NapoLeon's Many Hats

How many hats did Napoleon wear
In his lifetime7 OF course the num-
Der must have been considerable, and
yet one usually thinks that the term
Napoleon's hat must apply uniquely to
a single petit chapeau. One has just
been sold at the Hotel Drouot for
$4,000 francs, its purchaser giving a
guarantee that 1t would not leave
France. But Napoleon's hats can be
found everywhere There are no
fewer than three Of them In the Musee
de l'Armee at the Invalides and in
provincial museums and in private col
lections they must be numerous. The
list of the specimens of the headgear
OF the emperor, If 1t could be accu-
rately drawn up, would be long one.
When one speaks of NapoIeon's hat
one should therefore qualify the
phrase It is not s'the" hat Of Napo-
leon, but only assuming it to be a
genuine relic) one Of his hats.

e. w. Redfeld, the noted artist,
told at dinner in Center Bridge a
story about landscape painter.
"Dawb," he began, us always hard
up. Well, a great lady invited him
to lunch at her palace in Fifth ave-
nue. the other day, and DAVID, OF
course, accepted, only too glad to put
himself outside OF sumptuous meal,
you know.
The meal was very sumptuous, and
there were dozen big wigs present,
but DAVID was quite. at his ease. Dur
ing lull in the talk the great lady
gave him a condescending smile and
said
Il think the warm weather is here
to stay, don't your At any rate I
put my sables In cold storage this
morning
"'Cold storagep said DAVID, and
he prodded the great lady in the ribs.
Cold storage Haw, haw, hawl I
never heard it called that before. My
winter suit and overcoat went in
yesterday afternoon.

War on the Mosquito

Malaria, although not catching" in
the ordinary sense of propagation BY
contact, is borne from one person to
another by the mosquito It is now
believed that successful means Of
exterminating the mosquito has been
found
A fish known as the Gambusia pat
ruelis almost instantaneously cleared
an aquarium filled with stagnant wa
ter stocked with the eggs of the mos
quito and the wiggler This fish null
tiplies rapidly and lives in any avail
able water. It does not attack other
fish and does not migrate. 1t has
been tried with success In Honolulu.
Japan, China. Formosa, California,
and other places.
With these little fish active in the
pools and swamps Of southern Europe,
the mosquitoes life would be extermi-
mated before any danger could be
done. and thousands Of lives could be
saved.

odd Defeats
BOrdentOWn Nine

The Freehold Baseball club returned
to their winning streak and won their
second weekend victory when the
locals defeated Bordentown 8 to 3
at Freehold Sunday.
Luganani did the pitching for the
Freeholdera and hurled shutout ball
until the fifth inning when he was
hit on the head by pitched ball.
Carhart, the former Highland twirler,
relieved Luganani in the sixth frame
and barring one bad inning he held
the visiting sluggers during the re-
mai nder of the contest.
Smith did the slab work for Dor
dentown with Cook and Griffith be-
hind the plate Smith tried in vain
to come thru victorious over the
county-seaters as it was his debut
in Bordentown uniform. In four
official times at bat visiting pitch
er crashed out' two long two-bag-
gers and on the defensive he is cred
tied with seven assists and kpair Of
put outs.
Freehold took the lead with run
in the fourth inning and put the game
on ice with a sextet Of runs in the
next stanza The visitors came back
strong and crossed the rubber five
times in the fifth and sixth innings.
The local nine strengthened their
lead with another tally in their half
of the seventh frame. With three
runs behind Bordentown started q
game offensive attack in the eighth
inning but were checked when Fred
die" Quinn made one-handed stab
of hard hit grounder for force
out play at third base.
Gene Williams started what
proved to be the big inning for Free
hold in the fourth act when he sim
gled to left field Meyers hit into a
fielders' choice and both runners were
safe when Smith threw the ball too
late in attempt to force Williams
at second base. Booknoltz was hit
by pitched ball and the bases were
full. Quinn hit Texas Lacquer over
third base and Williams raced home.
Briggs flied to Horner. Kelly hit a
long single to left, scoring Meyers
and BookhoItz. Luganani was hit
on the head by a pitched ball,
Wooley hit into fielders choice and
Quinn was forced out at the base.
The bases being full, Kelly was forced
home WIN Carhart received free
ticket to the initial sack. Williams
singled scoring Luganani and Woolley,
Me. ers flied out.
Tantum. Bendrickson, Gaskill and
Smith figured heavily in the hitting
column for invading team each
player scoring two safe blows.
Carhart and Williams each kept up
their pace with the stick with two
hits apiece while timely safe blows
by Wooley, Meyers, Quinn and Kelly
also aided the county seat offensive.
The fielding of Wooley, Barrett,
Bookholtz, Williams and Quinn was
Williams covered acres
Of ground in the left garden for the
winners, and made several pretty
catches.

Choliopin Night ProsUIer

Chaliapin, who dislikes to go to bed,
was quick to become one of the regu-
lar early morning walkers along the
Thames embankment, according to q
dispatch from the British metropolis.
The first night of his appearance at
Covent Garden, Chaliapin walked
many miles, while most of London
slept. He reached his hotel just In
time to have a peep at the morning
newspapers comment on his first OPP
cratic performance.
Another famous early morning
walker is George Bernard Shaw, who
knows every inch Of the embankment
from Black Friars to Westminster. 1t
is his favorite promenade after mid
night One morning, when each want
ed to be alone, the singer and the
writer met. The conversation lasted
but a few minutes, and when they
parted Chaliapin went one way and
Shaw hurried off in the opposite d.
rection.

Tomato Growers
Not Agreed Upon
Size Of Crates

The large tomato crate is still pop
ular with buyers and producers ac-
cording to interviews with farmers and
BUYERS BY County Agent Ellwood
Douglass. While many growers are
irving the 20 quart crate many COM
mission men seem to be in favor OF US
ang the 80 quart crate. Peter McCleese,
q we'll known commission man and
buyer of Monmouth county produce,
has used the larger crates many years
and finds them satisfactory for nearby
shipments.
While a we'll graded, well packed
package commands good price in
the large or small crate the buyer
he demands. According to reports
truck hauling costs on the small
crate is approximately five cents less
than the larger crates. Many rail-
roads in the vegetable sections con-
template lowering the rates on the
20 quart crate.
Some growers are confident that
the 90 Quart packages surpasses the
larger packages in long distance
shipping. The smaller package is
easier to handle and If put up right
will be more In demand on the mar
ket. Reports indicate that about 90
percent Of tomatoes coming from the
vegetable growing sections move by
truck.
The 80 quart crate has been in use
for 25 wears and it was recently
found to be an illegal package. The
privilege, however. Of using those on
hand has been granted but no more
are to be manufactured. This ruling
makes It necessary for growers to
use the 90 or so quart crate in ship
ping their tomatoes to market.
