motion of literature furthering their
ends, newspapers, advertising, by po
litical campaigns, public service op
posing public office holders, etc
Thus the public are stuck in the
clay and with their more or less de
molished brains, many turn into crim
inals and vice seekers.
Of course, the great numbers suf

cause for crime and vice. N. E. L,
SENSIBILITY. At last the men
have shown a little common sense.
I am refering to the wearing of what
are commonly called sport shirts.
They are the shirts which are shown
in the windows of men's furnishing
stores without stand-up collars. The
collars, instead, lay all the way back
and naturally make the shirt cool and
comfortable for hot weather. You.
can, however, turn the collar up and
insert a tie, making the shirt a reg
ular soft-collared shirt.
Now why haven't men come down
to earth before? They have all been
wearing stiff-starched shirts that
made 'em sweat to beat the band.
And the reason for wearing them was
simply style.
If everybody would forget styles
and dress comfortably we would be a

Maier was on trial charged with peep

heart's bedroom. When questioned
by the judge he said: "I am going to
marry her in two weeks. Why should
I not have the right to peek a little?"
The man was turned loose.

WHEN IS A RAINCOAT A MACK
INTOSH? Are all raincoats mack
intoshes and why are raincoats called
mackintoshes? Rufus.
All raincoats are not mackintoshes.
Waterproof coats made of a certain
combination of cloth and rubber are
called mackintoshes because the man
who discovered that India rubber and
cloth could be combined to make a
waterproof fabric was named Mcin
tosh, a chemist who Mved in Scotland
almost 100 years ago.
Ordinary cloth, you know, is po
rous, that is, it is filled with little
pores or holes, through which rain
easily soaks. Mcintosh discovered
that India rubber could be dissolved
in naphtha and that the solution
would fill the holes or pores in cloth
and make it rainproof. Raincoats
made from this waterproof cloth are
called mackintoshes.
