It was an elegant parade, too, in which the. citizens got ‘mixed up with the marchers, all the bands played different tunes at once, beautiful ladies got squirted by perambulating fountains, small boys tangled with Army tanks and the entire proceédings turned ‘into a damp mass of happy humanity.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 3—Martin J, Newman, a worried-looking gent in his late 40's, said today he has what is probably the un-funniest job a -man_could get stuck with. But try sto tell anybody “that. > All he has to do is name his occupation, he says, and the belly-laughs begin. “1,” sighed Mr. Newman, “sell brassieres.” And he has; he says; been forced to listen to. every tired, old gag anybody ‘ever thought up on thie subject. “They tell me my job has ‘its points’"” Newman sing-songed in desperation, ‘‘that’s 'something they know ‘a thing or two about,’ that I might put up a ‘good front’ that business is a ‘bust.’ that it's an ‘uplifting’ .trade;: ‘is there anything new in brassieres this season?’ Oh, they go on and on and on , ..”

Give Him Those Old Leers

AND ALL the while, he reports, they are givInk him the old leers and the Jabs in the ribs and the uproarious chuckles, Now Newman can take a joke as well as the next man, he says, but he'll be doggoned if he can see anything funny in brassieres. Besides, he makes a good living off the things and has for 20 years. 3 “As for those leers,” he explains, “it's dll busfness. Honest, we can be in a room full of half-
