SILK TOP PIECE ONCE
MORE IS In FAVOR

l-ondon.-Quite within memory
the high hat reiEned supreme;
practically IT, was the only hat
worn by every man, from prince
TO piowman. Cricketers played in
if. boating men wore it on the
river. sportsmen on the moors and
holiday-makers on the sands OF
Margate and Ramsgate.
An interesting and convincing
proof Of its universality is seen in
the well-known print of the prize
fight between Sayers and Heenan in
1850. Everyone in>the crowd wears
a topper Of the chimney-pot pattern
except the members OF the fancy
acting as ring-keepers. who wear
caps. Now, after having been tenn
porarily obscured by the war, il is
coming into its own once more.

CHARGES FOOD PRICES
ARE WIPING OUT HOME

New York. Aug. 2.-Reduce the

down automatically. according to
leaders of the Housewives League.
Wheat and corn are the funda-
mentals," Mrs. Julian Heath. presi-
dent of the league, said today.
Wheat is high because of the gov
,ernment's $4,000 900 subsidy to
guarantee s2.26 a busheI for this
years crop. Corn is sympathetically
high, and meat and dairy product
prices soar correspondingly, since
their production depends on grain.
But the government should protect
the consumer as well as the pro-
ducer. Henceforth. the Housewives
League will oppose all Investigations
