COVER UP DEFECTS
REASON FOR CLOTHING THE HUI
MAN FORM DIVINE.
According to Writer in London Peri
odical, Vanity Is Responsible for
Garments Prescribed by
Present Fashion.

It was the opinion of Cetawayo, a
noble African monarch who despised
all garments, that we took to clothing
to keep ourselves clean, because we
were too lazy to wash ourselves. This,
however, was an error on his majesty's
part. The simple fact is that we
adopted clothes because we were
ashamed Of our appearance, says a
writer in London Ideas.
To begin with, leg coverings were
invented to conceal bony knees and
shapeless calves. Boots were a~rtfully
devised to curtain off ugly feet from
the public gaze and silence loud jeers.
The hat, it is easy to see, was the
crafty invention of some frivolous
patriarch with a bald head, who was
anxious to hide it in order that he
could cut a youthful figure with the
ladies.
Gloves were devised by pretentious
women of the lower middle class In
Herculaneum, who wanted to pose as
gentlefolk. Having to do their "
homework. they hit upon this ingeni-
Gus plan of covering the redness and
roughness of their hands. Thus they
were able to cut a dash and delude So
ciety into the belief that they kept
servants. Hence the name kid"
gloves.
Socks derived their name originally
from shocks, as describing the eject
frequently produced on the mind by
the spectacle of feet in their naked
size and simplicity.
Shirts, and, after them, doublets and
coats, were resources to cover pigeon
breasts, hollow chests and curved
spines. The collar is a development
Of the silken scarf or bandage, first
worn by that hideous old porcuplne,
Rameses l., pharaoh of Egypt, to con-
ceal a boil on his neck.
Coming to the face, we find the
veil. This was introduced owing to
TIE annoyance ~occasioned to King
Ptolemy by the countenance of n OF
his ladies. She developed a squint.
and one day the king, being uncertain
whether she was cycling him or not,
shouted furiously: Cover that won
ans facet" The offensive countenance
was instantly obscured by a window
curtain tori down by a resourceful
courtier. And thus wells for OBJ
~:ectionable faces rapidly became pop
ular.
Now. we have been told, and are
constantly being told again, by count
less scientists, that in strength and
beauty we are q d~eteriorating race.
Cur forefathers-and mothers-had
their little flaws in figure, but, COM
pared with us, they were perfect
Venuses and Adonises.
A high authority says that scarce
IL one man in a hundred is properly
proportioned, and most women would
be ~shapeless without the cunning
curves of their stays" Another stern
authority says: 1--WE are a physically
degenerate people, round s~houldered,
sunken Joined, narrow chested, crook.
ed ribbed, splay footed, knock kneed,
short winded and weak backed"
So, on the whole, clothes are not
only desirable, but indispensable. To
cast them off and permit an astonished
universe to see us as we really are
would be a great mistake.

Grand Junction, Colo.
Dear Sir:-As a citizen of Grand
Junction have long been interested
in the efficient public schools of this
city. and believe that they are of as
high a standard as any in our state.
/ also believe that one of the great
est accomplishments that any of our
young men and women may have is
the art of public speaking.
Believing, therefore. that to en-
courage public speaking and debat-
ing in our high school will be bene-
fetal to the public as well as the pu-
pills, ! desire to offer prize of two
sets of books to the best two debaters
in the high school. the debaters to be
selected after a contest or contests in
debates to be arranged as may seem
best to your self and the faculty of
the high school
! trust that this offer on my part
may not seem presumptuous or out OF
place to anyone, since my only de-
sire in making the same is to foster
the art of public speaking in the high
school and to offer some small impe-
tus to the many boys and girls. who.
| believe, would become good debat-
ers and public speakers II properly
encouraged. and If not encouraged
now will, like most OF us, always feel
the want in after life of some efiic-
iency in that respect
If any such contests as suggested
can be arranged during the present
school year | shall be pleased to make
proper arrangements for the books at
any time you suggest
Very sincerely yours,
T.. r. UDLOCK.
The superintendent has sent the
following reply to Mr.. Udlock:
Grand Junction, Colo.

Mr.. E. E. Udlock.
City.
My Dear Mr.. Udlock:-I reply to
your welcome letter of October 27.
| accept your offer of the prizes for
two sets of books to the best debat-
ers in the high school. I have talked
the matter over with the high school
principal and we should like to offer
the prizes to the two best debaters on
the winning side, thus encouraging
team work, provided this meets with
your approval.
The contest will be arranged some
time in the near future, and we shall
let you know when 1t takes place and
extend to you a cordial invitation to
be present,
While accepting your offer. wish
to thank you for showing such deep
interest in our schools and such "a
public spirit which has prompted you
to make this suggestion.
For the last five years attention
has been given to literary work, in
eluding parliamentary law and de-
batting. Last year a debating club
was organized in our high school
which did excellent work.
| am confident that the offer of
your prizes will add an impetus to
our debating, encouraging very i'm
portant practice which leads on to
public speaking.
Sincerely yours.
