~, HIS column Is dedicated today
toward the PRONUNCIATION OF q
national sock-mending day.
49,
We have, so far. preparedness day.
flag day peace day. all sorts Of days.
yet the Observation-Disclosures
for-unattached bachelors and other
males has not been set aside.
When the war in Europe broke out
one of the first things one heard about.
after the latest gossip concerning the
royal families and their relationship,
was the question Of socks.
Z The nations of the world wanted
whole socks.
We as a nation today stand for pre-
paredness. Whole socks are needed.
/. Yet. II is safe to say that nine out or
every ten men cannot go to their bu-
feeling of perfect trust and security.
Ten or fifteen of the most precious
minutes of the day. in the life of the
average man. are wasted hunting for a
whole pair Of socks.
Especially does this demand for I'M
impaired hose make itself felt in the
summer. low SnOe, Wnlle COmIOrI-
able. makes 1t almost impossible to
hide the large, gaping orinces at the
rear OF the foot
Some men will undoubtedly come for
ward with the statement that they get
along well enough without having their
socks darned. Captains of industry who
do not wish to grant the holiday from
grinding toll so that some may stay at
home to darn the socks. and others to
have THE PAIR OF SOCKS darned.
Will offer suggestions.
The fact that Gorgeous Pernicious
Guzzlemie rher painted the holes with
the shoe backing is no sign that others
care to do so.
The fact that Ezekiel Spoodle. of the
firm of Soodle, Snoodle & Doodle, used
to lasso the hole in his socks with a
piece, Of string is no sign that William
Corwbck Warcoran can endure the pain
resultant of such an action.
The fact that the Rev. Aloysious Wolf
committed the only deception in his life
by successfully pinning and folding all
holes in socks for twenty years, Is no
sign that Willie Hicks. the yeggman's
son, can get away with any such STALL.
1t requires too much care and scientific
manipulation. Besides II calls for a GER
tain brand of square walking. foot
Tapping method of gait which is noise
some.
There is no alternative. The socks
of the world should be mended. All we
need is governmental sanction for a le-
gal holiday
Time saved in hunting for holeless
socks in the morning could be added to
the general office time, and in less
than a year the twenty-four hours of
the holiday could be made up.
And what. you may ask. inspired this
treatise?

way to mending. a batch of socks, left

day school for employed boys is
being inaugurated by the Young Mems
Christian association. 1t has grown out
of a realization of the fact that no mat
ter how eager to learn working boy
may be, it is difficult for him to con-
centrate his mind and study at night
when tired out by days hard work.
The success of the movement will de-
pend largely upon the road-mindedness
and liberality of the merchants of the
city in cooperating. Two of the largest
and most progressive firms have been the
first to arrange for the boys in their
employ to attend the Y. M. G. A. school
on company time. The school will be
held from to 10 a. m. three days a
week.
The subjects taught will be arithmetic,
English, spelling, penmanship and bust
ness economics. The teacher will be
Floyd Tillery, superintendent of the
Boys club. The management of this
club is so interested in the welfare of
the working boys of the city that they
are giving Mr.. Tillery's services to the
school.

as true to his country as he is to his
wife, Heaven help the U. S. A''
But the one that l confess to liking
best is the sparkling little Hawaiian
ditty:
Somehow after it was over, we all
went away humning that adorable little
chorus:
"she had Hula Hula Hickey Bula in
her walk;
She had q Ukalele- icki-wacki- Valley
in her talk;
Beneath the big Hawaiian moon,
Beneath the banyan tree they'd spoon;
And he'd keep trying to talk Hawaiian
on that pretty night in June.
She had naughty winky- blinky in her
eye;
She had a ome-and-kiss-m e-don't -dare
to-miss-me in her sigh;
Beneath the banyan parasol
She couldn't talk his talk at all
But oh, how she could Yacki-Hacki-

No wonder when you sing this exotic
little Hawaiian melody with all its sway

and it's contagious charm of the banyan
moon, that the audience smiles and
smiles and applauds and applauds, ard
like the little boy who ate the cake,

it can be; just "wicSi-wacki" enough
