Shoe Buckles,

When Evander Berry Wall. king Of

the most inconspicuous man about
town, because he was homely of face
and very bad dresser, besides being
rather short and blotchy, undertook to
reintroducc shoe buckles he made his
first big failure as the sartorial die
tator Of our 'ieunesse doree." I think
it was poor Al Claggett who said:
''Why, Berry, you make a fool Of your
self. Shoe buckles go with long stock
ings and knee pants. You can't wear
'em with socks and trousers. They in
terfere with the set of the trousers
around the feet. Then, of course,
you've got to have a low quartered
shoe. Cut it out, Berry, cut it OUT

BEER SENSITIVE
TO LIGHT RAYS

1t has been couclusjveIy shown that
the taste and Odor OF beer are equally
sensitive TO the action OF the direct
rays OF the sun. and even TO diffused
daylight
Careful experiment has shown that the
constituents of beer which undergo so
readily a change on exposure 20 light
are products of fermentation, and are
not present as such in the original wort.
Dark beer is found also to be much
more sensitive to light than light-Colored
beer.
A German authority on brewing has
now shown by an exhaustive series
of experiments that no form Of cOlOred
glass when used for beer bottles affords
absolute protection against the effects
OF exposure to sunlight. and that a
wide diversity in degree of protection
is observed when glass OF different tinJs
is employed. The highest measure of
protection is yielded by dark. reddish
brown glass,
The ordinary bottle green Of cham
payne bottles affords much less resist
ance. and still less Is given If the glass
is blush green.
