SOLDIERS IN
 FRANCE BURIED
 IN UNIFORMS
Letter to Sidney s. Jacobs Says That Soldiers Are Buried in Their Wool
 Suits.

Every allied soldier buried in France is buried in his uniform. This uniforms are wool. And this is the cause of the wool shortage in this country" said Sidney s. Jacobs, local wholesale broker, recently, throwing a new light upon the cause of the wool shortage.
 ''It has been estimated that over 6,000,O00 pounds of wool have been buried in France upon the bodies of the fighting allies. This wool. unlike the wool in the ordinary suit of clothes, will never be used again.
 "The wool in a fine suit of clothes," explained M. Jacobs, "has almost as many lives as cat. After it has been worn by one person, 1t will find it's way eventually to the secondhand man, who will prob ably sell it again. Finally, it will be picked up by the rag picker and the wool will be sent back to the wool manufacturer It will then be reiuvenated, mixed with some
 
 new wool and made into material for less expensive clothes. Again the less expensive suit will follow the lead of it's more expensive pre- decesor to the secondhand man, to be worn again, and finally through the rag picker back to the wooden goods manufactures, where the wool is again put through rejuvenating process. livened by new wool and made into still less expensive ma terial. This same process is re- peated until there is no more life in the wool
