Why" said landsman. "are sailor trousers so baggy at the bottoms?"
 They are baggy at the bottoms" the marine replied. ''so that they will roll up above the knee conveniently and easily. Sailors are great deck-washs CTS. and in deck-washing it Is neces- sary to have the legs bare to the knees. Trousers of ordinary cut. roll ed above the knees. would cramp, the flesh of the upper leg and impede the circulation. but sailor trousers may ba taken by their wide bottoms and pulled In a Jiffy up to the hip. They fit the upper leg like a hip boot.
 Sailor trousers, in a word, have so odd a shape because they are cut from the knee down to fit the leg from the knee up."
