Oddly Shaped Feet
Now Get Fitted
in Army Shoes.

Two out of every 1000 men in the
army have to have their shoes made
to order. In several camps entire reg
iments have had their feet measured,
and hundreds of drawings were made
Of odd shapes and sizes. At the pres
ent time the Army uses between g.
100000 and 100000 pairs of shoes d
month.
Facts brought out in tests seem to
prove that men in the present army
are larger than those serving in pre-
vious wars. Not only is this shown
by the larger sizes of shoes called for,
but by the larger sizes Of outer cloth
ing that is being required Records
in the Quartermaster Corps show that
a size larger, on the average, is being
demanded in blouses, shirts, and
brooches than have ever before been
used.

Tests for Awarding
Medal of Honor
Named by Gen. Pershing.

These tests are applied to cases
recommended for the medal of honor,
according to instructions issued as a
guide to officers by Gen. Pershing:
Men who have performed in action
deeds of most distinguished personal
bravery and self-sacrihce above and
beyond all call of duty; so conspicu-
Gus as clearly to distinguish them for
9allantry and intrepidity above their
comrades; which involve risk of life
or the performance of more than or
dinarily hazardous service, the omis-
sion of which would not Justly subject
the person to censure for shortcomine
or failure in the performance of his
duty.
The distinguishes service cross is
awarded for gallanry in action to any
one who may distinguish himself in
action by extraordinary heroism in
connection with military operations
against an armed enemy, under cir
cumstances which do not justify the
award of the medal of honor.
The Observation-Disclosures medal is
awarded for exceptionally meritorius
service to the government in connect
ion with operations against an armed
enemy.

New Overseas Cap"
Added to Equipment
of American Troops.

The overseas cap now being is
sued to soldiers in the Expeditionary
Forces matches the uniform in color,
has a very low crown, and has no
brim or peak. 1t is so made that it
may be folded and carried in a peck
ct.
When American forces entered the
trenches it was found that the brims
of their campaign hats interfered with
sighting through trench periscopes
and that in the cases of tall men
the high crowns could be seen above
the parapet The new cap is SO low
that it permits the men to move with
practically the same freedom as when
they are hatless. The trench helmet
can be worn over it.
Only soldiers who have been with
the Expeditionary Forces wear the
cap. According to reports from
France new regulations provide that
officers shall wear their insignia of
rank on the cap and enlisted men
place on it the button prescribed to
be worn on the left side of the cellar
of the service coat:

they are going to vote for me because

Government Powder Plants
Planned in January
Now in Operation.
r Plants

Operation has begun in two govern
ment powder plants two months
ahead of schedule. When the task
of building the plants was considered
by the War Department in January
it was predicted that the production
of powder might begin in August bar
ring unforeseen delays.
The $l20,000,000 allotted for the
plants is expected to give the govern
ment smokeless powder product
ion capacity equal to all other AM
erican plants combined. In construct
ion of the plants it was found neces-
sary to build new town on each site
to house employees, and approximate
ly 5000 different buildings were erect
ed. Streets were put down and sew
cred, powder plants constructed, and
stores and hospitals built. Approx
mately $4,000 men worked on con-
struction and about $4,000 will event
ually be engaged in the actual pro-
duction of powder.
