STRAW HAT DAY
Official Day for Doffing
Felt and Putting on
Straw Proclaimed.
STYLES ARE ALLURING
More Conservative Than
Last Year and Yet Many
Have Fancy Bands.

What ST. Valentines Day used to
be to the young blades of old. so is
STRAW Hat Day" to the jelly beans
of San Antonio. In the spring a
young mans fancy used TO turn to
thoughts of love. but now it turns
TO thoughts Of new straw hat, for
what young man can think of love il
he does not first think of his own
personal appearance? Saturday. April
l.. will be official straw hat day for
the old as well as the young. and aft
or Saturday anyone seen wearing
winter hat on the streets of San An
tonic will be branded as hopelessly
out of season. AL of the mems spe-
cialty Shops and stores who sell mems
furnishings are cooperating in order
IL put over the biggest straw hat day
that San Antonio has ever had. and
the merchants state that they have
never had bigger nor a better stock
on hand.
Ahead of Fifth Avenue.
This is one season Of the year when
San Antonio can get ahead of Fifth
avenue. because no matter how styl-
ishiy inclined is the New Yorker. and
no matter how correct nor how allur-
ing are the straw hats displayed BY
Brooks and Sulka. there is no one
on the avenue daring enough to at
tempt a straw hat when the snow and
sleet are the city's chief ornaments.
But. by Jove. It's not showing in San
Antonio. The sun is shining its
brightest and the fields and prairies
are proudly flaunting their spring fin
cry in the way of brilliant royal gold
and purple wild flowers, and the men
of San Antonio are expected to cele-
brate straw hat day and the advent
OF spring by showing their wives that
the women are not the only ones who
can take an interest in spring milli-
merry. OF course. the men have to adj
init that the ladies got ahead of them
by few weeks margin. but Saturday
is expected TO square the account, and
after this official mems straw hat day
every man in San Antonio is expected
10 be able to start out for church Sun
day morning with q hat as spick and
span. as bright and as new as that
Of his lady companion.
Hats More Conservative.
According TO expert hat men from
San Antonio's leading stores for men.
this season there will be presented
shapes that are more conservative
than those shown in the last three or
four years. Medium height crowns
and medium width brims will be fea-
tured. The popular hat will be the
tailored model. Both curled and stiff
brims viii be shown. and the new con-
forming process which makes the hats
set more easily and firmly on the head
will be featured. Fa;-Hv braids will
be in evidence. and will be developed
in the usual colors of white and tan.
The bands will be developed in bril-
liant colors and loud stripes will be
unusually popular.
For the older msn or for the man
who wishes to appear dignified there
are hats developed in other wpaves.
such as the banana, Leghorn. Bang
kok and Ballilukc. These Panama
types should be worn with the brims
turned down in what is known as the
"snap brim" fashion. which has been
the vogue throughout the cast for sew
eral months.

Five Thousand Made And Re lease Granted, But Prisoner
 Still Held

Although allowed to make $5.000 bond when brought before Judge John Denson on habeas corpus proceedings Saturday morning, Charlie Ratliff, in- dieted by the Jefferson county. grand jury for first degree murder. was. re- turned to his cell in the county jail when Solicitor Jim Davis announced that the judges decision would be ap- pealed.
 Prosch and Prosch, attorneys for the defendant, produced several witnesses as the heating to show that he should be released on bond. The state content ed itself with opposing his release on legal grounds and immediately after bond was allowed by Judge Denson, an- nounced that the decision would be ap- pealed.

He pointed out that the case had already been set and he bad arranged to try it as set. The change in date was asked for on the ground that there was not sufficient time to summon all the witnesses for the defense: but Solicitor Davis said he would be willing to detail a member of his staff to get subpOenas served on them to insure their presence.
