Eat Less — Drink Less Currently, across the nation, a drive to cut prices and al- le%iate Europe's macabre food situation is underway, spurred by the President's message, and lashed on by the country's newspapers. Notre Dame men can take part in this "eat less" program. By cutting down on cafeteria sweets and extras students will automatically bridle the sprinting steed of rising prices. By eating less, by whittling down on those gobs of pudding and chunks of pie, and passing up those mounds of ice cream, the price of which just jumped fifty cents a gallon last week, the student will find himself feeling better too. A lean diet is the best conditioner, as witness the ball player's fare. And a heavj' diet only leads to waist-line suet and hypertension. But if eating less can turn the trick, might also drink­ ing less? The amount of inferior beer and highball liquor washed down gullets in local bars could probably irrigate Death Valley. Torrential drinking only results in pulsing heads, pasty mouths, and people being late for church on Sunday morning. Those are the physical consequences. Add "drink less" to "eat less" and you have a double- barrelled weapon that promises lower prices, healthier bodies, and more food, especially grain, to Europe.

Slowly but surely the changes canie^ By 1915 the frills were mostly gone, but skirts were still long and women were still agitating for their new freedom. Then came the first World War. Prac­ ticality was the order of the day; the necessity to save material was para­ mount. So women's skirts got shorter and skimpier, even sleeves began to be shortened, and occasionally a lady could go to a beach attired in something less than a rug.

All this time men's clothes were chang­ ing more slowly. There was nothing dras­ tic; clothes merely became simpler and jauntier. The evolution was far from being a revolution. After the first war, women were armed with a new, weapon—the vote. Prohibi­ tion, the buzzard that came to pick the bones left by the wartime conditions, had settled down on America's roof, pok­ ing its hungry head into everybody's bu^^ iness.

Her hat resembled an overturned saucepan; her waist was shapeless; in short, she looked like a department store dummy attired in a gunny sack. In the early part of the twenties, her skirts were long and tight; a woman could not possibly walk. She perforce slinked. But as the decade waxed, skirts went up until every pulpit in the country was thumped with denun­ ciation of the new fashions. There was some justification for this; morality and modesty seemed to be going by the board, VThe American wk'omac n of 1928, to put it ^'fi-ankly, was prerettyt close to being a na­ tional eyesore.

Crash — Down They Come

Then came an ill wind that blew good in the world of fashion. 1929: The Crash. The nation sobered up. Skirts ceased their upward trend; the women began to dress more like himian beings. Skirts at first went down too far, bringing back the hobbling; then they went up again and stayed a little below the knee until NEW LOOK IN AN OLD ERA the second World War.
