Why Men Should ENCOURAGED Dress Like Butterflies

new glories His suits are no brighter than
they we're half-year ago. his ties and hosiery
no nearer the masculine esthetic ideals. Re
seems almost to have halted to look around
to see how far he has come.
Possibly 1t is criticism which has checked
his advance; possibly his encouragement Is
due to the fact that his struggles have met
with no word of commentator. But, when
once on the nut" starts to beat definite re-
treat we may put back the clock Of mascu-
line dress reform for another ten years.
And that is why we must encourage him.
We must openly hail him as our champion
and do our best to put heart INTO him We
must cease to AFFECT that he is bizarre be-
ing in whose movements We have no concern
save amusement.
We all admit to ourselves that our clothes
evoke from US no emotion more frequent
than contempt. We want the fashioning
of them altered, we want q wider scope
in hue and material Very well, then. II we,
wish to progress to complete freedom We
must range ourselves behind the advanced
dresser. He may proceed to extremes which.
we do not favor, but in so doing ne VIII pass
the goals which we ourselves desire to reach
And therefore, since he is working out our
sartorial salvation, We must at least give him
such aid as we can. We must acknowledge
him as a pioneer, applaud his new notions Of
design, and admire his originalities OF color.

the modes he dislikes and cherishing a hope
that some day, somehow, he will be at liberty
to wear what he pleases.
And this is where the man who wears gay
clothes is performing such commendable ser
vice as pioneer He is leading his fellow
men to emancipation, freeing them gradually
from the grasp of the hard-dying late Veto
rian fashions. In the face Of criticism he
persists with his polychromatic effects, hab-
ituating the public at large to the spectacle
of unusually gay suits and appurtenanees,
and so opening a road to freedom adown
which less bold spirits may follow in his
wake.
Already he has won some considerable
measure Of freedom for them. It is he who
has deposed the top hat. setting up in its
place the plush hat, with its suggestion Of the
spice of travel. 1t is he who has abolished
the stiff-starched white shirt with its COM
fortress cuffs and its unyielding front. It is
he who has won liberation for the soft collar.
And now it rests with US whether he goes
on to win further victories over convention
for us or whether he ceases his efforts and
so gives us no choice but to drift again to
drearier Vogues. The time has come when,
if men are to have a fuller freedom in these
matters, we must give all our encouragement
to our champion.
There is, at the moment, a perceptible
sackening in his brave assumptions. No
longer does he press forward in search Of

evening suits which, by their bright colors,
shall indicate fttingly the spirit Of enjoy
ment
The more man acquires independence
the more of the quality Of individual free
dom does he put into his clothes The stock
broker, though keeping to a restricted fash
ioning of his garments, contrives to be more
ornate, more ford in detail than his clerk,
who still must go in prim, subdued attire.
On holidays a man dons his gayest Your
golfer comes out very adventurer in hairy
tweeds; your tourist, taking courage Of his
absence from all who know him, blossoms
forth into the boldest garments. And yet
ever is there a feeling of irksomeness that the
joyous masquerade is only temporary; that
departing from natural processes, the human
butterfly must return to the guise Of the
chrysalis.
Man, indeed, is profoundly dissatisfied with
his ordinary garb, which he must wear at
least five days Of the week. If only he could
find courage to break with custom and con-
ventiOn he would run almost as riotOusly
among colors and fabrics as his female rela-
tons are doing at the present moment.
But the average man is timid where his
wardrobe is concerned and is secretly as
fearful of criticism of his clothes as any wo-
man. So that he hesitates to free himself
from the tyranny of his fashions, keeping to

WV HAT We call the "fashy' dresser
M the man who haunts gaudy waist
w coats, gay shirts, glowing socks and
coats of eccentric cut-should be encouraged
rather than laughed at and frowned down.
He should be immune from ridicule. says an
English writer, because he is performing a
useful service to humanity by blazing the way
for a general reformation in male attire.
The clothes Of the average man Of to-day
are entirely devoid Of Imagination and artis-
try. The frock coat, for example, still lin

sartorial occasion that the frock coat is also
considered the essential uniform Of the IN

Consider again the masculine neither gar

for his reputation dares chisel out a pair of
trousers in cold marble exactly as they are.
And what is not worthy to be perpetuated
cannot be true art.
It is safe to say there is no true man under

show the effect Of selective breeding

It has never been a profitable
business to pick out the good layer
by some external Characteristic or
some popularity Of disposition. We
can theOrize till doomsday about
egg type and get nowhere. Up to
date there is only one way Of pick
ing out the good layer and the poor
layer, and that is the performance

record.

close with a note OF encouragement.

ton is the trap nest. High lay
ing is an individual not a breed
or race Characteristic as We have
breeds. A great many breeds Of
chickens, OF rather a great many
strains Of a great many varieties
have been injured by too close breed
ing for show points that have no
correlation with utility or egg-laying
points.
We have no less an authority than
Darwin that crossing restores vigor
that has been lost through close
breeding or in-breeding. The effect
Of crossing is a much debated and, I
am inclined to thinR, a much mis-
understood subject among poultry
breeders, but I will report some data
on that point later. Sufficient now
to say that the Oregon champion
layer was the result Of crossing. At
the same time this method of i'm
provemeht may be abused as well as
used The immediate parents Of this
hen were both cross-bred. It mat
tiers not that crossing crosses to-
gether may be a mongTelizing pro-
cess. If we are to believe a certain
class Of breeders this hen is mon

But wait a minute; her parents

therefore, a pure-bred egg layer.

the bird in the show room may be
a pure-bred show bird, though mon

ter with the former would we not
be mongrelizing egg-laying qualities?
1 don't pretend to say mat We must
necessarily cross to get high egg
records. The Missouri hen and the
Canada worlds record hen were pure
bred in the meaning Of the Standard
of Perfection, though not show birds,
but none Of the records that have
quoted were made by hens that had
an ancestry Of good layers, so far as
known. To get high egg records by
selective breeding we must breed
for constitutional vigor, and the
quickest and surest way to get Tigor
is to cross.
Another point about the ancestry
Of this hen Is that her dam and sire
were related, the sire being a son Of
the dam. Here We have two oppos-
ing factors, crossing and ipbreeding,
the one adding, and the other taking
away vigor I will not anticipate my
report on our experiments on breed
Ing, but in this case the hen had
great constitutional vigor and it IN
doubtedly came from her cross-bred
blood.
This hen, Of course, was fed and
well fed. She was born with the
ability to lay; she had the inherited
tendency to icy; her ancestors did
their part. The great predisposing
factor in high egg prices and small
profits for the egg farmers, in other
words the low egg yield In the United
States, which is about seventy eggs
per hen in a year, is the ancestry or
breeding Of the hens. They won't
lay by any kind Of feeding unless the
ability to lay has come to them from
their ancestors. On the other hand
the hen may be born with the seed of
several thousand eggs, or oocytes.

Rousssau,s Etiquette Of Love.

Before Rousseau, love was a highly
refined form Of social intercourse, a
species of gallantry conducted with
self-restraint, and all the formalities of
special etiquette; any extravagancy,
whether in feeling, in speech, or in
action, was banished. But when Saint
Preux, oppressed by his high-strung
passions, came to the rock at Meilliere
to pour forth in solitude the food of
his sentimental tears,- all the witty re-
fnements of eighteenth century gal
lantry, for good or for evil, were final
iy swept away; extravagancy was free
to lay down the law in love. 1t was
Rousseau who enabled Mirabeau, in
his first letter to julio Danvers (whom
he had never SEEM, to declare, Il, also,
am a lover, have emptied the cup. OF
sensibility to the dregs, and could
give a thousand lives for what l love-"

it is known the measures would pro-
vide for a system of regional reserve
banks for ten to fifteen in number.
These institutions would be co-ordi-
nate in their powers and besides re-
ceiving a portion of the reserve OF
banks in their districts, would servo
as banks of discount for their mem
bers.
No attempt, it is said, will be made
to establish a national rate of dis
count. All three bills have proposals
for redistribution OF the countrys re-
serves, each being aimed to prevent
concentration.
Functions Of the regional reserve
banks, as outlined, are not the same
in the different bills, but there is
common idea OF establishing a su-
pervising national board, consisting
of cabinet members and prominent
bankers and other business men.
With respect to elasticity of the
currency, there has been no definite
agreement as to detail. Two Of the
measures are said TO propose that
the, regional reserve banks be given
the power of note issue to be backed
by gold reserve and high CONNER
cial paper, hut the third is said to be
in favor of a government issue OF
rDtes. There is well defined in
tention gradually to eliminate bond
secured currency, a system of refund
ing being contemplated to make up
for any depreciation in outstanding
bonds.
Branch banking facilities abroad
and plans for the participation OF
state banks in the regional reserve
system are provided for.

drafts presented by Senator Owen
and Representative Glass, heads OF
the two congressional committees on

task of condensing the three bills to
Secretary McAdoo, indicating first
his approval of different sections in
each. The president said that these
three measures were the only ones
before him at present and that the
present object of the currency con-

agreement on a measure to be

COUNTY RECORDS
ARE DESTROYED
DELAWARE COURTHOUSE AND
RECORDS DESTROYED BY FIRE
OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN.

Jay, Okla, May 31.-The court
house building together with all the
records of Delaware county, with the
possible exception of the records of
the register of deeds office, were de-
stroyed early Friday morning by a
fire of unknown origin.
The building was a two-story frame
structure, occupied on the ground
floor by a mercantile establishment,
while the second floor was devoted
to courthouse purposes.
That the fire was of incendiary Or
igin is suspected, owing to the bitter
contest waged between the towns OF
Old Jay and New Jay during the
past two years, and which had it's
elimination last winter in an armed
mob surrounding the building to pre-
vent the books and furniture being
removed to the William Creekmore
building in New JOY.
What loss will be suffered by Del
aware county, owing to the loss of
the county records, is problematical
at the present time.
1t is feared that the destruction
will intensity the quarrel between TIE
rival towns, though citizens of New
Jay vigorously deny that the building
was set afire by any of their num-
ber and refer to the fact that they
abided by the final decision which To-
Gated the county seat at Old Jay.
