Some Funny Things
The War Department
Does These War Times

Washington, D. c.. Jan 17.-"Dig-
ging his spurs into his swivel chair.
and jerking his telephone to him. Mai.
Blanblah swung into action"
The fiction Of the future may read
just like that, If the army does not
forget tradition and accommodate its
official garb to its officerial tasks
Nearly everybody in Washington is in
the army or trying to get in. and
consequently few are left to laugh
at the quirks time has pulled at the
expense Of the war department.
Imagine, for instance, the useful
ness of the puttee that army officers
buy at IS to $50 a pair.
Imagine the boots, that cost as high
as $40.
Imagine the spurs.
All these things fitted onto officers
who never get nearer a horse than
the front of a livery stable they pass
in their autos. Men who do nothing
but office work have to buy boots,
as If their offices were knee deep in
mud
And today a major of the aviation
section, flying division. was seen
clanking along Pennsylvania avenue
in spurs.
