top, as though the cream were oozing
out.
There are comic opera hats, but they
do not play the comedy role on a wom-
ans head. They are quite attractive.
They need veil. and a good-lOoking
one at that, for wells are back In fash
ion and they may be the forerunners
of gloves.
There are women who always wear
both, and there Is large majority that
avoid both whenever fashion allows
the slightest loophole Of escape. Even
the French forsook wells for four or
five years; but as the weather last
winter demanded that they use every
means of protection to their flesh and
blood, wells came back as a part of
costumery. They at once became orna-
mental and coquettish. They carried
their own collars with them. and they
sometimes seemed to carry the hat,
which they evidently Considered mere
ly trifle on which to rest their own
ornamental selves.
These are the wells that hold good
today. But 1t Is quite probable that
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1918-11-01

they will be discarded when the cold
weather comes by those who will take
up the two leading fashions that have
been revived from two years ago: the
funnel collar that envelopes the neck
the chin and the lobes Of the ears, and
the hat that envelopes the eyebrows
the top of the ears and the upper part
Of the eyelids. What in the name OF
all common sense can veil do be-
tween these two?
Inspiration From the Anzacs.
We like to trace orr present fash.
ions to an immediate inspiration, to
some fantastic or picturesque source
that is part and parcel Of our pres
ent struggle for existence. 1t suits
our mood better than going back to
the dead and gone personages who
probably figure more gloriously in lit
erature than they did in fact.
We hate caps on women. There is
something Of undying coquetry in the
rolling, dashing, spirited headgear as
against the new street suit which is
flecked with an insignia never before
exploited by women-the stars of serv-
ice, the insignia of rank. the colored
departmental bands.
The brims of hats, therefore, are cut
according to romance or shortened ac-
cording to practical ideas, but the
crowns are unusually high. The ma
Jority Of American women have long
faces-it is the racial stamp-and to
such women a high-crowned hat is
never becoming. The French wear 1t
well because they have slender, oval
faces, with pointed chins and delicate
~ painted mouths; but when one puts
the typical French hat of the hour
above the typical American face, with
Its heightened line from high cheek
bone to chin and the long clean-cut
line of the jaw backward to the ear,
then the defects, II defects they are,
stand out in rugged prominence that
Is far from attractive.
The average American face needs a
low-crowned hat, no matter what the
brim. This is fundamental fact that
is provoked by a continental demand !;
1t has nothing to do with the phases
Of fashion. We look our best In width
over the eyes, not height.
Each woman, therefore, must strug-
gle with her own problem I'D this new
deluge bearing down upon us of high
crowns. Some Of them are direct imi-
tations of coaching hats, and others
rise to peak that no Chinaman ever
allowed In the turban upon which we
have patterned some of our new hats.

Repairing Great Wrong.
II must never be forgotten that in re-.
storing sovereignty and independence
to the Czecho-Slovaks we are not Gre
ating anything new, but merely repair
ing great wrong. Few nations have
contributed more to the prosperity and
to the progress of central Europe than
Bohemia whose people were in an ad-
many was region Of boys and of rob-
Der barons.
Their university at Prague, founded
In 1348, Is the oldest seat of learning
east Of the Rhine, and 1t served as u
model Of most of the universities sub
sequently created on the continent.
The Czechs are an ancient race. They
| were flourishing in Bohemia away back
In the fifth century before Christ, and
they have always been noted for their
progressive spirit, for their longings In
the direction of liberalism and demOc-
racy, and above all for their indus
trial and commercial enterprise, thanks
to which they have been for the past
400 years the economic backbone of the
Hapsburg monarchy.
They were independent, and there
fore unfettered, until they foOlishly
elected Emperor Ferdinand of Austria
as their ruler in 1920, not only because
he was married to the daughter and
heiress of their last king of the dynasty
Of st. Wenceslaus, but also because he
solemnly pledged himself to respect
their national rights and liberties.
Needless to add that Ferdinand l fall
ed to keep his promises. This is q
popularity Of the house of Hapsburg.
When he found that his powers, which
were absolute I'm Austria proper, were
restricted In Bohemia he proceeded to
abolish the latter's national privileges
one by one.
Nearly hundred years later the
Czechs, led by their territorial aristoc-
racy, organized revolt against the
despotism Of the Austrian emperor,
Ferdinand H. who had shown himself
far more dangerous and hostile to Bo-
hernia rs an ally than as an open en-
emy The CzechS were defeated in
the memorable battle of the White
Mountain, which marked the end of
the independence of Bohemia as a ma
ton.
Always Oppressed by Teutons.
From that time forth the Czecho-Slo-
walks have been a constant subject Of
oppression and tyranny Of the govern
ments of Vienna and of Pesth, encour-
aged and abetted by the Hohenzollern
dynasty, which has ever seen In
Czecho-Slovak nationalism and eco
nomic Importance an obstacle and a.
barrier to it's openly avowed designs
of extending its sovereignty from Ber-
lin to the Mediterranean, at the head
of the Adriatic. Well nigh every rul-
err of the dual empire has pledged him
self ut one period or another of his
reign to restore to the Czecho- Slovaks
their national independence and their
autonomy on the same footing as Hun
gary and to have himself crowned at
Prague with the crown of st. Wences-
laus and invested with the sceptre, the
orb and the mantle OF that famous rul-
er and patron saint as king Of Boz
hemia. In no case have these promises
been kept, not even by the present
Emperor Charles, who gave an under
taking Of this kind on his accession to
the throne of the dual empire.

fashion in which all should walk II
they would be in the procession, there
is the more genial, broad highway, in
which all types are jostled and min!
gled and call themselves in the fashion
All the hats of the hour are on this
broad highway, and that suits the
majority.
No matter what a woman chooses,
she has some master designer back of
her choice. To begin with fabrics, she
may keep loyal to velvet, or she may
dip into the caprice of the moment as
1t is expressed by angora. braid or
even serge.
She may insist upon satin from now
until next April, and she may choose
1t in any color that harmonizes or cor
responds with her gown. She may feel
inclined to avoid felt, for it is so little
in the picture.
AS for ornamentation, she may adopt
1t IL she likes the idea. If she prefers
simplicity, she has three dozen or more
French hats at her disposal.
If she likes ostrich feathers, she may
join in with the 'Arriets Of London and
buy herself big, thick, curled one,
place 1t on her head, and feel herself
as correctly plumed as was Henri
Quatre. She cannot buy paradise, be-
cause Of q law that Is greater than
that of fashion, but she has plente-
Gus supply of hacked. monkey fur or
goura to take its place. She will also
find that shredded taffeta is considered
as ornamental as dahlias on turban,
and she will soon realize that tooth
brush fringe can be used to flicker over
the surface Of any hat, with good
results.
Question Of Brlms and Crowns.
Suppose she is concerned about the
shape of her hat, and IL she isn't she
should at once take the lesson of first
aid to the ignorant. If her face de-
mands wide brim. let her choose that
shape. and she will find that each mil

suit her fancy.

Green, both of New London. were killed in a rear eI.d collision of freight trains, on the long turnout of the Shore Line Division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railrosd just east of Westbrook, during last night. The early report of the col lision made to the company's operat- ing offices here fails to mention the cause. Railroad officers are making an inquiry.
 AbGut the time a shap electl ical storm was sweeping through the Say brook Junction section which is near the mouth of the Connecticut river. l The storm did not reach this city and was only indicated by lightning flashes in a bank of clouds in the northern sky.
 The railroad report shows that O. P. freight from Maybrook to Provi- l dence passed Westbrook at 9:26 D. m. followed by N. M. 10 freight from New Haven to Midway at 9:39 on the same track. The collision of the lat ter with the former was between Westbrook and Saybrook Junction The engine of N.

Penna R. R., Armour
 and Swift Indicted

New York, Aug 6.---The Pennsyl- vania Railroad company, Armour & Co., and Swift & Co. were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury yesterday on charges of violating the interstate commerce laws, which forbid the giv- Ing or accepting of freight rebates.
 The transactions involved, as stated in two indictments, are decidedly more complicated than the mere giving of cash reductions by a railroad to fa- vored shippers.
 The Pennsylvania railroad is all legged to have turned over the Harsi- mus Stock Yards property at the foot of Sixth street, Jersey City, to Ar. mour & Go. and Swift & Co. for one- fourth it's true rental value. The packers are alleged to have collected big dividends on the operation of the yards, and in addition to have been placed by mere possession of the fa- cilities they afforded in a position of advantage over other packers
 In exchange for the possession of the Harsimus yards on exceedingly favorable terms, the packers are al- legged to have shipped all their live stock sent from Chicago, Omaha, East St. Louis and other places to New York over the Pennsylvania lines tc the loss of the New York Central and Lehigh Valley railroads, which had previously had this business.
 | One of the indictments fixes the saving to the packers through theil possession of the Harsimus yards al $300,000 in the three years precedine the finding of the indictment. Tn governments figures indicate that the packers have saved $750,00O in this manner in the six years in which tht alleged conspiracy has been effective
