NEW MILITARY
PHILOSOPHY
What does he want to do now?
Is he fit for it? Does he need
more rest, or training? Where
will his original training and his
invaluable combat experience
and his personal aptitudcs count
most? The answers determine
his next assignment. He may go
tc domestic AAF post TO teach,
releasing someone who hasn't
been over and is impatient TO
get there, or he may go back
overseas. General Arnold is in
sistent, says Col. A. w. Snyder,
the commanding officer here,
that every man shall get every
break"
That's radically new mill

used to handle military ma
chine so as to use it, whole to the
utmost. Now we aim TO conserve
the unit by conserving the indi-
vidual, using his native capaci-
ties, training, and battle expert

me as one of the most radical
changes any army ever made
and as one of the smartest."

IERE are number of ideas
l. for making the bathroom gay
and efficient. There are the
shelves over the tub for extra
towels and the corner shelves for
bath salts or lotions; then there is
the extra shower curtain to pro-
tect the wall and the shelves; with
roses everywhere-on the shower
curtains, the towels and the bath
mat.
The shower curtains as well as
the window curtains are made of
blue sail cloth with roses cut from
remnant of chintz and appliqued
with the machine zigzagger, as
shown at the lower left. The same
chintz was used for rose appliques
for both bath and hand towels as
well as the bath mat. Here quar-
ter of an inch was allowed all
around in cutting out the flowers
and leaves and they were applied
by hand, as shown in the upper
sketch at the left.

When survivors of torpedoed

rescued in other ways, a United
States AAF plane now drops to
them, by parachute, boat called

and large supply of gasoline.
When the Flying Dutchman hits
the water, a mechanism sets off

ton and fires rockets which carry
long buoy lines to assist survivors
in reaching the boat.

to a few important outstanding
types, as has been the case some
seasons, there is apparently no limit
to their versatile styling.
The revival of the costume suit
that reflects the trend of new
elegance in current fashions has
created no end of excitement. Its
arrival on the scene has proved an
incentive for designers to think
and to act in terms of quality kind
materials, lavish fur treatments and
the entering of color drama into the
picture has cast glamour over the
entire suit program.
The three suit fashions that are
first and foremost fashion leaders
are the costume suit with fur tux
edo, the tunic suit and the jacket
suit with a pert little peplum. Vol
umes could be written on the SUBJ

tuxedos and the tunics are for the
most part extravagantly furred and
