MORMONS IN ODD PETITION
Ask That Navy Regulations se
Waived to Permit Them to Wear
Their Own Underwear.

Salt Lake, Utah.-In order to permit
members of the Mormon church who
wear temple undergarments to enlist
in the navy, Lieut.. Edwin Guthrie of
the local navy recruiting office, has
asked authority from the bureau of
navigation to modify the regulations.
Lieutenant Guthrie reported that he
had had much discussion with the
young men who have applied for en-
iistment in the navy but who are
bound by religious scruples to wear
a prescribed type Of undergarment.
The church garment does not con-
form to the regulation navy garment,
and hence the lieutenant has taken
steps to have the regulations waived
so as to enlist Mormons who have
heretofore been advised by navy Of
fcials that they must comply with
United States regulations or stay out
Of the service.
The Mormon garment is similar to
a union suit, covering the entire body,
and Of uniform material.
