lie Early FaII Hat

MEN who criticise women for wear
lfi ing velvet hats in July and straw
hats IN February. never take into
consideration one important fact
that towards the end OF the season
clothes begin TO lose their freshness,
and advance season hats do nothing
more than brighten ones appearance
and satisfy the very human craving
for variety
A summer hat at the end OF the
summer Is apt 20 be rather sad in

a woman who can afford as many
hats as she wants. II isn't that the
hat itself may be weather worn; it's
only that as-er a few months were

combination OF a black velvet and

One OF the Wisest choices for an
early fall hat Is light colorsd felt
This goes very well with either a
silk or a cloth suit or with almost

New Mexico Politics

LOT is New MezieOs state politics. With the Albu-

the Albuquerque Journal calling the Albuquerque Herald
the tool Of the bosses and with Gov LarrazOlo himself
daring his opponents into the open with their op

paign can't be accused Of being monotonous
The real and only issue In which the public is directly
interested is the governors record during his present term
Has he been conscientious? Has he been fsir7 Has he
been economical and yet progressive? On the to
these questions should depend his future political fortunes
Unfortunately the fight his enemies making against his
