ID MAKE RECORD RUN
 ID COAST TOMORROW

Starting at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, Capt. G. R. Franklin, man. ager of the Arizona Engineering com pany; J. E. Keller, head of the auto mobile sales department, and two dis interested parties, will attempt to reach Los Angeles at o'clock Sunday afternoon in the record time of II hours flat. They will make the trip in stock car, Lexington Minute Man Six," for the purpose of demon strating what the car can do.
 Despite the fact that the roads from here to Los Angeles are in poor condi- tiOn in places, it is the plan to run through with stops for supplies only. The car will be an ordinary touring car, with windshield and top and nothing will be done to the machine while on the trip.
 Captain Franklin figures that he will make the trip without accident or mishap, without even the loss of a bolt on the car. Thirteen hours from Kingman to Los Angeles is the pres ent record, and it is the object of the trip to lower this by two hours.

ployment of additional factory hands and with facilities for putting about 15OO of them at work, Uncle Sam had to get along with 600, and large con tracts had to be made with outside firms for white and dungaree uniforms The department of labor has an i'm migration building at Charleston and the navy obtained the use of this build ing and is fitting it up with machin- cry for operation as an adjunct of it's Charleston clothing factory.
 Once the navy has it's clothes, it can and does issue them to the fighting men on a system that is liberal and flexible as any in the world. In the old peace times of the little navy Uncle Sam kept his clothing and fur nishing shop in what might be called a retail way. He knew not only how many uniforms and suits of underwear to order from month to month, but kept the supply on hand down to the minimum with storage facilities for only about 22,00O outfits.
 But war has changed all that. This storage place might be compared to a second-rate wholesale concern, with retail stores sending in carefully fig ured orders according to their needs, the retail stores being the individual ships of the fleet with the ships pay- master as storekeeper. But suddenly -Bingl War changed all that.
 Dump the population of a city of 100000 people down around a country general store, and let every individual in that population demand clothing from the country storekeeper, and you have fair illustration of what hap pened to the navy's clothing shop. But the navy made the demand. It got the clothes in quantity, quality, and va riety and it also got the system to take care of its customers.
 There is no red tape about clothing the fleet. The ships get their supplies 1 of clothing for sailors without requisi- tion, everything being figured out for

have the freedom of movement and absence of the sense of weight enjoyed by the birdmen. The winter outfit consists of 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 won over ordinary shoes, and if he serves on a destroyer these will be replaced with heavy leather seaboots. His hands will be kept warm with heavy woolen mittens and under meath he will have heavy wOolen un- dershirts, drawers, socks, and finally a thick woolen 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 ordinary cold eli mates to the special outfits for navy aviators.
 Uncle Sam has not only adapted every good idea in winter clothing found in other navies, but has added improvements to his own, and on top of that is issuing these winter clothes to the men free of charge for their use as long as they are exposed to weather where the regulation navy uniforms are not adequate. Getting this winter clothing ready in time, upon short mo- tice, and the disturbed conditions of wool supply and factory facilities brought by the war was mans sized job.
 The navy has a clothing factory in New York City where it is able to sup ply the fleet in ordinary times with everything required in the way of win ter uniforms. But when this factory was expanded to the utmost extent it could not provide emergency winter garments for the navy in war. So a great many contracts were placed with outside factories for overcoats, blue uniforms, and special garments. Even then there was difficulty in obtaining materials, such as raw wool and uni form cloth, and it required vigilant scouting of wool and textile experts to dig up the supply and see that the navy standards of quality were ad- hered to.
 With the navy increasing in size all summer at a rate which added each month nearly as many men as were comprised in the whole navy last win ter, there was even a greater demand for summer clothing. Uncle Sam makes most of the white uniforms for his sailors in a navy clothing factory in Charleston S. c. This factory was speededup first with overtime work, but the navy grew faster than the fac tory. Then it was operated night and day on a two-shift scheme, and it looked for a time as though the fac tory would keep up with the navy, but government regulations and labor con drtions caused complications in the en-

them by quantities based on the rec ords of the bureau of navigation with 10 per cent added on so that there will surely be enough of everything. With an item like mittens 50 per cent sur plus is furnished. The fleet gets the clothes freely and puts them on, and goes about it's war business warm and dry. All the bureau of supplies and accounts asks is that the clothing be inspected frequently to see that it is being taken care of, and also how it is wearing, and upon reports of these inspections it will base it's production of new outfits and also make altera- tions to secure greater wear and eff ciency.
 Some idea of the magnitude of the navy's clothing business may be gain ed from the following contracts award ed by the navy department since the war began:
