Size of SOmbreO
Stabilized by
Mexican Tax

MEXICO CITY, Dec. The
Mexican sombrero is almost an en-
blem; any one who wants to appear
automatically Mexican is lost with
the straw Mexican sombreros, and
is the most priced of tourist pur-
chases
The wide Spanish hat. with its
tall, stiff crown, came into Mex
leo with the first Spanish farmers
from Andalucia. The farmers from
the state of Zamora in Spain wore
a wide, black felt, rolled at the edges,
almost the exact pattern of the
white straw hat worn in JalisCo to-
day. And there are other styles of
Spanish hat, which are reflected in
the straw Mexican combreros, and
even the Mexican felt and wool
sombreros with their rich silver and
gold braid or embroideries.
The Mexican Indian. though, had
always used a woven straw hat. 1t
served to protect him from the sun.
it's curled brim made it useful for
carrying fruits or vegetables, when
his hdndS were OtnerWlSe occupied,
and during rain it solved him almost
as usefully as an umbrella.
After the Spanish had conquered
the country the shape Of the SOM
brero began to assume some of the
Spanish style. Even today one con-
versant with Mexican costumes can
tell what section of the country a
man comes from (unless he is from a
city and wearing the ubiquitous
American felt by the shape and
size of his sombrero and by how he
wears it.
Size has always been an impor-
tant factor, though. In fact, at one
time in Guadalajara the sombrero
began growing to such width that
wearers had to tip it in order to
enter streetcars or narrow doors.
This was too much. In 1908 the
state clapped a tax on every hat
which exceeded a certain width.
For a while the tax brought in a
good deal of change, but then man S
vanity gave way to his economy, and
now the sombrero is more or less
standard.

 The new hit is . comedy that will positively have you in stitches from the opening to the final scene. In addition to the many hilarious scenes the film Is crarnned with action and thrills of the true Gag ney-O O'Brien manner.

O'Brien and Cagney are cast as rough and ready plantation bosses, while Miss Sher- ldan portrays e torch singer from the States, who comes to the trop- les because she figures redheads will be more of Q novelty there. Most of the action revolves around o'Drien's efforts to keep Cagney in the tropics, Cagney's efforts to get rid of Miss Sheridan, and her ef- forts to land Cagney.
 Besides the stars already named the cast includes such notables as Andy Devine, George Tobias, George Reeves, Victor Kilian and John Ridgely.
