PARIS, May P.-European
travelling, for Europeans, would be as
easy as committing, under the scheme
advocated by several travellers organ
izations and under consideration by
the foreign offices of many coun-
tries.
The plan contemplates the use of
European passports" enabling the
traveller to journey in any country in
Europe without the usual visa an
noyance. They would be issued un-
der the authority of an inter-Eur
pean passport union and would be
printed in at least three languages.
Actual issuance would be by COM
mittee of the consuls- general Of each
European country in each capital,
who would approve it only after a
thorough investigation of the appli-
cant. Those unable to satisfy the
committee would be forced to travel
with the usual national passport.

Tibet Has No Need
Of Any Feminist Drive

London, June 10 R-Tibet doesn' t
need any feminists, for women have
ruled parts Of Tibet for centuries.
They have complete control of all
indoor management, and officials
always consult their wives about
official business. Sir Charles Bell,
former political agent for Tibet,
presented such an account before
the Indian section Of the Royal So
ciety Of Arts.
Women Of Tibet have no dispute
over the word 'obey" In the mar
riage service. for monogomy, poly
gamy and polyandry are all prac-
ticed. Only spinsterhood is taboo,
for women are scarce. Tibetan
women often marry men with many
younger brothers. of whom they au-
fomatically become the wives.
Polyandry is practiced chiefly among
herdsmen and the peasantry. This
practice probably developed because
in these nomadic families many men
are required to go to distant points
for grain and salt for the live
stock. and 1t is impossible to take
women and children on these wan
derings.

which was very high in the crown,
and another had the material caught
to the front in pleated tuck ar
rangement which protruded youth
fully at the right side of the hat for
about four or five inches.
Another hat was a beige felt
trimmed with silver, introducing again
the attempt toward elegance which is
prevalent throughout the fall fash
ions. One of bright red velvet was
brought high on one side only.
Ribbon Trims Important
The hats of the smartest Parisians
are still in most cases trimmed with
ribbon. A new note is introduced by
the uses of satin as trimming.
Feathers are enjoying a strong re-
vival, particularly the light pasted
feather pads, and double pom-pons
are also smart.
Trimmings also make use of many
ornaments and other interesting nov
elites that are far more elaborate
than they have been for many sea-
sons in the scheme toward making
things more elaborate. Metal is en-
joying a very great demand right at
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-09-25

this time We noted metal being
used on hats of the dressier type and
in the drape toques, of which there
are many variations. An outstanding
feature of the new fall hats is that
they appear much younger this sea-
son than they did last. E
More About Trimmings
Our interest continues to be CEN
tered on trimmings, for we found
tn EN- unusually interesting an d
smartly new. Paradise feathers, large
rosettes composed of loops of satin
ribbon, motifs in geometric design,
velvet, ribbon, rosettes, huge ostrich
plunles and great punches of flat
tering flowers are only few of the
trimmings that are to be found in
the hats for fall, 1927.
A few wide-brimmed hats were
evident, and there is tendency to-
ward the slight poke effect.
The woman who seeks individuality
in the hats she wears will have little
difficulty in finding the creations
which suit her type, personality and
moods, for there is a decided ten
dency toward much more hand work

LAST BIG rush.
IS LAUNCHED TO.
Get FAIR READY

number of changes are rapidly
taking place at the fair grounds and
the thing which first strikes the eye
upon entering the grounds is that
the exhibit house for the poultry is
already in perfect shape for the re-
ceiving of the exhibits The floor
space in the poultry exhibit building
has been heightened many feet this
year and additional coops have been
installed SO that the great exhibit
should be comfortably housed.
The inside of the building has been
thoroughly cleaned, the coops have
all been arranged and labeled and
when the exhibits arrive they can be
placed in their coops at once with
out confusion or inconvenience.
The high board fence around the
grounds has been extended on the
inside SO that the stock pens are in
cluded among the exhibition houses.
In the past the stock pens fave been
outside the exhibition grounds and
inside the grandstand area so that
during races or exhibitions on the
speedway the people wishing to see
the livestock show were forced to
wait or pay admission to the eXhibi-
tions. This is long needed and very
satisfactory improvement.
Men have been at work all week
on the speedway. There has been a
great amount of rain on the track
this summer and it is in fine solid
condition for narrowing, scraping and
rolling out. A trip round the track
reveals that all the humps have been
cut off and the holes filled in and
by the time for the big races it
ever before.
The bottom of the curves has been
cut deeper than ever and some rails
ing has been done on the banks

in the making of hats, and this all
brings in the personal touch Of the
individual milliner
The Hats of Evening
The eyes of evening will see hats
that are very fancy in gold or silver,
with perhaps the most attractive be-
ing of the close fitting aviator sill
houette, influenced, no doubt, by the
now famous Lindbergh.
In most cases the models for eve
ming are trimmed by small shaving
brush effects in color just above the
forehead or at the right ear.
And so the tendency grows through
out the hats of fall toward more
elegance, yet not forgetting chic.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-09-25

The committee on cowboy sports
has done some work set OF cat
tie and horse pens with double
chutes has been erected in addition
to the inadequate pens that have
been used in past years. The track
on which the great horse racing pro-
gram will be staged has been scraped
off and marked out and presents

half mile in length 1t extends from
the north to the south curves of the
speedway just inside the oval track
and directly in front of the bleach
