IN AN authoritative display of fine
i hats it is strongly evident that the
insistent demand for fancy ostrich, in
stead of ostrich plumes, dominates
the minds Of designers. Ostrich in
new forms, in fanciful montures, and
in what is generally classed as fancy
ostrich" is used on nine out of ten
Observation-Disclosures hats. And on
the tenth hat, if plumes are used, they
are mounted in odd ways.
Three fashionable turbans are
shown here in which fancy ostrich ap-
pears as the trimming. They are of
velvet and are excellent types of hats
that are suited to general wear, for
the velvet turban and the fancy
feather figure in all sorts of hats.
An odd shape appears at the right,
covered with black velvet. The crown
overlaps the brim, forming a ridge
about the hat A fringe of white
ostrich, in which the fiues are only a
little curled, falls from underneath
the overlapping crown and cover the
brim to the edge. The brim curves
outward, forming a bonnet-like setting
for the face, and is faced with silk
A very tall single plume like a long
broad quill. is mounted at the side
It's extreme height is characteristic OF
the standing trimmings on smart mil
linery for this season. Another ode
new feature in this turban is furnished
by the band of narrow grosgrain rib
bon which is drawn about the hat ovel
the tor ostrich fringe. The

AUTOMOBILE HITS
BICYCLE RIDER
Edmund Scott, Gas Company
EmpIOye, Has Narrow ES-
cape from Death.

Edmund Scott, "a years old, an
employe of the Northern Indiana Gas
and Electric Co, narrowly escaped
death Thursday afternoon at / o'clock,
when he was struck by an automobile
driven by Miss French Of Niles. The
accident occurred on Jefferson blvd,
near Polk st. Scott was dazed for
some time after being hit but finally
was able to go to the Office of DR.. r.
l.. Sensenich, where at a late hour he
was undergoing an examination and
no report could be secured as to his
condition.
Miss French was driving her car
westward as Scott rode at fun speed
on his bicycle out Of Polk st. onto
Jefferson and turned west. 1t was
raining at the time and when Scott
saw the automobile approaching he
applied his coaster brake with such
force that the bicycle slid on the pave
ment and against the street car track
so that he was thrown down in front
of the approaching automobile which
had been steered to the left in an at
tempt to avoid the bicycle.
1t is said by those who saw the
accident that at least one wheel of the
automobile passed over Scott but it is
also stated that Miss French was not
driving ct an excessive rate or speed.
Scott refused all prOfferS of aid after
he regained his feet and for con-
siderable time he was apparently
daZed.

SMALL MILK DEALERS
DISCUSS PURCHASE OF
PASTEURIZING MACHINE

A meeting of a number of the
smaller milk dealers was held We'd
nesday night at the home of Roy
Troupe, S12 Diamond av.. at which
session the buying of a pasteuriZing
machine was considered. The dealers
assert that as individuals they can
not afford 10 buy a pasteuriZing ma
chine and are considering the propO-
Sition Of clubbing tOgther and buying
one. No definite action was taken by
the dealers.
This meeting was the first since the
meeting of the council committee Of
the whole Tuesday night when the
milk dealers went before that body
and brought strong objection TO the
proposed ordinance providing TO reg
ulate dairies and force all milk TO be
pasteurized. The small dealers con-
tend they see a scheme TO put them
out Of business because the larger
dealers know the small dealers can
not afford the expense that will be
entailed by complying with the law.
The smaller dealers are up in arms
and expect 10 hold another session to
take up the matter Of meeting the
situation.

And if 1t doubtless true that he will continue to go ahead if given fuhtre opportunities for education and self government
 Washington was one of the first to recognize that the negro race was cap- able of better things; that he would
 necome a better man and better citizen if given the opportunity to im- prove himself. Through the years of his busy and useful life he has labor
 ed hard to help them to higher plane
 of existence through the medium of education and has also endeavored to gain them a better recognition from
 the whites upon whom their efforts at advancement so much depend.
 In doing this eommendable service for his people he has won the regard of all with whom he came in contact and at the time of his unfortunate death probably enjoyed the friendship
 of a far greater number of white men
 and women of the highest ranks of
 society than any negro who has lived
 in modern days. Washington was
 what may justly be termed "a great
 character" and will long rank high | among those who have striven unsel- hshly to do something for the advance ment and well being of others. In all
 his efforts he was extremely practical and the keynote of his theory was that the negro must help himself. In other words he must be educated up to the standards of the white or he could never hope to attain and hold place for himself in an alien land and among ln alien people. Owing largely to su perior mental attainments he was able | do a great deal in his chosen field | of labor to which he was naturally | itted by ties of race and blood. In | many respects he was all that some ne has designated him: "The second smancipator of the negro race"
