SPRING STRAW HATS
INVOLVE BIC SUMS
$30,0O0,000 Invested in
U. S. Plants Which Will
Supply Coming Demand
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, April 15.-When you
buy your new Spring straw for the
Summer of 1925 you will be inter
ested, says the Trade Record of the
National City Bank, in the annual
cost of the straw hats required by
the male population in the United
States and the money invested in
their production. Thirty million
dollars would tell in very round terms
the money invested in the production
of straw hats, chiefly for men, and if
we take also into consideration the
other classes of hats, the total capi-
taliZation would approximate $780,
900, 900.
Enormous Sums Involved.
The latest figures supplied by the
United States census of manufactures
shows 96 factories engaged in the
manufacture of straw hats in 1928,
producing $40, 500 900 worth of hats;
also 163 factories engaged in the
manufacture of fur felt" hats with
an output of $75,000,0 value, and
the value of wool felt" hats turned
out in the year was $S.500,00 Thus.
the total outturn of the nearly 800
factories engaged in supplying ma
terial of this character was, in round
terms, Sl16,000,000, the total capital
iZation probably approximated $780,,
900 900, and the outturn was chiefly
for the male sex, since the census,
with due caution, remarks that its
figure, especially as to straw hats,
does not include trimmed hats for
women and children"
Sc Plants Kept Busy.
Where do these $32 900, 900 worth
of new "straws." which are now
about to be put upon the market,
come from? OF the 90 establishments
making them in 1923 nearly one-half
are in the New England and Middle
States, chiefly the State of New York:
IS in California, in Missouri and
a half-dozen each in Illinois, Mary
| land and New Jersey. The capital
of these factories, as above intimated,
approximates 500, 600, 900, of which
probably about 30 millions relate to
! those engaged in the manufacture of
straw hats.
| Nearly all of the material from
which our straw hats are made comes
to us from the other side of the
| globe.
Materials From Distant Lands.
All authorities upon this subject
| assert that the straw from which
straw hats are made is grown from
special varieties Of wheat in China,
Japan and Italy, pulled before ripen-
| ing, bleached in the sun and dew and
the color removed by chemical process
and the straw turned into "braids"
/ by the deft fingers of the women
and children of the country in which
| it is grown, and these braids forWa cd
ed to the United States

RUMORS ARE
SHOT IN DARK

Rumors III various valley papers,

satlons tomorrow against the Inn
pcrial Irrigation district directors,
are apparently wild shots" III the
dark, according to those who are in

That accusations are to be return
cd against the directors, is common
knowledge, but the date that this
action is to be taken. is not known
at present, even to those who are
in close touch with affairs.
There is little likelihood that the
accusations will be returned in the
absence of District Attorney Ctlcy.

there since Saturday, and according
TO information obtained at his Of

ed to return here bcsre the latter

THE NEW INQUISITION

Whether John T. Scopes, lately biology teacher IN
the high school of Dayton Tenn. is found guilty of
teaching that man has descended from lower order
of fe. and punished therefor, may not be of great
Importance in itself Mr. Scopes is formally accused
of breaking law of his state. Intelligent Americans
generally regard that very bad law yet aWs'are
made ito be obeyed and those who break them should
be punished according to the penalties provided, as
long as the laws remain the statute books.
The case of Miss Leila V. Scopes, sister of the de-
fendant, is different. As her is related by an
Associated UPress dispatch from Paducah KY, it is
likely to make we'll informed American wonder
whether this is modern America Spain of the In
QUESTION.
Miss Scopes is teacher of mathematics in the
Paducah high school. The school authorities admit
that her work teacher has been quite satisfactory
She discharged, Zed A. Bennett, member of
the board of education, explains, because t the
of the board that Miss Scopes service would not
be desired unless she renounced the theory of evolu
ton, and while the teacher made parade of belief
in that theory she would not admit that she did not be-
eve in it. Her work. of course, has nothing to oWth
evolution.
And how far is the thing to go? Is the Scen-
tfic Inqusition to be applied universally in this
try? Are teachers, preachers, DOCTORS lawyers and
public officials to be fired because they will not
nounce" scientific theory, just and women
prosecuted in supposedly less enlightened days
for not renouncing religious theories?
Why not make the parallel complete, and break
evouonists the wheel or burn them at the stake?

new STUDIO . OF
MRS. KENAH is
VERY ATTRACTIVE

Mrs. Oria Kenah, one of the tai.
cnted musical instructors of El Cen
tro, has almost completed her ar
tistic studio on Olive street near
Seventh street, i'll which she plans
to start work when she returns from
her vacation on September |.
Having built a studio apartment,
Mrs. Kenah will live there, thus be-
ing able to give all her time to her
work. She hopes to make the sur
roumdings and atmosphere so inspira-
tional that here pupils will work
to Il much better advantage than be-
fore.
The exterior is in colonial style.
The large studio room, which ex-
tends the whole front of the house,
will be done in Tiffany finish, that
will end to soften the glare of sun
light that floods the entire house. 1t
will be there that rIrs. Kenah will
have her class work and hold her
monthly reeitals, being able to seat
10 people easily.
Upon her return in the fall she
will start work ON the yard, sur
rounding the studio with lawn and
flowers. 1t will be as much of an
asset to the city as to Mrs. Kenah
herself to have such an attractive
studio i'll the center of FL Centre.
