She sed. was shocked and embarras She knows shorts are not worn to regular or downtown, or to the Broadway Methodist Church, where she sings In the choir." Long School Policy Foraker said It had been school policy for more than to prohibit girls from wearing shorts, slacks or jeans in classes.

Max Sherover ia a violent anti- sleep man. "Waste of he snaps, glar- ng from the circles of his eyes. 'Here I am a man of 67 and I've spent 22 years in hod.

Ridiculous. There is plenty of time for sleep when I pass on." Sherover has felt this way for years, but In the old days nobody really listened to his theory. Just when he'd get going strong, usually early In the morning, his audience would have to retire and time. 'Doromophone' Helps Today the small man with the large natural energy no longer has to spout his Ideas to lazy-lidded friends. He can supply them with one of dozens of his own inventions called the "Dormophone," an instrument for persons to use their sleeping time for study.

It is a record-and-mlcrophone device which plays all night into the sleeper's ear, and gives him a variety of sleep-study In everything from language courses to speech memorization. Sherover himself wanted to try the device, so one of his first experiments was to make -a dormo- phone record which repeated to him: "Don't smoke. Cigarettes taste bitter." Not All Waste After several nights he couldn't bear to smoke any more, though he'd Indulged in the habit for more than 40 years. He decided then that sleeping time, if put to use, is not such a waste after all. The dormophonc Is but one small project In the life of the 5-foot-one inch man wh'o ran away from his New York home at 14 so that he could avoid school, seek his fortune and enjoy a good cigar in the open.

He has written many books, made millions of dollars, traveled the world, edited a newspaper, and dabbled In most anything that smelled of challenge. His biggest job, however, is the presidency of Llnguaphone Institute of America, an outfit that "sells phono- graph'lessons in languages. "You were born dumb," he says bluntly, when asked if it is not too late to learn a foreign language after reaching maturity. "Yet you learned, just by listening to it, the most difficult and illogical language i Simpler Ones Easy "If you learned that, by listening you can learn the simpler ones bj listening. Maybe you'll talk Freri'if at first as you talked English as'l child; you'll flub a few words.

But In one month, unless you're afflict ed with a brain injury, you cat learn enough to get by comfortably in a foreign country." By that, he means you can discuss food, clothing, shelter, tht weather and love. "What more do you want to talk about on short Sherover himself speaks 14 languages and says he has "a theoretical familiarity" with some ers. He is currently brushing, up oh his Swahill and Luganda. At night of course. He still doesn't want to waste those four hours which nature he spend with "that dull morpheus." (Copyright 1986 by INS) Want to give your gravy -extra flavor?
