Leave us consider first, Brutus, the dollar - and - twenty - six - cent. words which the fashion smarties have re-defined to accompany this off-trend in women’s clothes. We have, for instance, the “barc color called “shockmg plnk mldrlfl" (,ulfl isn’t ll.” Cflmpletclv clear. “Midriff” is ever so much more elegant than “belly.” But as nifty as is that one, Bru- tus, the “plunging neckline” has got it beat. That’s tops. Think of all the blushes that the phrase has saved. Think how long it's been since you have seen a blush of any kind, for that matter. And do you know, Brutus, how a gal can make over her old dress or blouse to give it a plunging neck- line? Simple as the name itself, chum. Where she used three but- tons, she would now use one. There are a couple more names for stylish nakedness we may tarry over, Brutus.

Need Big Barrels In the states, the gauges use an eight-inch can, about 25 inches deep. But in Alaska, the receiving container had to be capable of holding a total precipitation of 200 inches, plus an amount of cal- cium chloride, which serves to melt the snow and prevent the contents from - freezing, and a film of oil, which prevents evaporation from the container. Codd laughingly told today how he started figuring on the use of a 30-gallon barrel, only to find We Do NOT Patronize Montgomery Ward Co.

One stickler when the big Alas- kan gauges were built was in this weighing process. In the states, the small storage can is merely lifted from the gauge and weighed, but it wasn’t very practical to ex- pect observers to lug a scale large. enough to give accurate weight on a 55-gallon barrel of liquid. clear up to the summit of Mount Ro- berts.
