A. WASHINGTON*. Jan. S. ? * Modern
wares are found by whole nations, not
armies."
This threadbare commonplace may
V soon assume a very definite meaning
I to the folk* back home. Already there
are soldiers, financiers and business
|| men who are asking the question:
( "If nations now fight wars, why not
lot the whole nation fight in uniform
like the men at the front?"
1 When one considers the industrial'
and transportation activity of a mod-!
crn nation necessary for dressing the
| people?largely the "better hair' to be :
ttire?and that a large per cent, of this '
I effort is due to the production of the
[ tDyxisd different patterns and kinds
of. cloths, garments and shoes, it is not!
j hard to see the force behind the Idea
of a. national uniform-standardized
clothes for the men. women and cbil,
siren back of the lines.
- It the war lasts long enough the
. change is bound to come?simply because
it will have to come.
rWhetber it will last long enough to

costume is doubtful, hut the movement
is already under way.

of saying "national uniform."
A director of Wool Textile production
has been appointed, and he already
proposes to cut down the number
of weaves and patterns and to put
ls the market only a few standardized
cloths. They are to be a'i of one- type,
with a very few patterns. These are
sc be furnished to the manufacturer of
men's clothes and ladies' suits and
cloaks at fixed prices.
He is to sell to the retailer at a fixed
price, and the retailer must sell to
the consumer at a fixed price also. In
this way Britain proposes to put all of
her civilians in warm well made S12
suits.
The next step to olive drab for the
whole population is not far off And
v hy not? In t) e past whole nations
have worn a national costume and have

secretaries of the treasury appointed
by the president. Love has general
supervision over the government's insurance
of soldiers.
Lover served one term as life insurance
commissioner of Texas and
knows the insurance game from the
inside.
One drafted Lore went to worK. i
He has two boys in the army and a '
daughter in Red Cross Service in
France. j
Love's first war service was the
negotiatmn of a deal by which seven:
Interned Austrian ships were sold ti>!
an American syndicate, and by them j
turned over to the government with-.
out profit. Austria was at that time j
not our enemy and the ships could j
not be seized. Of course Germany did j
not want tb?ni put to work for the j
American go\ eminent and the deal
required some prety foxy work.
Tom ore is one of those fellows,
that Charles Edward Russell dubbed j
"scldiers of the common pood" some i
years ago. Having made a pretty good \
pile for himself in early life. Love!
