SILK HAT EAINZINE RESULTS
FROMEXPOSI77ON DEMAND

not think about silk hats when they
left home. That is fatal.
When the Liberty Bell arrived in
San Francisco after its long journey
across the continent the silk-hat fam
inc became acute. The Philadelphians
who accompanied the bell had some
thing on their minds besides silk hats
I when they left home. An hour after
landing here, however, they found
their brains were naked. They had
come away from home in travelling
caps or soft hats. Spread out before
them was a wilderness of silk hats.
But they were all on other peoples
heads. To uphold the dignity OF Phil
adelphia and properly shelter their
dOmes in keeping with the example
set by the exposition officials and nu-
merOus committees greeting them, silk
hats were imperative. Stores were
riety that used to be lined on the in
side like casket were unearthed.
Some of them Topped down over the
Philadelphians' head. Others perched
precariously upon a knowledge bump.
But two-gallon "top-pieces" had to be
had. When the official ceremonies on
Liberty Bell Day" took place, the
Philadelphians were there. They had
their silk hats, but the folks at home
little know the suffering they en-
dured.
In the early days of the exposition
the officials hardly stepped across an
avenue without having an automobile
at their disposal. Automobiles went
fine with silk hats. 1t was the life.
Then the exposition had a streak OF
economy. The automobiles were taken
away from the dedication committees.
They had to walk, and in silk hats.
Ceremonies come in thick and fast
once-a-day starts at the exposition
and come in widely separated spots.
Hence any day now you can see a
group of frock-coated gentlemen hot
footing it down some palm-lined ave-
nue.. mopping fevered brows and dang
ling silk-hats at their sides. They
are about to dedicate something or
other. If over-worked they might be
permitted to shed their coats, but
when the crucial moment comes, the
two-gallon hats must be on the job.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 12-
Iheres a two-gallon hat famine in
San Francisco. The suffering is ter
rible. Peaceful old patriarchs are
being dragged forth to brave the
winds and fogs to make an exposition
holiday. TILES" of by-gone days are

tury progress.
ASK any hat man in San Francisco
and he will tell you that attempting to
serve the Panama Pacific Exposition
with ilkhats is as bad as furnishing
Europe with munitions. More ammu-
milton may have been used at Neuve
Chapelle than during the entire Boer
war. but more two-gallon hats are
being used at the exposition than were
required to inaugurate all the presi-
dents and governors of these States.
The reserves of 1916 were long ago
called out and the "home defense" is
now on its last legs.
It's this way: every time a govern
or, general, former president or some
body of that sort arrives in town to
visit the exposition, several commit
tees doll up" to meet them. Every
body must have a silk hat. There is
a constant succession of these visits,
which causes consider able wear and
tear on the hats, and in addition every
twenty-four hours at the Exposition is
somebody's or something's Day"
There are buildings to dedicate. trees
to plant and always somebody to get
bronze plaque. When somebody said
every dog has his day" he must have
had advance information as to the big
fair out here. Now every word in
telling of the conditions to be met
represents a dozen silk hats. Every
tree planting, every dedication, every

ceremonies-and more hats. Some
visitors arrive here full of happiness
and cheer and without a care in the
