GOOSE HANGS HIGH
BY CHUTE TO JOIN
CATERPILLAR CLUB

GUTHRIE, Okla, Aug. 5.-Os-
wald, probably the only para
chute-jumping goose in the world,
has joined the Caterpillar club.
Something went wrong with the
rigging of Oswald's tiny Chute at
an air circus here the other day,
and it proved so much excess bag
gage when he dropped earthward
from a ship piloted by Jim Clark
of Guthrie.
The goose descended under his
own power, with the unopened
parachute trailing out behind.

Rotten Politics

We hear lot Of preaching and shouting these days
about purity in politics" and about the great ideals'
Of the political parties.
Particularly here in the National Capital is the shout
ing loud for here concentrated those in office who
(pubcly at eas urge the purity and profess the ideals
IF those in command of the parties, both the one
in pOUer and the one in the minority, in any IUGy
sincere IUen they talk of keeping politics clean and
of giving the people chance to rule, they wu i'm
nredGteLY take steps to clean up the rotten political
situation Ohch exists in the District of Columbia
The residents Of this city have no vote in either the
local or national elections
But as members Of the Democratic and Republican
parties they have the privilege Of being represented in
the national conventions Of their parties.
THAT Is, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS
PRIVILEGE, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PERSIST
EMILY AND CONSISTENTLY ROBBED OF THE
OPPORTUNITY OF EXERCISING IT.
Small groups of sO-called 'party leaders, have de-
sroyed any vesge Of representation in the delegations
which are sent to the conventions.
They pick and pluck the prospective delegates by
hand and the average member Of the party has voice
and no choice in the selection.
Bills to remedy this condition are pending in both the
House and Senate.
They confer new privilege voteless people.
They simply provide that the privileges that our
people are now SUPPOSED to enjoy shall be AC-
TUALLY enjoyed.
The measures, however, are being pigeOn:holed and
have been for years.

It's something that demorallzeS

PASSING GLORIES

There are a lot Of folks in
Washington catching their breath
today over the news that comes
from Frankfort, KY, to the effect
that all commissions as Kentucky
colonies have expired and that
they were of doubtful legality in
the first place.
Kentucky's attorney general has
announced that although former
Gov. Ruby Laffoon appointed
about 5000 colonelS, admirals,
majors and other officers, he has
been unable to find any authority
ever granted the governor to ere
ate honorary officers.
The sudden loss Of official
titles extends like a blanket over
the National Capital.
It goes from the White House
into remote offices and shops. all
Of which have been boasting OF
their Kentucky colonelcieS.
Maybe Congress will find some
way to make good the loss.

green if the blood mantles your
classic features.
We seem to be coming, indeed,
to an era in which color in dress
once more will be the privilege
of our sex. It has been 10! these
many years since we males dareo
to sport bright plumage. We are,
indeed, the only male creatures
in all nature who have been rele-
gated by the dictates Of fashion
to sombre shades.
In all the kingdoms Of horn
and hide and feather, among all
the varied beasts and birds, it is
the male who struts valiantly in
bright hues with all the trim
mings Of crest and plumage, but
genus homo must go about very
drably-or at least up until now
that the master tailorS have
spoken the word.
A couple of centuries ago-yes,
even one century ago-we were
able to indulge whatever personal
fancy we may have had for scin-
tillant hues. When Louis lie
Grand held court at Versailles
the gentlemen OF his encourage
were as much concerned over
their silks and velvets as any lady
Of the court. How they Shone,
those gallant cavaliers!
Nor was it all foppery, for
among those brilliant buds, whose
habilimentS dared the very sun
light, were the best soldiers OF
Europe, men of true valance, men
quick to lay hand on sword hilt;
stout fellows who knew how to
take 1t.
OUR CHOICE
It was the same all Europe over,
and those gay fashions travelled
across the Atlantic with the ships
that brought the cavaliers to
Maryland and Virginia. AS 1t
happened, we modernS took our
color standards from the sober
PuritanS Of New England-thoSe
rather dour fellows in whose very
bones was bred the notion that
color in masculine apparel was
offensive.
And, of course, the existence in
the new land forbade men folk to
go about in fancy fripperieS. The
forest had to be cleared, the roads
had to be built; the whole work Of
building a new nation in stress and
strife and hard labor had to be
done, and mems costumes had to
be suitable to all those hard tasks.
And so, as the years rolled by, we
became accustomed and Injured to
Sedate raiment. We lost our last
frillS about 100 years ago. But
now, so the master tailors aver
somber tones are to be displaced
by gay hueS. The tide Of fashion
is flowing more strongly toward
color than it has for the last three
generations. Masculine peacocl
pride, guarded so long in the secre
cy of lounging robes and pajamas
comes prancing into the public
light Of day.
Champagne and midnight blue
tuxedos: dinner suits in lively hueE
of burgundy, maroon, plum, emer
aid green, twilight blue, and Caprt
blue. Dinner coats in gulf stream

markD orange.
