!. MANS HEADGEAR.
From Che Primitive Cap to the Glossy
Hish Hat Of Today.

From che Primitive Cap to the Glossy
BIS High Hat Of Today.
y Earliest of all forms of headgear was
the cap. The hat did not really come
into common use till the seventeenth
century. In the time Of Charles I. the
queer high sugar loaf shaped hat came
into fashion. 1t was wound with a
rich band and trimmed with feather.
Constant balancing Of the head was
necessary to keep 1t on. The hat was
taken up by the Puritans, who salts
fed their bitter consciences by discard
Ing the frivolous band and the wicked
feather.
! Charles II. brought the French peri
wig into England, and the tall hat
went out to make way for a low, broad
brimmed thing, gorgeous with feathers
and gimcracks. These broad brims be-
came broader and broader. At last it
became necessary to turn them up.
First this was done at the back, finally
according to the wearer's idea.
Out Of this extravagant style of head
gear grew the cooked hat. The foot
men and the liveried coachmen of
many European nations still wear this
style Of headgear. During Queen Anne's
time the cooked hat was the hat of the
gentleman. The correct fashion was
to carry it under the arm as much as
| possible. @ .@> a.. .-.
| The French revolution, which took
off SO many heads that had worn the
cooked hat, took off the cooked hat too
In it's place the crescent shape became
the style, partly by force. The direct
ancestor of that dreadful thing, the
high hat Of today, was the noble and
sturdy beaver. Beavers went out OF
fashion largely because the supply Of
material became exhausted.-London

When Chinese baby takes a nap
people think its soul is having a rest
going out for long walk perhaps. If
the nap is very long one the mother
Is frightened. She Is afraid that her
baby's soul has wandered too far away
and cannot find its way home. If it
doesn't come back, Of course the baby
will never awaken. Sometimes men
are sent out into the streets to call the
baby's name over and over again, as
though it were real child lost They
hope to lead the soul back home. If
baby sleeps. while it is being carried
from one place to another the danger
Of losing the soul along the way is very
great. So whoever carries the little one
keeps saying its name out loud, so, that
the soul will not stray away. They
think of the soul as a bird hopping
along after them.

CARLOS WAS
Royal Thief
IN FACT WHOLE ROYAL FAMILY
OF PORTUGAL HAD TREND "
af g.. THE SAME WAY.

London, July 17.-Fresh revelations
came to light today regarding the
Misrepresentation of crown property
by the late King Carlos and mis- fam
lily. The commission investigating the
illegal transactions declares that the
early estimate of $1,OO0,0O0 would
probably be too small.
The Secula has made known the
method by which such large sums
were obtained. q ".
+ One big railway is listed as having
been advanced $4,OO0,OOO for extern
sion of its lines, but it's books show
that only 100000 was actually re-
ceived. The sum of 100000 was di.
vided among King Carlos and the po'
litical grafters, who put the deal
through. .$
Dowager Queen Maria Pia appears
as guilty as the rest. It is charged
that after improperly receiving 81,
100000 from the state, she secretly
contracted a loan in Germany of 1925,
900 at 6 per cent, repayable within q
year. For this loan she paid $1,000
commission to the agent. This loan
has now fallen due, and the govern
ment, fearing a scandal, has been
forcedtsto pay it. Il
81 Theisdiscovery that 100000 worth
of the r"crown jewels" are missing has
enraged the public more than any o.
the other disclosures. These jewels
while in the suctody of the royal fam
lily, really belonged to the state, anC
King Manuel has promised to niak'
good their loss.

PEACE TO Be
JAP POLICY

Toxic, July 17.-Marquis Katsura,
the new premier and minister Of f.
nance Of Japan, today granted an ex-
elusive interview to the Associated
Press, outlining his policies to be
carried out during his administra-
ton. The interview showed a determ-
ination to improve the political and
commercial relations between Japan
and all foreign countries and to re-
model the finances of that country
and to build up its industries
Marquis Katsura said in part:
''The recent change in the cabinet
was caused simply on account of the
continued i'll health of former Prim-
Ter Saionji, although there may have
been other unessential reasons nee
essitating change of policy toward
foreign countries, I need hardly say
that my policy will be petceful, the
prime object of it being to maintain
peace throughout the world. With
this end in view / will do my best to
cultivate and increase the present
good relations existing between ia
pan and the powers. .3
Japan must not be misunderstood
in her sincere desire to maintain
peace. Anything calculated in ever
the slightest degree to disturb the
peace Of the world shall be mos
scrupulously avoided by me-

A Fox's Strataaefr,

A fox Is bound to be a thief when
ever he has half chance to steal, says

help taking goose than a badly train
ed cat can help taking chop from the
hrder. There was a tame fox that
was chained in a yard to keep him out
Of mischief, but he soon hit upon a
plan for Selling 8 stray duck or fowl.
At the very farthest point to which his
chain would reach he used to place a
portion of his food and then hide him.
self in his kennel. In due course a
silly chicken was sure to spy the, bait
and begin pecking at 1t. Before it had
had time to enjoy its meal, however,
the fox would pounce upon it and the

NATURAL SOAP.
The Queer Fruit of Tree That Grows
j. ,r. In Algeria.

The Queer Fruit of Tree That Grows
ST ,-- In Algeria.
Soap grows on trees In Algeria. The
soap tree is ornamental and reaches q
height Of fifty feet 1t begins to bear
fruit when six years old. The wood is
close grained, takes a good polish and
Is admirably suited for furniture. The
average income from a tree is $40 to
$40 year. The composition of the
fruit consists Of nut shaped hull in
which is seed. In the hull exists the
soapy matter in the proportion of 80
to 20 per cent of the bulk Of the hull.
The soap principle is set free by the
shredding Of the hull and using it with
water just as If it were piece Of soap.
A beautiful lather Is the result, and the
cleansing qualities are such that there
Is no soap made by human process that
can comparc with them. For toilet
purposes the same applies. The hull
ean be made into powder and the
Sowder into cake, SO as to make the
use Of it easier. 1t can also be made
INTO liquid for hair wash, dentifrice
and various other preparations. Seeds
Of the Algerian sos@ tree have been i'm.
ported to the United States, and soap
trees have been discovered In Florida
Indigenous to the soil. The seed has q
kernel which contains fixed oil in ev.
cry respect preferable to the best i'm.
ported olive oil, either for eating OF
culinary purposes, and also for all
kinds Of Industrial products in which
the olive oil is used. The yield in oil Is
