DIR. ALBANIAN Startles People Of AtcIi-

son, But Answers "Why Not?''
Atchison, Kan, July 1s.-Mayor
ALBANIAN of this town is a sensible
man. He is a physician and he advo-
Gates common sense in dress in the
present heated term and what adds
spice to this story is the fact that he
practices what he breaches Mayor
ALBANIAN thinks people worry them
selves in hot weather wearing too
many clothes, or rather, wearing
clothes after the shades of night have
fallen over the city.
Mayor ALBANIA is portly and when
the work of the day is over and dark
ness come he likes to get his sticky
clothes off and sit in the cooling
breezes on the porch of his home that
suckIes. robed in his nightgown- In
this attire a few nights ago he heard
the changing bell of an ice cream
wagon coming up the hill toward his
home. Walking out into the middle
of the street he stopped the wagon
and bought several cones of the frozen
cream.
Another neighbor of Mayor ALBANIAN,
who had observed his dress as he pa
raded into the street in his bare feet,
hurried downtown the next morning to
tell the local newspapers about it.
Don't use my name,' he said, 'but if
ALBANIAN denies it or makes trouble,
I'll swear to an affidavit that it is
true"
But Mayor ALBANIAN didn't deny it;
he confessed that he frequently gets
out Of bed at night and goes out to the
street and buys ice cream with nothing
on but his night shirt And why
not ?" he said. People are too hnicky
about the great question of taking
comfort in hot weather. Why should
people sit around their homes and
swelter and stew with a lot of I'M
necessary clothes on %

He says that the property. which

crude and transportation was Diff

even excel Its former record. for the

There Is an enormous pile Of tall
