{Continued jrom jxige 57) 
first months of the war. " On indent from Ordnance 
store" has followed the designs of private firms, but it 
would be hard to find one instance in which it has led, and in 
spite of Government supervision and advantages which 
])rivate firms cannot obtain, in many cases the " on indent " 
supplies are not of such good quality as those obtainable in 
the ordinary way— field glasses, on the word of an artillery 
officer, form a case in point, while one has only to look at a 
pair of " indent " boots to see the difference between " reach- 
me-down " and made to measure. And on active service 
the trite maxim—" Only the best is good enough " will hold 
good for just as long as" such a thing as active service exists. 
Rubbers 
By the word " rubbers," the man on the other side of the 
pond understands waders of gum boots, but there is a much 
smaller form of rubber shoeing which is even more useful, 
and that is the rubber pad to save the sole and heel of a b<.x:-t. 
If you get the right kind, you do not merely prolong the Hfe 
of a pair of boot soles and heels for some slight period ; you 
render them so wear-resisting that they will last just as long 
as the uppers, as has been proved by actual experiment with 
a pair of first-class marching boots. This form of rubber is 
made up into pads which are vulcanised to exactly the right 
degree, and which have an amazing amount of hard wear in 
them ; in addition to this, they give a grip and resiliency to 
the tread in walking or marching which saves fatigue to a 
very great extent — they not only add to the life of a pair of 
boots, but considerably increase the comfort of the wearer. 
It is merely a case of knowing what kind to get and where to 
get them.
