In the sailing vessels of a hundre
years ago midshipmen were often
called "reefers," be*amee they had to
attend it' the mast .tops derint' the
operation of taking in reefs on
In Cold weather this duty would pre-
vent the midshipmen from wearing
the long top-coat of an officer which
leads into The Gist of the. wor .1 "reef-
er", a close-fitting, irYsally double-
breasted jacket of Wert cloth.
Because midshipmen were next in
line to the lowest commissioned of-
ficer it was considered by them be-
neath their dignty to wear P. sailor's
peajacket. So, vanity being then ex-
actly what it is today, midshipmen
took to wearing a special close-fitting,
heavy woollen cloth when doing reef,
ing, This was first Anown as a "reef-
ing jacket," but; because it was worn
by a "reefer", that be;:ame the com-
mon term for the coat t.€ sinthav cut
eventually worn by rion-aeagoers..The
peajacket of the ordinary seaman, ni-
eidentally, gets its name not from the
garden pea, but from the Dutch %void
for "woollen," "pit"

"To upset the apple cart" is to ruin
one's most carefully !aid plans. The.
Romans had a similar saying, whith
translated, read "I am undone. I have
upset: my cart." Experts are of the
opinion that the expressi in came into
being in England centuries ago as the
result of a schoolboy's inept trans-
lation of the Roman line. ie Plautus 8
play "Epidicus," In translating he
probably made the cart an apple cart
in a moment of waggisa humor,
This rendition of an age-old expres-
sion became popelar on bath sides of
the Atlantic at about the same time.
It was first recorded in Britain in
1796 by Francis Grose in the second
edition of his "Classical Dictionary of
the Vulgar Tongue." And it was used
about the same year in New Hamp-
shire by the political each let, Thomas
G. Fessenden, in an attack en

Felt, being simple in structure, is
probably the oldest fabric used by
man, and antedates spinning and
weaving. THE GIST OF IT reveals
that it was already known when
Homer wrote his poems, Its invention
is generally ascribed to the ancient
shepherds of Asia although there are
several popular stories as to how this
or that king, saint or monk accident-
ally discovered felt by o.oserving that
wool in his sandals or shoes became
matted by moisture and the pressure
of foot. St. Clement, whose feast day
is November 23, is generally consider-
ed the patron saint of hatters and
feltmakers because of an apocryphal
story attribtuing the invention of felt.
to hini. Prosecuted by the Romans,
Clement, who was to become the
fourth pope of Rome, fled for his
life. His feet became blistered and
sore on the jounrey and he lined the
soles of his shoes with wool to ease
the pain. At the end of the jorney he
found that the wool had been trans-
formed into felt by the heat, moisture
and movements of his feet, However
felt had been known and used long
before St. Clement lived.
Today, felt consists Jf wool, hair,
fur or other fibrous materials matted
together without spinning or weaving.
Different fibers are moistened, heat-
ed, roiled, pressed, glued or stretched
to make this material. The result is
put to many uses, the most highly
finished types being use. in hats.
Shakespeare had something to say
about felt, as he did about most
everything we know. "In King Lear"
he had made the king say: "It were
a delicate stratagem to shoe a troop
of horse with felt."
And that's THE GIST OF IT for
this time!
SPECKLED TROUT
AND ITS CONSERVATION
The farm boy with his cane pole
and worms, the city sportsman with
his expensive fly rod and his many
different trout flies each supposedly
an exact imitation of the Insects of
the stream, are living witnesses to
the fact that the speckled trout is one
of the most popular of our game fish-
es.
Streams suitable to the speckled
trout are rapidly vanishing before
the inroads of man, consequently con-
servation of this beautiful fish is
becoming a concern amongst inereas-
ing thousands of our citizens. Before

the game, but about a man who made
football history. You may be .surprip-
ed to learn this man's first introduc-
tion to the world of sports came
through boxing.
My story goes back to the early
1900's . . , to a small town spread
in the heart of the mid-west prairies,
On a great summer evening a box-
ing match is to be staged in an im-
provised ring on the outskirts of the
village. A sturdy professional fighter
named Frankie Brown is scheduled
to meet the tow-headed youngster who
is the pride of the town's boxing fans,
The fighters climb into the ring,
which is nothing but a square strip of
canvas with ropes strung between
the four Iron posts at the corners.
Across the 'ring, the sturdy profess-
ional fighter grins broadly at the
tow-headed lad, who smiles shyly in
return.
After the fight starts, the faces of
the fighters are grim and sev.. The
tow-head is lean and rangy . „ and
the delighted spectators cheer iris fast

But that's only part of the story
Of the two boxers. , their meeting
in the ring that ended in a draw .
and the strange post-mortem. they
held in the lunchroom.
What became of Frankle Brown...
the professional boxer who gave up
the ring to go to school? Who tried
to persuade Ike Eisenhower to em-
bark on a fistic career and instead
found himself talked into giving up
the ring? Well, he never lost his love
for Sports. He took the tow-head's
advice and went on to school and to
greater fame than he could ever have
gained In the prize-ring. For you
see, the name Frankie Brown was
only his ring name . and the world
knows him better by his real name ..

BIRTHS
brought the evening to a close, footwork, They break into hoarse
shouts as he dances back from
Frankie Brown's stinging loft jabs
and rolls his body under the :lower- •
ful punches. But Frankie Brown is a
skillful master of the ring too, After ,
pounding a series of sledge hammer
blows into the tow-head's body, he
suddenly shifts the attack to the
head, Delivering punch after punch
with rapid fire speed and tremen-
dous power. At every moment, he
seems to he hammering away In a
vulnerable spot. It's a close,
clean, hard fight. . . . two natural
born fighters pitted against one an-
other . . . each with fine attack
. . . each with sufficient defensive
ability to prevent the other from
winning too many points. There is.
only one possible outcome for the
bout. . . and even the yelling onlook-
ers agree when it is declared a draw.
After the match, the tow-head
starts for home, but he's gone only
a few steps, when Frankie BroWn
catches up with him and says; "Say,
you threw too many punches tonight,
but you've got a smart left. . . you
pack a wallop. . .You think on your
feet, You'd go places in the prize
ring!" A little shyly the tow-headed
thanked him and suggested stopping
at a nearby lunch room.
- As they eat, Frankie Brown talks
on and on in glowing terms of his
great ring career the tow-head can
have for the taking, His companion
listens in silence, munching on a
sandwich , . .and then replies. ."It's
no good tryin' to talk me in to coin'
into the prize ring, Frankie. Maybe
I will some day, but not now. You see,
I'm goin' to school and get an educa-
tion. Maybe I'll find something 1
like better 'n boxing. Ever think
there might be something YOU'D like
better?" Frankie Brown shakes his
head . . something better than cox-
ing! Not for him! But the tow-head
persists. . "Look I like boxing.
I like it as well as you do! But the
ring life of even a champ is short,
and after it's over, a man ought to be
prepared to do something else, So wity
don't you do like me... go to school?
Till nearly midnight, the two de-
bated the question . . and at last
they leave the lunchroom, Frankie
Brown shakes the tow-head's hand
and says . . "I don't know how, cr
why you've convinced me. . but I
guess you've really got something ®I
there! goin' to school like you. i=
