DEAR BOSS:
THE other day one Of the fell

embarrassing 10 a distinguished
American statesman TO live
under the menace Of an exposed
shirt tail and beside at the
prices we pay these guys in the
Senate there is an economic loss
70 the taxpayers in a senator
spending time on a shirt tail.
FINALLY Senator Maybank
Il got sore. He denounced the
regulations requiring the trim
ming Of the length Of shirts
below adequate anchorage as
senSelesS.
He said he is assembling data
with a view 10 asking the
Senate 20 authorize a shirt tail
investigation and many gentle
imen who have the same senti-
iments about long shirt tails az
the senator viii probably
approve.
Personally ! feel that there
are matters Of greater impor-
lance that should have congress
sional attention, such as the
return OF pleatS TO trousers,
and more elastic for the waist
bands OF Jockey shorts" the
little under panties that many
citizens prefer 10 the volumi-
nous old fashioned picnic draw
ers that are the fancy OF other
gents.
THE SHORT shirt tail in my
Il opinion is merely a matter
Of manipulation and was solved
long before the war IN Holly
wood. Cal, where many Of the
hot men just let the shirt tails
have hang out Of the waist
hang out OF the waiStband Of
the trousers This permits
greater ventilation Of the torso.
But If a man insists on closer
connection between the shirt
tETtS and the trousers, ne can
have buttonh lies worked
around the waist line Of the
short tailed shirt and attach
them 10 the suSpender buttons
on the inside Of the waiStband
Of the trousers. This is a re-
vival Of the method by which
mothers used 20 retain COM
munication between the shirts
sand pants on their male Off
spring.
The attached shirt eliminates
the necessity for suspenders
or belt and after some practice
YOU can don both garments
with one movement, which is
great time saver II becomes a
one-picce affair, like a woman's
dress. / have always Thought
that a man has to go through
too many motions in dressing
because Of the number of his
garments. There are nearly one
hundred motions 10 this process
as against two hundred for a
woman.
