But under the con ventions which govern the |ap parel of mankind I could not, un less I wanted to appear freakish, dress in the comfortable attire which men in Florida wear. Most of the men in Florida wear no coat at all in Summer. The younger men wear by preference sleeveless "polo" shirts, open at the neck, making a necktie su perfluous. A high proportion them wear no hats. _ "" Why, I wonder, should il be considered improper in northern cities for a man to dress appro- If Money Grew On Trees Our Easy Payment Plan Wouldn't Be Needed, But...

I can see no sense in the oonvention that a man must wear a coat and a hat on the streets of New York when the. thermometer is up in the 90's. We tolerate loose, scanty clothes for outdoor snorts in the country. It seems silly to ban them in town. • • • WOMEN . common-sense dress Women have gone farther than men in setting themselves free from the restrictions which fash ion and "good form" used to place on their clothing. I often think that women are more logical than men in the matter of dress. At least, I think so until some change of fashion starts them all to wear ing furs in midsummer and wool en coats and skirts for outdoor sports. This Summer I have noticed more women wearing thin cotton prints than ever before. That is a step in the right direction. And one does not have to look very tar, anywhere in America, to see girls and women going about in what their grandmothers would have called "next to nothing." THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA Backless blouses, or whatever the word is for the upper works of feminine attire, with abbreviated ! "shorts" or fliihsy skirts are no - longer confined to the bathing beaches. This movement toward getting ! rid of superfluous clothes shocks 1 many conservative-minded old sters. I think it is a step in the direction of common-sense. i• • • t INDIANS . climatic conditions It is not only logical but inevi table that the people of any coun try should, sooner or later, adapt their costumes to the climate of the country in which they live. The white folks who livd in Amer ica are not as logical as the In dians were. This is a land of cli matic extremes, from torrid heat in Summer to bitter cold in Win ter, over most of the nation. [ When the white men came to i America they found the Indians » going almost naked in Summer I from Maine to Florida, and wrap ' ping themselves in skins and ! blankets only when the Winter L weather made it necessary. I The settlers from Europe, how ' ever, brought their European fash- I 11 ■{ Admire Bust Of Man They Resemble COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. . . . Two men who resemble Will Rogers, A. H. Moilten (left) of Seattle, Wash., but of no kin, and Gunter Lane of Bartlesville, Okla., a nephew of the late cowboy philosopher—admire £he bust, of .Will Rogers which was unveiled on Labor Day ions in clothing with them. We still dress by the standards of Eu rope, where there are no such ex tremes of temperature as we have in America. Over a large part of Europe one has to dress warmly even in Summer. I see in the American tendency to discard superfluous clothes in Summer the beginning of a new American independence. I hope to live to see all Americans, men and women, freed from the chains of fashion and custom and dressing to suit the climate at all times of the year. » » • MORALS dress Many good people still think it is immoral for anyone, women particularly, to go about in pub lic, even at beaches or "the old swimming hole" without being clothed entirely from neck to knees. In their minds there is some relation between clothing and morals. > The first thing the tarly missionaries to the South Sea islands did was to put clothes on their converts. In a climate where clothing was unnecessary, this not only made the converted savages uncomfortable but made it harder to get new converts. A wise philosoper once said that morals are matter of laitude. They are also a matter of chron ology. Many things regarded as good morals in Queen Elizabeth's time are frowned on by the ac cepted moral standards of today, and we approve or at least toler ate, many kinds of conduct today which were regarded as highly immoral, by our grandparents. While I do not believe there is any necessary relation between dress and morals, I realize that each community makes its own moral standards, and until they change it is immoral, in the broad sense, to ignore those standards publicly. * • • HONESTY . . . appearances Par more important than the outward observance of prevailing moral standards is the personal character of the Individual. I think we are living in an age of honesty, that there is much less pretense among the younger peo ple of today than there used to be when I was young. I do not believe that there is any great difference in personal private morals from one genera tion to another. I think it is a decided improvement in public morals when people no longer think it necessary to conworm to artificial standards of attire to prove their "goodness" to . the world. The young folk of today hate hypocrisy worse than any thing else. They no longer believe that a bad complexion, arr unbe coming dress or a black tie is proof of good character. They rather suspect the opposite. Nor do they hold that rouge and lip stick, gay clothing and reasonable sensible comfort betake moral laxity. It is not safe to judge people by outward appearances alone. I am inclined to be suspicious of men or women who exaggerate the cus toms of their communities in clothing or manners, but I am equally chary of those who Ig nore them entirely. And I am wrong in my judgments, probably as often as I am right. Rolea If there is any rule that does not have, or should not have, its exceptions, we have yet to learn of It. There came a loud knock on the door. The doctor, who had just settled himself for a nap, got up. "What is it?" he asked the man at the door. » "I've been bitten by a dog," said the man unhappily. "Well, don't you know that my hours of consultation are between twelve and three?" "Yes," groaned the patient, "but the dog didn't know. He bit me at twenty to four." Human beings can contract rabbit fever (Tularemia) from more than 20 animals other than rabbits. OCT 5 PRESS DAY AT WINSTON FAIR Newsmen to Be Guests of Fair Management and Will !
