New Clothes Cramp
Cut Material in Suits
Heavy Dater's Style
War is war, but the modern college man must still have the most important of the three necessities of life, his clothes. The new program to conserve material in the clothing industry will not have a great effect on the everyday sweater and cords of the well-dressed man on the Hill, but there may be some strain on the heavy dater's wardrobe.
The new suits, with the elimination of all little used pockets.
pocket flaps, vests, lapels, and cuffs, may prove to furnish some very interesting problems.
The lack of vests will not bother a great number of the Hill Casanovas, for they are an unnecessary item compared to other articles of clothing.
War styles should prove a boon to the clasp industry, for there will always be a roommate to wear the only tie clasp in the room when you have a heavy date. The evening should prove interesting as he battles to keep his tie in place, and make an impression with the girl at the some time.
The smoker will find a lack of cuffs embarrassing when he cannot see an ashtray in the room and knows how neat a housekeeper his hostess is. However, if he is a fast talker, he may be able to put the blame on the war and get away with burning the rug.
One of the best things about the new suits is the elimination of all unnecessary pockets. For the average fellow who drives a car, time will be saved since he will not need to go through so many pockets, looking for the key. With the old suits this was a long and tedious job that always made one feel like a perfect fool, and made everyone with him cranky for the next 15 minutes.
The tight legs of the new wartype pants may bring about a revolutionary change in the much publicized male beauty contests. It will seem very funny to have the judges selecting the man with the best shaped legs to model for the big clothing manufacturers.
Tattoo Artist For Air Corps
Denver (UP)—Private Richard Massey, who made an honest living needling men as a civilian, is continuing his profession in the army. Private Massey is a tattooer.
Private Massey lived in Denver and went into the army with the Colorado National Guard. No sooner was he at Camp Barkley, Tex., than he was tattooing his fellow soldiers.
Now that he's been transferred to Lowry Field, he is adorning the anatomy of the Air Corps soldiers with tattooed ladies—all of them modestly clothed, however.
The army and navy frown on salacious subjects dancing on their men's biceps so Private Massey is always careful to adorn his ladies in bathing suits, flowing veils or panties and brassieres.
The soldier's favorite design, according to him, is a patriotic emblem in red with his name, army serial number and outfit tattooed in blue.
He likes to tell about a $75 job plete—a Spanish galleon tattooed on that took him four months to coma 'man' chest—or a $125 project he needled on a man's back in four and a half months—a red dragon coiled around a light blue nude with yellow hair.

Famous Names
Do these names sound familiar: Jefferson, Jackson, Adams, Cleveland, Harrison, Johnson?
They are not only the names of former United States presidents, but also the names of members of an All-American class of Aviation Cadets who have just checked in at the "West Point of the Air" for their basic training—the second of the three steps from civilian to commissions.
There are other outstanding statesmen namesakes in the regiment, too. For example, there's a real John Hancock, a Hamilton, no relation of Alexander's, and a Bryan.
Contemporary politicians, too, are represented. Thomas J. Farley is from Philadelphia, Pa.; John D. Long hails from Tampa, Fla.; James W. Walker is from Chicago—not New York.
Among the writers, there's Alger, O'Neill, and Stevenson.
Particularly significant is the name of Wright. William E. is from Decatur, Ill. Ford—also a name in the plane business of late—is represented by Edmund J. Jr., of Lawrence, Mass.
Also, there are in the class: a Moses,
a Warden, a Lamb, a Lake, a Penny,
a Beer, a Fish, and a Bond. The latter's initials are U. S., and he's known as "Defense" to his classmates.
Invitably, there are in the class two Jonesses and seven Smiths.
Oakland, Cal. —(UP)— Mrs. Lillian Silberstein was granted a divorce on grounds that her husband wanted permanent blackout conditions. He permitted, she testified, only one room in the house to be illuminated and heated—and that was the kitchen.

Twelve of the cushioned chairs to the dining sets are covered with plum colored fabric and the other 12 are covered with a green, beige, and gilt striped material. Miss Hill pointed out that the dining room would make it possible to give more emphasis on meal service in the various foods courses in the department.
A green rug covers the floor of the room. Two sets of walnut dining room furniture have been arranged in this room of the department so that the foods classes can serve family sized dinners or teas for a larger group.
The center hall leading directly to the dining room will have the lockers removed to a small hall off the store room. The room east of the dining room has a large demonstration table with a sink and worktable combined, together with refrigerator and stove, and will be used for demonstrations and discussions.
As soon as possible the east laboratory will be rearranged to make it more convenient. Already a number of persons have visited the department and indicated an interest in the equipment. Miss Hill said. As soon as all the changes are completed, the department plans to hold an open house for the University.
