STANDARD UNIFORM
FOR ALL OFFICERS
Quartermaster's Dept. Ready
to Supply Fabric Nov.15;
Tailors May Make Clothing.
Special Despatch to The suS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Acting Quar-
termaster General Wood stated to-day
that the Government probably will be
ready to deliver uniforms of standard
frabrics to officers by November 10. Of
ficers will be allowed to buy the cloth
and have it made up by their own
tailors, or can purchase ready made uni
forms from the Quartermaster Depart
ment. In order to let merchants and
manufacturers dispose Of fabrics they
now have on hand It Is probable, how
ever. that officers will be allowed to pur-
chase uniforms made of other than the
prescribed materials for several months
after November Is.
1t was intimated that an EFFORT Will
be made to get tailors to adopt some
standard charge in making uniforms for
officers.

Makers of Women's
Apparel Worried

A %ANUFACTURERS Of women's
MI wearing apparel are won
dering what will be the ex-
act status of their industry under
the new prforities ruling.
Because the War Industries Board
made no mention. in its preference
list, Of this business it has been
assumed by the manufacturers that
1t is not deemed essential.
But those who are engaged on Gov
ernment contracts, and whose plants
therefore are considered rreferen-
tial, at present are up In the air"
As to what will be their standing
when these contracts run out.

Silk manufacturers do not believe that
because their industry has been left of
the priority list II Is going to be MT out
Of business. They point out that so
many branches are engaged in'some de-
partment of war work that a large per-
centage will be allowed to continue.
Some Of the war work being done by
silk factories As the manufacture of car
fridge bag clSth and cartridge belts.
Other silk manufacturers who are not
engaged in war work say they do not
believe their plants will be disturbed.
except that their fuel might be curtailed
and some Of their employees taken be-
cause the material they use Is not needed
by the Government for the winning Of

Admirers Of Lily .LeitzeI Say That
She is Wonder, Although
She is Verv Modest.

Admirers of Lily Leitzel say she is
the greatest woman gymnast in the
world Miss Leitzel, who is a very
modest young lady, makes no such
assertion. but she will tell you with
much pride that, of all the feet that
skip through the aerial riggings of
cjrcusdom hers are the smallest.
. Lily Leitzel is not yet twenty years
old She likes to talk about her life
and work. Said she recently:
Exercise for women seems. to have
been lost sight of to a great extent.
All can not be great athletes and
probobly many would not care to be.
But many an ache and many an i'll
could be avoided through consistent
and constant exercise. The excuse,
Il am not strong enough3to stand eX-
ercise is, in my opiniontand expert
ence, the excuse of a 1azyf woman. l
was almost as tiny as /. | am n. now p y when
l first began my life work. Nor was
l strong physically. My mother was
my teacher and she began by giving
very easy anu SliOll SAcI
Gradually 1 grew more hardy and as
1progressed my lessons became more
strenuous Now7it is child's play for
me to perform from sixty to a hundred
giant swings with one hand while
swinging from rope in mid air. I
never fear ills and haven't had so
much as a cold in years. Let my sis
tiers who complain of poor health en-
ercise consistently and they will be
we'll in both mind and body always"
Miss Leitzel is native of Prague,
Bohemia, and comes from family of
performers. She is but one OF three
score of aerialists who will come here
with Ringing Brothers circus August
9Th, but while she executes her great
"half flanges," all else on the pro-
gram is brought to halt: The Ring
lings are this season travelling 400
arenic artists, the gorgeous spectacle
of romance and knighthood, ''In Days
of Old and a menagerie4of 1.O0S an
finals. 1t is said to be tthe greatest
circus ever offered in the career of
the famous showmen.

first fros.s come. With the opening
OF winter they become Inactive, all
most. cease eating and congregate in
masses.
In many snaileries cool cabinets
are built, containing trays on which
the snails are placed. Here they lie
in a dormant state and can be kept
for many months. without deteriora-
tion: in fact, snsils have been known
to live three, or four years without
food.
The cooks find 1t an easy matter
to step TO the cabinet, draw out a
tray OF snails and prepare them for
the table.

exertion and sometimes delay that
accompanies the capture and prepa-

One OF the most popular dishes in
France Is snails a la Bordelaise; 4;
simply a combination of cooked shall
meats, garlic, butter and read wine.

rich, a body OF toasted crackers or
bread crumbs can be added.

The Department OF Agriculture is
eager to tell Americans how TO culti-
, vaIe suails-as to cultivating a taste
for them. patriotism will help Amer
leans do that.
