The Washington herald., 1918-11-22


the American Expeditionary Forces
have been purchased by the subsist-
ence division. This is the largest
single order ever placed by the army
for sugar and ranks with the largest
sugar purchases in history. The to-
tai cost OF this sugar is 81 9S7 600 net
The net weight of this shipment will
total ls,3e0 tons, which will MI ap-
proximately $50 cars. Sugar for the
army is packed in lOo-pound double
sacks. The domestic requirement
for sugar added to the overseas pur-
chsses make the total army pur-
chases for the month approximately
100000 pounds. a little over per
cent of the total sugar consumption
of the whole country.
The clothing and equipage division
is now arranging TO have all gloves In
| process Of production made inter
changeable. The interchangeabl bic
glove is a ive-hnger knitted wool
glove. with seams so "fuIled" or
'fufred'' as to be invisible. These
gloves are not shaped TO fit snug on
the palm or full on the back Of the
hand, but. are knitted fat so that the
palm and back are identical. The
thumb Is fitted into both the OBJ
verse and reverse sides Of the glove
about a quarter of an inch. instead Of
being fitted deeply into the palm and
| slightly into the back Of the glove.
This makes IL possible to shift the
gloves from one hand to the other 20
/ equalize the wear on both sides and
also obyiates the necessity Of furnish
ing a full pair of gloves to replace
the loss Of one, one glove only being
furnished to replace the one lost The
exact appearance OF the glove may
be obtained by observing the shape OF
the open hand pressed on a fat sur
face with fingers slightly separated.
