OFFICERS TARGETS
FOR THE HUNS
Army Puts Ban on Bright Leather
Leggins and Chesrons. Too
Conspicuous

In all overseas service, leather leg
gins for army officers. are going TO be
/ forbidden in the immediate future,
and eventually abolished as part Of
of the officers uniform throughout the
United States Army, if the sugges-
tions of experienced officers are
adopted.
These officers point to the Govern
ment warnings against shortage of
leather and the waste of il for pur-
pose and 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
conspicuous. and makes II easy for
the enemy to distinguish between Of
fcer and enlisted man. Naturally the
enemy makes special efforts to pick
of the officers. The ordinary per-
centage of casualties among lieuten-
ants is figured as / in so, on the ba-
sis of there being five lieutenants TO
company. The percentage of killed
among the lieutenants is much higher
than this, and officers in the United
States are inclined to believe that the
conspicuous leggin is one cause"
An officer of experience is quoted
as saying that chevrons Of noncom-
missioned officers seem to be making
corporals and sergeants distinctive
targets Though Improvements have
been made in rendering the noncom's
chevrons less conspicuous there is
known to be IAN unusually high per-
centaage of casualties among the nom
CONS"
SO the call is on for leather leggins
to be shut off altogether and chevrons
made more bury

the plans for the air regulations OF

WHY PORK IS IMPORTANT

Pork finds a ready sale because
packers know many ways of placing
it on the market in attractive and
highly palatable form combined with
excellent keeping qualities. There is
no other meat from which so MANY
products are manufactured. Nearly
% per cent of the total value of the
meat and meat products slaughtered
IN the packing houses Of the United
States is derived from the hog.
Our country leads all others in the
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1918-09-18

production of meat and meat products.
Three-fourths of the worlds interna-.
tional trade in pork and pork products
originates in the United States in nor
NAL times, and the war greatly has
icreased this proportion.
If we expect to continue to provide
meat to foreign peoples as we'll as
our own, every farmer must put forth
his best effort to produce more hogs.
They can be kept profitably upon
many farms where they are not found
today.
