WORDS, WIT AND WISDOM
THE BERRYS
THE POTTS
MRS. Fits FLATS
BY WILLIAM NORRIS

"On a recent radio program, "
writes a Chicago reader. IAN
explanation of the origin of
mad as a halter was given.
The expert on the show said
that a certain CHI m c a |
mercury. perhaps used in
the making of hats poisoned
matters, with the result that
they had a sort of perpetual
case of the filters. People
noticing their incessant trem-
bling thought they we're insane
and thus the expression mad
as a halter was born. I've
heard another explanation
somewhere but I can't recall
what it is. Can you help out?"
The explanation l have al
ways found more believable
than the one quoted holds that
chatter" is really a variant
form of the Anglo-Saxon word
latter" Gaming poison.
"Atter." of course, is closely
related to "adder"-the venom
GUS viper whose sting was
thought to cause insanity. This
explanation has much to re-
commend it. For one thing it
explains why the phrase. in
one form or another. was cur
rent before hatmaking became
a recognized trade. Secondly.
1t removes the stigma from an
otherwise honorable means OF
employment.
incidentally, the wide pop
ularity Of the phrase can be
credited to Lewis Carroll whose
Mad Halter in Alice in
Wonderland" is one Of our
most delightful comic creations.
The phrase itself, however, was
used often before CAROLS time.

creamy pomade tones down
grayness and makes your
hair look young again; like
it did before it turned old
and gray.
Gray, streaked. drab,
mousey hair is re-colored so
gradually, and blended so
perfectly with the natural
color of your hair that no
one can tell you are using
anything but a fine hair
dressing.
It's real easy to do at
home. Rub a little Herbold
Pomade into your hair, Gas

directions, no patch tests,
no mixing, no timing, no
mess or bother. No confu-
sion about shades. Just one
Herbold Pomade, adds the
right color for your hair.
Herbold Pomade is not q
coal tar dye, tint or rinse.
That's why you never have
