ALTOONA -MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23, 1931- MORNING CROW They're trying to liberate men from the armor of fashion again. Remember last summer when the pa jama-wearing idea got a good foot-hold before the females appropriated the thought for their own use? Now there's a new campaign to free the male neck from the starched collar and the male torso from the starched shirt. It's hard to tell what form of reform the new campaign will take. But this department hopes It doesn't follow the Scotch kilt or Grecian tunic scheme. And I wouldn't take to a fashion which dictated chiffon jackets over a decollette shirts (I know that isn't correct but this typewriter doesn't boast accent marks as standard equipment.

The new energy has its source in England, with suggestions from the Research Institute for Hygiene and Immunology of Berlin filling in the rough spots. And it's chiefly concentrated on the finding of a new dress for dancing -something to match the diaphanous gowns of debutantes and give excuse for remonstrating against mama's pleas of "you'll catch pneumonia if you don't cover your chest." There isn't any use trying something like that. Men can't wear as few clothes as women and get away with it. They aren't built that way. But, at the same time, some kind of reform or freedom is needed.

I've seen too many fellows gently escorted to the exit because they dared appear on a dance floor without a coat, while women didn't even attract an extra glance. for appearing in bathing suits. (Well, maybe a couple fellows did look twice). Personal nomination for the catchiest, snappiest, sappiest, happiest ditty of the season: The King's Horses. And guy who best: The soloist with Leonard's prints orchestra in Montreal.

Conscience is a funny thing. As for instance when it blossoms into existence after years of coma. Such a conscience must be that of the Hollidaysburg citizen who walked into a clothing store in the borough last Thursday and paid for a necktie purloined two years ago. It seems the citizen spotted the tie and took a liking to it. But the cost was beyond the scope of his pocketbook.

The cravat was a tasty specimen, though, and he couldn't resist a chance to sneak it his pocket while the clerk wasn't looking. But his conscience pricked himor whatever it is that consciences do--until he couldn't stand it any longer. Then he visited the store and not only paid for the tie but handed over 20 cents interest. I hope that citizen is sleeping soundly again. It took long time but the department has finally uncovered a Friday the Thirteenth story.

It's reported by operative J. S. H. The hero--but a luckless hero for a' that a P. R.

R. employe. He's been playing the treasury pasteboards (yes, they're still playing them) for two years or more but never connected for a cent of cash money and that ought to be fodder for the fellows who insist the number racket is nothing but gravy for the operator. But hero finally connected. The three numbers of his lathe ticket matched the last three numbers of the treasury balance, and he won five dollars.

It would be nice if the story could end there. But it didn't. Came Friday the Thirteenth and tha agents' pay-day. Our hero reached into his pocket for ticket that was to win him the fiver. But he hasn't collected yetHe had lost the ticket! The Death Record WILLIAM J.
