seems to be the hard earned title Of
the Fifty-eighth Coast Artillery Regi-
ment. which is here for rehabilitation
and transfer. The climax Of its run Of
III fate was reached in stories which
appeared in New York yesterday as
sertingl that the regiment had seen
no action and was inferior as n fighting
organization.
The men and officers are highly in
dignant to-day and point to $50 wounded
or gassed in their organization, casual
ties during three weeks hard fghting
following the st. Mihiel drive. On Oc-
tober 20 the Fifty-eighth went into posi-
ton at Mont st. Jean and fought at
various points along sixteen mile
front, discharging during that period
more than 1000 shells. At Arnaville, a
German railway station and two troop
trains were blown up as result OF
the New Workers. Workmanship Their
eight inch howitzers were often not
more than a kilometer from the firing
line and this proximity to infantry ac-
ton won them the name heavy dough-
boys"
One feature OF their hard luck career
was their delay OF a north at Bordeaux
to DO heavy work there after they had
been given to understand that they
would parade in New York Christmas
day. At Bordeaux the Fifty-eighth was
picked as an escort for Marshal Petain.

CLOTHING BUDGET MEANS
ECONOMY TO HOUSEHOLD

Economy in purchase and upkeep OF
clothing is easier when expenditures are
planned in advance. The woman who
so plans and classifies her expenditures
Will set aside a sum for clothing based
on the clothing she has or hand and
the use she can make OF it, on her
known needs, and on her income. The
clothing budget should be her guide
when she buys. Even II she does not do
just what she has planned, she will be
more likely to avoid mistakes than she
would If she acted without giving the
purchase careful consideration with re-
spect to her expenditures in general.
Budgets well planned and in~telligently
ollowed should enable men and women
for the budget system Is equally valu-
able for both-to be better dressed for
a given sum than when purchases are
made h~aphazard, and frequently savings
are possible, in the opinion of depart
ment Of agriculture home economics ex-
perts,
Shows the relative amount which
should be spent for clothing as COM
pared with other needs, and the rela-
ton of the probable purchases to what
one has on hand.
Should prevent unwise spending, for
instance, al reduction sales since II
considers ones needs as distinguished
from he temptation of purchasing at
bargain" prices something one can do
without.
Promotes saving, since a systematic
study of what WI have and what we
must buy necessarily implies acting
after due consideration rather than
upon impulse.
Helps one to consider quality in re-
lation to price, since this Is one of he
fundamentals Of good buying, and econ
omy does not mean getting the most in
the way of temporary appearance for as
little money as possible regardless Of the
character or suitability Of the goods
