G PREPARED TO
CLEAN UNIFORMS or SOLDIERS

Washington, May 14.--Hereafter the
United states government will clean
and repair the uniforms and equipment
of the national guard. through arrange
ments made with the Chief OF the mill
tia bureau by the salvage branch OF the
quartermaster corps In each case the
salvage repair shops at the station near
est the national guard organization
concerned will be utilized.
Major General II. l.. Rogers the
quartermaster general OF the army, to
day gave the various corps area quar-
termasters supervision of this work ana
distribution of The national guard prop
erty requiring repair. Quartermaster
corps officers expect large savings TO
the national guard, as well as econo-
my in the preservation of clothing and
equipment to be brought about by this
radical innovation.
1t is also proposed to furnish laundry
service to all students at the coming
summer camps for the reserve officers
training corps. At stations where the
new government laundries are avail
able this Service will be rendered free
for all clothing issued by the army, and
at nominal charge for personal et.
fects of the young men who have signed
up for military training this year
In further line with the general policy
of rigid ecopomy laid down by congress,
the quartermatser corps has eliminated
all unnecessary purchase of clothing
for the army and will hereafter alter
sizes of garments bought for wartime
use, and still on hand, This will save
the taxpayers several hundred thous.
and dollars annually, especially for un-
derclothing and flannel shirts, which
can be economically altered by the salv-
age repair shops. recently made part of
the machinery of the quartermaster
corps.

A LITTLE TALK on THRIFT
CBy ). ~. Straus. President America
Society for Thrift

The unemployment that exists In this
country today should prove a whole.
sale lesson TO THRIFT.
Not so many months ago we were IN
the midst of wild extravaganza. Wages
were at higher point than ever before.
Production was at low ebh, Peop'e
werd spending rccklessly. Thousands Of
cur citizcns were making no effort TO
lay by for the days of adversely.
Now those days of adversely have
come tc many Thousands OF men arc
cut of work today who a year and a
half ago were earning more money
than. they ever mace before in their
lives Harrily many did act with pru-
dence ana in the days when work was
plentiful and wages Were high with
them they took practical thought of the
morrow.
Forn's the fin 'a'uc lnat comes
