The owner of a retail hat store writes me to ask
how to advertise hats.
Idon't know. haven't thought much about hats.
Ten to one l should do something revolutionary;
perhaps advertise to buy the customers old hat. AS
a rule he is glad to get rid of it. Of course that would
cut the profit in two, but then the sales would multiply
by ten, or perhaps by fifty, and the store would get
talked about.
Perhaps I wouldn't do that at all. I make the
suggestion simply to let this hat dealer know that if
I owned his store l should get up and shake myself;
make some sort Of a noise; not stand around behind
the counter leaning on everything, waiting for a
customer who is six blocks away on the other side of
the street going north to change his mind, come back,
cross over, and by mere chance in his hurry notice
that l have hats in my window.
Tell a hundred thousand men who wear hats and
who buy two hundred thousand hats a year that you
have the goods; the kind they are looking for. If that
doesn't wake them up then give away a hat-band and
a necktie and a pair Of gloves; cram the hats full Of
ham sandwiches; do something. Your business is to
sell hats, not store them.
have no patience with the retail dealer who
depends on the sidewalk and the weather for his trade.
But it isn't necessary to be sensational; simply
make readable news Of your advertising. 1t is the
business of the newspapers to distribute news and
if l want a moderate priced stylish hat your adver-
Using is ten times more interesting to me than the
Associated Press dispatch that some galoot in Okla
homa or Texas hanged himself.
Good advertising is news. Print this on the
ceiling over your bed SO that you will read it first thing
every morning when you wake up. .
Keep your eye on fashion.
Fashion is today the biggest influence in the
world not necessarily the best influence; but the
biggest. We don't control fashion; fashion controls
us. 1t always comes down the pike with a whirl. When
the storm breaks haul in your advertising canvas and
stop buying. Fashion hurricanes are short-lved.

Some of the Supervisors We're of
the opinion that, police officer
should not be appointed as pound
master and called on Supervisor

could not think OF any one at the
time who would be willing to take
the position and action on the
matter was deferred. Nss@

A petition was received from a
number of residents of Keanae re-

near the sea. instead of on the high,
er attitudes. Action on the same
was deferred.
A petition was received from a
number of Kaupo residents asking
that they bespaid $153.75 for work
performed on a road at Kaupo., As
it appeared that they had done the
work without the knowledge or
consent of the road authorities the
board decided that they could not

Mr.. Haia stated that he had let
contract for the repair of q road

improved by local people at an eX-

read prohibiting the throwing or
dumping of refuse or glass, either

the violation of any'of the provi-
sions OF the ordinance. Action on
the same was deferred. until the
next meeting Of the board.
The report OF the Treasurer of
his trip to Honolulu in connection
with the. bond issue was read.
From the report it seemed that the
banks of Honolulu were not in
clined to take any of the bonds as
the money stringency has made
the interest on loans much higher
than the bonds called for. There
was a question too as to whether
the act was a legal one and until
the legal question was entirely
cleared which would have to be
settled by the Supreme Court no
one would think Of advancing any
money on the issue.
1t was estimated that theco oi
having the bonds printed'and duly
certified would be not less than
S25OO.

Co. Supt. HIGHWAY Sends
Good News to Ham
mond Teachers.

The Hammond school teachers received
the glad. assurance from Crown Point
today that all who had not already
been notified of their failure to pass
would get through with the examina-
tions successfully.
The examination required by law has
caused considerable unrest among the
school teachers in the county ever since
the announcement was made that it
would have to be taken.
When the questions were presented
at the examination at Crown Point it
was feared that half of the teachers in
the county would fail. At least that is
the idea that the teachers themselves
gave out.
However, the examination seems to
have been successfully passed by all
but two or three of the teachers and
will not have to be taken over again
on Decoration day as many feared they
would.
There will be little change in the per-
sonel of the teaching force with the ex-
ception of a few of the teachers who
are said to be contemplating entering
into a contract of another kind

WOMEN HAVE A
NARROW ESCAPE
Five Passengers in Peril of Life
When Gasolene Explodes as Colum-
bia Car, Driven at Lively Clip,
Meets With an Unusual Accident
Near Kendel's Grove.

The lives of five people, three men
and two women, were endangered last
evening when the $4,000 CoIum bia
touring car owned by A. E. LeibbOIt,
of 1910 Michigan avenue, Chicago,
caught fire near Kindei's place on
Sheffield avenue, burning the car and
exploding fifteen gallons of gnsOIene
One of the women in the party, which
was ON its way from Chicago to
Michigan City, WINS jerked out of the
car only after her dress had caught
fire.
The car was going south at a lively
clip and owing to the rough roads
through South Chicago, was very hot
The occupants of the car did not know
themselves how the fire in the car
originated unless it was through the
exhaust pipe, but without their notice
the fire had gained Roadway until the
flames began licking around the gaso-
line tank which contained fifteen gall
Ions of the fluid.
The occupants of the car. seeing that
an explosion was imminent, brought it
to standstilI and jumped out, but not
any too soon, for the skirts of one of
the women was already ablaze. All
five of them ran away from the car.
which exploded within a few moments.
It was after O'Clock and the sun
was down when the. accident occurred.
Instinctively the tourists ran as far
as they could get from the car. Sud-
denly they saw the sky loom up with
lurid light and a muffied Kissing
sound burst on the night air

as the heat of the burning machine

LUKOsKI IS RETURNED
Hammond Man Gets Back
From Kenosha to Find
Property Destroyed.

Mike Luckowski, owner of the Gibson
saloon on Forsythe avenue. returned
from Kenosha, Wis, yesterday when he
heard that his property had ben de-
stroyed in the fire which also destroyed
the two buildings belonging to w.
Wisnewskf, his neighbor.
Ludowski, in speaking to TIMES re-
porter about the fire says that he is un-
able to account for It,
1T may have been spite work. said
he. My nephew, who was running the
saloon, was doing a good business and
somebody may have been jealous of
him. 1t may have been aimed at me
since it was my property. Only last
Tuesday somebody, during the night,
threw a big stone through the plate
glass window, breaking it. My house
alone was worth $4,000. but 1T was in
sured for only $4,000. / think the fire
started in my place under the first
floor in the middle of the house. o
little frame door in the foundation was
down, showing where somebody had
crawled under the building to set the
fire."
Eight In Narrow Escape.
There were eight people in the house
at the time. who had very narrow es-
capes.
Lukowskis nephew. Vincent Macie-
jewski, who was running the saloon,
claims to have lost $500 worth of furni-
ture. The saloonkeeper and his wife
occupied only few rooms in the build

1T WAS GOOD DOPE.

There may not be very much
In 1T but when a prOphesy does
some true or within reasonable
range of the truth 1T is ex-
tremeIy gratifying. in the
Wednesday issue of THE TIMES
ON May 20, appeared line OF
dope in which il was estimated
that Hammond would win the
Lake county track and field
meet with a score of A points.
This was considered large
score by a great many Ham
mOnd dopsters but Hammond
won the meet with u total of
AL points. 1t was estimated
that Crown Point would be third
with 27 points. Instead Crown
Point wns second with IS 2-3.
Hobart was given second place
In the dope with 81 points and
owing to the work of Atwood of
Lowell, who Unexpectedly cut In
on Hobart's score, that school
got only II points
1T was thought that Lowell
would get 10 points but for the
same reasons, namely the sur
prisinG work of Atwood, the
school got IL points instead and
tied with Hobart for third place.
In the case of Gary the prOph-
esy came true to a point and In
the case of both East Chicago
and whiting, which were not
given any points they did not
get more than a point apiece.
In fact, the dope was all right
except in the case of Lowell and
Hobart and 1T was that man At
wood, who spoiled the calcuIa-
lations in this case. The figures
are interesting In showing just
how far one can go I'm estimat-
ing a result when the men and
track are known quantities.
