Men Who Ridicule Feminine
fashions Should Look At
Themselves, Pucci Says
ly ALFRED LEECH
United Press Correspondent
Chicago IP) Custom tailor
Lawrence Pucci Jr. says men
who ridicule feminine fashions
Itiould take a look at them
jfclves. The Ivy League look was bad
enough, said Pucci, president of
the Association of Custom Tail
ors and Designers of America.
But now comes the "Edward
ian look."
This consists of narrow cuff
less pants with belted backs and
narrow jackets with cuffs on the
sleeves. A fashion note pro
claims that these duds will be
worn by "style conscious men
as an assertion of their individ
uality."
Pucci Cries 'Ludicrous
"Ludicrous," said Pucci, who
makes clothes for some of
America's best dressed males
"Here we are in the dawn of
the space age, with Sputniks cir
cling the earth, and we're dig
ging back into the fashion attic
to don grouse hunting suits
"Clothes like these should be
worn against a backdrop of cas
tles and manor houses."
He conceded that Ivy League
garb might be permissible for
"boys in school," especially if
the school has ivy-covered walls
or Gothic architecture.
But a man stepping into a
turbo-jet plane or a new sports
car looks foolish in "horse and
carriage raiment," Pucci said,
Imitate Diamond Jim
"Surrounded by modernity,
we're trying to dress like Dia
mond Jimy Brady or Sherlock
Holmes," he said. "It's an idiot
ic affectation."
There is a "crying need for
original thought," in men's at
tire, Pucci said.
The ideal suit, he said, could
be worn anywhere, regardless
of season, climate or occasion.
"A businessman who starts
his day in Chicago or New York
may well finish it in San Fran
cisco, Miami, or Toronto," he
said. "So his clothing should be
that adaptable.
"He should be able to attend
the theater one night, a cocktail
party the next afternoon and a
prize fight that night, wearing
the same suit."
But before we reach this ideal
Pucci said, we may have to shed
some foibles like neckties, la
pels and shoes that lace in the
archaic manner of a Roman
sandal.

Osteopath Says Experiment
With Blind Is Successful
East Orange, N. J. (IP) An os
teopath told today of successful
experiments in which a blind
woman saw light by artificial
means.
He said the electronic process
may be developed into a sort of
seeing aid, comparable to 'elec
tronic hearing aid.
Dr. John C. Button Jr. of East
Orange, who conceived the ex
periment, said it was conducted
on Betty Corstorphine, 35, of
Newark, N. J., last October in
Los Angeles. During the experi
ment, tiny holes were drilled in
her skull and steel wires were
implanted in her brain.
Attached to the wires was a
photocell which she held in her
hand. When the light in the
darkened room was turned on
Miss Corstorphine exclaimed: "I
can see the light," Button said.
He said she could tell when
the light was turned on and
from which direction it came.
Button said the experiment
was only a beginning from which
he hopes to construct a more
finely developed device which
will be able to perceive shades
of light and patterns.
He said a team of physicians
from Rochester State Hospital in
Rochester, Minn., also took part
in the experiment. The Rochester
doctors are mapping the brain to
determine which areas are asso
ciated with particular senses,
such as sight.
It was this mapping that en
abled the experimenters to de
termine where in Miss Corstor
phine's brain the wires should be
placed, he said.
Greenville, S. C. (IP) Au
thorities are looking for a thief
they figure isn't prepared to
make a fast getaway. He stole a
wagon wheel.

Can you fine! ihe "pasmfee"
in this picture?
You buy a refrigerator only two or three times
in your lifetime.
Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without
getting so much as a look at the intricate "works"
that makes it run.
How do you dare make such an important
purchase without having an expert check it over
for you? What makes you so sure you're getting
your money's worth when you say, "I'll take
that one"?
The answer's obvious. You look for the brand
name on the refrigerator your "guarantee."
You've learned to follow this first rule of safe
and sound buying:
A good brand is your best guarantee
No matter what kind of product you want to
buy, you know a good brand won't let you down.
You know the maker stands back of it guar
antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand
you know you're right.
Read this newspaper to find out which are
the good brands (and the stores that sell them.)
The more good brands you know, the surer you
are about all your shopping.
