STRAW HATS AND AUTOS.
a Striking Likeness Between Them
Pointed Out by Mr.. MacBIink.

Pointed Out by Mr.. MacBIink.
You might scarcely think" said Mr..
MacBlink. that there was anything in
common between straw hats and auto
mobiles. but by that way OF thinking
you'd be surely forgetting their cost Of
upkeep, in which respect they are strik-
ingly alike
They say it costs more 10 keep an
automobile than Il does 10 buy one: pre-
cisely the same is true OF the straw hat.
YoJ take my own experience for an illus
tration.
Early in the season I bought a straw
hat for which ] paid s. ! know a place
where you can get a very good straw hat
for that money, and If il hadn't rained
all summer l should have been on the
straw hat account under no additional
expense.
But it always does rain more or less,
just as il has done this summer, and as
is very well known if a drop Of rain gets
on a straw hat il is all up RaindrOns or
a straw hat viii accumulate dust. and
then you have 10 have the hat cleaned.
and that costs money in some places D
cents: in some l5
Il md by reference 20 my books that I
have paid out this summer in straw hat
account for upkeep only $3.50 which is a
good deal. While the automobile man
has been spending his money for gaso-
line and things I have been blowing mine
for hat cleaning. and IT has cost me more
10 keep that hat going than it cost me
originally.
But IN this 7 find some slight sausfac-
ton. In this respect al least l ind my
self on the same footing with the man
who at the beginning Of the season
bought instead OF a straw hat an automo-
bile"

Barney Oldfeld, surpassed all re.
cords of speed last week in his SEN
s~ational race against time. He made
a mile in 1888 seconds, better than
two miles a minute, in a 200 horse
power automobile. This is the fast
est ever Travelled by a human being
and the only invention of man
which exceeds it in speed is that of
a bullet. In the description of the
race, it was said that almost before
the knowledge Of the start had been
transmitted to the brain, the race
was over. and all that the eye could
See of it was a cloud of smoke and

A baseball gun" is one Of the
latest things in the invention line.
1t was invented by an officer in the
U. S. Navy, and is intended to take
the place of the human pitcher in
baseball. The ball is propelled
through space by means of COM
pressed air. and with a speed equal
to that of the best pitchers. The
gun is mounted on a pedestal and
can be pointed at any angle. Such
an invention might bring the nation
al game down to a slightly more
scientific basis, but it would dispense
with a lot of the personal interest.
