time since graduating.
Capt. e. p. Webb, post adjutant and

pellers, causing Major Gearhart to lose
control temporarily. The plane shot to
the ground and Major Gearhart was
thrown from his seat, striking on his
face and shoulders. Captain Webb was
pinned beneath the wreckage. the en-

WHY DO Men WEAR HATS7
Really, When You Como to Think Of
Ii, fhey Are Of Little Use and
Not Ornamental.

Men themselves do not know why
they wear hats. Hats aren't ornamen
tai. They do not keep Off the rain. A
mans hat Is legacy Of tradition, bru.
talized In it's descent from the age of
adornment. Straw hats are the least
awful.
The derby, the iron lid Of common
phraseology. ia a tragedy, and the silk
hat Is useful only to lend dignity to
men who otherwise might be undigni.
fed. This dignity Is traditional rather
than real. Bridegrooms undertakers
and members Of congress need all the
dignity they can command. So they
keep the silk hat handy.
Spring, which brings the straw hat,
is welcomed by men, since It removes
the hideous necessity Of wearing other
sorts Of hats. Tho straw hat r0uses a
dim memory in the blood Of the days
Of garlands. 1t may be worn with q
bright band. On the whole, It makes
life a little easier for those who
haven't the courage to 60 without hats

The Christmas Roll-Can.

AS has been before mentioned, the
week of December 16 to 90 has been
set aside by the American Red cross
for the Universal Membership Cam
paign." This will be in the nature OF
roll-call, and will give every adult
person all opportunity to add his or
her name to the Red Cross list. One
dollar will be asked from each per-
son, and let us hope that there will
be noLe to refuse this small dona-
tion. The fact that you may already
be member of the Red Cross does
not exempt you from this Christmas
roll-call.
The Anti-tuberculosis League is
working in cooperation with the Red
Cross this year. and forty per cent
OF the receipts from the roll-call will
be given to the league for the fight
against the dread disease, tuberculo-
SIS, which has ravaged the homes OF
SO many of our soldiers. Examina
tions for the American army have
disclosed vast number OF consump-
t1Ves hitherto unsuspected.
Heretofore Red Cross Seals have
been sold, forty per cent of the pro-
ceeds going toward the fight against
tuberculosis. This year no seals will
ne sold, but a vast quantity of them
have been distributed to the different
Red Cross Chapters, and these will
be given, ten seals. to each person

are called on. There is no better
cause to which we could contribute,
and dollar Is very little to, give to-
ward helping the work Of relief for
our boys who went out so cheerfnlly
and bravely to fight the foe, and go
make the world safe for posterity.
