Expensive Headqear.

For centuries in Mexico and other
Spanish-speaking countries the hat has
been the object of mans vanity. The
custom found it's origin In the days
when the Hapsburg power was SUI
preme. One Of the most cherished
privileges which the old grandees en-.
joyed was that of wearing their hats
In the presence Of royalty. The alb
solute power Of the monarch left them
little else to do but enter into rivalry
with one another in the splendor Of
their head coverings. The gay con-
ceits spread rapidly throughout the
Spanish dominions, and even today
Characteristic sugar-loaf hats may be
found in Mexico for sale ut the as
founding price Of from $500 to- 81 900
for single hat.

!TWirIinq-Arms Dance.

Many new dances were shown at
the dancing congress in Paris recent
ly. Most Of them, however, appeared
to lack originality. An exception is
the "Tchega," which is danced to the
strains Of Hindoo music. The "Tche-
ga" would never, meet with the mp
prevail of the British dancing masters,
as 1t is most unsuitable for the English
bathrooms. 1t consists of fantastic
movements In which the arms are
twirled round the head while the
dancer performs short hesitation.

Arrived at the spot where Cameron
had shown the white feather, accord

Presently he was back. Again he
jumped. Suzanne. ready to take back
all she had ever said, was sllenced by
the look on his face when he returned.
Again he leaped. This time he did not
come back SO quickly-in fact, he did

repentance. Like the very deer that
she had often startled In the forest,
the girl sped back to the Lodge for
help.
A week later Cameron, limping
slightly. walked on the sunny south
veranda Of the Lodge. Beside him was
Suzanne. Suddenly she halted him,
soft hand laid gently on his arm.
Cameron" she said, don't you like
me?"
Cameron shut his lips. Then, Every
one does that, Sue," he said casually.
Even as he had resolved to marry no
one who thought him coward, no less
would he have anything to do with
this girl, moved temporarily by pity
and feeling that she was rather re-
sponsible for the accident.

"FOrglve me, dear" said Sue humbly.
"And forget that 1 asked you what you

"You only availed yourself of your

"When we do 1t together" whispered

The Naval Academy at Annapolis
Maryland, From Which the Young
Naval Officer Begins His Travels

Last week over two thousand young,
red-blooded American boys COM
,nenced their studies at Annapolis.
Practically every county in every
State inthe Union is represented at
the Academy this year, and over one
hundred men have been selected from
the ranks to train for offers in this
great institution.
The above picture of the grounds
of the Naval Academy was taken
fro man aeroplane and shows the
beautiful buildings the athletic field,
the gymnasium (on the extreme left)
the Chapel (on the extreme right
and the living quarters in the center
o fthe picture. The quarters, Ban
croft Hall, are large enough to ac-
comomdate over two thousand enid
dies" without crowding The rooms,
containing two men ccch, are COM
modious and light and all have
showers.
While the course at Annapolis is a
strenuous one, it nevertheless fits our
young laval Officers to take their
places amcng the best educated men
of the wo, Id. And it may be said
that j. education is yet in its infancy
when he finally graduates from this
famous school. Travel is education,
this cannot be denied, and although
the young officer has made three sum-
mer cruises when he graduates, his
travels have only commenced; for
after getting out into the service ne
goes over the entire world.
Each year 100 enlisted men are
given, the chance of entering the
Naval Academy. The highest honor
ever attained by a midshipman grad
uating fro mthe Academy was be-
slowed upon Wesley Mel. Hague, an
ex-enlisted man of the Navy. The
men entering the institution from the
ranks of the Navy bring to the other
students an atmosphere of ship life;
together with a certain amount of
romance and a greater knowledge OF
what the service offers to the Alneri-
can youth today.

PLANS FOR
THREE FREE
PORTS NOW
By RALPH HI. TURNER
Omitted Press Service)

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 18. (By
Mail. )-Mexico's newest bid for an
increased international commerce, rep
resented by the creation of "free
zones" on both the east and west
coasts, has just become q law. This
movement, sponsored by Secretary of
the Treasury Alvarado and enacted
into law by decree over the sigma
ture of President De la Huerta, pro-
vides that Guaymas and Salina Cruz,
on the west coast, and Puerto Mexico,
on the east, shall be converted into
free ports.
Accordin to its official hackers, the
project will stimulate manufacturing
within Mexico, at the same time pro-
noting the country's foreign trade.
During the discussion of the PROPOSE
ton, heavy opposition was aroused.
Many of its opponents declared the
idea was impractical and simply rep
resented the desire of certain govern
ment leaders to promote their private
interests. Regardless of its merits,
however, the PROJECT is interesting be-
cause Of its propc 'Sed relation to the
comerce of North anu South America,
as we'll as Europe and Asia.
The centra Idea IF the plan has
been directed tov,1.ro utilizing the mar
row strip of territory known as the
Isthmus or Tehuantepec, which is
traversed through the states of Vera
Cruz and Oaxaca by tie Tehuantepec
Railway, with Salina Cruz and Puerto
Mexico as its termini. Mexican Off
cials assert that by converting both of
these cities into free ports, the 18TH
mus can be made a center of foreign
trade in the Western Hmisphere, sec
ond only to the Panama Canal. Thus,
by the terms of the lawg free zones
will be established surrounding the
ports, customs formalities will. be
suspended, and merche ndise which is
in trancit, or which is be re-eXport-
ed outside the COUNT, will be ad-
nitted free of duty.
The officials believe that the zones
will then serve as assembling places
for raw materials which may be
turned into manufactured products
within the zones, thus upbuilding ma
tional industry. The TehuantepeC
Railway, it is hoped, will serve DIS a
logical medium for the transit and
distribution of merchandise between
North and South America and Europe
and the Orient. Bonded warehouses
will form one feature of the new pro
gram.
Guaymas,, it is pointed out, also has
been made a free port because its To-
cation in the Gulf of California, in the
northern state of Sonora, gives it {
position of vantage with respect tC
North America and Asiatic commerce
Guaymas also is the southern ter
minus of the Southern Pacific Railway
of Mexico, which would be expected
to transport raw products from north
western Mexico, developing Guayma
as a manufacturing and exporting
center.
The decree provides that the FREE
ports of Salina Cruz and Puert'
Mexico, as well as the ehuantepe
Railway, be placed under the admins
tration of single board of directors
to be named by the government.
