Prohibition No Experiment.

Spokane, Wash, Chronicle: To talk
about prohibition as an "experiment"
is to talk in the language of half a
cen fury ago. 1t is to expose astonIsh-
ing ignorance of world progress. Pro
hibition has long since ceased to he
an experiment. 1t has been deliberate
ly adopted by more than half of The
nation. It has left only a reluctant
minority of the states still wet I'VE
have got to put all the smash and
t,rive we have into this war; we have
to fight, fight and still fight, with
every muscle straining," M. Hurley
periodically declares. Well and good.
And the way to put smash and drive
into this war is to bake and not brew
with our grain, haul food and not
drink on our trains, build ships and
not kegs with our lumber and leave
every worker clear of brain and
steady of hand for the gigantic tasks
that await the nation.

gentlemen sin retains the shape Of its
great-great-g the porcelain
hat. The mourner's costume in Korea Is
also result Of queer customs; it is Of
crash, with an enormous basket like
hat and face-shield of crash on two
sticks, to be held in either hand. No
gentleman who wishes to retain the
respect Of the community will permit
himself to be seen on the street with
out his face being shielded during the
period of mourning. In the case Of
a father, believe a dutiful and loving
son wears this garb of mourning for
three years; in the case of brother, I
think it is two years; for mother or
wife, one year and for mother-in-law
regret to say that have never found
any record of this costume being worn.
There is probably no more pecu-
liar or useless hat In all the world
than the hats worn by the Parsees in
India and certainly no form of head
gear so intimately associated with the
very history of a race Of people This
hat of the Parsees is brimless stiff,
oil-cloth Creation, black and shiny
and dotted with gold spots; It is the
very last style of hat one would choose
to wear as protection against the
broiling sun of India. This shadeless,
honely. black hat, made in the shape
Of the hoof Of the sacred cow Of India,
was forced upon the Parsees by the
Hindoos, when some 1900 years ago

The delightful custom Of decorating
the heads, necks and shoulders OF ar
irving and departing guests probably
obtained in the hospitable islands Of
the Hawaiian group for many hum
dreds Of years before the original
Captain Cook-not the arctic explorer
discovered this paradise of the Pa
cifc. Even today wonderful garlands
Of flowers intertwined into solid ropes
Of floral beauty called '1eis" are
wound around the hats or nechs OF
guests to typify the all enveloptng well
come Of Hawaiian hospitality. Even
more beautiful and far more lasting
are the wreaths or lefs made from the
plumage of marvelousiy beautiful trcp-
ic birds, sometimes from the feathers
Of a peacock. These are often worn
permanently on the hats Of native gen
tlemen or resident Americans.

have to be ''man-milliner" also to

while cannot subscribe to this senh-
ment in toto,-havfng seen a large
number of Men with capital 'M'D

strangers to any form of sartorial

that what a man weurs on his head,

a very important figure to the -photog-
