YOU MAY TREASURE
A BATTERED STRAW
GBy Associated PressD

ST. LOUIS, April 12.-The
smart man will not throw his
straw hat on the baseball dia-
mond this summer or pitch the
old bonnet in the trash can.
He may have to wear it an
other season-and like it.
The reason is that the straw
hat industry-another war victim
-forsees difficulty in getting
materials for the 1912 crop.
Manufacturers here say the
shortage may even be noticed at
the retail counter this summer.
although most manufacturers had
placed orders from Is months to
two years ahead.
Materials for most straw hats.
even the very cheapest. are i'm
ported. The bulk comes from the
Orient or other areas involved in
the war.

WASHINGTON, April H.
President Roosevelt today con-
ferred with administration lead
ers in Congress and announced he
would ask for purchase of Danish
ships in this country on Mon
day.
Following on the heels of the
Presidents declaration that the
Red Sea and Gulf of Alden are
now open to American shipping,
his plan for purchase of the Dan
ish ships which were seized last
week is believed to be the fore
runner of new aid to the Allies

After studying plans for an in
crease in American ship building
capacity, President Roosevelt pre-
dicted that in 1912. this country
will be producing from 3Iz mil

Streets, Stores And Resi-
dences VIII Be Decor
ated For Big Event
Starting April q

Key West must decorate its
streets and store fronts for the
American Legion state conven-
tion because of the advertising
value that will come from that
decoration. Albert Mills. execu-
tive director of the Key West Con-
vention corporation. said today.
Representatives of the Finch
Decorating company are in The
city making contracts for the
decorations and they should be
given every encouragement. Mills
said.
THE American Legion's state
convention will be the first con-
vShtion of that magnitude that
has ever chosen Key West as its
meeting place, Mills said. 1.-The
city should be literally decorated
to present gala and dressed-u
appearance.
THE decorations are very rea-
sonable. If the shop owner had
to buy his own decorations and
put them up and tear them down
the cost would be many times
what the Finch company is charg-
ing.
THE members of Arthur Saw
yer Post No. % and the Key West
Convention corporation have
worked hard to make this con-
vention grand success. II will
be a grand success, if the streets
are properly decorated.
In every other city in the state
that has had the state convention
of the American Legion they have
made a special effort to decorate
the streets, the store fronts and
the private dwellings. Most of
those cities looked wonderfully
bright and clean.
How is Key West? We don't
want to fall down on the job.
There are some stores that have
ordered decorations and some
that have not. Those that have
not will suffer greatly by COM
parison with those that have.
I'VE cannot fall down on dec
orations. for 5000 or more men
and women of the American Lee
gion will be here for four days and
they will notice the effort the city
has put forward to string flags
and bunting"

with the urgent necessity of keeping
the Russian Army fighting. The
latter aspect is lone of the most
vital Importance" he said.
He discussed three routes to Rus
STA, beginning with the route that
would terminate at Archangel. This
would require a long naval convoy
through the ice in which the ships
would be vulnerable to attack. This
route, despite its disadvantages. still
seems the best prospect, Secretary
Knox said.
The second route mentioned was
the pathway to Vladivostok, which
he said likely would lead to COLI
sion"
The third route would lead
through Iran and would include a
sea voyage of $4,000 miles. At the
end of the long voyage transporta-
ton on land would be inhibited by
poor railroads, 1t was said Mr.. Knox
explained that it would be neces-
sary to rebuild many of the rail
facilities.

told of a visit he made recently to
an aircraft engine manufacturing
plant, in which divisions had been
pitted against each other in COM
petitions to increase production.
The winning division had increased
its output some II per cent, the Sec
rotary said. adding that it was due
to the "old time, sandlot baseball
spirit" that is inherent in Ameri-
cans.
Secretary KnoX's statement on
the Far East dangers was regarded
as the most definite and outspoken
of any description of the situation
there by high Government official.
