the owners of straw hats lad many
narrow escapes while chasing their
elusive lids across the car tracks.
A dapper young man, evidently
travelling salesman, stepped up to
Patrolman Van Ripper, stationed at
the Hudson Terminal in Park Place,
and just as he was about to ask the
policeman something his straw hat
went whirling off his head. The
young man dropped his two suit
cases and started in pursuit. The
chase ended abruptly, however, when
taxi stopped the rolling hat by fiat
tening it out. The young man came
back to the officer in a rage, saying
that the straw hat was the second
he had lost in that way in as many
hours. After Van Ripper had directed
him to the, nearest store the young
man left vowing he would buy a hat
that could be tied to his head with
strings under his chin.
