Navy Finally Issues
New Uniform Rules,
Static Since II
Compendium Treats Of
Proper Styles, Beord
Lengths, Grease Spots
BY CLAUDE A. MAHONEY.

ny SLaoDL n.
Nobody can say the Navy changes
Its styles with the moon. The first
new uniform regulations since 1922
are being distributed today
1t took seven officers two years
to compile the material for the
book, but, on the whole, styles
haven't changed much. An officers
dress shirt may now button either
in the back or front and the cut OF
his trousers may conform to pre-
vailing tailoring practice" the vol
ume says. But, more important, the
book tells how to remove chocolate
stains or the shine of hard wear
from the material
Officers in far-off ports will be
glad to receive copies of the 100
page regulations, for the volume is
illustrated with pictures of the uni
forms. The Navy Department be-
lieves the illustrations are in such
detail that almost any native tailor
who possesses needle, thread and
bolt of the correct cloth can COPY
them. This is intended as an aid
to officers who serve several years
in parts of the globe remote from
American sartorial skill.
Lists 2 New Uniforms.
The new publication lists two new
uniforms already in use-the khaki
working uniform and the tropical
outfit of shorts. polo shirt and he'll
met. New clothing to be worn in
extreme low temperatures also is
listed. including helmets, goggles.
jackets, face masks, Arctics and
gloves. Airmen and submarine
personnel benefit most from these.
An appropriate uniform for every
occasion is pictured, and it is
pointed out that the well-dressed
officer could possess as many as %
different types of uniforms, not
counting needed duplicates. But
he is not likely to have that many;
If he does, it's money out of his
own pocket, not the taxpayers
purse, for the officer buys his own
uniforms.
There are really very few changes
of major import. Some time ago it
was found that the Navy had been
In error almost since the beginning
on the matter of the eagle on its
cap and belt insignia. The eagle
had looked to the left all those
years; laws Of ancient heraldry say
he should be looking to the right.
into conflict, and to the right he
looks on the new uniforms.
When Gold Turns Green.
Realizing that officers and men
are away from home a great deal
of the time. the new regulations Of
fer suggestions on the care and
cleaning of uniforms. There are
suggestions for removing stains
caused by chocolate, iodine, kero-
sene. rust. ink, oil and grease, but
nothing is mentioned about what to
do if the waiter spills gravy on a
gold-braided shoulder, or a cham
payne bottle bubbles over in the
hands of a careless waiter at a for
NAL dinner. 1t tells how to improve
gold buttons that have turned green,
and how to remove the sheen from
serge. After the latter instructions
1t recommends that, after all. the Of
f1cer should let professional tailor
to it.
So complete are the instructions
that they cover appearance of the
hair and the beard Suffice it to
report that there will be no eccen-
tricities" allowed in manner of wear
ing the hair or beard. Uncle Sam
wants no flowing boards tangled in
