Manufacture of Hats.

L rom the f4tttfltal Record.
Hats were first manufactured in Eng
land about 1910 and superseded caps or
soft headgear in the reigr: of Queen Eliz-

Tioyed i'll forming felt hats. but in time
as European trade with America devel-
oped. the fur of the heavier, being finer
and softer, came into Use. hence the term
beaver was long SYNONYMOUS with hat.
For about three centuries fine beaver
hats dyed black and prepared with much
skill formed the head covering of the
higher classes iii Great Britain. This
hcadgear distinguished them from til.
middle and humber classes, which con
tiniled for come time to wear the less cx-
iienS!Te caps and bonnet:.
Political and religious differences have
often been marked by the form of hats.
The Puritan of the reign of Charles
adopted the Steepie hat, high and mar
ornament. The cavalier during the same
era were q lower and broader crown.

Quaker hat, low in the crown. with Z,

seventeenth century.
The history Of hat manufacture in this
country dates back to very early colo
NAL days. In 1862 the assembly of Nir-
ginia enacted a law Offering ten pound

When Charley Murphy, owner of the

of the playing of that series. Joe Jack
son. the phenomenal fielder and batter 81

versation between the pair, Murphy re-
marking:
Say, Uncle Ben, how did YOU ever let
Jackson get away from you?
well, Charley, / guess Barnard must

reply.
In Murphy's eyes Jackson is all that a
base ball player should be and he pre-
diets that the boy from Dixie will sur
pass Ty Cobb and Nap I.ajoie at the bat
in 1911. Murphy watched jackson III &C
ton at New Orleans last spring and both
he and Manager Chance were DESTROYS OF

longed to the Athletics they saw their ef-
forts would be unavaiiing.
Now that Murphy has made an offer OF
Sl'.Wn for Jackson. Shibe and Mack must
feel deep regret that they ever let the
southern slugger get away from them
That same offer. also, Will go great way

tween left and right fields and the bench,
and, on Barnard's arrival in Philadelphia,
Mack, who was in need of right handed
outfialder just then, asked Cleveland to
sell Lord to the Athletics. Barnard saw
his chance.
But we don't want cash Give us the
right TO deal with Joe Jackson and Lord

Mack reluctantly agreed He had in
tended to use jackson himself a regu-
lar next season. but he had granted New
Orleans permission to use MIN during the
entire season of 1910, and, as the Pelicans
were fighting for the pennant. Manager
Frank did not wish to part with him. But
Mack had to have another outtie1der right
away in order to insure the American
League pennant. and he allowed Jack
son To become the property of the Maps.
In certain quarters Barnard was roast

face Cleveland was merely getting Third

opposition to any reduction on print
paper. and the members of the committee
Immediately began to task him some
pertinent questions.
They wanted to know why it was that
the price of print paper was practically
higher today than it was before the duty
was reduced by the Payne tariff act to
the extent of 81 a ton. They reminded
Mr.. Hugo that the paper makers at that
time pleaded that they were going to he

fallen out that they have suffered the
reduction and yet paper is, selling higher
today than before the lowering of duty.
And they wanted further to know why
the paper makers feared ruin OF their

if the price has advanced by taking off
this much.

MI. Hugo Explains.

MI. Hugo had several eXplana tionS, the
main one being that he Law of supply
and demand regulated the price; also
that before the tariff went into effect the
price of paper was artiticially depressed
on account of fear of tariff reduction
and has now resumed its normal state;
also that Canadian restriction had some
thing to do with it,
Il reckon YOU fellows have artiticially
fixed the price among yourselves grum-
bled Champ Clark of Missouri. Its a
case of the trusts again.
Representative Fordnev protested
against this hypothesis, calling attention
to the fact that although the duty had
been taken off hides. the price of shoes
had advanced.
We'll. that's the leather trust, said
Mr.. Clark.
1t was brought out in the hearing this
morning that since the operation of the
new tariff law the Importation of Cana
dian paper into the United Safes had M
creased from nothing to about '.tJ2 tons
a month, and yet the price had gone up.
1t was also shown that paper was be-
ing exported to Canada. that about -
G9D.ED pounds year were exported to
foreign countries and sold at a less price
than is obtained in this country. That
practice was stoutly defended by the
paper men, who somewhat detiant1y de-
clared they would continue the practice
of holding on their markets as long as the
American Congress treated them as 1t
has been doing and threatens to do.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-02-06
SAYS Tariff Is Necessary.

The paper men insisted that a tariff is
necessary i'm order to compensate between
the difference in the cost of production
on this side and in Canada. and to
give ,Es the reasonable margin of profit
demanded by the republican national plat
form"
Mr. Hugo insisted that the duties now
proposed to be taken off amount to from
So. ID to SIS a ton, and that this meant
ruin to the paper industry. The wit
ness admitted that the paper manufac-
turers were now buying pulp wood cheap
er than ever before.
Well said Champ Clark. You told
us two years ago you would 20 to smash

did touch it. and you admit that YOU are
getting more for Your paper now than

fears expressed today.
