Velvet and plush hats are de
rigueur for dressy one-piece gowns
worn In the street. but generally only
the top of the hat is covered with
these materials. Tie facing OF the
hat is of satin-white, IL the top or the
hat Is black. and the reverse for the
other arrangenent-and the shape is
larger than those worn with coat
suits. the custume calling for more
dressiness than the suit. The single
ornament stiil bedecks these dashing
hats, a pair of Mercury wings perched
lightly at the brim edge or In front
OF the hat. a silk cockade at the front
or side, or silk and velvet quilts or
enormous height put anywhere. The
broad hat with rolling brim and
round shallow crown. with fiat cock
ade of some sort. is a favorite with
those who can wear the youthful and
smart style Colored hats IN the same

Enormous Cost Of Maintaining Snow
Piows and Crews-Much Damage
10 Caused by Avalanches.

Denver, Colo.-The annual battle
with the snow king Is on in the Rocky
mountains. From the middle of Feb
ruary to the LIST of May the struggle
ia at its hardest Western railroads
are hurting their giant rotaries
against the drifts that threaten to i'm
pede transcontinental traffic. Snow
slides are booming down mountain
sides. sweeping away valuable timber
and sometimes carrying away mining
camps, villages. stage coaches and
trains.
To secure an accurate estimate Of
the amount Of money spent in fighting
the snow king in the Rockies every
winter and to cast up the total am, ant
of damage done by avalanches is not
easy. Authorities on the subject say
that $2O,000.000 would not cover the
total.
Every western railroad Is under tre-
mendous expense in maintaining snow
plows and their crews. The first cost
of a modern rotary pillow is about
s25, 5000.
In Colorado. which contains the
highest mountains Of the continental
divide. snow fighting has been devel-
oped to a science. Every railroad In
Colorado has full equipment Of snow
plows and maintains snow fighting
crews for eight months Of the year.
Necessarily when the SHOWS are Sc
verest attention Is centered on the
main lines. which are kept clear most
of the time, traffic seldom being i'm
peded an hour by the worst blizzard.
The branch lines. which penetrate
the high hills to the mining camps. do
not fare so well, and some of the Col
orado mining towns like Silverton and
Breckenridge are cut off from the rest
of the world for weeks. in spite Of the
efforts Of the snow fighters.

ing than any other line In the world
The Denver. Northwestern & Pacific
crosses the continental divide about
so miles west of Denver at an alti.
tude Of more than 1000 feet above
sea level
For miles on both sides of the. di.
vide the snow plows are required to
do heavy service. The track must be
swept clean every day. for the reason
that the high winds are constantly
filing the cuts with snow The drifts
accumulate on each side Of the track
until the trains are overtopped many
feet and they pass through miles OF
snow lanes. yet SO Systematically Is
the track kept cleared that traffic is
seldom impeded
The damage caused by avalanches
In the ROCKY mountains each winter
is past all accurate computation
These snowslides are full Of treachery
and descend at the most inopportune
times and In the most unexpected
places. There are some slides in the
San Juan mountains in western Colo
RADIO which follow beaten trails and
which come booming down the slopes
at about the same time each year
Their paths are avoided and they dc
little damage But the average snow
slide seems to be creature of whims
It forms at the foot of some erals
far above. the timber line. The winds
whip the snow into deep drifts at the
head of slope leading thousands al
feet into a deep valley below. Under
the spell Of the frightening days and
warm suns of February and March the
drifts begin to loosen. Tiny rivulets
trickle from beneath the white man
tie, and suddenly, with a roar that Il

once heard it. the whole mass starts
