Why should custom force one to wear
felt hat, or a straw hat, or an Iron
hat" as the derby was once known?
an nothing is the absurdity of GUS
tom more apparent, he feels, than in
the unwritten law that the comfortable
straw must be discarded on the stroke
OF September Is.
Here is a September with weather
almost as warm as the last well re-
membered August. a month in which q
straw would be as seasonsble as then
Yet scores of thousands of men
throughout the United States solemnly
laid away their we'll worn straWs and
donned equally well worn felts.
Well may the rebel ask why.
X x
The believing world does not ask that
man look well in a felt, but merely
that he wear 1t.
He may, as he often does, look like
an owl, fool or an ass but so long as ii
is a felt he is all right.
He belongs"
Women have bit more sense in such
matters.
With them appearance is. or at least
is supposed to be, everything. For ii
is not to be supposed that, living side
by side with man, she will not pick UP
some OF his superstitions. She. too
despite her dress sense, often wears her
nat because other women wear the
same type of hat.
Hence we see girls with large hats
VINO ought to be wearing small ones,
and women with small hats who would
look better in big ones.
\ X X
Many man has held out for wears
against the felt hat vogue, to go down
at last before the onslaughts of its
wearers.
Some felt foes have been very dis
tlngulsned men. One, in particular
that the world may recall, wore a can
until he got into very high Office.
Then he took to the felt and the
SIX hat. but mostly to the latter.
The felt generally wins out. with these
rebels, at about the fortieth year.
Until that age a man can be
mental rebel, because his heart is in it.
and he possesses the vim to carry on
alone
But middle age causes him to "stop
and think so the Rictors declare. but
ne knows better. He knows that it is
simply a loss of vim.
x
Age soothes down the rebellious
spirit. A man who once few into an
anger over nothing now keeps his tenn
per very well in the face of real
grievance.
What is the use of fussing over
nothing? He will. reserve his strength
for matters worth while.
So he dons q felt hat.
1t is no sooner on than those of his
friends who know his peculiarities at
tempt to set him straight
His hat is too big to suit one, too
small to suit another The first wants
him to take it back and get a smaller
one, the other to return it for a
larger lid
If he finally succeeds in pleasing the.
two of them he fails n1iserably to wear
1t properly, according to both.
The sacred hat should not be worn
on the back of the head, but should
be pulled down well on the forehead,
no matter how it makes one look.
That is one of the mysteries Of the felt
hat.

Sounds Religious

At the time that the talkies
arrived to revolutionize things in
California, Lon CLANCY was the
No. / of the male stars on the
Metro-G Goldwyn payroll, outdraw-
ing even the much exploited John
Gilbert. The $5O-a-week actor Of
'Hell's Paradise" in 1912, was
drawing $500 in 1929. He could
hardly realize it himself but was
wise enough to begin real estate
. operations to keep his surplus
cash busy CLANCY built and
sold homes to other stars. But
the foundation Of his fortune
came from the reputation &C
quired in 1.-THE Miracle Man"
The strong undercurrent Of re.
ligion in "The Miracle Man" has
been cited as one objection to an
audible reissue. With dialogue
close to the original Subtitles it
might sound like religious propa'
'ganda, and producers while eager
to have virtue triumphant for
film endings, are notoriouSly
afraid of propaganda stories.

WOLHEIM WILL

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. Aug. ~.
Once upon a time, I asked Louis
Wolheim if he had ever played
a love scene. Was he incenSed!
Well, the big oportunity Is at
hand. Louis not only will play
a love scene but he will get the
girl at the finish of the untitled
sea story, which Is now being
whipped into shape by Hugh Her
bert, actor and scenarist.
The girl in the picture is to
be Mary Astor. And uSurping
Louis usual post as heavy" win
be Ian Keith, the tall leading
man who bears a faint re-
semblance to John Barrymore.
Wolheim himself is directing.
According to Herbert's descrip-
ton, the characters in the picture
will be a jolly crew. The girl is
a bum, Wolheim is bum, Keith
is an even worse bum and Her.
bert, who'll turn actor when the
scripts finished. will be a good
natured vagabond.
Aside from that, an atmos-
phere Of refinement will prevail.
You'll recall that the cheer
fully vulgar comedy, 1.-TWO Arabian
Nights" was one Of Wolheim's
biggest hits. ....

GOLD MINES TO PnQDUCE
 MORE METAL
MUST PRODUCE MORE GOLD IF SILVER AND GOLD ARE NOT
 PLACED ON PARITY

LOS ANGELES. Oct, IS, Sen. Kev Pittman. Nevada. an auth ority. on gold and silver mining. said that the credit of the world n threatened by a shortage of gold and by "England's desperate at tempt to get enough of the yellow metal to stabilize her silver cur rency'
 In the credit situation, Senator Putnam said, is seen the promise of a tremendous boom in gold mir ing in the western states.
 The production of the world gold supply is decreasing daily' he sid. ~The finances or the world are based on this metal; there are grounds for uneasintss as ec- onomists hold credit is being strained
 There is a tremendous rivalry between governments to obtain gold. Tha United States has nearly one half of the worlds supply while France has about one quar- tn. England on the other hand has about one tenth and in her effort t5 get gold t0 sustain her gold bas- ie currency in India, has been melt ing up, and sacrificing great quan- tlties of silver coin and dumping iI on the world market. This has broken the price of silver which is the only measure of wealth in countries. comprising popula- tion of half the world.
 Consequently the value of nearly one-half of the world has been re- duced by the reduction of the pur- chasing power of silver in such countries as China, India, Russia Mexico and those of South Amer fca."
 The Senator said gold mining in South Africa is on the wane be- cause the mines are playing out He said consequently mines in the western United States which have lain unworked because of the ex- pense connected with their opera ton probably will come into their own.'
