large army contracts They have kent
abreast Of the demands Of the gov
eminent, and so far we have had no
shortage OF hats, either here or in
France"
What do army hats cast2" I asked.
Army Hats Cost L. 5. si.75 Each.
The government contracts are on
the basis Of sL75 per hat. and that
Notwithstanding hats Of similar quail
ity and make are selling in the retail
stores all over the country from S3.5O
TO 81 As / figure IL. the contra ctors
are not making more than from 81
70 el-5U per dozen upon their work for
the government That means they are
receiving a profit Of from to I2L
cents per hat. I doubt whether many
OF them make as much as u cents"
-Horv many hats does IL take 10
supply the army"
so far the government orders have
amounted to just about six million.
Col Cummings replied More proba-
ply VIII be needed. We are doing all
we can TO keep the orders down to
the minimum and with that in view
hats viii be made here at home and
in France, where a great hat repair
department has been started back OF
the lines. Expert hatmakers have
been sent from this country 10 take
charge Of that plant and among those
who sailed last month were 25 men
from our factory here We estimate
we can save 80 percent in the cost Of
our soldiers hats by repairing those
which have become shabby and issu-
ing them again to the army. The old
hats viii be secured and cleaned and
fitted out with new cords and rib
bOns. They will be reblOcked. and
when finished viii look Just like

''Of what material are the soldiers

Use Foreign Rabbits.
The body Of the hat is composed
Of the fur Of the rabbit. II takes
about five pounds of such fur to
make one dozen hats. and 100 skins
10 supply the five pounds OF fur The
rabbit skins are brought from Aus
