The. soft felt hats which constitute the most distinguishing feature of the American soldiers uniform are, made from rabbit skins Net American ral1- bit skins. however, for the fur frthe American rabbit will not make hats. It does not possess the necessary feit- ing properties. Consequently the skii5s have to be imported from .abroae. mostly from Australia. IL has takep 36000,000 rabbit skins 10 make the hats now being worn by tlle huge UnitN ed States army Since the war begnh Uncle Sam hns bought 6o00.oO6. .AatSs and each hat contains the fur of six rabbits. In other words, every A1neFt ican soldier is going about with half dozen bunntes on the top of his head. Each hat costs the American govern nient $1.75. This is wholesale price The ordinary retail price of stnTfiur hats is $4. The reason why these hats ares SO expensive $ that not only. the rabbit skins but practically all the other material that goes into them is imported from abroad. Thus the raw silk for the bands comes from ChinG and Japan. and the shellac which gtif- fens the brim comes from India E.

The horse was shot to relieve the animals suffering Where the accident happened the ce- ment pavement was smeared with blood, both men being severely cut
 She statements made by, those who saw the mishap vary. It is evident however, that the New York car was going at high speed down grade, and marks of the wheels on the pavement showed that the car went ninety feet after the brakes were applied before blood stains on the concrete highway were s1 feet from the point where the brakes were applied. The collision took place at this point.
 It is presumed that the fish cart was on the left. instead of on the right side of the road. and had started to get to the other side when the crash came. The chauffeur as shown in the wheel tracks. drove to the extreme right side of the highway. the two side wheels going off the pavement i'm to the dirt. The brakes were applied The chauffeur realizing that he could not go to the right of the fish wagon shot off to the left Tn so doing the car sideswiped the horse and wagon with terrific force.
 The horse was knocked off the pave ment on the right in the direction of Stonington, and Slocum and Knowles were thrown to the left. Only the shafts of the wagon were broken. The touring car was but slightly damaged
