» = 3 . Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovéla ~~ THERE'S a heap of work that can be done to improve men's clothes, and a B.V.D. wearer doesn’t think underwear is the place to start. = A movement is on to restyle my underwear habits and preferences. This week they're using x = the word foundation in quotes. Next week who knows, the quotes may be gone and so will “the word un-_ derwear, For example, this week we have “Well groomed: men, like architec turally sound buildings, have to have “a sound foundation for good looks.” I can hear the stick beating around the bushes. The B.V.Ds crawl when its argued that “the finest worsted fabric, and the most painstaking tailoring will not give the man who wears the suit that peat-as-a-pin, {rim-as-a-whistle, welldressed look unless the whole ensemble fits like paper on the wall." Heaven forbid.

"FOUNDATION"—Underwear companies with an eye to contour garments are cautioned by "Mr. B. V. D. Inside" to tackle more important prob. lems.

: ¢ & & GARMENTS (underwear) are to be contour molded to fit the male figure. It is frankly admitted that women have had a hand in the coming change in foundation garments for men. Women can just keep their hands off B.V.D.s. I've seen some of the new stuff and it's enough to make you ask the salesman if you're in the wrong department. They try to sell you

NEW YORK, Apr. 4—In this crazy Diet Age, I've found a machine with which you can reduce by exercising—without ever getting up in the morning. “Exercise without effort.” What could be more attractive? Diets are all right . , . but you get hungry. 80 I couldn't wait to try the “Relaxacizor,” which iz used by the slim-hipped Copacabana chorus girls. Beautiful Pat Hardy came along-a-my-house to show me how. x “You can sit up and read, or li€ down and relax, and the machine exercises you in the right places,” said Pat, one of the cutest brunets this side of my Beautiful Wife, . “Where do YOU use it?” I asked Pat who seems figure-perfect. ; “On my seat. That's where most Copacabana girls need it.” “Call it your ‘hips’ if you don't like to say ‘seat,’ ”” primly spoke up Louise Simonet, a ‘“contour consultant,” the machine’s head explainer. “It’s in your hip area.” “Well, are you ready?” Pat asked Uncle Oil. "You use it first,” I replied bashfully.. Pat was in shorts, They strapped four elec-trically-connected pads on Pat, two on her knees, two on her... er... hip area. 5 Then they tyrned Pat on. She began to shake. Her knees shot up and down as though from some hidden power. She sat there reading. “It has a pleasant tingle,” Pat said. “Like those machines at Coney Island.” > So NOW I WAS READY to try it on one of my many chins. “This Indian halo goes on you first’ Miss Simonet said. She strapped some harness on my head. “I never thought I'd cover my own execution,” I trembled. One pad on my chin, one on my cheek. My mouth began opening and closing like an auctioneer’s. I tried not to wink , . . not to open my mouth. But the current was stronger. I winked, I opened my mouth, I winked, I shut my mouth. ‘...1 was a mechanical man, A fellow named” Willam Browner of San Francisco invented this thing, and I reckon it's

NEW YORK, Apr. 4—The transparency of the entire deal that cited one of ‘our barefoot boys as head white wing of the government corruption cleanup now: becorhes apparent, even though it seemed all too incredible when it started. We had a lot of stealing going on in the government, especially in the tax-enforcement end, with heavily embarrassing public attention. Our now-re-tiring chieftain came boiling up from Key West to put things right. What he wanted was a Hercules to sweep the Stables, or so he said. . They made a pass at big Tom Murphy, a tough and honest Irishman, who tentatively accepted. Then Big Tom spied " some of the mice in the breadbox and said nogirree, Bob, not for Missus Murphy's boy. That shotlld have told you that the intent to wash down the Justice Department was a pure piece of lip service, shaped merely to douse the fires of spreading scandal. If Judge - Murphy didn't want to hantle it, something had to be

Mr. Truman was going to can him one day; the next he was back y smelled, some. i ayor - had the appointment of Mr. Newbold "Morris, Republican, as head housecleaner for a Democratic scandal. That had to smell some, too, because no expedient political gang is actually going to grant full powers of delousing to a member of the opposition in an election year. I thought Newbold was a sucker to take the .job. ved that, too. TE ie Morris it has been said that he was porn with a silver foot in his mouth. This was exemplified in the heavy attacks on him as portion of that reeking deal with the oil tankers, for which Newbold's law firm drew up some papers for a fee, Now it was Newbold under attack. They had him sweating on the stand, and all the time he had come there to sweat the attackers. % THIS FIGURED, too, in .the Democratic scheme to get off the thievery hook by muddying .up the investigator. Newbold said he was going to issue a flock of questionnaires demanding incomes and income sources from everybody in the Justice Department and they would answer up like little gentlemen or else Newbold was going to come home. Well, Newbold screamed in anguished innocence, and his inquisitors heaped more fuel on the flame of his indignation, and finally they let him stand down. He served his papers. Then Atty. Gen. McGrath refused to answer about his money and its sources, and thoge of his

I can laugh now. More than anything else the human animal seeks comfort, Probably the most sensible garment devised for man is the coverall. We have our moments of genius. * ¢ »

What you have for a conclusion is so simple, so unprettily succinct. Mr, Truman and Co. never really wanted an honest investigation of looting the national pantry. All they wanted was to make a few righteous noises, trap a willing sucker as fall guy in the investigative end, and then let the whole smelly mess subside under the rubble of time and confusion. It would appear that it will come to rest under that seif-same rubble. Come, come, Newhold, and let us find you a few fresh windmills to tilt at. When you tangled with that mob you were playing with the old pros, and you are not yet ready for that fast company. Takes seasoning, bud.

Dishing the Dirt By Marguerite'Smith

Q~When we moved into our present North Side home last year we found a strip of ground on the north side of the house was planted with barberry bushes and abundant lilies of the valley. We'd like very much to change this—that is, leave the flowers but remove the bushes and replace with something more satisfying to the eye. Mrs. H. L. Conner, Carrollton Ave. A-—If it’s shrubbery you want I doubt there's anything better than the improved kind of coralberry known as the Chenault. Since the birds do not take kindly to the rose colored berries

Read Marguerite Smith's Garden Column in The Sunday Times:

this shrub produces, they're pretty-all winter, If you want hardy plants, there's the August’ or plantain .leaved ‘lily (it's also known as funkia or hosta). It makes an attractive planting especlally if you alternate the big white fragrant ‘flowering sort with one of the finer-leaved varieties. Hardy begonias are another possibility. Of course. I suppose you've considered the glamorous tuberous rooted begonias.

Fifth Message

By AUSTIN PARDUE Bishop of the Diccese of Pitisbursh MOST churches of modern times — Protestant, Orthodox; Anglican and Roman Catholic ~place much emphasis on the season of Lent. The majority of hooks of worship trace their origin back to early collections of prayers called Sacramentaries. These. center around the service of the Lord's Supper and selected prayers of ancient origin ‘called collects, There are also especially designated reading for certain holy days from the Epistles and Gospels and, on rare occasions, from the Old Testament. In the early days of the church these were apparently thought out with great care so that the true significance for the particular season of the church year would get the proper emphasis. Let us look at the fundamental emphasis for

At the very outset, the season of Lent has jts tempo set by the ancient prayer which petitions: “Creates and make in us new and contrite hearts.” Hers is sounded a positive note of creative accomplishment. A man who has the privilege of gaining a new heart queathed a new life which cannot be obtained by any elixir yet discovered.

WHILE the world is mad for the secret of the rejuvenation of hody and mind, and seeks through science, medicine, glands, vacations, baths, education, beauty courses and personality books, here it is in reality and truth. Christ and His Church say that we never can become new, young, vital, supple and elastic again until we have first sought the rejuvenation of our heart, The core of Lent is expressed in the request of the Psalmist when he pleads, “Make me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” The emphasis upon religious realism. is further reinforced by

the traditional choice for the Ash Wednesday gospel from the Sermon on the Mount.

“When ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces,. that they may

appear unto men to fast, Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.”

The climax and conclusion of Lent is expressed on the greatest of feasts, Easter Day. The season concludes, as it began, on the inner emphasis, All during I.ent the opening prayer of Ash Wednesday has heen read at each service, driving home the point that the inward change of the heart was more important than anything else, * ” ” ~ ON ‘EASTER DAY we offer the following ancient prayer: “Almighty God, who

through Thine only Son, Jesus Christ, hast over come death, and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life, we humbly beseech Thee that, AS BY THY SPECIAL GRACE PREVENTING US THOU DOST PUT INTO OUR MINDS GOOD DESIRES, SO THAT BY THY CONTINUAL HELP WE MAY BRING THE SAME TO GOOD EFFECT; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end,

Amen.” The phrase: “Thy special makes

grace preventing us,” reference to the belief that the power of God has worked In advance of our actions and prepared the way by putting good thoughts into our minds as they tend to condition our hearts with good desires, which in turn tend to cause them to bring the same into objective reality o (Copyright, 1952, by Harper & Brothers) NEXT: “Do This In Re membrance af Me.”
