PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81 -
A new battle dress for the Navy
TO give a man four kinds of pro-
lection was exhibited at the AS
ISOLATION of Military Surgeons of
the United States which opened
its annual meeting here today.
The dress protects against
small fragments and splinters of
shell and bombs; against flash
burns from explosions, which
have been causing 30 per cent
of American naval casualties;
against drowning, and against
blast injuries. The latter are the
underwater explosions of any
type, which are lethal four
times further from the explos-
ion than if the same missile ex-
ploded in the air.
This battle dress weighs three
pounds, twelve ounces. II is
made Of gray green poplin and
covers a man from head TO foot
except only his face and hands.
In front from neck 20 thighs,
il is padded like a baseball UNI
pres chest protector The bulk
is much less than the baseball
protector. The stuffing is ribs of
kapok.
The kapok protects vital parts
from fragments and splinters. 1t
also helps a man TO float. And
il saves him from injury by I'M
derwater blasts because such eX-
plosionS do their greatest harm
through the walls of the abdo-
men and chest.
Added 10 this battle dress, If a
man wants 10 wear II, is a small
flat package about the dlmen-
sions of a weekly news maya
zine and a little more than one

for her when what she would like
to have is mans meal.
The same thing happens when
Ia woman's organization decides to
entertain group of service girls.
The menu is pretty and dainty but
often SO unsubstantial that the
guests have to go out and eat af.
forwards.
Appetites Not Feminine
The woman who really wants to
do something for the girls in uni
form can't do better than to invite
them to her home for dinner, and
then see that they have the kind of
meal she would p1an for her son if
he were home on leave.
OF course, the girls will be more
appreciative than man would be
of the flowers on the table and of
the fancy new dessert the hostess
is trying for the first time.
But for the most part they'll en-.
joy just what a man doing theil
work would enjoy.
That may not make the girls
sound feminine. But they say
there is nothing in the least. femi
nine about their appetites since
they have started working as hard
as men.

NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-You
probably heard the rumor, at the
time shoe rationing started, that
clothing would be next on the re-
stricted list. Maybe you even were
one of the thousands who jammed
department stores and dress shops
in rash of buying.
Well, the jam is still about as
thick as ever, but for a different
reason. Now that clothes-ra tioning
fears have been allayed, at least
for the present, a lot of women
are coming back rather sheepish-
ly to return the clothes they had
bought Just in case" But they're
not asking for their money back.
They want credit.
This move is the result of an
other rumor: that when and if
rationing comes, their credit slip
for a dress or suit will entitle them

Don't Let The Rumors Drive
You On Clothes-Buying Spree

to the garment without their hav-
ing to give up a coupon.
OPA squelches that one, too. 1t
points out that credit slips don't
mean a thing in the shoe-rationing
program. Only shoes that were
wrapped with the owners name
on the package before the freeze"
started can be delivered without
coupon in exchange. Apparently
the same procedure would h d
good as regards clothing.
DATED WARDROBES
Probably the best preventive of
clothes-hoarding hasn't anything to
do with government orders. It's
the fear that, if the war drags on,
the woman who goes on a buying
spree now will be saddled with an
out-of-date wardrobe by the time
peace comes. Those who remem-
ber World War I will recall that
the cessation of hostilities was fol-
lowed by radical change in
styles.
OPA Is going to allow rise
in the price of repair parts for
household Appliances. Manufac-
turers complain that, though they
have been allocated materials for
refrigerator, radio, washing ma
chine and similar repair parts, the
ceiling is so low tht it doesn't
pay to turn them out.
