''CLIP AND KNIT"
 IS SLOGAN
Sailor and Marine Will Be Kept in Touch with his "Old Home Town" by Navy League Committee.

Washington, July 22-@Clip and Knit for the Sailor and Marine!o is now the slogan of the Comforts Com mittee of the Navy League of the United States.
 The League is now going to keep the Sailor and Marine, sent over the seas to battle for civilation, in touch with his town home town' or at least as far as possible in touch with events in the U. s. A. by sending him regu- larly clippings of every sort and des- cription from magazines and news papers. Everything from Mutt and Jeff to Sun editorials will be included in the sJackies' literary menu.
 This work was initiated by and is under the direct supervision of Cap tain c. H. Harlow, U. s. N. who has his office with the Comforts Committee headquarters of the Navy League of the United States in this city. His idea is to supplement the comfort out fits knit by patriotic women of the country, through the Comforts Com- n1ittee of the Navy League, with clip pings from newspapers and maga- zines, arranged in booklet form which would be of interest to the men on board ship.
 To reduce postage costs, and be- cause space in shipment is at a prem ium, it has been recommended that the stories be cut out separately from the book, stitched together with heavy thread, and, if possible, bound with brown paper to further protect it. The idea of this is to divide single maga- zine, which may contain several stor- inc, among all men on board a destroy CT, so that while one man is reading a story several of his ship mates may be doing the same thing from the same book. In this way man can easily thrush such booklet into his pocket, when suddenly called to quarters, or it can be passed around the ship in a short time while more bulky maga- l zine would have to be thrown aside. As these torpedo boats and destroyers are so numerous there is naturally a scarcity of magazines for distribution when one considers that each small boat may contain from eighty to one hundred men in it's crew
 A glimpse into the shop of the Com forts Committee headquarters of the Navy League finds several girls hard at work clipping articles on current topics, religious, scientific and sport ling subjects, as we'll as pictures from comic sheets which they paste to a sheet of heavy paper and place into an envelope in a file arranged according to these subjects. Others are busy separating the bindings from maga- zines and stitching the stories togeth- CT for the folders. Attractive pie lures cut from magazine covers and illustrations of stories to add to the apppearence of the cover are cut out
 
 and pasted on these folders. These little booklets are then placed care- fully in envelops which are sent to the various destroyers, torpedo boats and cruisers of the United States to be distributed amongst their respective crews.
 As naval officer, Captain Harlow thoroughly understands the need for this form of entertainment for the men Tt is surprisingly" says Capt. liar low, "how the people of the country are taking hold of this work and the great amount of enthusiasm manifest cus Ae ID SO CilSou1 dS AlS3 III IdC ', tlic't the Navy League hopes that enough material may be prepared to furnish not only the torpedo boats and des- troyers of the Navy but also the bat tleships with their crews of 1000 men.
 Clubs for this kind of work are be- Ling formed throughout the country to work in cooperation with the head quarters of the Comforts Committee in Washington, the work being sent there when completed for distribution by the Navy League to the Postmast- CT at New York City who is advised by the Navy Department as to what ships can he reached and their where abouts-
