The Yachting Exit"

It's odd, but true-a man who wears a
yachting cap may really own yacht.
The vulgar sporting of yachting caps
by wharf idlers, who only sniff salt water
from afar and never trod a deck. makes
yacht owners and their guests extra pune
tilious not to affect too aughty nau-
tical" air, unless they're on ship or on
their way to or from it.
The cap of the type much favored by
yachtsmen is of white cloth, with a long
visor of cloth or patent leather. Black or
dark blue caps are quite as correct as
white duck.
Beyond the established shape of the
cap, yachting dress is determined more by
the swim of the yacht owner and oy the
regulations of the club he belongs to than
by fashion. Gilt buttons on the coat.
crossed anchors on the collar and braid
on the sleeves differ according to rank
and the flag one flies.
Ordinarily, the double breasted jacket
of dark blue serge and trousers OF white
serge, flannel or duck are prescribed, to-
gether with white silk hose and white
rubber-soled shoes. One usually wears a
wing collar and four-in-hand of soft
foulard silk, pinless.
The palpable landlubber. posing and
pirouetting In "yachty'' clothes, is a spec:
tacle to make the serious minded turn
away and the humorous-minded double up.
Outing "Togs."
Every outdoor sport mas manner OF
dress all its own created and developed
through years of study of the special
needs OF play and player. While comfort
is always greater consideration than
fashion on field, court and links, 1t 1s
possible TO dress both comfortably and
fashionably and to preserve that dash Of
picturesqueness which lends added charm
to games in the open.
Sport for sports sake is all very
well, but when man fancies that ANY
sort of rough-and-tumble suit will serve,
that any sort of faded shirt will do. he Is
at disadvantage and unconsciously sur
renders ease and poise Without excep-
ton every one of the championship win
ners and tournament stars Is stlckler
for correct dress, because the feeling that
he looks right makes him feel right
makes him square his shoulders and tilt
his chin at more confident angle-rnakes
him steadier-handed and surer-footed.
Mems. dress is SO lacking in color and
variety that the sports offer about the
only means Of stepping out of the rut of
every -dayness' and gratifying that
love of color which, though repressed by
conventionality, is ingrained in mon as
much as in women.

There are periodical attempts to create
vogue for distinctively hot-weataer
lounge suits Of stuffs like pongee and
silk-and-linen. These are both sensible
how well cut, they drape ill and crumple
easily.
The undoubted fault of most of these
suits is that they are cut to fit too tightly
and, therefore, wrinkle and sag. They
should be cut comfortably loose, with a
straight, drop of the coat and trousers
that are extra rOomy.

MONEY IN GATORS
Many Are Being Raised in
South America.
USES FOR THE CARCASSES
Ornaments Are Made From the Teeth
and Souvenirs Out of
the Claws.

Alligator. farming for profit is develop
ing into a business of considerable im-
portance in Venezuela and Colombia,
South America, according to Franklin
Adams OF the Pan-Amerioan Union, who
has just returned to Washington from an
extensive trip in the southern hemisphere.
Alligator farms have long been more or
less of a magazine and newspaper joke,
and there have been some tentative
efforts to establish them on a business
basis in Florida, but the supply of wild
gators has been enough to meet the COM
mercial demand for skins
Now, however, the demand for alligator
leather has increased and there have been
many other uses discovered for the car
casses such as making ornaments out of
the teeth, using some of the interior or
gans in medicine and mounting the claws
for souvenirs. With this increase in de-
mand the alligator hunters have dimin-
ished the wild supply considerably, and
the South American farmers, who are by
no means asleep to commercial possibili-
ties. as is often supposed In this country,
have gone into gator farming on an ex-
tenSive scale.
Fence In Land.
Much of the river and marsh land in
Venezuela and Colombia is good for little
except raising the saurians, unless it is
drained for farming. which is rather an
expensive undertaking. So the farmers
in many cases have simply fenced their
land and put wire mesh barriers across
the streams to keep In the alligators. and
have allowed the reptiles to propagate
themselves. 1t is not claimed that the
gators are as prolific as rabbits, but they
lay twelve eggs at time. and out of
these they usually manage to bring about
ten to maturity. The farmers do not
wait for the alligators to reach full size.
because at three years they are big
enough for commercial purposes, while to
reach the maximum of fourteen feet
takes the best part of century.
three-year-old alligator will bring q
gross return of about so. and there is
little expense connected with preparing
him except brine for curing the skin
which is preferred on the marke. to the
stiff sun-dried hide. OF course. these
young alligators do, not furnish as much
| in the way of teeth and claws as the
older specimens, but the farmers keep a
watch on their herds. and kill of a few
OF the more mature ones each season.
Little Work Involved.
This sort of farming is very much to
the liking of the South American culti-
vatoy, because there is little. work in
| volved except sitting down and waiting
for the gators to grow. The Indians do

THE WELL DRESSED MAN
BY
B E "A u N A S Fl
Copyright, 1912, by Alfred F. Bryan.

There is such a multiplicity of sporting
caps that 1t would be idle to describe even
a .'corporaTs guard of them. Their
sma rtness" depends wholly upon where
and how they are worn.
a novel type of cap has the back of the
crown pleated making 1t full of give
and-take," so that the Wearer can pull 1t
far down over his brow to screen himself
from sun or wind Being plastic and
elastic, this sort does not bind like the
ordinary cap, but sits right-and-tight on
the head at whatever angle 1t may be
perched.
Caps, like norfolk Jackets. should never
be worn in town, except for motoring or
riding. Away from the country, they hint
of the stable boy They are simply a
part of fatigue dress of gentleman.
To be sure. the cap is a tiptop companion
for travelling on trains or boat though it
is not becoming to every cast of features
Soft-Roll Flannel Suits.
Notably smart and "summery' are
the soft-roll flannel coat and trousers
The rolled lapel effect extends down. to
the bottom rim of the coat SO that when
the garment is left unbuttoned the lapel
and chest form an unbroken ripple of
cloth.
But the most chic" feature of this cos
tune is the dark blue silk sash worn in
place of the conventional leather belt. 1t
is daring. of course, and not likely to be
attempted by the generality of men, but.
withal it isn't foppsh. A sash. il it be
narrow and dark-colored, harmonizes cap
italy with the softness of summer dress
and. moreover. broad sashes, worn after
the manner of a comic-opera brgand by
men with "tummy," are ridiculous.
With this suit one carries switchy
stick of calcutta bamboo and wears a
panama hat. The coat has patch pock-
cts. which belong only on country lounge
suits like this. The trousers are rolled
UP and braided down the outer seam.
Altogether. strikingly modish effect for
those who know what to wear and when

While in the city yesterday on business. George Sears of Maricopa county stated that the farmer of the Salt River valley was passing through an exceptionally good year in marketing his alfalfa hay crop, and at an advaneed price over any previous season.
 The first cutting of hay had been delivered to Mississippi River valley points in the South where the disas- trous floods occurred, and praeti- cally all of the second crop was sold. The tonnage was heavy and required several hundred cars to transport 10 various sections. lt is not believed that the supply center will be equal to the heavy demands coming in The farmer consequently is happy and next year the acreage will be increased to meet any want that may possibly arise.
