Mr. Churchill Sets New Fashion
Mr. Churchill has set. a new fashion among nv'mbers of Parliament, in Britain. He has a small button sewn on the right shoulder of his jacket. This curious habit has a simple explanation. When the Prime Minister is on his tours about the country he likes to keep both hands free. One is to manipulate his cigar, the other to gesticulate with his walking stick. The button serves to hold his gas mask carrier strip in position while he is doing so.
