Electric Kitchen on Wheels Quips & Quotes By PHIL MeN'OTE Surely nothing in the astonishing scheme of life can have nonplused nature so much as the fact that none of the females of any of the species she created really cared very much for the male, as such. One can lead in great sorrow and length in the sixth volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica of the courtship of animals, of the great lengths males must go to arouse the interest of a lady. Nature supposed ly equipped man with numerous gadg ets to attract a mate with, only to result in making her nervous and frustrated. It is further confusing to see to day's publicity men attempting to turn back the age old custom and law. There was a time when queens were limited to bee hives and castles. Not so. however, today, If every what-cha-nia-doodle doesn't have a queen they are at once second class. Have the perverted balance of the publicity people tricked us into be lieving the male is no longer in pos session of any glory ? It is no news of comfort to see the bare legs of the delicate sex on every can of tomatoes, and at the head of every festival. Now neither me old scotch father or his son ever .had any great objection to a pretty ankle. 'Tis not such a thing at all. Just a bit of wonderment as to why the near bare female must be super-imposed on objects before they attract atten- tion. More difficult to understand is the view point of the advertiser. When 71% of all shoppers are women the ^attraction motivation” seems a little weak. Inasmuch as the preceding statistics seem to prove something; why not a few more pictures and campaigns with the illustrous male in something daring like a loin cloth? A view that would show the hair on his chest or the lovely shape of his legs The need for the male comeback seems imminent. «XXX XJCXlX.XtX.X.« X X X X H X'«>.Xi»:XÜOCX!« Il® )’i Friday, July 7 ROOTED IN IGNORANCE, VIOLATED IN SECRECY!
