CAMOUFLAGED WIGS. ♦- A -wig to help to win the war has been "'invented' 1 by an American cotton manufacturer. It is made of a fibrous material and in two colours—green and reddish brown. It fits_ down tight- over the helmet, and while the soldiers are sneaking through the woodlands blends into the forest so splendidly and naturally that 300 ft away nobody can tell that a company or a, regiment of soldiers is on the move. Then when out of the woods and back in the trenches all the soldier must needs do is take off his wiy and reverse it, and he is topped with a reddish hrown top-piece, invisible against tho earthwork of tho trenches.
