fail to sec him. If you ever meet him
toward you. he looms up sud-
denly as big as the latest French-make

nor, for that matter, has he changed the
style of his hat. He does not believe in
making frequent changes, and agrees
with the old adage that three changes
is worse than a funeral. so he clings to
the shiny black beaver hat he wore
years ago when he first came to Wash
ington. 1t may not be the latest thing,

can possibly he. And who ever heard of

Mr. Payne always affects tho derby
style. He says he has so much difficulty
getting this kind. because they are a bit
off stock in size, that he hasn't the pa
tience to bother further. Mr. Payne just
wears plain straw hats in the summer

from Muddy Creek and Representative
Speech breaker of Sapphire Bend. 1t
would take so much real Panama material
to build MIR. Payne a comfortable summer
hat that even with the congressional sal

says his head has not grown a bit since

said a friendly representative, tapping
him on the shoulder. why you wore that

"Oh, l haven't time to stand In that

Representatives John Sharp williams
and Ollie James both have heads Of such
size that any one might be proud of,
and both are loyal to the traditional
southern broad-brim hat pattern.
Senator Clapp of Minnesota is another
of the big-headed statesmen. The circum-
ferance of his brain size brings joy 10 the
scientists to gaze upon, but his head pre-
sents only good crop of brains. There
is nothing particularly artistic about ita
design. The senator is chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs and hobnob-
