Where are all the Derby hats OF
yesterday? Why do only few men
wear them any more?
Blame is on the seductive soft hat
Blame it on motor cars, which dc
not agree with Derbies CT high hats
A man under a derby in motor cal
going more than three miles an
hour looks as incongruous as Derby
wearer, coat off and cigar between
his teeth, padding a canoe.
Blame it on the seductive sole hat
sound flippant, but it isn't. The wa,
has done a great deal to popularize
the soft hat. Look into the widows
showing summer styles for men and
note the military lines and names
Note the wide brims, the absence OF
conspicuous bands, the trim touch
that suggests training and discip,
line.
"The soft hat has passed through
many freak styles and experiments
said a haberdasher. Its comfort il
it's first quality. 1t conforms easily
to the head, is light in weight, and
isn't badly hurt if it happens to be
stepped or sat on or run over in the
street."

BOURBON COUNTY HORSE WINS
MONTGOMERY DERBY.

Clare, a Bourbon county horse,
owned by Mr. Kenney Nichols, of
Paris, landed the Montgomery Derby,
the premier racing event at the Mt.
Sterling Fair, which opened Wednes-
day. The track was heavy, following
a heavy rain. Irish gentleman took
second place, and Mary H. third.
The race was for $500 purse.
The fair began with good crowd
and good prospects, but heavy rain
in the afternoon caused the post
ponement of the 1928 pacing race I'M
til Thursday. The 2:20 trot was
called off.
The half-mile running race was
won by Miss MINI, owned by James
H. Baker, of Lexington. Tom Man
son, owned by ]. M. Hubbard, of Lou
isville, was second and Nancy Clancy,
owned by John Bradley, of Lexing-
ton, was third. Time, 10A
Dengro, owned by Mrs. ]. M. Hub
bard, of Louisville, led the field for
the three-quartes but bolted, losing
the race. The time was 1:57 for mile
and one-eighth.
Bourbon county was represented
by a large delegation of horsemen
and others interested in fairs and
their attractions.

MAKE EN- BE CAREFUL.

At certain hours in the business
districts of Paris a person standing
on the sidewalks or walking along
them is apt to be run into into and
injured by some careless boys who
persist in using the pavements as
speedways for their bicycles. These
boys have neither bells, or horns or
lights on their machines, in spite of
the city ordinance prescribing use of
same
Then, when they have been forced
out into the streets by bicycle rid
ers, they are liable to be run over by
the speedomaniacs who think the pc
destrian has absolutely no right at
all on earth. Careful drivers obey
the laws, and show some considera-
ton for the poor mortal whose bus
mess compels him to occasionally
take his life in his hands and en-
deavor to cross the street at a cor
ner. Others are not so considerable.
They will sound their warning horns,
yet not slack one iota of the break
neck speed at which they may be
driving.
Bicycle riders caught riding their
wheels day or night without warning
bells or lights, or who ride on the
sidewalks of the city in violation of
the express provisions of the ordi-
nance forbidding such, should be
taught lesson, irrespective of their
age, color, sex, or station in life.
Complaints have been made of deliv-
cry boys and others who persist in
riding wheels without having warn
ing bells or horns or lights attach,
ed, and it is a wonder that serious
accidents have been averted so long.
Stick on some stiff fines for some
have any effect. Will it?

CAN'T DISMISS THEM.

Nurses employed by the various
counties of the State have no author
ity to send children from school
when they are found to have infec-
tious or contagious diseases. This
authority is vested in the county
health officers. Numerous complaints
have been made to State Superintend-
ent Gilbert that nurses in several
counties of the State have dismissed
children from school when found to
have infectious or contagious dis
eases. Supt. Gilbert is willing to CO.
operate with the health officers in
dismissing such children from school,
but intends to stop nurses from fol-
lowing this practice.

HEAVY HAIL DAMAGES CORN
AND TOBACCO.

Hail is reported to have done
thousands of dollars worth of dam
age in Clark county during the past
few days and C. B. Stewart, of Win
chester, underwriters and adjustors
for Clark county has received infor-
nation of the destruction of tobacco
and other crops. AL Duckworth had
a crop of tobacco on his farm near
Thompson Station ruined by hail last
Friday night and that of James
Swope on the Thompson place in the
same neighborhood was also almost
completely destroyed.
A big crop of tobacco in the Els
condida vicinity, owned by Jones &
Fluffy, of Winchester, was ruined by
the hail. Crops on the farms of
James o. Evans, on the Pretty Run
pike, and Nelson Mason, who had a
crop we'll up on his place near North
Middletown, were destroyed. In the
Wades Mill vicinity big crop on the
farm of Mr.. Laban Cockrell was rid
died by the hail.
The Cynthiana Democrat says:
'Mr. Will Sandy was here yesterday
adjusting losses on tobacco from hail.
He says hail has done much damage
in Bourbon county and considerable
damage in the northern edge of Har-
rison. The rest of Harrison county

The use of poisonous gases in mod
ern warfare has become so much the
rule, since the practice was incepted
by the Germans in April, 1915, that a
gas mask is invariably part Of the
equipment of the man at the front.
The American gas mask is said to
combine the best features of the Ger
man and English, and to be absolute
ly proof against gases for period
of 10 hours. The breath is drawn
through a mouth tube, passing
through a canister of chemicals
which neutralize the gases. A clamp
prevents the man from breathing
through the nose, so that all the in
hailed air must pass through the can
lister. Some of the trench masks are
much simpler than this, notably one
of the French types, which consists
simply of cloth saturated in chem
icals drawn over the head, through
which the soldier breathes, either
with nose or mouth at will.
