AMERICANS STILL ARE

Pears often are expressed that wc
moderns are becoming flabby, phy-
sically, mentally and morally.
Pessimists frequently point out for
instance, that soft food eventually
will deprive us of our teeth and the
automobile of our legs; that nudists,
strip-teasers, and the like are cor-
rupting our morals; and that pre-
digested ideas, served up In books,
newspapers, and radio, are weaken-
ing our minds.
It was not thus, we learn, In
grandpa’s day. Then, It seems, men
were men; and chores, church meet-
ings and cracker barrel debates

To understand how significant is
this information, it is necessary to
delve into the history of red flannel
underwear, starting — as the saying
goes — from scratch.
To begin with, it is a contempor-
ary of the buggy, horse trough,
atereopticon, mustache cup, and
wooden Indian which now can be
aeeri only in mfiseums; and of the
horse, which, on city streets, is al-
most as much an object of curiosity
as the giant panda.
Doubt clouds the origin of red
flannel underwear. Some believe it
an offspring of the penitential sack-
cloth and ashes. Others vow it was
"the Invention of one of the more In-
human managers of the Spanish In-
quisition.
In any event, If half the stories
told about it are true, wearing old-
fashioned red flannel underwear
through a church sermon was an or-
deal that would have made a Spart-
an bite his lips.
To boys especially was it said to
be a batie, and not only because of
the physical discomfort. In the old

had arrested and charged the pick-
ets with violating the ordinance but
later decided not to interfere with
j the picketing.
j District Attorney K. C, Barkley
i referred the seamen’s charges con-
; cerning the Christmas Eve fight to
j the grand jury. Seven policemen
j had been charged with aggravated
, assault in connection with the inci-
dent.
Strike leaders went to Barkley’s
office to file additional charges but
they were referred to the grand jury.
Both Barkley and the police de-
department took a "hands off” atti-
tude and announced the situation
was a problem for the grand jury.
Acting Police Chief R. T. Honea
said he was of the opinion the only
mistake the police made was in not
arresting the seamen and charging
them with rioting. He claimed the
Strikers were holding an "unlawful
assembly.”
