More important Than The War

their steady rise while unemploy-
M ment remained virtually the same.
What has been happening since
1882 is that, the, people who have
Jobs have, enjoyed. the full bene-
fits of increased national income
while the jobless have noticed no
difference in their financial status.
No matter how high income may go,
no matter what steps the govern
ment may take to provide relief,
there will never be security until a
greater percentage of people is en-
ployed. -
One faction in the country to-
day is in favor of soaking the rich
to dole out contributions to the
jobless. That is no solution. There
is only one answer: Work must be
found for the | million.

They haven't any money, except

Twas This My|
BY LYLE SPENCER
Military Uniforms
9 Western Newspaper Union.

T OUIS XIV, the depraved French
- king, really brought on the
French revolution through his ava
rice and cruelty to his people. A
most disorderly man himself, his
greatest contribution to posterity
was his reintroduction Of the mill
tary uniform, the forerunner of
modern standardized goods.
Although regular uniforms h d
been worn by Greek and Roman
soldiers, the art was lost during the
Middle ages. Since soldiers fought
in small bands, they could either
recognize each other personally or
wear some identifying badge which
distinguished them from the enemy.
But Louis XIV built up the larg-
est army Europe had eyer known
up to that time, a huge force of
100000 men. He gave orders to
his generals, Drill them to act
as one, discipline them to respond
as one, uniform them to look as
onet"
The generals could do the drilling
and disciplining without any
trouble, but when it came to the
uniforms they were up against a
new problem. Making 100000 uni
forms that all look exactly alike
is no small problem. The generals
were finally forced TO build up a
whole new textile and clothing in
dustry and install the first modern
system of standardized goods and
sizes.
So when you 60 into department
store to buy size seven shoe or
a fifteen collar, remember that, il
was old Louis XIV and his aides
who first thought up the idea.
