But the war demon- ed the complete impracticability of the tight jumper and bell-bottom trousers. The tota) absence of pockets alone constituted a heavy indictment of time-hoenored costume. Neither blue woolen stuff nor white twill is suitable material for a working uniform; and as a result bluejackets in wartime went to slovenly tropical een fatigue uniforms or to dung: At home, bottomed trousers remained in evidence to provide theme for a catchy song. But where the war was 1's outfit of British and American tra- ually was unknown. it appe: that the wheels of the Navy are and a wholly new set of uniforms is on the is high time. Youngsters just out of high may have liked the novelty of a skin-tight blouse with one pocket almost large enough for a pack of paper matches; the laced, floppy trousers which look so well on enlistment post But the grown-up m-n who fought the war at sea had come to feel, in (he main, that their’s was a little boy's costume. And that is the real reason why the Admirals in their wisdom finally the lor suit. So long as morale, tradition needs to be cherished—whether it originated in America, or Great Britain, or 15th cen- tury Spain, or the Belgian Congo. When it ceases to serve a purpose, and actually impairs morale, a military tradition is ready for the discard. Some will deplore the passing of the photogenic sailor suit. But those who feel that way will not be men who wore it. It schocl Ah, Falling Pnce (Cincinnati Enquirer) it is not, the price of somethifig is going one of the essentials of life, at that.

Right in the middle of a pericd of soaring prices, and of prices that would soar if the OPA gave them a chance, we find a chance to get something for lcss than we have been paying. To be sure, the three-cent rate was a revenue measure, which no cost accountant would try to justify. So what the House voted for overwhelmingly is really ¢ reduction.
