Mrs. May Williamson is in the

Hanson was coming down a
flight of stairs with her daughter,
Laura Lee Ann, and as 8 h e
reached the bottom landing she
twisted her ankle and with first
thought of her little daughter not
getting hurt she designed to fall
safely. Laura Lee Ann escaped
without a scratch. Mrs. William.
son was rushed to the Cut Bank
Hospital shortly later.
Having made rapid recovery
since then. she is eager to be
back home, though the nature of
her injury will require hospital
care for several more weeks, it is
believed.

would be avaied the advise of a
committee provided with infor-.
nation and other factual matter
covering various agricultural de-
tails.
AS an advisory group the COM

said.
The group would be part of
the machinery that would ensue
from the present Selective Ser

Fundamentally, the project of
of placing veterans would be out
of wisdom of voiding the errors
following the First World War
when many without proper agri-
cultural background failed under

Treatment Ends
Sox Shrinkaqe

PHILADELPHIA. May 18. CUP)-
Foot relief with longer wearing
socks is in store for Uncle Sans
fighting men as the result OF
series of tests for treating socks to
prevent shrinking, conducted under
the direction of the Philadelphia
Guartermaster Depot.
The tests to discover suitable
method to treat the socks are un-
der way at several hosiery mills
after discovery in extensive field
tests that pre-shrunk part-wool
socks-the only kind the soldiers
are supposed to wear with CT shoes
last longer and are more COM
Portable than those not shrunk.
The cepot directors, in cooper
alton with the testing hosiery mills,
seek a chemical process that will
shrink the SOCKS without oyertreat-
ing them. A second problem en-
countered is the deviSing of a test
for factory inspectors to determine
whether the socks have been treated
properly.
Production stumbling blocks have
proved to be the extra equipment
needed by the mills, and the lack
of competent dyehouse personnel.
The Army says, however, additional
compensation will be given mills for
added costs of treatment.
Tests indicate shrinkage OF orc-
mary part-wool CT socks was
primary cause of their failure to
wear well. Identical socks, from
which shrinkage tendencies were
removed. wore an average of 40 per
cent better than non-shrunken foot
wear
