TWO TUB ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1920. Comment-and Discomment 60 far, Alliance haa been spared a visitation or the overall crate. All ver the east, and even In the heart f the tony college centers, this Idio tic movement Is spreading, and In ' the end, probably, we shall have to endure reading columns of Junk About the society leaders going In for the new fad. In the end, It will have 00 more effect than the far-famed Woman' Army of Nebraska, which Otarted out to bring down prices by Calking them to exhaustion. You haven't noticed any great reduction, Jure your It all depends upon where you live as to whether a fad will Interest you. F'rlnstance, It would cause no parti cular excitement If some Eskimo gen ius should ufge that all Eskimos wear fur hats. They all wear fur tuts most of the time an) way, anr' our memory of one statement in Dr. Frederick Cook's favorite book (he wrote it) Is that they aleep in them. But If some Eskimo should tart a move to wear silk pajamas and green fedoras, he'd have the floor. Probably, after he'd raved on for half an hour they'd chop a hole in the Ice and let him through gently. Eskimos take the easier way out, Overalls are no stranger to Alli ance. About three-fourths of the City's population have worn them a times or are wearing them. And while they are a comfortable gar ment In some respects, and valuable mm a protector to clothes, they do no constitute a proper garb for thlr Climate. That Is, unaided. Six or even suits of overalls might serve tc keep out the snow, but a striped blanket or a craiy quilt would be needed In addition. There's no par ticular economy In this, considering the present price of blankets. individual who haa compassion for the laboring man. This reporter tells us, In effect, that he'd feel guilty if he ever took overalls off the back of a single man who needed them. That's our motto. When prices on ordinary clothes go so high that we can't afford them, we'll apply for transportation to the , Fiji Islands, where an ordinary shirt tall furnishes a suitable garment for year-round wear. There's plenty of roam In the tropics, so we're told,' and all ' the work required to secure food is occa sionally to pluck the fruit from a banana vine, milk a coconut (note to op that word Is spelled correctly, so beware) or slice up and toast a breadfruit.

All the men folks have or Canlsed clubs, and they are pledged id wear overalls until the price or clothing comes down. The movement fa spreading west as fast as thr Apring comes, and along about ' the middle of the summer it may hit Al liance. We hope not. We have t pair of overalls that we occasionally don on press days when we play w . the makeup 6r the Ink can, and wr' hate to appear In church In these.

Even the American Legion Is In the movement True,' only one post to date has reported taking any de finite action, but think what all of them acting together might do If they made up their minds. Here's the comment of the Legion Weekly on the affair i -)---- " "The Joke about the man who re taliated last November in order to be are of a winter overcoat was no Joke At all. Prohibition may be funny, hat profiteering Isn't, despite our courageous attempts to smile them both away. A man can get along without liquor, but not without pants. In school they used to tell us that trousers was the right word, an that pants was Inelegant, but to be without pants Is a whole lot incle ganter. And so, conventions boiug what they are and town by-law being what they are, we Just kt-ep on wearing pants. VAT- ' "' "And paying for them ay, there's the rub. Not without an occasional protest, but the clothing store is used to that probably allows a bit extra or It on the bill. Rarely does any one make a practical protest, ho: ver a kick with shoes on. "But such kicks have been made. There is, for example the Legion Post In Allxona which has voted its members back Into O. D. until the high price wave passes or the old un iform wears out. It takes courage to start a boycott like that, but It takes Ingenuity to combat It. Here's hoping Arixona shows the way to cheaper spring suits." We hope Alliance doesn't take this Bp until warmer weather sets in. The only navy clothes we have left Is one suit of dress blues, and we're not acclimated to the low neck style Ltila wluter, .
