ALL-WHITE WORKS.
Many factories in Great Britain will be “all-white” ones. All partitions, roofs, walls (except those that must bo solid to support weight) are to be of glass. The solid parts are enamelled white. Tile flooring is cleaned by vacuums, All the paint is while, so are the chairs and laities. “We are using the American system of purifying all the air as it enters the factory through the very finest sprays of water,” said an architect to a London newspaper.
GOOD-BYE TO THE RED COAT,
There is good reason to believe that the War Office has finally decided that the new army- shall not wear the old peace-time uniforms, but that the khaki service dress shall be the only uniform worn in the future, save in the ease of a few specially-favoured corps, such as the Guards and the Horse Artillery, and a few of the more famous cavalry regiments, whose uniforms are quite distinctive, like the Royal Scots Greys. Another exception, 100, would have to be made in the case of the Highland regiments.
