The very new and very snug hats
that have come to add a new note to
the mode show tendencies to remain
with us well throughout the Spring.
The small helmet shape or aviator's
cap has taken hold of Paris eyes and
in many startling versions of the orig
inal shape appears in both chiffon
felts and silks in all the shades fav-
ored for Springtime.
1t is essential in selecting these
close fitting hats to have one that fol

This is the ultimate note in chic. They
may or may not be pointed in the back
to suggest the closely cropped head.
In the front they frequently rise to a
peak or possess some decoration that
gives a hornlike effect. Flaps that APP
pear on both sides are also seen and
smartly. One side may droop slightly,
as a hairline suggestion, and rise to
reveal a smooth forehead. exactly

recently introduced and should be

The combination of grosgrain and silk

BOOTLEG KING
BATTLE
ON INSANE TEST

CINCINNATI, Nov. 16, lP)-Victor
in the first great fight of his murder
trial, George Remus today lost a
battle to widen the scope of the san
ity tests the jurors in his case shall
prescribe.
Judge Chester r. Shook ruled that
the three tests customarily applied in
Ohio courts and not five or ten or
fifteen" as demanded by Remus shall
rule. They are:
l. Was the accused a free agent in
forming the purpose to kill?
2. Was he at the time capable of
judging whether that act was right
or wrong?
8. Did he know at the time it was
an offense against the laws of God
and man?
Yesterday Remus won the right to
help select the jury which shall de-
termine his fate, despite objection of
the prosecution on the ground that
his sole defense was that he killed
his estranged wife, Imogene, October
g. while temporarily insane.
For two days RemuS had sat sill
emily as over and over again Prose-
cutor Charles P. Taft IL, or his as
sistantS, had piled veniremen with the
long, question which provoked todays
outburst
THE court will charge you that
there are three tests of legal insanity,
which the jury must apply in their
consideration of this case" said Mr..
Taft. "Will you follow this portion of
the courts charge rather than any
ideas of your own or commonly ac-
cepted ideas as to insanity?"
Remus leaped to his feet with an
objection. Taft tried to stem the flow
of oratory until he could demand
that the jury be sent from the court
room. He finally made his point and
Remus debated his objection at
length to the court, only finally to
be overruled by Judge Shook
At adjournment II tentative jurors
were in the box.

gated today >to become effective next
Monday, pending negotiations OF trade

| Most American firms which export
products to France were pleased with
the new provisional tariff but there
were complaints against the revised
schedules from the manufacturers Of

hosiery, manufacturers OF breakfast
floods and several other industries.
! With the PRONUNCIATION of the de-
cree, the French government delivered
another note to the American embas-

inform the American government that

reduced, the rates might be lowered

the specific duties hitherto applying

Breakfast food makers who COM

piled to cartons in which prepared
cereals are encased, have seen the
duty brought back to where it was

ing duty on cardboard containers for

they can be used again. Efforts will

government that the cartons are not

NEGOTIATIONS
told in COURT

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16, R)-
Details of business maneuverS which
rival the exploits of Get Rich Quick
Wallingford in fiction were described
today by witness in j. F.. F. Vandern-
burgh's 100000 suit against c. C.
Julian, former head of Julian Pet
roleum.
Vandernburgh, better known as Jac
Van, continued the story of his trip
to Phoenix, Arizona, where he al
legged he was sent by Julian to nego-
tiate with Ezra W. Thayer for pur-
chase of the Monte Cristo mine at
a figure within $3,000,O0o. 1t is as
commission on that deal that Van de-
mands the 100000.
Van testified that representing
himself as Baron Vanderberg," a
wealthy Dutchman seeking a spot to
found a Dutch colony, he had first
contrived to meet Thayer outside, the
Methodist church in WicKenburg, Ari-
zona. Van swore that he and William
j. OTIS, a San Francisco detective
who was in the "baron's" suite, had
learned that Thayer was devout
churchman and had hurried to the
church on arrival in town.
Van said they arranged to sit
close to Thayer in church and that
each of them put SIS in the collect
ions box. Their gifts made things
easy, and they met Thayer outside
the church after services, and, struck
up an acquaintance, which, Van in
sists, resulted in Thayer's agreeing
to sell half interest in the mine for
$1,OOO,O0O.
Julian's defense retaliated by put
ting Ezra W. Thayer, Jr.,. secretary
of the Monte Cristo mining company,

self had closed the deal with Julian

BRITISH FLIER
PLANS HAWAII
HOP-OFF TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16 Up =
Everything was declared ready and
favorable tonight for Captain Fred
erick A. Giles, British aviator, to hop
off tomorrow morning for Hawaii, the
first, stop in his proposed flight to
wellington, New Zealand.
Giles announced that he was ready
to make his start tomorrow between
9 and $50 a. m. from Mills field.
t. R. Reed of the United States
bureau here gave the flier a report Of
conditions at sea tonight, stating that
if he starts tomorrow he might en-
counter some cloudinesS and perhaps "a
little rain, but that the atmospheric
conditions over the 2405 mile course
are as good as can be expected at this
time of the year.
The captain retired at 6 D.. M, to-
night, to rest for his 28-hour grind
of plotting and navigating the Hess
Bluebird biplane Wanda tGo Wheeler
field, Hawaii All day he worked on
charts and maps with sea navigators
and aviation experts, figuring out his
course and calculating "shotS" he is
to make with his sextant at pre-de-
termined hours.
The plane rested in its IN-ngar at
Mills field tonight. Early in the ls1orn-
ing it will be wheeled to the 5700-
foot runway and fueled at it's starting
point. They believed Giles would
experience no trouble in getting his
51OO-pound load off the ground safely
The plane weighs that much when
fueled with its 430 gallons of gasoline
Giles is backed by w. H. Rosewarne
of Detroit.
Giles expects to reach Hawaii dur
ing the early afternoon hours of Fri
day, after fling about % hours. From
Hawaii he plans to hop to the Samoan
and Fiji islands, thence to Brisbane
and Sydney, Australia, and end his
flight at Wellington, New Zealand.

JARDINE URGES
SELF HELP AS
FARMERS need

GRAND ISLAND, Neb, Nov. 16 Up
The greatest and most permanent
benefits to the farmers will come from
a program of self help, Secretary of
Agriculture Jardine believes.
At the same time. he said in an ad-
dress read today before the Nebraska
Farmers Elevator association by r.
w. Dunlap, assistant secretary of agri-
culture, there is no doubt need for
constructive legislation to assist the
development of cooperative market
ing.
"one need at the present time is for
a system of credit which will enable
cooperative associations to acquire
adequate plants and facilities and
which will permit them to obtain the
necessary loans at reasonable rates of
interest and under long time terms
of repayment" he said.
ST am hopeful that congress will
give attention to legislation of this
kind at the coming session.

into the pipe line. Then It was pinch
ed back in accordance with prora-
ton agreement in effect in the field.
The Yates field, harnessed and un-
der control through a proration agree
mert, will not prove the menace to the
industry that Seminole d4d, it was
pointed out, as its production will be
pinched back until conditions warrant
increased production. The last prora-
ton gauge of the field, taken Novem-
ber 1, showed an official one-hour
flow of more than $4,000 barrels from
Al completed wells, or 24-hour pro-
duction rate of more than 100000 bar
rels. Only 10000 barrels are being TAX
en- from the ground daily, however.
For the brief time the Yates guSher
was permitted to flow, it showed a
production capacity of 65,000 barrels
daily, indicating the largest oil well
completed in a quarter century and
the third largest in the country's his
tory. Its exact production can not be
determined because of the proration
agreement.
The new gusher is located near the
proven center of leases comprising the
Yates ranch, but little over hundred
miles from the Mexican border. The
field leaped into the limelight when
oil was discovered at the ShalloWest

field of shallow sand. Pay sand in
