 ID COST MORE

New York, April 1T-Straw hats are going up this year, it was said yesterday at the convention of the National Association of Mems Straw Hat Manufacturers of America at the Hotel Astor. The association had a dinner last night by way of celebra- ton.

This years style in straws, it was said, would be a hat with a low-crown and a broad brim made of braided straw Last years talI-crowned, narrow-brimmed style would return in 1921, the manu- lecturers said.
