A Day in France of a Postal Unit Post orderly
A wartime vignette follows Snowy the post orderly guiding mail through mud and shellfire from L to B. Amid bombardment, he sorts letters, files names, and coordinates with HQ, Band, and field units while soldiers mock the job and await distribution. The convoy battles a deadly gully, while orders stress addressing mail to battalion reinforcement hubs.

Waterproof Cork Fabric Introduced in France for Clothing and Shoes
A new waterproof cloth made from sliced cork blocks is developed in France. Special machinery cuts thin slices, bathed to remove resinous parts, and sheets are adhesively attached to both cloth faces creating a tight yet porous material. The Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry notes its strong, ventilated waterproof properties for garments.
