GLAD RAGS SCARCE
GIs Find Stocks are Low

Retailers and manufacturers
said the clothing shortage will
begin to ease early in 1916 but
supply will not meet demand
until late spring and possibly
next fall.
They described the shortage
of wool as acute and the short
age Of lining and trimming ma
terials also is holding up suit
production.
Suits are not the only item OF
scarcity for the servicemen re-
turning to civilian life, the mer-
chants said. The supplies OF
shirts and shorts for men are
equally scarce.
Calm suggested that. until the
shortage is passed, discharged
officers have their uniforms re-
modelled instead Of placing them
in mothballs. Civilians also
should take old clothes out OF
mothballs. repair and wear then
until the situation eases, he said
Another manufacturer dis
agreed, however. and said many
might resent being told to re-
model and wear military uni
forms.
