Army personnel renewed interest
last week in the return Of the blue
dress uniform following the War De-
partment announcement that studies
are being made ION a newly designed
tunic Of rolled-collar design which will
replace the familiar field uniform of
olive-drab for off-duty wear"
More than seven years ago when
Dwight F. Davis was Secretary Of
War, the optional wearing of the blue
uniform at the expense of the wearer
was authorized and instructions we're
issued at this same time that officers,
warrant officers and enlisted men Of
the Army we're authorized, but not
required, to wear the blue uniforms.
Ever since its abandonment during
the World War, there has been a
growing demand in the Army for a
return to the historic blue dress. and
the studies now being made indicate
that little additional expense will he
involved in procuring the new dress
uniform.
The first lot of warrant officer ex-
animation papers have been received
by the War Department and the tech

ICKCOMPANY
MAKING PLANS
FOR EXPANSION
SEPARATE LABORATORY FOR
EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTION
OF INDICATED COUGH
DROPS is ONE PROJECT

GREENSBORO, N. c., March
9.-Plans by Vicks for further
expansion of its production facili-
ties in Greensboro were announced
today by L. Richardson, president
of Wick Chemical Company. These
plans call for a separate labora-
tory for exclusive production OF
Vicks Medicated Cough Drops
one Of Vicks latest prOducts-the
new plant to be completed and IN
operation by midsummer.
This step is but one in a pro-
gram of expansion that Vicks
carried on throughout the years of
depression-more than doubling
its employment rolls during that
period. Four years ago, in both
Greensboro and Philadelphia, Wick
laboratories were considerably en-
larged and facilities added to take
care of new products production.
Two years later, these facilities IN
Philadelphia had to be increased
by half again, to meet increasing
production quotas from both do
mestic and export departments.
Last year, the steadily growing
demand for Vicks VapoRub and
Vicks Va-tro-nol made necessary
extensive alterations and added
equipment in the Greensboro lab
oratories.
Increased production facilities
are now found necessary for Vicks
Cough Drops. Introduced four
years ago, Vicks Cough Drop won
immediate nationwide popularity
and is now the leader in its par
ticular field.
The new Cough Drop labora-
tory here will be two-story brick
structure with fifteen thousand
square feet of floor space. Layout
and assembly were planned by
leading firm of industrial engi-
neers. Bids are already in on

finer points of the game and ex-

the best in the state. Emory
skipped rope, shadow boxed,
punched the bag and spared a
few rounds with Kid Tony, the

greatly. Mr.. Leslie claims that
by the 10Th, Emory will be in the
