HATLESS GIRL
Origin Of the Latest Fad
BY ANITA MOORE.

We have the poster girl, and the kodak
girl, and the sweater girl, and the tennis
girl, and the golf girl, and the dainty
fluffy girl, and the tailor-made girl and
girls and girls. but the latest and most
charming OF all the girls is the hatless
girl.
You have seen her and admired her,
for she has taken st. Louis by storm.
She fits about over the worlds fair
grounds, and even through the down
town districts with the happy abandon
of butterfly with never thought about
her wind-blown tresses or whether her
hat is just at the proper angle.
Darkroom foreheads, sun-kissed
cheeks, freckled noses, sunburnt hair,
tanned arms and hands are the rage in
St. Louis just now, and the harless girls
are the rule. A fascinating creature is
the hatless girl. She is not at all man
nish in her mannerisms, but she is delight
fully refreshing. Her eyes are bright,
her lips are red and are always parted in
a smile, showing row of pearl white
teeth. The wind has habit of caress'
ing her hair and blowing little tendril-
like eurls across her face, making her a
most bewitching young woman. There
is an air of natural freedom about the
hatless girl that ischarming. One looks
upon her as wholesome minded, healthy
and happy being.
The hatless girl is usually clad in
a white linen, or white duck shirt
waist suit, the sleeves of which are rolled
ND above the elbow and open at the neck.
Sometimes she carries an umbrella, and
some few carry their hats'in their hands,
but they are the timid ones just entering
the ranks of the hatless brigade The
perfect hatless girl scorns the thought of
carving hat, and some of them do not
even deign to include hat in their sum-
mer wardrobe.
This hatless girl rage is good sign
a sign that girls are emancipating them
selves from the rule of the dermatologists
and the dictations of the skin beauty
doctors and the Sunday-paper advice
about camel's hair brushes and face and
hair bleaches.
They are giving nature chance to
demonstrate the fact that she knows
more in a month about making good
and healthy compilations than all the ex'
perts on earth know in ten years.
There is much speculation abroad as
to the origin or the inception of the hat
less girl whence comes she!" they are
saving. One man said to me that she
was a product OF the automobile craze;
that all automobile girls go bareheaded.
Possibly this is true, but how about the
girls who have no automobiles and no
young men who have automobiles yet
who go hatless!.
Another man said it was evolution;
that the savage and other races at the

A BALLOON FARM.
t'ro be ccntinued.)

A Unique Business Carried on In
WesterR New York.
There is at present general interest
in airships, for which the late expert
ments of Santos Dumont are largely
responsible, and in view of this many
will read with more than ordinary In
terest the clever description of the
great balloon farm Of Carl E. Myers,
written by Chauncey McGovern for
Pearson's. "You would be inclined to
think you were dreaming" says Mr..
McGovern, were you to walk through
the farm of Carl Il. Myers, nine miles
from the city of Utica, State of New
York. Here can be seen, on constant
view, in summer time, large variety
of aerial craft--airShips that actually
fly, just as they do in the story books,
doing strange things that you had sup
posed could never happen in reality.
Besides the array of new kinds of
air craft, 1t is fact little known that
every American-made hydrogen balloon
In use In the United States-whether
by the government or by private indi-
viduals--is a product of this one farm.
"Most striking among the things to
be seen at the balloon farm is a flying
machine that really flies, not merely a
working model of an airship that
flies a few feet along track on the
ground, but a fully completed flying
machine that scars into the actual
skies as high as any bird-a machine
that ascends, that turns and dives as
readily as an eagle does.
MANY other curious aerial vessels
have been turned out from the Myers
balloon farm, and some greater won.
ders are in course of construction. 1t
is not only his own inventions that Mr..
Myers constructs on his balloon farm.
He makes all sorts of aerial eontrlv.
ances--scientifc kites, freak balloons,
air vessels-for other inventors.
''The greatest number of the balloon
farm products, however, are big by.

ROB EXPRESS CAR.
Unseen Thieves Escape From Train
With Treasure Box.

San Francisco, Jan. 23.--While the
Southern Pacific company's Sunset
Limited train was climbing the rough
mountains between San Lais 0bispo
and San Ardo last Dight weIls-Fargo
x Co.'s treasure box was mysteriously
stolen out Of the express car by some
Unknown person or persons.
Timothy Sullivan, the messenger.
was in another car and when he re-.
turned, he found the side door Of the
express car open and the safe missing.
The robber or robbers gained entrance
to the car through the end door, the
lock Of which had been forced.
Sullivan at once n6atif1.s1 Airs. sl...e..
officials OF the robbery and search f0I
the missing safe resulted in finding II
near tunnel No. 2. 1t had been broken
into and its contents had been taken
with the exception Of a valuable dia-
mond, some checks and other valuable
papers.
The amount of the treasure that was
being carried in the safe has not been
determined. The express officials ex-
press that it was only few hundred
dollars, but that there were some val
liable papers. Estimates from the
scene Of the robbery place the amount
as high as $50, 900, but it is thought
this amount is greatly exaggerated
one.
The express car carried two safes,
one through safe, which is locked at
New Orleans and the other local safe.
It was the local one that was taken.
One man is under arrest at San Luis
0bispo on suspicion Of being one OF the
robbers, but the evidence against him is
only circumstantial.
The slow progress of the train would
have permitted the robbers entering
the express car, throwing out the safe
and jumping out after it without
danger.

AMERICAS ROLE IMPORTANT.
France Regards New Trade Treaty al
Encouraging to Japan.

Paris. Jan. 2S.-The Temps this
evening publishes a leading article on
the increasing Importance of the role
OF the United States in the Japanese
Russian situation. 1t reflects the grow
ing French Sentiment, which TO some
extent is shared in governmental quar-
terrs, and says:
"It cannot be disguised that the ap-
pearance of the United States upon the
scene is calculated to encourage Ja-
PAN"
Continuing, the Temps reviews the
early friendship between Russia and
the United States and the alleged re-
cent gradual estrangement, which is at
tributed to the ratification of the COM
mercial treaty between China and the
United States, and declares this may
be, according to the view taken at
Washington and at St. Petersburg,
either the final point OF departure or
the happy conclusion of misunder-
standings" The paper adds:
sit depends much upon the wisdom
and pacific spirit of President Roose-
velt in exerting upon the crisis his in
fiuence at Toxic, as it is hoped Great
Britain has done already, and, as it is
believed, France is not neglecting to do
at st. Petersburg"

Reuben Cuiwick occupied the first floor
of Hope Lodge, and the gentleman who
rented Hope Lodge and to whom Reuben
| paid the modest sum of three shillings
and sixpence weekly, had not hidden his
| hight under a bushel, and had extinguish-
| ed Reuben's claim TO locality by extern
sive advertising over his house front.
The name of Jennings" in large white
white capitals on a crimson ground was
the sky line of the edifice. and another
board, with Jennings" of somewhat
more moderate proportions, had been
| fastened between the windows of the first
and second floors, while Jennings, Pyro-
technlc Artist" In blue and yellow, by
way of variety of coloring, was inscribed
over dingy shop front, On the door
also had been painted Jennings, Fire
work Maker to the Court" and over the
door was plaster coat-of-arms, signiii-
cant Of the royal patronage which the
family legend asserted had been once
vouchsafed to an extinct Jennings who
had been blown TO atoms one Guy

Mr. Jennings was always waiting for
November, although he drove little bust

Reuben Culwick's return to London, he
was standing at his door, after his gen
eral rule. But on that particular even

| wick, who had said that he should be
back that evening. Suddenly John Jen-
nings was Joined in his watch by wom-
! an as thin as he was, and as pale She
put her hands suddenly, and possibly
heavily, on his shoulder, for Mr.. Jen-
nings WINGED and doubled up under the
pressure.
II wish you wouldn't, Lucy" Mr.. Jen-
nings said, remonstratively.
"Wish would not what, Johnp asked
the newcomer on the scene.
"Take person Off his guard like that,
and scare him."
"Have you grown more nervous crea-
ture still, watching for what will never
come againT said the woman, with a
strange asperity Of tone.
"What will never come again ?" repeat
ed her brother, In dismay. do you mean
that Mr.. Culwick will not come back,
then? Bless my soul, how long have you
been thinking of thatY said Mr. Jen-
nings; "you didn't say so before--you
hadn't such thought an hour ago. What
makes you get so foolish an Idea into your
head now?"
He laughed In an odd, hysterical fash.
ion, like woman, as his greater interest
took him out of his languid position and
set him upright, staring at his sister.
"Well, I've been thinking 1t over
what he Is, and what we are-and I'm
sure that he will be glad to be rid of us
altogether, He has only stopped here cut
OF compliment all this while; but you
can't see that so well as can," she
added, fretfully.
II haven't tried to see 1t. I'll trust to

Russia Expresses Determination to stay
In nanchurIa.


London, Jan. ga statement is
published in Lendon this morning
with an air of authority to the effect
that the question of neutral zone has
disappeared from the Russo Japanese
negotiations. Although 1t is impossi-
BILE to confirm this statement it agrees
with other inspired statements that
Russia has acquiesced to Japan's views
regarding the integrity of Corea, and
the only trouble now remaining relates
to Manchuria.
With referance to the ordinances
adopted by the Japanese privy council
at the meeting of January 20 this state
ment explains that Russian men of war
have had free access all along, even to
the Japanese ports of Nagasaki and
Hakodat, for coaling and other pur-
poses. Japan, therefore, has taken
precautionary measures looking to the
possible necessity of putting stop to
such visits.
1t is said that Japan's domestic loans
will amount to $4,000, 600, and that
her ordinary disbursements already
amount to SIS 200. 900.

Pnate OF Aluminium.
Chicago. Jan. 25.-Joseph L. Fer
rell. of Philadelphia, threw handfulIs
of excelsior on hot gas fire in the
rooms of the Western Society of Engi-
neers last night in demonstrating 4
theory. 1t smoked, but did not blaze.
Mr.. Ferrell, who is a chemist, had
been asked to address the engineers on
the subject of fireproofng wood and
combustible fabrics. He told them it
could be done cheaply, and then he
made the practical demonstration des-
cribed. Sulphate Of aluminium is the
composition Mr.. Ferrell had used to
fireproof the wood and cotton. His
plan is to saturate the material under
pressure.
From commercial viewpoint Mr.
Ferrell said there was nothing in the
way of making any theater safe from
spreading flames. While sulphate Of
amonia, which has been used, is ex-
pensive, sulphate of aluminium is
cheap, costing 70 cents a hundred
weight, and the expense OF using it is
comparatively small.
