Why Cowboys
Wear Chaps

To the Editor Of The Times
I am sure the man who answered
the question in your columns-"Of
what use are chaps worn by cowboys?'
stating they were originally worn to
protect the trousers from the natural
wear caused by rubbing against the
saddles and the horses side, and that
nowadays they are worn for decora-
tive purposes-did not get his lessons
from the boy who punched the cow
Everything a cowboy wears has a
special use and is not worn for orna-
mental purposes. A man could not
ride the range without chaps. He
must have them to protect his legs
from the wind and from the brush
Of the thickets. His pants win take
care Of themselves.
Hat Must Be Heavy
Imagine riding all night after cattle
with the sharp winds and sleet blow
ing against your numb legs. and you
can see why a cowboy. II he can afford
IL. will have a pair Of chaps made Of
bear skin or sheep skin. He has
no use for superhuous trap
pings His hat must be Just
as it is-heavy, with big brim and
high crown to protect him against hail
and sun.
When ! was boy 1 got caught in
hailstorm on the plains and was al
most beaten insensible by the hail
until l took shelter under a mans
legs. He was protected by the big
hat and all he had to do was to fold
his arms and stand straddle of me.
The big handkerchief the cowpunch
er wears is not ornamental. The wind
comes up suddenly and Is so strong
it blows sand in the eyes. That hand
kerchief Is tucked up under and be-
comes veil.
To Make Stir1'up Safe
The high heels on the boots are not
ornamental or for style. They have
to be there to make the stirrup safe.
The high heels keep the boot from
slipping through the stirrup If the
horse starts something. Many rider
owes his life to his high heels.
His As six-shooter is not to kill
people with. He has to have 1t to stop
the leading steer in a stampede. His
gun helps him in getting the cattle
to milling or running in circle, He
does not carry a gun because he is a
bad man. The cowboy Of the plains
was not much to show off and wear
ornaments. His long watches on the
prairie and solitude made him shy at
many things.
The movie and the shows make him
a little different.

There he grew to know a drug "flend"

University surroundings carried
a different atmosphere than he had
ever before experienced. The fell
lows made him feel at home. Never

But Chambers goes on to explain
that out Of his entire observation he
failed to find a permanent cure. The
man whom he took to the frat house
kept away from the drug for q year.
