The nightcap IS an old-fash-
ioned affair, either crochetted
or bottled. Some men wear
them on their heads, others on
their stomachs. You tell one
by its tassel and the other by
its kick.
The crochetted nightcap isn't
SO bad. It's Just a crochetted
nightcap. But the bottled night
cap is a treacherous and nova
bic feast. A nightcap at night,
it becomes an eyeopener in the
morning; an appetizer at noon
and cocktail at dinner. The
Jekyll and Hyde of nightcaps,
as it were.
The man who sleeps with one
nightcap on his head and an
other on his tummie usually
takes them both off in the
morning and puts on a crouch.
And he who wears a nightcap
on his head may wear a flower
on his coat, but he who wears a
nightcap on his stomach wears
a BOSOM on his nose.
Nightcaps ought to be abol-
ished. All of them. About the
only thing they ever accomplish
anyhow is badness of the pate
or cirrhosis of the liver.

To get the perspective. it should be

powerful political influence. which it
wieIds to strengthen Purdue University:
as state institution it is supposed to
foster agricultural education in the
state. Lake county pays to the state
$4,000 in taxes for state fund for vo-
cational training. Part Of this fund is
turned over to Purdue which it in turn
pays back directly $1,000 to Lake county
in the way of the county agents salary.
