Why He Likes Knickers

''Ive finally decided that Knockers
are practical garment for men," de-
clared golfer. ~ wore an old pair
today and just before l started out I
bought several new balls, rendered a
bill in payment and received some sill
yer in change. This thrust into my
pocket. There happened to he hole
in this pocket and when l came in
reached down for the change. 1t was
gone. Now, If had been wearing
long trousers I'd have lost that money.
But, since wore socks outside my
Knockers, all had to do was to search
the proper sock. And there was my
money. That's why I'm so certain
that Knockers are very practical gar
ment."

Experts Would Make
Cemetery Like Park

"A remarkable change Is appearing
In the cemeteries and on the memo
rial stones Of America as a result of
he efforts Of memorial dealers to in
corporate art in design" says Prof.
w. Fl. Varnum Of the department Of
applied arts in the University Of Wis
consin.
1--WE are trying to get away from
the lack Of beauty Of the older GENE
terry monument" says Professor Var
mum, by eliminating the unnatural
looking granite blocks with heavy
bases. Monument experts are trying
to make cemeteries more like parks
with memorials that harmonic with
nature.
Memorials in the future will be
personalized. Line rather than elab-
crate floral design will characterize
the deceased person. A successful
scientists memorial. for example.
should be Il slim obelisk. showing the
successful termination Of a strong life
that has led In one direction"
Symbolic lines also would suggest
the youth rather than an ornamental
design which 'slops over" In taste and
sentiment. The youths memorial
would likely be tapered but not point
ed. so as to suggest an abrupt ending
Of a young. life. 1t would be Of lighter
material and with q small base.
A mausoleum, according to Profes-
sor varnum, should be simple In line
and set apart from the surrounding
memorials so as to give it an adequate
setting. The overuse of elaborate
floral design has been due, in part, he
points out, to the process of sand
blasting for enrichment Of the plain
stone. The process has been cheap
and has therefore been used to excess.
The former demand for huge blocks of
granite has been due. in part, to the
effort Of dealers to give as much for
the money as possible.
In many cemeteries now the au-
thorities are formulating and enforc.
Ing regulations as to the design and
size Of memorials and causing their
height to correspond to the immediate
surrounding topography.

adopted in 1868 which permits re.
marriage of divorced persons under
certain conditions.
Launched by the sanctity of mar
riage association. which includes
such church leaders as Bishop Will
liam r. Manning, New York, the
movement will be carried directly
into the Episcopal convention at
New Orleans in October. The real
controversy is expected on whether
the church should again revert to
its old laws that marriage be denied
to all divorced persons.
At present the Episcopal Canons
permit remarriage of the "innocent
party under certain conditions,
in eases where divorce was granted
in the grounds of infidelity.
The sanctity of marriage associa-
tion asks repeal of this Canon, de
claring it is opposed to all the early
teachings of the church without
support in any portions of the
Bible.
