GIRL WORKING IN
WARDEPARTMENT
TOWEAR uniform

Not long ago Secretary of the Navy
Daniels deereed that all girls work
Ing In the Navy Department must
wear uniforms. The girls in the
War Department sat up and took no
tioe- They wondered II they would
be next
Secretary Daniels even designed Q
uniform. making the coat such .
shape and the skirt so many inches
long Navy girls had nothing to worry
about. They only have to slip on the
uniform when they are made.
The War Department girls wanted
uniforms. and while they were won
dering whether they would get them
Secretary Baker went to France. So
the girls got together yesterday in
the Willard red room and decided to
get their own.
Forest green on the line of q mans
uniform, with the exception OF .
skirt, Q dashing campaign hat, and q
silk blouse is the design selected.
So after May 80 you may expect TO
see War Department girls going TO
work In a smart uniform.
Mrs. c. A. McQuigg. of the Adjutant
Generals office, explained the reasons
why the girls want to wear uniforms.
"An OF the girls IN the War Depart
ment are making good salaries. The
adoption Of q uniform would relieve
thems from heavy clothing expendi-
tures and leave more money for pa
rents back home" she said.
Also the girls say they can't stand
spending their salaries on Georgette
crepes and other finery when there
are so many Liberty bonds and thrift
stamps to buy.
