WAR INCREASES
SIZE Of HEADS
Hatters Say Demand Is for
Larger Head Covering
Since Struggle.

London. Eng, June 2L-Are mems

This is a question which manufac-
turers Of hats are asking Just now,
for the orders which are coming
through at present reveal a rather
surprising increase in sizes. The
standard sizes formerly were ssz. s%,
sz. but now these are by no means
popular.
Instead. the majority Of hats are
made in sizes from sS to rs. with
alarger number than ever Of ia

Manufacturers are inclined to the
belief that this change is an outcome
OF the war. One halter said he had

on the western front had caused mems
heads TO swell a little. 1t has been
proved that men suffering from shell
shock, after leaving hospital, could

were taken to hospital.
Another reason might be that in the
army a soldier wears a cap which viii

Irish Sim Feiners
Join Organized Labor

Dublin. Ireland. June 1.-The so
called siege OF Limerick revealed
two outstanding factors which have
strengthened the hand OF the Sim
Fein.
One thing was the Strengthening
OF alliance Between the Sim Fem
Organization and organized labor: the
other. the Development Of a closer
support by tie church.
The statement issued by the meet
ing Of the Roman Catholic bIsnop and
clergy of the CITY considerably
strengthened the attitude of the
strike leaders. This statement resent
ed the imposition Of military law as
unTarranted and provocative.
Bishop Mailman. who succeeded the
famous bishop Dwyer about a year
ago, has shown strong Sim Fein
sympathies and has issued several
manifestoes Of a distinctly anti-Brit-
ish- character.
