Why Creased Pants

It is interesting to note that the
crease down the front of trousers
is the result of a royal accident.
King Edward VII of England, hav-
ing slipped from his horse and
fallen into a ditch, a local tailor
was hurriedly asked to supply
fresh trousers. These he so tight
ly packed in a box that each
leg was neatly creased. The king
"adopted" creased trousers, and
thus started a lasting fashion.

Ukrainians Are Russians
With Their Own Republic

The Ukrainians are Russians,
and they have a republic of their
own which is a constituent men,
Der Of the Union of Socialist So
Wet Republics. By origin, how
ever, they differ from the "Great
Russians" and they have their
own language. Their land is one
of the most fertile in the world |;
hence the German desire to con-
quer it.
Ukrainians were often in conflict
with the Cars of Russia, but the
disappearance of their native aris-

their nationalisn.

The Mercury fountain, exhibited

because the "a gallons of mercury
