Roy Hargrave, the scientist, has discovered a process by which the leaves of trees may be transformed into women's clothing. He says he will run the cost of high living down by clothing his wife, the former Allena Barrett in the same. Roy Smith and Warner Harper are co-editors of Printer's Ink. Louis Kersey, nicknamed the Cub , is now known as the Tobacco Volstead , because he tried to make smoking illegal. Gordon M. Martin, Ken Mooney, and Vincent Ondrunshek, the unbeat- able trio of lawyers, are engaged at present in trying to assuage the hurt feelings of Howard Reed.
