PANAMA

A plain black band, about 2A
inches wide, is most popular.
But you'll find some solid color
blues, greens and maroons, too.
The Panama
Always popular with Big Bus
ineSs is the panama. And the
favorite 1880 panama has a
Semi-blocked crown-rather high
with a long ridge running along
the top center. "a cord" as the
hat men Say0
The curled brim varies from
2A to 23s inches and the
crown is about 334 inches high.
The usual neat black band is
about a half inch wide.
Of course you'll see panamas
with Sunken crowns, too-that
is. with the crown pushed down
telescope style. And still others
will be worn with the crown
pinched into two grooves in the
front.
The LeghOrn
The leghorn hat always shows
up about this time, This year
they have rather high crowns,
flat or telescoped. And the snap
brims vary from 22s to 23s
inches in width.
Many of these leghorns are
decked out with fancy pug
garee" or scarf bands-most
often tan with four pleats.
II you look for them, you'll
see other hats, too. But these
three, certainly, are most in
fashion this year.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Re-
gardless of the calendar, spring
for the men didn't begin until
May IS. Straw Hat Day.
Ordinarily q man buys his
clothes when and as he likes.
His suits and coats and shirts.
But not his hats. Some forgotten
fetish has made May 18th the
earliest possible date for a man
to appear in a straw, And If he
doesn't take it off by September
15-somebody else will take it
off for him!
Now :. week otter the
18th. the streets are yellow
with straws. And this years are
more comfortable and better
looking than they've been for a
long time.
Sennits Popular
What haL is most in fashion?
The answer is-and it's an ans
wer found In ball parks, trains,
streets and offices-any hat
that's light enough to ward off
sunstroke and wide enough to
keep the nose from looking like
raw beef.

And of all the hats that fill
these specifications, the most
popular-so our counts show
is that good old standby
the sailor sennit. And sennit has
nothing to do with the boy
named Mack. It's just the ordin-
ary straw in the ordinary straw
hat most men wear.
Watch 'em. You'll notice that
their crowns vary from about
33s to 3la inches in height. And
their brims start as narrow as
2A inches and spread to as
much as c3s"inches.
What's the smartest width?
In our opinion, that's decided by
what looks best on you.
Got a small head? Then the
narrower brims will probably
look better. But a larger head
wears wider brim better.
The favorite straw is a light
weight one. "Flatfoot" the hat
makers call it. And on the inner
rim, Of the brim, many hats
have q strip of open work
straw for extra CoolneSs.

Matches
Mrs. Hoover Unable to Attend
Davis Cup Games at
Club Today

Not a little dissppoint-
ment was felt this morning
when the White House an
nounced that Mrs. Hoover
was still too indisposed to
permit her attending the
David Cup tennis matches
at the Chevy Chase Club
this afternoon.
Last year Mrs. Hoover
was a member of the enthus-
iastic gallery witnessing the
games. Always an ardent
tennis fan she was at one
time a player herself and
still loves the sport above
all others. According to
the announcement this morn
ing not only will she be un-
able to attend this after
noon but she does not ex-
pect to be able to 60 at
all this year.
Plans Cancelled
The exhibition matches at
the White House planned for
last year and postponed on ac-
count of inclement weather
have also been called off and
unless the President himself
can steal a few hours away
from his duties 60 slip out to
the club the games promise
to go unheeded by the first
tennis fans of the country.
A notable group, however,
made the trek to the Chevy
Chase Club early this after
noon to be on hand for the
opening match. The sponsors
of the tournament had espe-
cially requested that all specta-
tors be in their seats promptly
at 2::30 o'clock in order that
their coming and going might
not disrupt the play.
British Envoy
Complying with the sponsors
request the British Ambassador
and Lady Lindsay arrived a
few minutes ahead Of time and
were in their box when the first
Volley was fired.
Unfortunately the Mexican
ambassador, Senor Manuel
Teller, who, with the Mexican
team participating in the
tournament has a special inter
est in this weeks games, was
called out of town earlier in
the week and is in Chicago to-
day. If he can arrange his
program he expects to return in
time for Saturdays matches.
Today his box is being occupied
by the first secretary of the
embassy, DR.. Pablo Campos-
Ortiz. and other members of
the embassy staff.
The Spanish Ambassador,
Senor Don Alexandra Padilla,
is attending with his son.

recognized, after all.
In a recent bulletin the De-
partment of Agriculture said:
The miSdeeds of which the
crow has been convicted greatly
outnumber it's virtues, but these
are not necessarily equal in i'm.
portance. Much of its damage
to crops and poultry can be pre-
vented while the birds services
in the control of insect pests
can i'll be spared.
"At the same time no policy
can be recommended that will
allow the crow to become SO nu'
merouS as to greatly accentuate
its shortcomings. The crow has
such great capacity for both good
and harm that determination of
the species would have ultimate
consequences no less serious than
its oVerabundance."
The department has not gone
off "half-cocked" on its opinion
Of the crow. It formed its con.

observation on the fields where
the bird holds sway: from tes

MUSIC COLLEGE
IS COMPELLED
To SUSPEND

STAUNTON. Va, Jan, 1O.-With
the ending of the Christmas
holidays, Maneh College Of Music,
situated on the Valley pike a
few miles north Of here, has
temporarily closed, a suspension
until next fall being decided upon
at a meeting Of the board Of
directors held here last Thursday.
1t is anticipated, it was learned
here today, that ambitious reor-
ganization plans for the school,
including a new name and with
new management, will mark the
opening of the school for the fall
term in September, 1880.
Enrolment Dwindles
Lack of support Is given as
the reason for the closing. Dur
ing the term 1928-1929 over so
girls were on the rosters, while
during the current session the en-
rollment dropped to about 22.
The directors, of whom there are
five, all prominent local business
men, had considered closing the
school for weeks, 1t was learned,
but decided to wait until the
Christmas holidays.
Prof. Martin G Manch, founder
of the college and its former
president, handed in his resigna-
ton at the close of the school
year last June. During the past
session Weldon Whitlock has been
temporarily in charge Of the
school.
Teachers Stranded
A majority of the students
were notified by wire in time to
prevent their return after the
Christmas holidays, it was
learned, but some of the faculty
were not notified and returned.
1t is said that several of the
teachers who returned did not
have money to &C back to their
homes and are virtually stranded
here. One woman. according to
report, had to borrow money to
keep up the payments on a life
insurance policy which she has
been paying for Is years.
In another case, one of the
teachers who had lost all of her
savings in the recent stock mar
ket crash. was thrown out of
employment upon which she had
been relying for a living.

SHORT-CHANGED
MAN FILES
PROTEST

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Jan.
1O.-Bitter denunciations Of an
alleged tourist trap" on the
Richmond washington Highway in
Fairfax county and the methods
employed by N. E. Dove, "reclin-
ing justice" pour into the office
Of the A. A. A. here, according to
]. Russell Hilldrup, local repre-
sentative of that organization.
Dove and County Officer w. A.
Mills, of Fairfax, recently have
come in for some little unfavor-
able publicity in the Virginia
papers because Of their alleged
cooperation in catching and fin
ing unsuspecting motorists in the
vicinity of Accotink.
ReclineS on Couch
Dove, it is declared, hears
charges while reclining on a
couch in his private residence.
Several arrested and tried by him
declared the justice never arose
from his position on the couch
even to administer the oath.
Among the latest arrested was
n. G.. Blalock, travelling sales
man, OF this city, who only
escaped being sent to Jail when
he prevailed upon the justice to
permit him to telephone a local
bank which guaranteed payment
OF his check.
Blalock states that Mills
arrested him. He was alone, he
said, and going at a moderate
speed. Several cars, all contain
ing more than one person, passed
him, Blalock says, but Mills let
them go and ordered him to stop.
Justice Dove fined him $40, with
out arising from his couch.
Skipped With Change
B. Halsey Spencer, of Long
meadow. Mass, not only COM
plains of being unjuStly arrested
and fined, but says the man
who went to change the bill
rendered in payment of the fine,
never came back.
j. H. Gasser, of Richmond, in
a letter to a local paper, said he
was arrested by Officer Mills
while a car just in front of the
Gasser car. which was stopped
at the same time as the latter,
was allowed to go on. GasSer
says he asked Mills why this
happened and Mills replied that
the parties in the car were re-
lated to him.
Hilldrup, the A. A. A. repre-
sentative here, says reports pour
into him almost daily, and re-
cited a list of names of tourists
who had lodged complaints.
