 In addition there is an aggrega- tion of some seventy-five beautiful girls and handsome young men known as the Sing Band" This group uses no musical instrument yet plays" popular music by imi- tating the various instruments of a dance orchestra so closely that it is impossible for the human ear to tell the difference.

SOMBRERO IS
 SAFETY FIRST

MEXICO, D. F., July 30. - The Mexican sombrero is an institution here, but it may be joke as well. If cartoonists desire to make man look ridiculous, they put a big som- brero on him.
 Yet the sombrero, at hat, may sometimes cost as much as $500. Some are made of finest felt, adorned with gold, silver and cop per, and a few with precious stones. The big hat has practical ad- vantages since it provides plenty of protection from the sun, spares the eyes from glare, and prevents hunting accidents.
 In the United States hunter might mistake a moving object m the woods for a deer, but the Mexi- can sombrero never has been taken for anything but a sombrero.
