Washington.—There is a brave
man in the army today; a hero
with chin up and stomach in, who
acts—yes—who is forced to act as
a fashion model for the fall and
winter styles of 1936.
This unhappy man pirouettes with
a wan smile wnile tailors fuss
around him with pins and the De
partment of War ponders the flare
of his coat. He strolls dejectedly
down the floor with hand in pocket
and even with hand on hip as the
staff generals consider the hang of
his pants, the beauty of his gold
braid and the artistry of his brass
buttons.
He, poor devil, is the victim of
the army’s fancy in the way of full
dress uniforms, which soldiers have
not worn since the World war.
Demand far the Nifty
For the last 19 years an army
officer hasn't had to dress up tor
anything, not even a shindig at the
White House. All he’s done has
been wash his hands and put on
the same olive drab suit he wore
all day. This has given the army
an inferiority complex and a down-
at-the-heels feeling As a colonel
i’t want hie name uaed es
thete has been a growing
lor a layout nifty in full
That’s why Gen
chief of staff, has
fort to discover the identity of the
model and maybe interview him on
how it feels to be a clothes horse,
but the army guards his secret as
closely as it does its new super
guns. The War department’s not
going to have anybody snickering
at its bravest man; it swears never
to let his wife learn the truth.
To date he has modeled a dozen
or so uniforms, the brain-children
of the country’s leading military-
tailors. None of these has caught
the eye of General Craig; they’re
too splendid. What he wants for his
soldiers is a nice dark-blua suit,
neat, but not too gaudy; a uniform
which will make the army throw
out its chest and look proud when
it says: "May I have this dance?"
Gaiety and Dignity
The clothes problem is s serious
one. The new suit must not cost
more then $75 retail. It must not
look like the get-up of e comic
opera zouave. Neither can It have
e funeral aspect. It must combine
a spirit of gaiety and an air of
dignity—end that's why our hero le

ute.

Students who are seriously con

present social
order are great
ly disturbed
about our use of
leisure. The five-

manently estab

industries. The
use of this lei-

. matter of social
import. If this
extra time free

toil by which we

hood, Is spent in idle day-dreaming
or in riotous living, leisure becomes
more of a curse than a blessing.
Perhaps to some persons leisure
has not proved to be beneficial;
but we cannot judge its reaction
in the experience of the majority
by its effect upon a limited group.
It is our opinion that at least

It must be remembered that
most of our constructive ideas
come to us in leisure hours. When
we are too near an oil painting w<*
fail to see its beauty. We are
better able to appreciate the art
ist’s message from a point farther
distant. We have all had the ex
perience of suddenly being able to
solve a mathematical problem in
the hour of leisure which followed
intense study. Many manufactur
ers have discovered more efficient
methods for their factories when
they viewed their problems from
the vantage ground of leisurely de
tachment. Our noblest resolves and
highest incentives come to us when
we are freed from the monotonous
grind of daily toil.
