Unit of the U. S. Citizens Defense Corps, has been established in an administrative order issued by James M. Landis, Director of the U. S. Office of Civi lian Defense. The insignia for Instructors con sists of an inverted equilateral tri angle, centered above which is a falling bomb, to the left of which is a chemical retort, and to the right of which is a flame in red. within a white triangle in a circular field of blue. The Insignia may be used generally but not on arm bands or brassards. Duties of the Instructors in the U. 8. Citizens Defense Corps shall consist of giving courses of train ing and instruction to units of the Defense Corps, as prescribed from time to time by orders or instruc tions of the Director. Appoiptrnent as instructors shall be restricted to eligible persons who have regis tered for training and hays satis factorily completed prescribed and approved courses of training or in structions, by the Local Defense Council, on tne basis of ability tc perform prescribed duties, by tha legally authorized appointive au thority of any State or community subject to any further rules, regu lations, or orders, issued by the Director. / ' Instructors who are graduates of War Department Civilian Protec tion Schools may wear the pre scribed insignia encircled by o wreath of laurel. OVER THE TOP / Pack trains in mountainous sec tors are often necessary and here the mule, slow but sure-footed. play3 an important role. Our Army buys thousands of mules paying from $175 to $190 for each. The mule eats less, carries more, and some de clare is smarter than the horse.

The Chemical W arfare Branch of the War Department issues these gas masks to every man in the serv ice. We are taking no chances. - [<■> The type pictured here Is the “can" and "elephant nose’’ mask and costs about $9.25 each. The headgear is transparent, made of m aterial resembling cellophane and does not cloud with the breath. You can buy two of these gas masks with the purchase of an $18.75 W ar Bond. We need thousands of them. Don’t fail to give at least ten percent of your income every pay day for War Bonds. Buy them at your bank or postoffice, regularly. V.
