...back at the post, on the rising ground above the Potomac, military magic was in evidence. Up the street from the red brick bulk of Barracks "E"; marched the battalion of the Candidates' Class, its green-clad legs chiming as smoothly as the blades of a mowing machine. At each group's head marched Marine lieutenants, on their flanks lean-hipped sergeants with scarlet-backed chevrons and hashmarks, marksmanship medals glinting in the sunlight. Every man in the smartly uniformed ranks was a private, first class...

Clad in regulation olive drab, they will be in camp by the end of the month...
...Wallace was the only Council wife so conspicuously clad. One wife had even neglected to bring the cotton dress required for admittance to the Council Ball. Grower Johnston also faced another paradox in the record of the Council's victories. The Council had successfully fought the use of foreign oils in the U. S., on behalf of cottonseed oil. Yet cotton-men have more to fear from anti-import nationalism than any other Americans for, unless the U. S. buys imports from abroad, foreigners have no exchange with which to buy U. S. cotton.
