of the anomalies OF the trade that

The customs returns. however. show
that we brought in from the United
States Of Colombia last year straw
hats to the value of $1.i72,S49, which
is far more than we bought from any
other country Colombia is the real
home Of the Panama. Mexico sent us
S297, S26 worth of straw hats; Ecuador
kicked in with $l71,720 worth, ana
Peru contributed straw hats to the
value Of s72,767. Most of these were,
by courtesy, Panamas.
Imports of straw hats from Japan
are astonishingly large, Japan being
second only to Colombia In amount

the Nipponese sold TO us $613,71T

To put Il otherwise, straw hats that

that come from the regions where civil

Add to the $31,b00,000 worth of
straw hats made in this country $4.-
500, 900 to represent the straw hats
imported. and you have a total of
$36, 100000 as the value of the annual

estimates of the population this year,
based on census returns, give the
country 97.000,000. Thus will be seen

the per capita consumption of straw

Only about two-thirds of the ma
terial used in the American factories
in making straw hats is grown in this
country. Last year we imported
more than. s5,0O0,00O worth of such
material China contributed S1,412,-

China are advancing lar over last
years figures. This is because of the
sudden and great popularity of tagal
braid made from Manila fiber
(Abaea). According to information
received by the bureau OF foreign and
domestic commerce tagal braid forms
about one-half OF the material for the
hats of women IN the United States
this summer
l. The raw material is grown chiefly
in the Philippines, but is sent to
japan and China where it is made
into the braid and then exported to
this country to be transformed into
hats. Nearly all the imports OF
straw hat material last year from
those countries was tagal braid
The Philippine government is max
ing strong effort to build up the
industry of manufacturing the braid,
and also cloth from the same sub
stance, in the islands. BY reason of
the Gemand for raw material the pro-
duction is increasing enormously
Aguinaldo, once leader of the
rebellion against the authority of the
United States, is one of the pioneers
in the industry of growing Abaca,
from which the braid is made, and is
now experimenting in manufacturing
it. He has large plantation devoted
to the culture Of the plant.

the officials at Laredo may have made
mistake in the name. The man evil
IDENTIFY was conscious after reaching
Laredo and he made statement to the
government officials before his death.
Mayor Head at once notified the gov
eminent officials to send him more in

tives or friends.
1t is possible that the United States
government viii make provisions for
shipping the remains of Fiagg to Ke-
nosha if his relatives can be located
here. Congress recently made provision
to aid refugees leaving Mexico and it
is thought that the disposal of the
Flagg case will come under this action
of Congress.

been a general exodus of Am orleans

est possible time.
