THE SOM BRERO
Famed Hat Now Seldom Worn by Up
per Class Mexicans.

The famed Mexican sombrerO Is now
/ seldom worn by McxiCanS of the upper
class when riding, driving or hunting.
says the Mexican Herald. Not so many
years ago even here at the capital men
| of position were occasionally seen
| wearing the sombrcro, most suitable
hat under q tropical sun such as we all
| feel ut midday.
Pity that the sombrcro should have
given place to the black derby or
| bowler, hat thnt should be cata-
loGucd among hats that arc not hats in
true sense. Just a. Charles Lamb made
up q list Of books that arc not books.
Ncr is the nlrro~- brimmcd modern
straw hat sufficient shade for the eyes
in this land OF Elaring sunshine.
The Panama hat, real OF imitation.
now in high favor among the younger
men, is almost ideal as protection to
head and eyes. 1t is light, almost
universally becoming and growing ever
more popular.
The Panama has come to stay. unless
fashion. 50 potent nowadays, cxilcs it.
Yet is would be absurd for dcnizens Of
the tropics to give up the best of hats
for any caprice of Dame Fashion.
OF late years the wearing of straw
hats in winter here has been frowned
upon by the gilded youth who give the
law of style to the young men of the
middle class. Yet there is hardly a
day in the year when. under the sun Of
Mexico. a stray hat is not suitable.
Some very sensible young Britons wear
straw hats the year through, realizing
that they are dwellers in the tropics.

Officers
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE army can
teen association has just been formed in
New York for the purpose of working for
the re-establishment of the canteen at
army posts.
The association will be incorporated and
will use its efforts to induce congress to
repeal the law forbidding the sale of beer
and light wines at army posts.
Henry P. Fry, a lawyer and leading
spirit in the new association, has this to
say about 1t:
1.-THE abolition of the canteen is con-
ceded by military men of long expert
ence to have been one of the most un-
wise movements ever put in by con-
gress. 1t is responsible in large meas
ure for the present depleted condition OF
the ranks today. This is the opinion of
Gen j. Franklin Bell, chief of staff of
the army; Gen. George B. Loud of New
York president of the Third Massa-
chusetts Cavalry association, and Secre-
tary Taft, and is embodied in all the re-
ports of the commanding generals OF the
various departments of the United States
army These include Gen. Greedy, COM
manding the department. of Columbia;
Gen. Grant, Gen. Frederick Funston and
the Judge advocates of the army.
practical students Of military life say
without a dissenting voice that the res
toration of the canteen is actually nec-
essary to minimize desertion and encour-
age enlistment"

PRESCOTT, Arlz., Dec. lin record
time Charles NJ. Binford, a self-coniessed
embezzler, who for the past few weeks
has blocked all efforts of relatives and
friends to effect a settlement of the
charges against him, was this morning
