waste explosives by an unwise use OF
fireworks. This, with the local regula-

MARINE CORPS NEW INSIGNIA
Green Instead OF Blue Uniform is Not
Recognized by Those Who Are
Not Up to Minute.

Surprisingly few civilians even after
their country has been In the world
war for nearly year can readily
identify the various uniforms OF the
United States service. Especially Is
this true In regard to the United States
marine corps. The change OF the ma
rlne corps uniforms from blue to for.
est green has added greatly to the be-
wlldcrmcnt Of the layman who likes to
recognize military man by his uni
form or insignia.
The small boy, however, Is not so
easily fooled; as IS shown by an Incl
dent which occurred few days ago.
One Of the SergcnntS from a marine
recruiting station was walking along
the street when lc came on Il group OF
small boys and girls playing on the
sidewalk As he approached them one
little girl asked;
"What Is that man In uniform|
~ guess he's French officer" said
another girl.
One Of the boys Dyed him closely for
n moment and then planted himself
sQunrrly In front Of the sergeant, and
holding him by the coat with two
chubby little hands, said II wana see

The lad knew that the device EN-
bracing the globe, eagle and anchor
