Sir: Now that men have presumed to die

they shall wear ! hope, when the women do
secure their rights TO voice in the govern
ment they Will dictate TO US men that we
shall not wear tight collars and long cuffs

men with breaths Of whiskey, tobacco and
beer TO enter crowded cars or other crowded
places where We are compelled TO breathe
over and over again the same air. II seems
20 me that the style Of boot one wears does
not cause discomfort or inconvenience to any
