(By United Press)
LONDON. Aug. 22. — Mere man Is !
willing to wear semi-military breeches
and other "rational" clothing If wo
men will wear 'em, too. Then, the
man-person figures, neither sex will be
apt to do any tittering over the shnpe
of the other's legs.
English tailors have devised a uni
form for civilian wear, with the hope
of simplifying clothes production. It
consists of tunic, slightly military,
breeches resembling those worn by
the cavalry, puttees or stockings and
cap.
Many people, men and women,
showed alarm over the suggested re
form and were promptly accused of
hiding bow legs, knock knees and ab
sent calves. The ow'ners of shapely
underpinnings, especially the men, are
perfectly willing to have a showdown.
One of the rules of the “rational
dress” movement is that pads don't
go.
-♦—;
A number of important mining deals
are reported under way in the Willow
creek mining district, the consumma
tion of which will mean the expendi
ture of several hundred thousand dol
lars in development work in that d s
trlct In the near future.

The Douglas cable office, which was
closed recently because of the short
age of signal corps men to run it, has
been reopened with a new man from
the states in charge.

WEDEN SAVES FAT
FROM RAT CARCASSES.
(By Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 23. — The efty
uthorities have begun a campaign
gainst rats by offering a reward of
bout 2 1-2 cents for every carcass
lelivered. While It is hoped thus to
educe the rat plague considerably,
he chief end Is to secure an Important
iddition to the stocks of fats available
or the making of soaps and lubri
■nnts. The rat carcasses are treated
n a "corpse utilization establishment,'
where, after the fat has been boiled
jut, what remains Is converted Into
l poultry food. South Sweden has
for some time been utilizing cadav
srs of various animals In this way.
A considerable amount of fat Is also
secured by skimming large containers
placed In the sewers lending from ho
tels, restaurants and other places
where there is an unavoidable waste
of fat.
