THE HAT MAKES THE GIRL Her coat may be swagger,
 Her suit nicely tailored, But the choice bit of her getup
 Is her hat jauntily sailored. Granted her twin print IS natty,
 Her red shoes stared at, Her gloves all they should be,
 But the main item is her hat She wears a sports outfit
 Like nobody's business, Her accessories are an. eyeful
 But her hat has a dizziness. Watch her as she minces
 Tn high heels pit-a-pat, She looks like a page from Vogue,
 Especially so her hat. Her outfit may be elegant,
 We'll let 1t go at that, But when you size her up It's by the set of her hat. Which makes or breaks her,
 With eyebrows showing or hid, Oh, 70 very much depends On the slant, of her lid.

Two Auto Companies
Exhibit Fruits Of

By DAVID J. WILKIE,

Associated Press Automotive EDITOR.
DETROIT, Sept 9.-Two more
units of the Nations motorcar in
dustry that is devoting much of its
productive capacity to rearmament
showed some of the fruits of their
efforts today in private demonstra-
tiens to newspaper and trade mags-
zine writers.
Briggs Manufacturing Company,
one of the largest of the independent
automobile body manufacturers de-
voted its showing primarily to q
demonstration of how it has ap-
piled the mass production methods
of the car industry to the making
of aircraft sub-assemblies. Already
in volume output of airplane and
seaplane sections, Briggs describes
itself as probably the first company
in the automobile industry to reach
full production on airplane as
semblies.

In the new $40, ,0O0, 900 naval
arsenal built and fooled by the Hud-
son Motor Car Company volume

craft guns and other items of de-

ties presentation with a showing of

feet of floor space. The total num-
Der of the smaller a1ti-aircraft guns
to be produced by Hudson was not
disclosed, but one company repre-
sentative said ''the number is al
most fantastic"
Total defense awards to Hudson
exceed $70,000,000. Besides the prod

parts for the new Wright 2,000-
horsepower Cyclone airplane engines
as well as aircraft sections.
Cars SubOfdinated.
Hudson representatives emphasized
again today in presenting the new
passenger vehicles that all car pro-
duction has been subordinated to
defense work The company, how
ever, has been allocated a total pas
senger car output for the 1912 model
year of $500 units, a curtailment
of approximately q per cent from

Failure 10 Expand
Smaller Factories
Is DepIored
Emphasis on Larger
Companies Regarded
As Defense Defect
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Failure Of
small and medium sized companies
to expand production facilities was
called a serious defect of the Ma
tion's defense program by Leonard
c. Yaseen, factory locating en-
gineer, here today.
Small concerns, YaSeen said, were
the very backbone of the defense ef-
fort. OF the $4,000 manufacturers
in the United States, he said, only
one-half of per cent employed
more than 1000 persons.
The small number of giant indus
trial companies, however, were doing
most of the new plant construction.
Yaseen. Eastern manager of the
Fantus Factory Locating Service,
said the little fellows reluctance
to expand was based, at least in
part, on fallacy.
One manufacturer, he said, told
him: Il am taking all the defense
contracts I can safely fill in my pres
ent plant and no more. They'll be
giving moor space away Wnen the
shooting is over"
That small businessman is going
to be disillusioned; the big COM
panieS expect to use those plants
themselves, he said.
Yaseen summed up big business
comment as: IF any one is going to
use our new plant, we are. 1t has
been designed for our purpose and
we anticipate giving up our older
production facilities first when the
time for selection and elimination
arrives
If the United States Is to exert it's
maximum effort. the engineer said,
steps must be taken to bring the
small manufacturing concerns into
its proper orbit.
"An equally serious problem will
arise In the viciously competitive
postwar period" Yaseen continued.
Plant modernization, production
improvement and more efficient fab
rication methods should be under
taken now before it is too late"

Foreign Traders GET
Headache as u. ).
Takes Control
Pacific Shipments Soar,
But Business Stops
For Many Firms
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. g.
Pacific Coast foreign traders are
getting an enormous headache out
of the war.
But no one would guess it to look
at the foreign trade figures.
Trade goes on well enough to
make dollar totals run so close TO
normal that no life-and-death
drama would be suspected. Yet the
business Of many small traders has
vanished. Some have had to earn
bread and butter In new fields.
Uncle Sam has become the big
trader. Under lease-lend, and under
defense buying of strategic stocks
from abroad, he has taken over a
great share of this coasts foreign
trade.
That does not show in trade re-
ports of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. The bureau
reported yesterday June trade was
ahead of last year on both import
and export business.
But where increases appeared. the
foreign traders said 1t was Uncle
Sam who was doing the increas-
ed business. Government agencies
bought for export and for import.
The shippers are going TO meet here
next week to discuss means of saw
ing their businesses through the
emergency period.
West Coast exports in June totaled
S26 .637,111.
Exports totaled s25, ,424,7s5 for the
same amount of 1910, but the

The West Coast normally exports
more than 1t imports, but stock pile

trend.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. g.
Banks making consumer credit
loans were urged to comply fully
with the spirit as well as the letter
Of the regulations laid down by the
Federal Reserve Board to curb ex-
cessive expansion of consumer
credit, by Walter B. French, deputy
manager Of the American Bankers
Association, in an address before a
meeting Of the Iowa Bankers Asso-
citation here today.
Whether or not the regulations
will prove fully successful in cur
failing the demand for the products
of industry that draw upon the Ma
tion's supply of raw materials used
for defense production, or in check
ing inf1ationary tendencies produced
by rapidly mounting pay rolls and
wages, remain yet to be determined
Mr.. French asserted.
However, he declared, "as long as
these and subsequent regulations to
govern the granting of consumer
credit remain in force, bankers are
urged TO comply With the very spirit
OF the order. to the end that the
Federal Reserve Board may have in
the banking fraternity not only q
large consumer credit lender that
understands its task fully, but also
lender that is ready and willing
to give full cooperation.
"The Federal Reserve Board is
perhaps the best qualified of all gov
ernmental agencies to submit and
administer the regulations, because
the members of the board are
familiar with all the credit needs
of the country, both public and pri-
vate. This agency more than any
other should recognize that too great
contraction of consumer credit
would have an adverse effect upon
employment and business generally
and in many cases would work a
hardship on the consumer himself -
Mr.. French declared.
only the actual experience of
operating under the regulations will
indicate whether the terms are
practical to lenders and satisfactory
to the Federal Reserve Board in ac-
complishing the aims and purposes
of the Presidents executive order"
he added.
THE regulations issued thus far
by the Federal Reserve Board would
appear to be fair and should result
in no undue hardship to either bor-
rowers or lenders and yet, in the
light of current terms. the regula-
tions do represent definite curtail-
ment.
While 1t is recognized that In
times of national emergency many
sacrifices are necessary for the COM
mon good, at the same time We be-
heve it is important that no regu-
lations be issued that would work
an undue hardship on either lender
or borrower. Installment lending Is
now . definite part of our economy
and hundreds Of thousands OF con-
sumers have become accustomed to
using some form of consumer credit
periodically to supply their needs in
goods and services. Too great a
contraction at any time would oper-
ate primarily against those of small
income"
