US. Army Uniforms Will Now Fit the Men

THE ARMY has found the perfect

Uncle Sam had to equip his army. The
uniforms have been made1to order on
antiquated patterns, held to by the
war department from time immemor-

couldn't fit the recruits. Every now and

Just before the war the army took
measurements of 1000 men. FroA the
average, the patterns were made by
which uniforms were ordered. But the
result was the same. The clothes
wouldn't fit.
But from now on they probably

Measurements of 100000 men of nil

from every state and the District of
Columbia, were taken during the war.
The measurements show that while

Old EMPLOYEES to Lose Jobs and Pensions

No comparatively large number of
federal employees is affected by the
decision, 1t is believed, but among
those employees who will be deprived
of retirement under annuity, and of
their jobs al, the same time, there are
said to be some rather pathetic cases.
Particularly will it come. hard, it Is
declared, to automatically separate
from the service next August 20 one
Waterman of the interior department,
who is now more than eighty years old
and has served in the department just
fourteen years, one less than neces-
sary. A charwaman in the pension bu-
reau, which is handling the administers
ton of the retirement law, is more
than eighty years old, but has not
served fifteen years.
Attorney General Palmer in his de-
cision takes up in detail the various
clauses of the retirement law which
seemed to make ambiguous the matter
of retiring or not retiring certain EN-
ployees and led Secretary Payne to ask
whether such employees in his depart
ment who have attained the age of
seventy years, but have not rendered

Fuel Oil Distribution to Be Regulated

COME plan for the regulation OF the
- distribution of fuel oil may De
resorted to if the present menace OF
a serious shortage continues. A con-
ference of representatives of the lead
ing refineries and users of fuel oil 20
work out some joint plan of distribu-
ton has been suggested by Secretary
of Commerce Alexander.
The suggestion has been made par
ticnlarIy with reference to the situa-
ton in California, in letter to Sena-
for PheIa1 of that state. Secretary
Alexander opposes any embargo be-
cause of it's effect upon American ex-
port trade. He takes the position that
an embargo should be used only as a
last resort.
Latest figures show that the navy
now needs 100000 barrels of iuel oil
n year and that the shipping board,
with its new merchant fleet, will re-
ouire 100000 barrels for 1920 and
6O.OOO.OOO barrels for 1921.
The demand for fuel oil for the
ships of the navy and government
owned merchant marine alone equals
the present output of American re-
fineries for about four months.

CPORTS styles--not sports clothes
- appear to have put everything
else into eclipse for midsummer wear.
A sort of festival spirit seems to have
taken possession Of designers, and
clothes for morning, afternoon and
night have a pastime flavor, as the
two afternoon costumes shown here
bear witness. OF course these two
costumes were never intended for any
thing more strenuous than prom
enade or tea dance or band concert,
but in the great sport Of wearing
pretty apparel they will do their own
ers undisputed credit, and this Is a
leading pastime of fair women now,
as 1t always has been. We should be
grateful for the passion for lovely
colors and beautiful materials that
has eathralled the hearts Of the
world. Everywhere there is color to
please the eye and daintiness to
charm the mind.

are very simple, and many are the

PLENTY NEXT DOOR"
Record Harvest Predicted Tor
Canada.

After having made careful sur
vey of the wheat producing area OF
the United States, experts whose busi-
ness 1t is to keep the people Informed
on the acreage sown to f0odstuffS
state that this year there viii be
falling OF in the wheat production in
the States, due to considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion of these
experts is that the decrease Will be
several hundred million bushels OF
wheat less. than in previous years,
which according to past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet the
requirements of the demands Of the,
people of this country.
In Canada, however, the situation
Is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
were the prospects so encouraging for
a bumper harvest. 1t is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915, the year of the
record harvest in Canada. when the
total, production was S93,542,60O
bushels. Not only Is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same is true of oats,
barley and flax, of which a greatly
increased acreage has been sown In
the great grain producing provinces OF
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come at the right time to stimu-
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture in the ground. With
the world generally facing shortage
Of wheat and a continued heavy de-
mand for K, the price is likely to be
maintained at the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and it is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms In the
early spring have every prospect OF
crop yield that will give them a re-
turn sufficiently large. after paying

IT HAPPENS that the blouse or
l. smock OF georgette crepe is an all
the-year-round garment, so that one
may buy it at any time and anywhere,
and use it until it is worn out. This
is fortunate, for Just now manufacture
ers have placed numbers of new
blouses with retailers at prices that
are lower than they have been for
some time. From the present out
look they will not be lower, and the
fall demand may see them move up
again, so now would seem to be a
good time to buy either the ready
made blouses or the georgette for MAX

Prayers of Male Passengers MingIe
With Sobs of Women as Steamer
Picks Tots Up 80 Miles

Detroit, Mich.--With the prayers of
1850 male passengers mingled with
the sobs of hysterical women, four
children who had been adrift in a
small row boat for more than twenty
five hours in Lake Erie were rescued
by the steamer City of Toledo-30 miles
from Shore.
The children drifted from Lakeside,
Mich, at o'clock Saturday morn
ing, and while they were far from
land two of them who got out of the
boat were rescued by 9-year-old Mer-
win Daso, one of the party.
The children are: Robert, aged 81;
Richard, 6, and Merwin, 8, sons Of
Merwln Daso of Toledo, and Violet
Sperry, their first cousin. IL years
old.
Tells Of Experience.
Squatting on the second deck OF
the steamer, the hero of the adven-
ture told the passengers just how 1t
happened. They started out from
Lakeside with a broken oar and two
sticks, intending to push themselves
along the shallow shore. Soon they
were long way out, he told the pas
sengers, and with a wind blowing
they could not get the boat headed
back for Lakeside.
Late in the afternoon Violet con-
ceived the bright idea to get out and
push the boat.
She could not touch the bottom, OF
course, and Merwin was afraid she
was going to drown. He finally sue
ceeded in pulling her back into the
boat.
Saturday night "Bob" got into trou-
BILE. He insisted in prowling about
the flat bottomed craft and fell over
board. Merwin at once plunged into
the lake and keeping one hand on the
boat caught Bob by his roinpers and
pulled him back In.

AS it began to get dark they all

During the night 'Dick," Violet and
