THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
Congratulations, ladies!

Congratulations, ladies'!
We mean on sticking to the small
hats this FAN. II you had not done
50, our reputation as a prophet woulc
have been severely wrenched.
Last June, in an article on the big
hats then being worn, we unhesitat
ingly predicted that the girls would
come back to small hats, would never
give them up, in fact.
This opinion was based upon our
idea that women have evolved a new
psychology in dress, while sticking tc
their old ideas, too.
There is no reason why women
must be consistent, II some men think
they should. Women have a divine
right to go in for one thing at one
season, and for just the opposite the
next.
Out of all this turmoil, however
is emerging, If it has not already
emerged 1--WE rather think it has), q
new way of thinking by women ir
respect to their clothes.
Recall the hideous hat creations Of
1900 and Whereabouts. The hats stuck
up on top Of the head, and every
woman wore her hat that way, nc
matter whether 1t made her look silly
or not.
Silly or not, it was Fashion.
Fashion has got to show her stuff
today. None Of our Washington
girls. for instance, is putting a hat
way up on top Of her head just be
cause some designer in Paris says
that is what they are wearing"
style Is the man." said Button
speaking Of writing.
Style Is the lady, speaking Of dress
X X X X
Today there are countless thousands
of fair ladies more or less) through
out the country who wear clothes be
cause they look good upon them, and
not because they appear in the shop
windows.
The small hat is a splendid instance
of this.
Much elaborate "panning" Of the
little head covering has been INDUCED
in. especially by older women who
were brought up in different school
The bobbed.hair craze" so.called
has proved to be no craze at all, but
a permanent, sensible and beautiful
style.
1t Is largely responsible, bobbed
hair, for the vogue Of the small hat
There is something decidedly "chic,'
as the advertisements like to say
about the combination of bobbed hair
and small hat.
The two go together.
Things that naturally go together
are always interesting. That is why
all the world loves a lover, as the
saying has it.
Bodied hair must be seen under
hat to be effective in a feminine
sort Of way, which is the way under
consideration, of course. The small
hat allows the hair to peep out from
under the brin, whereas the six-gal.
Ion affair hides most of it.
Women who do not make the most
of their hair are losing one of their
largest chances for charm, another
desirable feminine characteristic, and
one too well known to need any addi
t1onal comment here.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON
A Jolly Time.

A jolly Time.
Let's have jolly time some night.
Let's go and see a ten.round fight
And If the tickets leave us broke
Wen simply take it as a joke.
Wen sit with patience in the rain
Regardless of rheumatic pain,
And shout, since other talk we lack
"Hurrah for jack
The sirloin steak is on the grill,
The coffee brings luscious thrill,
The favorite book is on the shelf:
At home one might enjoy himself.
But we must up and far away
To find at last the chance to say
AS we observe the shifting scene,
"Hurrah for Gene"'

A radical. who, like many other rad

who lived~during the Napoleonic era
in England. This was also the ro-

era which produced Wordsworth, By

the father-in-law Of Shelley. When
Shelley and Godwin's daughter Mary,
following the teachings Of Goodwin the

shelley was already married). Goodwin
was highly indignant and refused to

FARMERS MEET
AT WASHINGTON
Organized Agriculture Opens
Session.
BIZ ynited Press :. ..


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Two
hundred delegates, representing the
organized agricultural industry Of
the country gathered here today for
the opening session of the fourth
annual Council of Farmers Coopera-
tive Marketing Associations.
Problems confronting agriculture
will be thoroughly discussed. The
four-day sessions are expected to be
devoted largely to business affairs
Of the commodity cooperative mar
keting associations but middle west
ern delegates are expected to bring
up the surplus crop question.
Farm leaders have intimated they
will air in detail their ideas Of what
is to be done legislatively concern
ing the exportable surplus of agricul-
tural products. Whether the confer
ence will take any action on the sub
ject is problematical because dele
gates come from every section Of the
United States and in some sections
the surplus problem is not big
factor.
The delegates were urged to stand
back of President Coolidge's pro-
gram, which opposed Government
price fixing, in a speech by Judge
Robert W. Bingham of Louisville,
KY. He declared the President the
leader Of the cooperative move
ment."
