Modern Nellie
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Siafl Correspondent YyASHINGION, Sept. 27.~The subject today is what. you might call fundamental: Pants. Those things you don’t have in nightmares. Man's most important possession. What happened (as I'm trying
‘I not to let you forget) is that the
army contracted to ship me around the world in six ahd one
quarter days, starting tomorrow afternoon at 8 o'clock. | Having filled me full of viruses, anti-toxins and serums so I won't catch any diseases en route to the Himalayas and back again on the other side of the globe, the army “sald I would, ‘of course, travel as a va correspondent. » » THAT sutomadsaliy makes me famous. I am the first war core respondent to be accredited since the shooting stopped. I feel safe, but foolish, ° Even a warless war correspondent has got to wear a war correspondent's uniform (I'll get around to those pants in_ a minute). So the captain introduced me to the colonel who gave me a letter to the lieutenant at the army officers’ haberdashery on Connecticut ave, across the street from the Mayflower hotel
w . » . THIS is a store as is a store; the only shop I've seen in four years which dares to pile shirts and shorts in plain view of the customers. All the clerks are ladies, helpful as they are handsomo. 80 one of these beauties sald what did I want? I said I was going around the world and be lieved I'd need a pair of pants. ” » . SHE said that was a long trip and. did I think one palr was enough? I said six days for a pair of pants didn't seem unreasonable. She sald what size? I said I wasn't exactly sure. Did you ever have a blonde lovely in a .pink dress measure you for a pair of pants? It is an experience you should miss if you can't help it. And if this sounds confused, that's the idea,

ances, his vocabulary limited to three or four words. His legs still are partially paralyzed, they hang like those of a rag doll as his mother “walks” him for exercise, Meanwhile, as Donald struggles to regain his health, the criminal goes free. Yet while one person heattlessly left the youth lying by the roadside, countless other Indianapolis people gave from their hearts to make the boy comfortable. Besides the bed, Donald has been glven many other presents in clothing ‘and food.
I TRIED on my new pants, pri vately in a dressing room with a folding chair. They were a good fit, making me look neat like a bowling ball in a zippered case. They cost $2.40. I defy anybody to travel around the world and spend less for pants. The lady said she thought I'd need some shirts and we settled for-a-couple of these at $2.50 each. Why a shirt costs 10 cents more in the army than a pair of pants, she could not explain, She said there were many mys« teries in the army she had not yet fathomed. She said would I like to look at neckties?
» . ” I PICKED out a couple of beauties, the color of mud, for 26 cents each. The lady sold me six pairs of socks (same shade) at 17 cents per pair, so that I won't have to do .any washing in Calcutta or Lullang. Six days, six pairs of socks is the way I figure. A belt of fine webbing cost me 20 cents and an overseas cap set me back 60 cents. That left only the fancy jewelry, The beauty in pink said
