Hats are Handsomer
Than Ever

The increased importation OF for
eign hats since the war has a great
influence in the more dashing styl-
| ing of ment hats than ever before.
Not that our American hats have
not been adequate to all require
ments of quality and impressiveness,
but the introduction of foreign hats
seems to have whetted the desire for
richer effects and the American de-
signers have been quick to respond.
The hats from France, Italy, Eng
land and other foreign markets as
sert their attractions more from a
standpoint of fabric elegance rather
than from any novelty note in the
styling. The hats employed are rich
in color tones, soft in textures and
lustrous in their silky finishes. How
ever, the novelty mixtures that are
most popular are Of our own domes-
tic make and these have contributed
much to the identifying of mems
hats. -
There is not quite as much dash
in the spring shapes as heretofore.
The keynote is more toward sedate
proportions. In the soft hats as we'll
as the derbies it is noted that the
brims are narrower and the crowns
lower almost to degree Of squatti-
ness. because there is decided
"curl up to the brims that empha-
size this effect.
The broad army, sombrero and
cavalry effects are not as high in the
vogue this season, but what the hats
lack in dash are more than compen-
stated for in texture tones.
Rich, solid collars in soft hats
dominate the styles and next to these
are the two-tone scratch mixtures,
silk mixtures and blended mixtures.
Beavers and velours are primarily
fall and winter mats SO Dut rev are
noticed in the spring styles.
In the derbies the shapes are as
described above and but few colored
deerbies are shown. Some grays and
tans are offered in Homburg shapes
for older men.
Wool hats in patterned fabrics of
tweeds and cassimeres are shown to
some degree. These are in small pat
Jennings and heather mixtures. For
the present they are more popular
abroad than over here and the best
effects are Of English make.
In caps there is nothing radically
new. The golf styles are more popu-
lar than the full crown effects of
year ago.

Germany Now on
Verge of Civil War

Berlin.--Fifteen persons were killed
and 100 wounded In violent clashes
between strikers and police at Frank
fort on Main, Sunday. The strikers
proved victorious after an all-day bat
tie and drove the police out Of town,

main arms depot.
Similar clashes occurred in other
big industrial centers. A general
strike has been called, besides in
Frankfort, in Nuremberg, Magdeburg,
Breslau and throughout the Rhenish
Westphalian mining districts.
No disturbances took place In Der.
lin. The Prussian eagle emblem also
is flying from all official buildings in
Berlin and has been hoisted over TIE
stacks of arms belonging to the Luett.
witz army.
Minister of Defense Luettwitx H.
sued this statement:
THE revolution is the consequence
of the non-fulfilment of promises by
the Ebert government and the neglect
of the Bolshevist menace.
"A German army of 100000 Is not
sufficient to fight Bolshevism. The
government will resort to military
force in Germany only as last refuge.
I'VE wish to maintain good under
standing with the entente, If that be
reconcilable with German honor"

methods of the Knapp government of
making Prussia once more the center
of struggle for the restoration of kais-
erism, is reported combining and or
ganizing to fight the junkerist revOlu-
ton to the death.
So swift and sudden was the over
throw of the Ebert regime that for
fully twenty-fOur hours the mass OF
the German people We're too stunned
to take sides and to act; but early
Sunday the long-suppressed passions
of the populace began to flare up with
all the greater force and the issues
assumed concrete form. Hundreds of
thousands of workers throughout the
nation determined to heed Ebert's APP
peal for a nationwide strike in pro-
test against the return of mlitarlsm.
while at the same time the majority
of the troops, long chatting under the
Socialist rule, made known their thick
and-thin loyalty to the new regime,
which embodies all the pomp and lus-
ter of the one-time imperial army.

Good Hats Are Hard
To Obtain

It's the old story-blame it on the
women. Manufacturing hatters say
that the scarcity and high prices of
matters furs is due to the prevailing
vogue for fur trimmings that pre-
walls among makers Of coats and
suits for women. Hat prices are very
high and still climbing. Govern
ment investigators have audited the
cost accounts of the biggest hat max
ers and freely declare that prices are
reasonable in view of material and
labor costs. Standard hats selling
for spring for $500 and upwards will
sell during the coming fall at $12
to $25. Hat men state that even
at present prices standard makes are
cheaper to the consumer than infer
ior hats which utterly fail to stand
up under the test of moderate SER
vice.
Spring showing of hats for little
lads offer a wide range of choice in
both shades and shapes. The wool
and pile fabrics are better adapted
to early season wear but with the
coming Of warmer days hats Of light
er materials will be chosen for wear.
with the distinctively new models
and shades in wash suits which will
be shown by the better shops.

COX NOMINATED.

The nomination of Governor Cox of
Ohio for the presidency at the San
Francisco convention of the demo-
Gratis seems to be quite satisfactory
to the democrats of this community,
though there were many whose first
choice was McAdoo. The conven-
ton was perhaps the longest and
hardest fought in the history of the
party, lasting from Monday, June 2S,
to Tuesday morning, July 6, before
the nomination was made, and then
requiring another session for the
naming of running mate, or candi-
date for vice-president. The plat
form of the party is like all plat
forms-more or less of straddle.
but it was written in conformity with
the wishes of President Wilson in
most respects. The President, it was
said, was in favor of a clean-cut dec
laration on the matter of the Vol
stead enforcement law, and in favor
of light wines and beer; but this re-
port it appears is mere newspaper
gossip. The platform is silent on the
matter.
According to the news dispatches,
Mr.. Bryan regards Governor Cox as
"wet." If he is this does not mean,
in case of his election, and the cleo
ton of congress of the same poll
teal color, that there will be a re-
turn of the saloons nor a repeal of
the 18th amendment, but we take It
that it does mean that there will be
amendment of the Volstead law, per-
hitting the use of light wines and
beer instead of the present regula-
tons which are unsatisfactory to a
great majority of the people of the
nation.
The national campaign will be an
interesting one. The candidates fol
president of both the great parties
are Ohioans, both eminent men, eacl
holding one of the highest offices
within the gift of the people of that
state, both inclined to be liberal
minded yet conservative. The part,
platforms, party accomplishments
and party traditions mark the prin.
cipal differences and will have to be
the basis of ones choice.

THE "KEPT PRESS"

Though there has been much tall
in radical American newspapers an
periodicals about "the kept press"
the nearest approach to kept press
that we have in this country is those
same radical newspapers and period
icals. They are owned, financed and
their deficits are met by small class
and racial groups with economic
pans that are either confiscatory or
that seek special privilege at the ex-
pense of the larger public-in short,
group of new Interests" Their
news is colored and their editorials
are dictated by leaders whose sole
aim is to put over their disorganizing
scheme on the country.
It is a favorite dust throwing fic-
ton of these papers that the press of
the country is owned by "the inter-
ests" though they all know that 70
comply with federal statute every
newspaper and periodical must print
list of its real owners twice year.
1t is no doubt true that some news
papers are owned either directly "
| indirectly bp "the interests" or some
one interested in "the interests" it
is possible that some are controlled
through advertising, but they are not
the great influential journals of the
country
Laymen have very vague ideas
about advertising, and few of them
understand that it is a commodity
sold on its merits, like steel. with
just as concrete and definite value.
and that our leading journals exer-
else a careful censorship over their
columns and refuse business #
doubtful quality. Many of them
could print twice as much advertis-
ing as they do if their standards
were lower.
The business men who advertise in
the leading journals understand per-
fectly that there is nothing for sale
in them except their advertising col
umns, and those only under restric-
tons. They no more expect that the
views of such publication on the
trusts or anything else will be thrown
in for good measure with an order
for space than they expect to buy the
views of a manufacturer on the uues-
tons of the day with an order for
carload of flour or pork.
The public should understand that
there are in this country today new
and quite influential interests as the
cd ones that sought special privilege
and special legislation from city.
state and national governments.
These groups, tightly organized
along class lines, some of them with
an absolutely controlled press. seek
selfish advantage for themselves Il
the expense of the general public.
We can not see how the country will
be any better off if one of these
groups, comprising 100000 members

NO BORROWED TINE.

Seattle P.-I.: Seattle has an or
ganization of men and women who
have passed the age of seventy. IT
is called the Borrowed Time Club
This is not altogether happy title
1t confesses infringement of the Bib
Ideal edict that the Appropriate period
of life is three score and ten years,
instead of repudiating it as the pa
triarchs of old should have done. No
person who is living beyond seventy
is borrowing time; he is only using
what is his by right. If he lives to
the age of 100 he will have borrowed
no time because he will have earned
1T by his habits, the care of his body
the composure of his mind. Taking
Our Time would be a more appropri-
ate title for the organization, for that
states the fact.
There is need of nation wide dem
onstration, of revolt on the part of
the so-called aged, to show the
Younger generations that one may
carry beyond the seventy-year mark
virile body a vigorous mind, an I'M
diminished zest based upon whole
some apprehension of what is most
worth striving for. The surrender of
those who have reached the age of
seventy to the idea that it is appro-
pirate for them to retreat out of the
activities of the world and leave its
affairs to the younger, is pathetic
and reprehensible. Half or more of
the senility in the world may be
traced to unresisting yielding to a fic-
tion that years are the measure of
age; half of the aged men and wom-
en- in the world could be impeached
for bringing upon themselves by con-
sent the infrmities which set upon
them the marks of decline. Instead
of lodging the scythe of Time they
stand resignedly in the grim old
reaper's path. He cannot be blamed
for cutting them down.
The sound constitution is not as
essential as the courageous mind.

THE HAM THAT COST TOO
MUCH.

Spokesman-R Review: There is now
at least one instance on record of a
profiteer being foiled by process of
law. One hastens to add that neither
the Lever act nor A. Mitchell Palm
er was responsible
Last Christmas wealthy gentle
man in New York sent out to a deli
catessen shop for baked ham. At
ter the ham had gone the way of all
Christmas dainties he received the
bill, which was for S25. The weight
of the ham had not been to exceed
eight pounds, although to be sure it
had been very nicely cooked, with
cloves stuck in all round the peri
phery.
The gentleman refused to pay the
bill, and the delcatessen man
brought suit. Much interesting evil
dence was adduced regarding the cost
of baking ham and the prohibitive
cost of cloves. with the usual myster-
iouS iltHlS VI ONeTHedu anu margin
of net profit. The jury decided sl4
was fair market price for ham.
The dealer appealed The appel
ate court affirmed the verdict with
out opinion. Then it went to the
supreme court of New York. This
court affirmed the judgment and as
sessed the dealer s25 additional
costs. He had already been charged
s15 costs in the lower court. So he
gets s14 for the ham and has to pay
$40 in addition to fees of counsel.
Anti-profiteer crusaders should
take heart from this outcome. BY
refusing to pay exorbitant bills and
being consequently sued, they can
get their cases before juries, and
juries are quite likely to look sym
pathetically upon the tribulations of
the ultimate consumer.

SURPLUS HARVEST LABOR IN
OKLAHOMA.

Spokesman-Review: A news dis
patch from Ponca City, Okla, indi-
Gates the way in which the wage
schedule, if lifted economically too
high, recoils on the workers, the very
people who are supposed to be bene-
flied. Oklahoma is reported to be
surfeited with labor. "There are
three men for every job in the har-
vest field"
The explanation follows that the
farmers are employing the fewest
men possible. They are doing the
work with members of their own fam
lilies. Wives and daughters are run
ming tractors, driving teams and
handling self-bnders. This enables
many farmers to get along with only
one outside helper
This simply means that harvest
wages have been lifted to a point
where they are enticing the women
members of the farmers families.
and large numbers of workers, after
spending money to get into the har-
vest region, are standing around, on
expense and without employment
Before long these men will have to
turn elsewhere in search of employ
ment. They will then begin to com
pete with others in the labor market
1t may later turn out that this con-
dition in the harvest regions was the
entering edge that broke the labor
market in other industries.
