by Herr M. Won Simson delegated by
the German government to sign for
Germany the protocol guaranteeing the
enforcement of the peace treaty and

Sockless Era Coming For
Men? May Be Possibility
milwaukee Journal


The sockleSs era now is here,
And up and down the busy street
You soon will see the gents appear
In handsome hosieryless feet.
And as those feet go twinkling by
(Perhaps some raw ones will be
lame)
Peeved haberdashery men will cry:
This sockless fad is a skin
camel"
The shade of Jerry Simpson, sock
less Kansas statesman, possibly reg
listers a wreathy smile of approval as
the sockless millennium audaciously
advances in skin-draped shins. While
Governor Lowden and others high in
Illinois ofncialdom. 1t is reported, are
becoming sedately sockless, haber-
dashers are wondering whether hose
less heroes are due to make their ad-
vent on the avenue here.
The prospect that masculine Mil
covered ankles isn't causing hosiery
manufacturers any anxiety, however.
"Foolishness," said ]. E. Fitzgib-
bon. of hosiery company. I'VE have
all we can do to fill our regular hos
iery orders without worrying about
bare possibilities No, we haven't
decided to make any new types of
peek-a-boo socks with windows in
them, or those built of mosquito net
ting for wearers who desire free
ankle ventilation. Men who want the
Zephyrs to tickle their shins can go
sockless if they choose. We should
worry"
