tion Of effort.

ing the bridges. Every precaution to
to insure the health Of the guards will
be urged upon the war department
by the state council
One OF the big problems to be con-
sidered by the council was the mat
ter of labor There is All unusual de.
! mand just now for all kinds OF labor
and some industries may suffer un.
less the situation is handled in bust
nesslike manner. The council will en-
| deevor to handle the matter and pre-
vent too many men from being drawn
from any particular section. The chair
man was asked by the council to urge
the mayors OF cities and towns of the
the state to rigidly enforce the vag.
rancy laws. The chairman Of the
committee on industries and exemp-
tions will handle this important sub.
ject with the proper authorities.
The discussion developed that there
is big work before the council Of
defense.

When Is Uniform
NotaUniform?Wh When
lisa Bathing Suit

When is a UNIFORM not a uniform
| This is a question that has been
brought to the front in army circles
during the last few days by the new
regulations against sale OF LIQUORS to
persons in military uniform and the
consequent resort 10 the bathing suit
as means Of securing a drink.
Doubt is expressed in some circles
that the prohibition regulation against
soldiers in bathing suits drinking cac
be made to hold in view Of the regu-
latiODS issued by the war department
governing the wearing of uniforms.
According to these regulations ZEN
listed men will not be permitted to
wear any articles of uniform which
are not furnished by the quarter
master, nor will they be permitted to
wear articles of me uniform Other
than those furnished to the orga2iZa,
ton to which they belong"
The suggestion has been made tina:
to protect the hotel keeper from the
heavy fine imposed for selling to sol
diers, soldiers who go bathing on the
beach might wear a portion Of unit
form about their person. along with
their bathing suit; a hat cord, per
haps, about the neck. This would not
be possible, however, for COmb!na
tons Of this sor: arc prohibited. Says
the war department:
Combinations o, various articles
Of the uniform ether than the com
binations presented in these regula,
tons are prohibited.
Bathing suits are presumably givel
special mention in the regulations,
but are most likely classed with tho
athletic clothes which men of the
army are allowed to wear at presCrib
ed times.
Tennis, baseball. football, golf and
other athletic clothes may be worn
when engaged in athletic games and
sports say the regulations.
From the above it would seem that
the word uniform applies TO the
regulation uniform only: not to bath
ing suits. According to the argument
that goes with his latter class of
clothing, so long as a man wears i
he is not in uniform; and there is
apparently nothing to prevent his
wearing the beach apparel so long as
he IS engaged in the sport OF swim
ming.
