JUNK MAN IN JUST SAY | TExAsBust PERSON But Capt. Felix Doeso't Cry, “Rags—Any Rags” Fort Bliss, Tex., April 13.-—He does not go down the alley perched on an old wagon with dished wheels call- ing '“Rags—Any Rags!"

Tents which have been torn up by the winds of March are repaired by men who have been sailors or who have experience in repairing canvas. Canvas cot covers which have been torn are cut up Into small pieces and made into clothing bags. These cot covers were formerly discarded. A tailor shop has bheen established where worn and torn uniforms are | repaired, buttons sewed on, the uni- form steam-cleaned and pressed and returned to the owners. This is the only department where women work- ers have been called in ot assist the salvage corps. Army shoes which have been worn by many marches over the desert sands near the fort are half soled by machinery, ripped places stitched, new laces inserted and the shoes sent back for further wear. Not a scrap of leather is permitted to be wasted Ly the reclamation and salvage de- partment, Shoes too badly worn to be repaired and cavalry boots are for repalring other boots and shoes. | The scraps are then sent to market com- position belting.
