Refreshinp Straw Hats

''At the end of the. season 1t may not
be amiss to write in advising thosa
whose straw hats have become burned
and disoolored by wear that black and
dark straws can be freshened by rubbing
them thoroughly with gasoline or kero-
sene. using a piece of velvet instead of a
brush. Shoe polish can be used to blacken
straws or to freshen black straws. Blue
straws may sometimes be successfully
brushed with washing blue. Before try
ing any of the suggestions on the whole
hat, however, experiment with them on
the inside of the crown. If the hat needs
much stiffening. use two-thirds shellac
and one-third alcohol; apply 1t with
brush Or equal parts of shellac and
alcohol If the hat needs little stiffening.

fourth section rule in the matter of
rates to Birmingham without likewise
doing so in the matter of rates to all
other points on direct routes between
the gulf and Nashville. 1t might be
we'll to point out here that the en-
forcement of the fourth section rule
thus demanded by your committee Is
entirely inconsistent with the demand
that rates on grain and other COM
modities from the Ohio and Mississippi
river crossings to points in the vicin-
ity of Birmingham shall be made on
the full Birmingham combination in or
der to enable Birmingham jobbers to
sell ON a parity with those located at
the crossings. However. this particular
matter has been, as stated, fully and
fairly presented to the interstate COM
merce commission and will doubtless be
passed upon by that body some time in
the near future. and we assume, and
respectfully suggest. that your COM
mittee will be willing to await such
decision.
Nashville Rates
with respect to the adjustment of
rates from the east to Birmingham
versus Nashville, the various railroads
reaching Nashville from the east have
felt that their existing relatively low
rate schedules to that city We're COM
PEELED and therefore justified by the
proximity of Nashville to the Ohio river
cities taking low trunk line rates from
the east. such as Louisville Evansville,
Paducah, etc. and by the actual and
potential competition of boats running
in the Cumberland river between such
Ohio river cities and Nashville, which
competition hasufor many years. as a
matter of practical experience. COM
PEELED the railroads serving Nashville
to accept extremely low freight rates.
Furthermore. the railroads reaching
Birmingham from the east feel that the
rates to that city are not unreason-
ably high in themselves, but on the con-
trary, are relatively low and that they
are fairly adjusted with reference to
the cities similarly located. Yet this
question, or rather one closely analo-
gous to It, Is also now pending before
the intAuutate commerce commission for
determination. The Atlanta freight bu-
reau filed some time since a formal
complaint against the adjustment of
rates from the east to that city. as
compared with rates from the east to
Nashville: that complaint has been
heard and submitted to the commission
on briefs and oral argument, and q
decision therin may shortly be expect
ed In that case the question as to
whether or not the defendant carriers
are justified by the geographical sit
uation and competitive conditions at
Nashville in accepting lower rates from
the east to that city than to Atlanta
was scarcely and fully presented to the
interstate commerce commission and
should that body uphold the defendant
carriers in that case in their conten-
tion in this respect. such ruling would
be clearly conclusive on the same ques-
tion when presented in the matter OF
rates to Birmingham versus Nashville.

Some Glaring Inconsistencies

Gamboa's s first note to Lind, which was
an appendix to the Presidents message
was considered in Washington very
able document from the Mexican view
|point However, in the sum total of his
correspondence with Lind, Gamboa is
guilty of several glaring Inconsistencies.
In his first note he says
"The request that Gen. Victoriano
Huerta should agree not to appear as a
candidate for the presidency of the re-
public in the coming elections cannot be
taken into consideration, because, aside
from it's strange and unwarranted char
be interpreted as matter of personal
dislike. This point can only be decided
by Mexican public opinion when it may
be expressed at the pols'
In a. subsequent note to Mr.. Lind, Gam
boa again raised the question of Huer-
Ia s candidacy and pointed out-evider. .ly
overlooking his former statement that
Huerta was barred from becoming a can
didate because under the Mexican con-
stitution, the provisional president cans
not be a candidate to succeed himself.
The sincerity of this declaration, how
ever, is questioned. This is constitu-
tional provision in Mexico, but 1t can be
and has been circumvented by the pro-.
visional president simply resigning and
let some one else become provisional
president and himself become candi-
date. This is believed to be the purpose
of Huerta.
