Panama Hats.

Panama hats are made from the I'M
expanded leaves Of the stemless screw
pine (carludovica palmato), native
of Central America and Colombia.
After special treatment to remove the
soft part of the leaf, the fiber is soaked
to render 1t pliable and the weaving
is done under water. The hats most
valuable are made from single leaves.
The plant from which the hats are
made has been introduced into Java,
while experiments for it's introduction
into the Philippines have also been
made, as the Filipinos are expert hat
makers.

such circuitous routes that they con-

course. The unnecessary distance
Travelled and the unnecessary time

in continuous use would carry about
double the number Of passengers
without additional time or cost.
Whether the managers can manage
or not will not be determined by in
creasing the fares, because no increase
of fare can be made which will in
crease appreciably the earnings of this
road. If you establish a zone system,
and double the fare one-third of the
passengers would be lost by taking
other means of transit, especially the
jltnles. unless. as heretofore, thepublic
Utilities Commission should forbid
the fire edom of the city in carrying
her passengers Those who understand
the economic law and understand why
this most wonderful and extensive
means of transportation has been so
successful will not take their refuge
in raising fares. but they will seek to
advance the original remedy which
make the popular fare possible and
initiate the example of the great wise
men and captains of industry who
built up these great systems.
To raise fares or guarantee divi-
dends would be to encourage that al
most unbelievable inefficiency already
so apparent. If it was proposed to
increase the fare from cents to
rs cents anybody can see that the
system would be destroyed. 1t is
cheapness and efficiency which the
people require and which the sys-
