 Former Judge Harry J. Beardsley will present prizes to winners of the days sport program which has been announced complete by Chairman William F. Steinmetz. The awards will be made just previous to the fireworks display. Following the fireworks a giant bonfire will be lighted on the lot adjacent to the Bunker Hill Congregational church.

One of the most noteworthy ac- complishments of the police accid- ent squad since its organization is the sharp decrease in accidents along East Main street. In the last two months accidents along that thoroughfare have been reduced to a fraction of their former number.
 In the first 25 days of April there were 29 accidents on East Main street. During the same period in May, this figure was brought down

that the g.o.p. was highly confident of unseating Congressman Smith and carrying the fifth district.
 John M. Burrall Is Sure
 John M. Burrall, who waged a strong campaign for the mayoralty two years ago, is another likely can- didate. At the dinner to MT. Upson, however, most of the speculation centered about the names of MT. Rice and Bailey. Both are we'll known in business circles, MT. Rice holding a post with the Scovill Man. ufacturing Company and MT. Bailey being claim agent for the c. R. and L. Lines.
 Whatever the republican ticket may be in the fall, it is certain to contain the names of several mem- bers of the Young Mems Republican club. The organization feels that 1t has a right to strong representation on the ticket, and its chances are aided by the fact that the town chairman is a member of the organ iZation.

6OO,00O-Watt WLW Must

A hint Of tighter control of high

from Communications Commissioner
Payne in asking Station WLW, Gin
einnati, to show why it should con-
tinue operating on 500 900 watts power.
In letter to Powell Crosley, jr.,
head of the station, he called for COM
plete information by September 10 on
WINS capital investment, revenues,
expenditures and dividends.
When you were a voluntary wit
ness at the informal engineering con-
ference of this commission" Payne
wrote, Il asked you certain questions
designed to bring out information
about monopoly you hold of the I'M
usual power of 100000 watts and the
fact that you enjoy this extraordinary
privilege under the guise of an ex-
perimental license in the interest Of
science.
1t seems now, as it seemed then,
that there is no great secret about
the fact that instead of the expert
mental license being used for scientific
research, it is used simply as a means
Of earning unusual commercial profits"
The commissioner quoted from an
address on July 19 by Representative
AcFarlane, Democrat, of Texas.
He said" the letter continued. that

1t has been apparent for some
time that mems hat styles we're
due for a change. The narrow brim
and high tapered crown that We
have all become so familiar with
was too standardized. And when
ever a style becomes universally
accepted you can look for change.
That change made itself evident
some time ago, but only last sea-
son in any big way. If you'll re-
member, wider brims and lower
crowns were being shown when
you bought your last spring hat.
This season that trend has be-
come general. Every hat manufac-
turer is featuring the new wider.
lower hats. Most men are welcom-
ing the new style because it af-
fords welcome change from what
they have been wearing.
THE NEW HAT
The leading example of the cur
rent favorite has a brim that
measures "a inches wide and a
crown that is 5R inches high. The
brim is flatter with only a slight
dip in front and the back turns
up in a correspondingly moderate
way. So you can see that the in
fluence of the Tyroleans is Just
about over.
The brims are also treated in a

COLORS MARK SPRING SHIRTS

Color and more color is the
theme song of the smartest spring
shirts. While the Importance of
patterns cannot be over-empha-
sized, it is the combination of bold
colors on pale grounds that set
the style pace.
Deep and vivid stripes on pale
shaded grounds show a major
trend has developed. The stripes
are irregularly arranged and ap-
pear in different colors. For the
sake of an example we will men,
tion one shirt that bids fair to be-
come the leader. Yellow, green,
red, blue and gray all blended for
a harmonious effect on a pale

Novel treatments of the bands
are frequent enough to be novel;
ty. One hat has the band going
through two eyelets instead of be-
ing tied in the conventional bow
Another also does away with the
bow and has the band twisted
in front and back. In all of these

new way. Instead of the uniform
raw edge that has been featured
so long, the new spring hats give
you a wide variety of finishes.
One of the best bets has been
welted edge. In case you are not
familiar with the term it might
be explained that the welt edge is
an extension of the brim turned
back flat on the brim itself. Others
have bound edges and at least one
hat maker that we know of shows
a snap brim hat with the raw edge
finished with four closely set rows
of stitches.
The tendency with undergradu-
ates is to wear the snap brim with
the brim turned up in front. In
accordance with this move many
of the spring hats have flattened
brims, or else a brim that is
wide at the sides and narrower
in front. These changes allow the
nat to be worn up
OTHER SPRING MODELS
The Homburg has never been a
summer hat because of its exces-
sive weight. That objection is be-
coming overcome with the ad-
vent of lighter homburgs. Many
of these have narrower bands
that aid in giving the proper

spring-summer effect.
A modified Tyrolean that will
find favor with younger men and
with men who like to dress for
every occasion is being shown. 1t
is typically a roughish country
type hat having a wool band,
brim that is 2as inches wide and
a crown that is 512 inches high.

ground. While lit may startle you
at first, it's the kind of shirt that
grows on you. But these aren't
the only stripes shown. Others are
heavy candy stripes with fine hair
line stripes between. In this type
of stripping one color plus white
are usually used.
CHECKS STILL STRONG
Checked shirts and deeptone
shirts made sueh a sensational hit
the past few seasons that they
have carried over to this season.
While not quite as strong as pre-
viously, they still must be con-
sidered in any style review. The
bold checks and extra dark tones
are, to some extent, being rele-
gated to their proper position
among the sport shirts and there
fore will not be seen around the
offices with the same frequency.
Many men will welcome the
change from checks and deep
tones. They will see in the new
light straw-colored grounds fea-
turing deep stripes a chance to
wear something different and new.
...- CORONATION IMPORTANT.
A tremendous influence in mems
shirts, ties, hose, robes, in fact all
accessories has been made by the
Coronation. The official colors of
red and blue chosen originally for
the Coronation of Edward VIII
have been held over for the ascen-
sion of George VI. These colors
are flattering to all men regard
less of complexion and for that
reason will be worn frequently.
Red and blue shirt patterns, How
ever, in hose, red and blue over
squares, stripes and clocks are
shown.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
1t is quite natural to see the i'm
ported styles concentrate heavily
on the Coronation colors. These
show not only the red and the
blue, but also the gold and purple
that appear in the royal vestments.
An unusual novelty is a sleeve
less pullover that shows red on
one side and blue on the other.
II is reversible and may be worn
either way. A wool sports shirt |
features deep blue with a dis
tinct red squared pattern. This
shirt has half sleeves and a two
button neck. Royal scenes and SYM
bols are common on handkerchiefs.
COLLAR STYLES
The tendency throughout the
many shirt lines is toward lower
necklineS. The three and one-half
inch collar point bids well to be-
come the national style favorite
short point models are
coming in. So it can be seen that
extremes are at hand. Variations
on the Duke of Kent collar are
also appearing. These have the
same spread as before but less
length to the points. Button downs
continue to be well up on the style
list and the more formal type of
shirt showing white collars and
white French cuffs is making a
great bid for top ranking. The
popularity of the double
breasted suit has undoubtedly done
more than anything else to bring
about its revival.
