Ended in Misery Greenwoods eventual success in ending his misery is said to have stemmed from a frosty day in Dewas cember 1873, when the trying out his new double runners on the frozen pond near his family farm. A biting wind started nipping at his tender lobes and, within minutes, his ears had turned pale white, then vivid red and finally a deep blue. Undaunted, he left his house the next day, convinced he had found the solution: A heavy wool scarf tied around his head. But, alas, his ears were allergic to wool. His next brainstorm was fur. He shaped a length of hay wire into two loops, had his grandmother sew pieces of fur onto them and took his invention out for a test run. Greenwoods Champion Ear Protectors were bom. Greenwood was awarded a patent in March 1877, at the age of 19. For some people, wearing earmuffs is just about as embarrassing as Greenwoods tender ears were for him. .'V, r' dy Day Aft. i ONE DAY SALE, SATURDAY ONLY OFF 25 PANTCOAT IN EVERY WOMEN'S SIZES.

Donald E. Jennings, a Philadelphia clinical psychologist, was asked about the connection. Some people do believe that myth, but Im not familiar with any literature that addresses the issue of headware vs. personality characteristics, and Ive never had any persona experiences where I found that to be true. I would say that a man who wears earmuffs simply wants to keep his ears from getting cold in the practical sense. Wearers Secure But wouldnt a man who wears earmuffs be considered even a bit insecure? Absolutely not, Jennings said The guys who were wearing earmuffs when they went out of style were probably more secure than most of us because they obviously were not bothered by what others might say about them. Jennings recalled that his mother made him wear earmuffs to school when he was 8, but his classmates gave him a merciless ribbing about them. After that, Jennings said, he would stash the earmuffs in his pocket as soon as he left home. n And now, some more facts about the earmuff : Earmuffs became the rage after Greenwood patented his Champion Ear Protectors in 1877, selling them in the millions many to the federal govern- - mCTIGN SPORTSWEAR g?ARDNEY Lamb Suede Shearling Coat Fashioned in America and styled for your complete comfort in the coldest temperatures.

After the broadcast, we received a pile of letters from people from all over the country asking where they Lawrence S. could get earmuffs, Lawrence, a grandson of Sully Greenwood, said in a telephone interview from his Farmington home. We even got letters from Florida." Earmuffs apparently are still a big seasonal seller. Executives of Jack J. Seifter & Sons and Star Accessories of New Y'rk each reported sales of about 120,000 pairs of earmuffs last year- - ment for use by soldiers in World War I. Thev faded in the 1920s, but made a comeback in the 1930s (400,000 pairs were shipped out of Greenwoods factory in 1936) and remained popular for a time afterward. The factory closed down a few years after Greenwoods death in 1937 at the age of 78.
