which is on the eve Of becoming
as much a part Of our rich heri-
tage as apple pie or Ebbetts
Field. Clothing which you can
wash tonight, hang up to drip
dry and wear tomorrow without
pressing is neither fashion nor
fad. It's here to stay and in five
years We'll wonder how we ever
got along without 1t.
This fabric achievement is mo-
mentous because 1t cancels the
bothersome and expensive oper-
atoms of cleaning and pressing.
For this reason women have been
buying nylon and orion sweaters
and blouses by the warehouseful.
Men who have to appear at the
Office in q fresh shirt and tie

since the price has begun coming

Now on the market, this suit
is the product Of q New Orleans
manufacturer who makes only
summer suits. It is a good
looking cord blended Of IS per

nylon and is made In q number
of colors, including darks, such
as blue. charcoal and brown,
which are suitable for business

most when the wearer takes a
trip, arrives at his hotel dis
guised as q damp and dirty sack
o. spuds and ruefully contem-
plates the scheduled meeting
with the big prospect tomorrow
at 8 am. sharp. He peels of
his heaven sent sack, scrubs 1t
awhile in the wash basin, hangs
it up and next day. if looks can
sell, he's in. Chances are his
hotel room is not equipped with
a washing machine, but that's
the way the wife can wash it at
home.
If he has another wash-and-
wear in his luggage he should
have taken it out upon reaching
his room and hung it up to let
the wrinkles fall out-which they
should do during the time it
takes to wash suit "a" A couple
of these suits can be folded into

After two world wars we all
know that no individual can
have independence If his coun-
try is enslaved. The celebration
Of the Fourth of July in the
United States Of America is
heartwarming and inspiring be-
cause today we are especially
aware, after such recent ex-
perience, Of the vision and
beauty Of the principles which
so dramatically were set forth in
the Declaration of independence.
Every man and woman today
is conscious of the fact that the
world has shrunk. When 1t
takes only eight hours to go by
plane from New York to Los
Angeles. when you can leave
New York at Z In the evening
and eat breakfast over London,
the next morning. distance as
we know 1t il smaller.
So, there Is no such thing any
more as complete independence
for q nation or an individual.
There still remains in much Of
the world the right Of choice, of
integrity and independent deci-
sion.
Lonely, Too
Today I am thinking especially
of personal independence. There
isn't any such thing if you live
richly apd wish to- be happy.
Find the man or woman who
can be completely independent,
who can do at any moment what
he or she wishes without con-
sidering any one else, with no re-
SponSibilities or obligations to
anyone in particular; find the
man or woman who feels that his
or her actions will have no i'm
pact on anyone else, and you will
have found the loneliest person
in the world.
So, when life gets pretty rug
ged and you feel that you may
be carrying more than your
share, stop and think, and give
thanks that you are at least
right in the middle of life. Give
thanks even though 1t is hectic
and hard at times.
Some independence
OF course. the happy medium
Is the thing we long for, but it
is extremely elusive. Many folks
do not make individual choices
