LEATHER LEGGIN
1t Makes Our Officers Too
Conspicuous, Army
Officials Say
ENEMY TRIES TO
PICK OFF OFFICERS
(By Newspaper Enterprise Assoclation)

(By Newspaper Enterprise Association. )
NEW YORK. Sept. i7.-Leather leg
gins Tor army officers are going TO be
forbidden In all oversee service I'm the
mediate future, and eventually abol-
lshed as part Of the officers uniform
throughout the United States army. II
the suggestions Of experienced officers
are adopted
These officers point to the govern
ment warnings against shortage Of
leather and the waste OF it for pur-
pose OF elegance. But the big reason
for banning the fancy brogans is told
by the Army and Navy Journal like
this:
THE leather leggin Is extremely con-
spicuous, and makes IL easy for the en-
emy to distinguish between officer and
enlisted man. Naturally the enemy
makes special efforts 10 pick off the
officers. The ordinary percentage OF
casualties among lleutenants is figured
as one In fifty, on the basis Of there
being five lieutenants TO a company.
The percentage Of killed among the
lieutenants Is much higher than this,
snd officers in the United States are
Inclined TO believe that the conspicu-
GUS leggin is one cause"
An officer Of experience is quoted as
saying that chevrons Of non-commis-
stoned officers seem to he making cor
porals and sergeants distinctive targets.
Though improvements have been made
in rendering the nOn-com's chevrOns
less conspicuous there is known to be
IAN unusually high percentage Of cas-
ualties among the uOn-cOms "
So the call is on for leather leggins
to be shut off altogether and chevrOos
made more blurry.

MILFORD AND ACRICIITRF
From he milford Chronicle

From he milford Chronicle.
The action Of the Board OF Education
OF the Town OF Milford in discontinuins
the agricultural course in the Milford
High School will be a disappointment
10 those pupils who have entered i'm
that course and who have been doing
good work along that line. II the state
ment given the Chronicle by the gov
ernments agent at Dover Is a criterion
by which TO judge IL would be well
for the Board OF Education to give the
matter careful thought before definitely
deciding against the continuance OF
the work. Milford derives its business
largely from the farming community
hereab0uts, and should a cooperative
buying stores system be inaugurated
by the farmers, the business places in
this town would soon be compelled to
close their doors. 10 therefore be-
hooves the townspeOple TO see that
every opportunity is given the children
from the farms TO better themselves in
the method Of farm management. for
as sure as these methods are bcttered
Just that sure is the increased revenue
to the business people Of Milford. That
the pupils in the course have applied
AiNAloCtNfo % luulCdleu WlblUub Qute-
tion. The twenty-five children taking
the course produced approximately So
40 Of foodstuffs during the summer
just ending. In some instances they
have beaten their parents in this work.
The actual cost to the town Of Milford
has been approximately Si42, and Of this
amount approximately si25 has been
expended since July 1 at which time
the. new year begins, according to the
government agents reckoning Ap-
that much more would see
the course completed for another year
in this town so far as the outlay Of
money by the district is concerned. The
salary Of the teachers paid by the
government, but the school must fur
nish travelling expenses for the in
structor and books for the pupils. This
about covers the cost to the taxpayers
Of this district Once this course will
be discontinued by Milford. It will be
hard to again secure It. The matter
Is settled at Washington and not by local
people. This is q matter calling for
q careful thought upon the part OF the
Board Of Education Of Milford, and
heir action should not be taken with
1ut giving it consideration.
