It ought to be apropos, hen, in this scorching season sty led Summ-r, to bring up a sirring subject which poor males are continual* ly waging hot under the collar (among other places) about, but which they do next to nothing to correct. E evate your optics, for instance, and note the five-pound difference in weight between womens and men’s Summer garb. The two center figures were posed by Virginia Green and T. M. McKeown, of Chicago, to supply graphic evidence of this glaring hot inequality between the sexes.

However, it wasn’t apparent I just how fnr apart men and women ( w: re in this important respect unitn an enterprising photographer in jChica.o posed pretty Virginia Green and T. M. McKeown in bath- ; ing suits while tlTey weighed their j respective street clothes. The result was all a confirmed . pessimist could ask for. Not only -did the poor, suffering male's clothing out weigh the girl's usual street I garb, but it sent the scale’s fateful hand down, with a dull, sickening j thud„ to a point, which registered live pounds heavier than the mark touched by Milady's flimsy, but cool and comfortable ajiparel. Miss Green's clothing for instance weighed 1 3-4 pounds, while McKeown's collection tipped the scales at 6 3-4 just five whole pounds (heavier. it's possible that man, after arj riving at a semi-delirious state from Itemising these discouraging facts, . w ill sjage it revolution and seriously take up some of the outfits designed to keep the tired business man ; cool. can pick his robes of freedom

Brady was sentenced to three '(years in the state penitentiary, and has set veil more than six months of his term. He said he did not remember killing the girl, a 28-year- , old court stenographer, with whom he acknowledged he "had an affair" ; He said be was intoxicated at the tinn . The former judge was classified, as an all convic . a.rdi.g to his | physical condition He is now 60 | Prison officials have made use | of both his extensive legal training and his high education. He has not been made a trusty, although prison officials say he follows every prison rule. 0 S COUNTY AGENT S ° COLUMN a s Plant Turnip Seed Now Says Purdue Gardener For tiie best results in getting [quality and yield in turnips the seed should be planted now. says W.

Due to the depression it might j 1 be advisable to favor the pajamas; this year. One pair could be reserv-: led for street wear, and the other) 1 for customary place. Os course, if ) 1 j one is rolling in wealth, a different; : pair, with a distinctive color scheme i 1 • might be paraded for every day in ‘ 1 the week with an especially resplenI | dent outfit for Sunday.

MAYAS USED COLORED JADE FOR FILLINGS —' Expedition Found Teeth inlaid With Precious Stone Chicago —(UP)—The ancient [ Mayas of Central America went to Ihe dentist not because they had a| toothache but because it was the I ! smart thiirg to do. A jumping tooth- j ;aehe might have been allowed to I : wear itself out, but the adornment i lot teeth with inlaid fillings of bright !c bored jade was something else. J Erie Thompson, leader of the I Third Marshall FJe.ld Expedition to I ' British Honduras, brought this in- ' formation back to the Field Mus-; I eum of Natural History together i with a description of the methods ‘ employed to gain the desired dental ; decoration. Thompson, who brought back a| ] number of sets of human teeth | equipped with the jade fillings, rei vealed that the proedss depended! , largely on the use of a sharpened . j stone turned by a string bow. This i i instrument ia the hands of one of > l the old women, who comprised he I I dental fraternity in those days, was | capable of producing a great deal ! of unpliasantness. But so was the I wasp waist of the nineties. Old re- ‘ | cords indicate that the smarter set I jof ancient Mayan society for the-l j most pait bore the beautifying proI cess with a display of Spartan-like 1 fortitude. Jade was used because it ! and copper were .he precious melais of the Mayas Gold was coini mon enough to be used in household utensils. Articles Tell History Fifteen burial mounds excavated i near San Jose, British Honduras, ; revealed a number of articles illustrative of the culture and the cus-i • toms of the Mayas. Skulls showing the results of the common practice of deformation by binding planks to the forehead during childhood were discovered, as I j well as bowls containing skulls of persons who had taken a prominent • unenviable pait in the sacrificial' death rites of which the Mayas were so fond and which usually | were performed on a Jiigh platform • . where all the multitude could see. Jewelry and trinkets discovered I I by Thompson included large jade : | ear plugs weighing more than three ' jounces each; jade amulets; pearls, which are a rare find among Maya burials; arlistlealty x-arved bowls. | contents of a child's giave, including clay dolls with whistles; and' | peculiar flint implements shaped
