BUT HOW CAN WE FIND A REM
EDY?

A young man, good friend of ours,
recently visited the picture show, hav-
ing paid his good dime to see the pic
lures. But he is out of pocket ten
cents and, while an interesting pic
ture was thrown upon the screen, our
young friend failed to see the picture
He tried honestly enough, but his ef-
forts were unavailing. "Blind?", you
say. Not so. Nor is he dumb, nor is
he deaf He has two good eyes, two
good ears and a mind of more than
ordinary intelligence, but in spite of
all his gifts and his honest effort to
see, he could not; and finally left the
place in disgust. What was the mat
ter? Nothing more than frequently
happens to one at any private gather
ing; his view was obstructed by big
hats-big ladies' hats-that is, the
hats were large, not the ladies, for it
frequently transpires that the smaller
the lady, the bigger the hat she dons.
1t is something amusing to see one
of these big hats float in like a ship
in full sail, deliberately cast anchor
just in front of you and seem to say:
"See me; it's worth ten cents" The
only trouble about it is that one may
visit millinery store and see a dozen
without charge. 1t is also possible for
one to take his stand on the street
corner and view these shi ps as they
navigate our streets. This is not so
bad, especially when the commodious
ships frequently carry a pretty face.
But who cares to be confronted with
a mountain of feathers, felt, straw,
ribbon and banners when beyond these
creations of the milliner is the object
one desires to see, has paid good
money to see. And the unconcern OF
the dear ladies' The utter indiffer-
ence they manifest in the matter! 1t
is something amazing and so amaz-
ingly selfish. We do not hope to bring
about a reform in this matter, but
merely register the complaint 1t is
dangerous thing to meddle with
woman's headgear. If she wishes to
put mighty ship on her head and
come to anchor just in front of your
range of vision, you must stand it.
Be gentleman and jump to give up
your seat to the ladies', accept the
blocked range of vision and keep your
tongue turned to say pleasant things.
But it is big job to do this, little as
one may think of it. We respectfully
CD suggest to our Lawmakers the
wisdom of passing law limiting the
diameter Of ladies' hats to one yard.
That would help little. They might,
while they are at it, limit the length
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-02-11

and number of feathers, yards of lace
and ribbon to some reasonable num-
ber, say one hundred feathers and a
thousand yards of ribbon. That might
help some, but we do not feel very
confident of it.

A STRIKING OBJECT LESSON.
Today as an Argument for Later
Inaugural Date.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1 would like respectfully to call your
attention to the fact that the elements
are today giving another effective
demonstration of the folly of inaugu-
rating the President of the United
States during the period covered by the
4th of March.
1 entertained some friends from out
Of town yesterday. and we came to
thorough realization Of the unwisdom
Of further subjecting patriotic Ameri-
cans to the rigors of an unreasonable
inaugural
The entire city was yesterday cover
ed with mantle of icy snow. and this
morning we find the thermometer reg
istering fourteen degrees above zero.
Were this the day of a presidential
very serious results that would come
from the congregation of men and
women on Pennsylvania avenue to wit
ness the inaugural parade, and of the
endure, thousands of whom would be
in line or waiting for hours for the
parade to start.
AS 1 came from my home. where the
thermometer was registering fourteen
degrees above zero, as stated, l won
dered how long Congress would wait
to take the much needed action to set
the inaugural date on the last Thurs
day in April as suggested. Is it posi-
BILE that the Congress will delay this
action until the death rate from unsea-
sonable inaugural days is so large that
by the extent of human devastation the
country will rise en- masse? / do not
think that Congress desires or should
need any further demonstration than
the elements themselves have given
year by year.
The last Thursday in April is always
balmy, and the worst that could hap
pen on that day would be a rainstorm,
but in balmy weather that has no ter
rors. WILLIAM F. GUIDE.

APPENDICES TO GERMAN
MEMORANDUM ON WAY
Secretary Lansing Says Armed Ship
Information Is Due at New
York Tomorrow.

Secretary Lansing announced today
that the appendices to the German
memorandum regarding armed mer-
chant ships were on board the steam
ship Rotterdam, due tomorrow in New
York
Secretary Lansings announcement
was based on cablegram from Am
bassador Page at London. The appen-
dices contain Photographic copies of
what the German government con-
tends are confidential instructions to
commanders of British merchant ships
armed for defensive purposes to at
tack submarines.
Upon those instructions Germany
based her declaration of Intentions to
treat as warships armed merchant
ships of her enemies.
The attitude of the State Department
toward the German declaration will be
definitely determined after officials
have had an opportunity to study the
appendices.

At the request of Maj. Gen. H. l.

rotary of War ad interim, the Attorney
General has been asked for an opinion
as to whether the vacancy in the office
of Secretary of War. caused by the

filled temporarily beyond the period of
thirty days specified in section $50 Re-

The fact that the Department of Jus
