Navy.
