Philosophy of Hats.

Another funny thing. Mariana, is
that funny looking women always buy
funny looking hats. while their fine
looking sisters snap up the palmer
but more becoming sorts. And we will
never get relief from those millinery
monstrosties. Mariana. until the fun
ny looking females reform. Although
we are opposed to the commission fad,
we would make but feeble protest
against a commission OF fine looking
women 10 supervise the purchase of
hats by sisters who think they must
have the sort which matches their
faces. II you have never observed
this trait, Mnranna, just sit up and
take notice next time you go to church.

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
w. 0. Larson, member of the Min
nesOta state board of automobile eX-
aminers, held an examination for au-
tOmobile chauffeurs at the city hall
this morning. About twenty men ap-
piled for papers and took the ex-
animation at this mornings session
and many more are expected to take
it this afternoon.
Each one taking the examination
must furnish two photographs so
that a record is kept of everyone
given chauffeur's license, one of
which is sent to the police depart
ment. When a chauffeur has been
arrested three times his license is
revoked until he can show proof of
his good character once more.
What Examination Consists Of.
The examination does not consist
of few petty questions, but such
as are vital to every driver of a
machine. The examiner can tell at
once when person applies for the
examination papers and whether he
is a driver of automobiles or has
just started to handle one. There are
