HATS ON OR HATS OFT
Norfolk Mayor Vetoes Ordinance Az
fectfng Swomen Theatergoers.

Norfolk Mayor vetoes ordinance Az
fectfng 0women Theatersoers.
From the Baltimore American.
The city council Of Norfolk recently
passed an ordinance directing all women
in theaters to remove their hats. and
providing penalties and punishments in
case Of refusal. Mayor Reddick promptly
vetoed the ordinance. and so, most likely.
saved the city from a revolution that
would have shaken the foundation stones.
In vetoing the act. the mayor gave as
the one and all-sufiicient reason, that
Norfolk Is no longer a village, but Q
city" Everybody will agree that the
Norfolk mayors reason is Just as logical
and convincing as the well-known wom-
ans reason of because, and as every
body knows the aforementioned reason
generally wins.
But the hats on or hats OF problem
Is a serious one, which Is liable to bob
up again. even In Norfolk. The moving
picture shows endeavor to coax and per-
suade the wearers Of beautiful but OBJ
structive millinery to don. by throwing
on the screen such suggestions as
Ladies, your hats are lovely. but the
men behind them have studied them until
their loveliness has soaked in. Please,
now. take them OF and give those behind
q chance to see the pictures" In many
cities that no longer regard themselves
as being in the village class, the custom
Of removing the hats Is general with the
women Of the audience.
In Baltimore picture shows there IL no
prevailing rule. Sometimes they do, and
sometimes they don't. But here. a. elss-c
where, the men whose view Of the stage
Is shut on by q lovely creation in mill
linery are apt. to be making suppressed

when crossing bridges or toll roads. The
decision was rendered in the case Of a
motorist whose business took him at fire.
Quent intervals over a toll road, on which
the toll was ten pennies for a four-seated
car, and twenty pennies for a one seating
more than four persons.
The touring car in question had four
regular seats, and in addition two extra
ones which are hinged to the sides and
easily detachable. Being requested by
the toll keeper to pay twenty pennies, he
refused and carried the matter into the
courts, with the result that he won. AS a
great many of the continental touring
cars are fitted with removable seats, and
toll roads are a-plenty in Germany, the
decision has considerable interest outside
the Empire.
An ingenious Briton has invented a
special type Of body which has double

closed trough formed In the upper part Of
the inclosure thus created in employed

THE POTASH QUEST.
Secretary Wilson Says We Have
Plenty and Do Not Need Germany.

Fienty and DO Not Need Germany
From The Louisville CourierJomnal.
Secretary Wilson, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Is said to
have sent his scientists out on an expe-
dition in search Of potash. Germany has
been furnishing this country with large
quantities of potash, which is used in
the manufacture Of fertilizers. Now Ger.
many has become stingy with her potash
and has levied an export tax which Is
calculated to discourage shipments to the
United States.
Secretary Wilson thinks we have plenty
Of potash at home and he is sending his
experts out to find 1t. There are no adj
vices to the effect that he has sent any
OF them to Kentucky. but this really is
not necessary, as some Of the enterpris-
ing citizens Of Warren County have been
gathering specimens Of potash-bearing
mari from the creek and river beds in
that section and have sent them to the
Geological Survey headquarters In Wash
ingtcn for analysis. Other specimens
have been sent to Prof. Norwood, direc-
tor Of the Kentucky Geological Survey,
and 1t is probable that reports win be
Forthcoming as to their value at an early
date.
Kentucky probably has the potash that
Secretary Wilson Is looking for, as Ken
lucky has almost anything that anybody
wants in the mineral line, including gold
on Muldraugh's hill. diamonds In Elliott
County, and silver at the forks Of Ken
lucky River. True, we haven't developed
these precious materials in sufficient
quantities to cause anything like a Grip
pie Creek boom, but that is probably be-
cause we have been too busy talking poll
tics. At the same time we are digging
lot Of valuable things out Of the earth
and finding new treasures every week tor
to be.
