HIGH HAT ANNIVERSARY.

It has been formally announced in the esteemed Bridgeport Post that this is the one hundredth anniversary of the manufacture of the stovepipe hat. It does not suggest a celebration but the announcement leaves the people ing event if they feel so disposed. Less important things have been recognized and as. this is the year when the Panama exposition is being held in honor of the completion of the big canal, why would it not be a good plan to have the first stovepipe hat made placed on exhibition at the show. It might perhaps be difficult to obtain the first high hat made and in the search imposition might be prac- tised, because there are so many of them around and all look as if they might have been the first, but the matter might be looked into.
 The high hat has a most unique history. The man who never thought Of wearing one begins to look around when he acquires some distinction in tile form of increased wealth or per- haps a public office. Under such con- ditions men who have been known for their good judgment will insist upon celebrating their emancipation by wearing a silk hat. It matters not l, Ia ;c hnc ipp jc less a badge of distinction and it is worn as such. Sometimes the wearer will forget himself when endeavoring to add to his honors and drink a bit too much. It is then that the stove pipe becomes truly remarkable. No man ever looks as drunk as when wearing high hat; people who go along the street without gazing after people, will turn, stand and take a long and sometimes lingering look at the intoxicated individual so attired. Many frequently inquire who he is and where he came from. Gases have been known where they asked whither he was going. The high hat has lost some of it's popularity except among call for such headgear. If the in stitution of such a hat was to be cele- brated it would undoubtedly cause a revivification of style that carried with it distinction, a style with char acter.

They know says his bril- liant lordship, that we are paying 100000 pounds a day for this war, and I do not think that we should add the sacrifice of our thoroughbred horses" his argument being that if racing ceases blooded stock will dis appear. But is it as bad as all that? If there were no race meetings in England this year would the descen- dants of Eclipse, Sir Peter, Whale bone, Touchstone Birdcatcher, Mel bourne and Blair Athol become ex- tinct2
 Such is the reverence of British turfmen for the stud book that they would not let the grand old strains die out There may be as many high class foals in March April and May this year as usual So on the score of what Lord Rosebery calls the sacrifice of our thoroughbred horses there need be no fears Even in the dread contingency of conquest by German arms the Epson, Ascot,

 NO doubt Lord ROsebery and his friends would hate to see d year dropped out of the Derby sequence, which has been running from 17sO; but we can imagine nothing more painful than the enclosure at Epson with so many familiar faces missing and never to be seen again. There will, of course, be no continental Der bes this Hateful year of 1915 Cham tilly will be deserted Perhaps the clubhouse has been turned into a hospital. The English are great stick lers for decorum. If their allies can- not race, English turfmen might sac rifice one year of the sport them selves, for appearances at least But if they must go the circuit all the way round to Liverpool it might be done with the agreement that every pound sterling above expenses, including a percentage of the stakes and purses be devoted to the care of the wounded in war hospitals. A large sum of money could thus be ealized. and perhaps the allies would then under stand, or at least condone, the specta- cle of thousands of Englishinen bet- ting their money and shouting their heads off at racecourses while their l countrymen were being blown to bits ! in the trenches in Flanders.

VALUE OF WIRELESS SYSTEM.

L
 The La Touraine, which took fire at ]. sea sea early Saturday morning is now on { Ter way to Havre, her destination, With all on board safe and probably happy that they escaped what might easily have resulted in being driven into the water and perhaps losing their lives. There have been fires on steamships before, some have burned to the waters edge and many lives have been lost; there have been cases where steamships have never been heard from after they dis appeared from sight of the harbor from which they had sailed. Whether they had an explosion Or struck an iceberg, no one knows That how ever, was before wireless came. Now it is almost impossible for an accident miles away not being informed and assistance rendered as soon as possible.
 There were five steamers which answered the La IOuTdlHe CetlI Ao1 help and they stood by until it was definitely determined that she would Le able to extinguish the fire and pro- ceed to her destination. Announce ment is made daily on board of cer- tain steamers of the names of other vessels which will be within wireless communication during the day. Should an accident happen the injured vessel would instantly give warning and those steamers would answer. It ie; a great invention, by its use assist ance can be, and is given to other ships miles away and help is soon at hand. Without it many people would have gone to the bottom; with it the dangers of the sea have been wonder fully minirnized Life boats are of some value but they will not live long II, a rough sea but with a large ocean steamer waiting a short distance away there is not much danger. Wireless has done this and no greater benefit has come to navigation Big ships have done something but they are like a cork when the sea begins to roll and gets angry.

The New Transportation Development
 Springfield Republican.)

Springfield Republican.)
 It is being widely demonstrated that real menace to the patronage of street railways has arisen in the so-called 'jitney'' boom. We are told for example, that these motor, vehicles are being operated all over western Missouri and eastern Kansas. A dispatch from Kansas City says that scarcely town within a radius of 100 miles of that metropolis is without a jitney service, though the big boom has been in interurban ser vices between towns without direct railroad connections. Often three or four towns are linked so that from one to two or three trips a day are made on a regular schedule. Usuai- ly the service is between only two towns and, as a rule, the fare is, a little less than the railroad charge for the same distance
 The trustees of the Boston and M Maine railroad have admitted along with other railroad men, that the use of automobiles has contributed to the lessening of passenger receipts. Such admissions have had regard to auto mobiles operated by the owners of them, and not to any direct rivalry for the carrying of passengers who would otherwise go by the trolley or the railroad trains. Now the attempt is being made to take the man on the street away from the public service corporations so extensively through out the country as almost to consti tute a craze. So the puDllc service corporations are coming to be beset before and behind, as it were, and
 
 l something more than an occasion for l the display of humor.
 Where more than a nickel fare is l charged, these automobile ventures l of course pass out of the "jitney" 1 category, but the word is likely to 1 stick to all of them, when the fare l is ten cents or more. That is the l way our language grows In order to set up a "jitney" service a, roomy bus is no longer deemed necessary. l but any man with an automobile, large or small, who sees an opportun- ity to carry passengers, at any charge he can get, whether for distances long or short, is credited with rum 1 ming ''jitney'' line. Perhaps the hard times may be inducing owners of automobiles to adventure in this way, but in any event the newspapers from one end of the country to the other are chronicling their entrance into the transportation field.
 In discussing the crying need for l additional means of communication 1 between rural tonWs in western Mas sachusetts and the business centers | The Republican early suggested the 1 pra actica bility of employing motor 1 vehicles, and in this connection the 1 sudden practical development of the 1 idea throughout the country has it's l significance If folks are not rich enough to go to the automobile, a l way has been discovered Of having the automobile go to them. Every one who rides in a motor vehicle is led into a more generous apprecia- tion of this modern method of get ting about. Prejudices will be less ened when the ''jitney'' service is seen to be filling a new place in the com
 nunity life by affording short rides for a nickel and long ones in propor- ton. Just now everybody is watch l ing this thing grow.

very difficult one and alternate sur

whether we are securing the best.
After these surveys are completed the
question of securing the money TO

broad gauge line will be also, but
it is hoped that the broad gauging
of the line will tend to increase the
traffic sufficiently to pay the interest

should be started on the strength of
