THE STOVE-PIPE LID!
AGED 100 YEARS. =.

:
The "stove-pipe" hat is one huns
dred years old. So
Think of that when you, begin the
celebration of the various centen-
mails! 1t was in 1913 that the shiny
badge of craftsmanship and general
responsibility first came into being,
as we know it now. And since that
time it has been the only thing that
exists in this land of the free and the
brave to mark the man who has ac-
complished something in the world.
1t is painful to think of what might
have happened if no 'stove-pipe' had
been invented. What would the
preacher and the doctor and the I'M 1
dertaker and the exalted supreme
high mucky nUeks of all our secret
orders have done if there had been no I
high hat? How would we ever be-
able to distinguish the mayor or the
president of the school board from
the common everyday man were it !
not for. the shiny tile he wears on oc-
casions when he should be distin-
guished?
Nobody really knows just when
and how the high hat did come into
being. As far back as the middle-of 4
the eighteenth century something
like it was used by the daHdies Of the
courts of the English and French
monarchs. At the beginning of the
nineteenth century it came into gen
eral use in a little different form
from the present, Then it had a. very
bell-shaped crown and was usually
made of some furry material 1t was
worn by gentlemen" only. Then the
hat took its present shape and as
such it has come down through the
history of the United States as the
only badge of Office for the truly
great.
The poet that sang of the uneasy
way the head would lie that wore a |
crown could also have added stove

had much to do with causing bald
ness or scantiness of hair AMONG the
great and near great. The stove
pipe" fits tightly on the head when it
fits at all. And by depressing the
blood vessels causes the impoverish-
ment of natuFes foliage.
However, let no one worry over
that. This is the centennial of the
high hat and every one should cele-
brate. For who knows when the hand
Of fate might pluck him from OBJ,
security and, handing, him a shiny
''stove-pipe" lid, bid him fare forth
and hold his head high above the
crowd? For by that action he will
have been annointed by the gods of
fortune, even though it be his own
perspiration that does the amounting.
And he will be crowned with the
only crown known to a free people.
