MEMS RIGHTS.

The sutfra gists have their per
spective twisted. 1t isn't the
women whose rights are denied
them-it' s the men. SO argues
an editorial writer in the Kansas
City journal. Take the matter OF
clothes. for example. There is
rank discrimination in favor of
the women.
What does woman have to
wear during the oppressive dog
days2' demands the journal man.
And he answers: Zone low
necked, sleeveless, mosquito-uet-
int gown. One pair silk stock
i"~s. One pair slippers. That s
all"
1t may be questioned whether
the list is complete. even for
Kansas City. Possibly
the journal man has exaggerated
Or rather minimized. But at its
fullest. the summer custom of
lovely woman takes on an ex-
tremely low visibility when COM
pared with the list given for
males. Here it is: Zone coat.
one vest. one pair trousers, one
shirt with starched collar, one
pair socks, one pair shoes, one
union suit, one hat. one pair sus-
penders. one belt (surelv this is
merely local Kansas City COM
bination), one necktie."
And when perspirlng man
tries to assert his freedom. what
happens? eff he takes his coat
off in hot restaurant. he is
thrown out. If he takes his tight
collar off, he is a RUDE. If he
wore his trousers slit up to the
knee. he would be sent to the in
sane asylum"
And it is feminine tyranny that !
imposes these miseries on men.
Let's have a mems party Town
Talk. ,

be elected. you must vote for
two. as the law provides where
q voter fails to do this, his ballot
