dressed in this drab apparel VIII the

Historically speaking the cloth was
adopted by Sir Harry Lumsden in

head scout on the northwest from
tier in the Himalayas and was re-
quired to provide a suitable outfit
He chose the kind and color in which
his men could do a snake crawl all
day and still look tidy at night.
Since then his countrymen and
ours have been underwriting all
over the world from South Africa to
Santiago. Their khaki uniforms have
proved an asset against mud puddles,
