The new book, two years in preparation, contains. the first new set. of regulations since 1922, and givec the officers more lati- tude than ever before in keeping up with ‘current fashions in civilian dress. Two new uniforms by the regulations are already in use. They are the new khaki working uniform and the trop-/} ical uniform consisting of shorts, ‘short-sleeved shirt and a helmet which may be worn in lieu of cap or white hat. Specifications also are given| for new special winter clothing, 'to be worn under conditions of} extreme cold, including special jacket, trousers, helmet, goggles, face mask, arctics, and gloves. Thus the officers and men of the navy now have suitable uni- forms for any climate in whic! they may be called upon t serve, whether in the steaming tropics or in the arctic wastes. There is also an appropriate uniform for every occasion. The} well-dressed officer could have as many as 22 different types of uniforms in his wardrobe, not sounting the several duplicates 1@° might need, especially in the case of service whites. The total aumber of uniforms could thus ve staggering, but as a practical natter no officer would be like- y to have all types since in several instances he has a choice of two to four types. Anyway, he taxpayers need not worry about it, for sartorial extravag- ances are at the expense of the fficer himself. There are few changes in uni- forms other than the new ones prescribed. A change already announced is the turning of the eagle on the cap device to face right instead of left. This change was made after research into heraldic law revealed that a left-facing eagle is incorrect. It has been nearly two. de- cades were ued, and the new ones jare designed to take into consid- eration minor changes in men’s fashions, giving them a flexibil- | ity that may allow them to last} longer than their’ predecessors.
