Inventors OF these devices, and they
are legion. are everywhere in Wash

for getting consideration are as va

verance of NJ. Felberheim. who came
to Washington with a patent lace-up
uniform.
Felberheim Is making his home at
I36 H street northwest, and there he
proposes to stay until officials realize
what great thing he is offering
them.
Gets Messenger Job.
Felberheim found that entree to
the various Government departments
was more or less difficult, but he was
not discouraged. whal was such a
problem to a great inventive mind ?
Inventors could not get in. Who
could? He pondered on the persons
who could get in to see the people he
wanted to see, 1t was easy.N He OBJ
served that a messengers badge was
an open sesame to the most sacred
precincts, and that guards and secre-
taries did not bar the way. He Of

Joseph p. Tumulty. took it to the
PRESIDENTS Secretary. Handing in
the message with one hand, he pulled
the string on a neat bundle in the
other, and there fell upon Tumulty's
desk a complete "lace up" uniform.
The arms, legs, back, and other parts
are laced and Fastened together with
patent fastener. Before the Presi.
dents Secretary had recovered from
his first impulse of curiosity, Feiber-
helm had explained that the uniform
was invaluable to the United States
forces. When q man was wounded,
II was not necessary to spoil q good
uniform by cutting II away. The
man would suffer no discomfort from
being undressed. The surgeon just
pulled a string over the wounded
part and the wound was laid bare.
DenOnstratIons Given.
Every White House attachs was
given a demonstration. and TumuIty
promised that the uniforms should
have consideration. He found. how
ever, that the '1acs up" uniform was
an old story to a number of army
and navy Officials. who had received
kilograms delivered by Felderheim.
The fact that routine and red tape
procedure would have to be followed
II his uniform was adopted holds no
interest for this inventor. He works
on the theory that II all OF the authori-

SERGEANTS SENT BACK
TO TRAIN new men

First Sergeants Fred Hollenbeck and
to this country from overseas, will be
assigned to the task of training and
drilling recruits somewhere in this
country A letter received from the
Kioes boy so stated. When it was first
learned of their arrival at an Atlantic
seaport, it was believed they were
sick or wounded, but such is not the
case. They are in good health.
The following letter received by
Mrs. Kioes will explain the situation
dated at Camp Dix, N. j.:
Il imagine you were rather sur
prised to hear from me in the U. s.
again and rather worried about re-
ceiving a telegram FROM me. Well
don't worry, 1 am safe and sound.
l suppose you wonder what l am
doing and why l am here Sergeant
Hollenbeck and myself were sent back
to the U. S. as instructors and are to
be assigned to new divisions at some
camp. We are now attached to a
casual outfit here and are awaiting
orders from Washington to be as
signed.
We left the Co. August 10 for oul
port of embarkation. We arrived there
on the Goth and had to lay around nine
days waiting for a transport. We EN-.
parked on the 10Th and set sail on the
30th. That brought us into Boston
Mass. on the 7th of this month.
We spent one hour in Boston wait
ing for our train, and that sure was 6
busy hour. The minute we landed In
the depot we were surrounded by
crowds of people anxious to get &
look at the boys from the front. Also
had chance to see some of New
York city. We changed cars there, ani
having three hours to wait, we strollet
around the city.
Am expecting a furlough after We
get our assignment, which hope will
be soon. 1t would be great luck If
should happen to be assigned to Camp
Grant. Here's hoping for the best o.
luck"
