BOSTON PHILOSOPHER ON THE
Low DERBY.
From tho Roston HeraldD

nrOm the BOSTON f1cTalu.'
Tho hatmakcrs have at last sue eeded
in crushing down upon labor's brow the
low-crowned derby. The last time they
were able TO do It was in the early 'Ss.
During all that time that has since
elapsed the low top. ID derby has been the
10y of low comedians, the climax Gaping
a lucicrous mallc-up, the crown of a
ridiculous output This ancient treasure
and resource Of tho vaudevilrans is now
on every third or fourth head The hat
makers have put ono across.
There are only a few possible or per-
Missile permutatiors Of the derby, and
the hatmakers used to put the hat
through these year after year with tho
unnsplrcd method Of the rotation of
crops They raised it's crown, rounded or
f,attened II, widened or narrowed it's brim,
thereby making last years nat out OF
style. BY and by the pubic got rcstivo
and contG mncious. Several Great ons
which the hahcrdasnors' magazines stated
70 be what they were wearing did not
hnl purchasers. The alteration Of the
styles of the derby in recent years has
been slight Eut this ycar somehow the
hatters have shown their supremacy and
have put the vaudeville hat on our heads
creating dilemma for Messrs. Weber and
Fields. The acceptance OF this hat shows
how vaudeville has been displayed by
moving pictures
There is philosophy in hats. The tall
hat and frock coat make men col"mnar
and stately The tail hat makes man
dignihod. makes him stand erect. look and
feel important 1t is no accident that the
armies OF the two great European rivals,
Germany and Britain, wear the heaviest,
tallest hats 1t is no accident that the
helmet of the British soldier in India
forces his head aloft erect and mastorful
among the salaamng ryots.
The soft hat. the hat that takes some
thing of the character of the wearer with
the creases and cants he gives it, IS after
all. the principal American hat, and its
vogue Is an encouraging sign that we arc
not losins our individuality.

LABOR EXCHANGE BENEFITS
Growth In Public Fnvor Of nm Instru-
mept TO Relieve JrpemrJoymcnt.


Consult General John l.. Griffths Of
London in the Daily Consular and Trade
Reports SAYS
No more efficient instrument than the
government labor exchange perhaps has
ever been devised In the United Kingdom
to relieve the congestion Of labor by So
curing its moro oven distribution. The
exchange provides medium of commun
cation between employers and employees,
Sits out the incompetent wortingmcn and
furnishes to factory and shop men and
women both anxious and able to work
The hostility which was manifested
toward the government labor exchanges
In their early history has almost disap-
peared. They arc approved where they
were at first condemned. because their
function was misunderstood. and are now
fully established in the public confidence,
and, what is much more important, in
the confidence Of the employers and the
working people. On February |, 1910,
which marked the Inauguration of the
government labor exchanges some 80
were established in London and through
out the country. In three years they nave
increased to ~ with more than LOO local
received at the exchanges in 1912 aggre-
gated 2,32l,76c, while the number Of va
cancles notified was yS.4s7 and the num-
Der flled 1859.
In addition to the work primarily de-
signed for the labor exchanges, further
duties have developed upon them since
the passage of the insurance act. Through
the labor exchanges and the local agents,
unemployment benefits are claimed and
paid The unemployment benefits began
to accrue upon January Is, 1919. and the
first payment was made on January "A,
