1925 LAUGHS AT HATS
WORN BY MEN IN 1825
BERLIN, April 4.—Men’s hats of
olden clays afforded the Berlin public
much amusement during the recent
exhibit of clothing, held to contrast
the styles of the last 100 years with
the styles of today.
High hats, much taller than those
worn today, and as shaggy as a New
foundland dog, appeared in the win
dows of many haberdashers. Curious
straw hats loaned by museums also
produced broad smiles among the
Throngs which gathered about show
windows. Many of these were shap
ed like old-fashioned silk hats, and
were made of bamboo and oriental
grasses.

Keep Shovels of Silver
And Trowels of Gold
NEW YORK, Apr. 4.—What be
comes of sold trowels after use at
cornerstone layings, or of silver
picks and shovels after being used
to break ground for some new fane
or public work? These commemora
tive tools almost invariably end up
in the archives or strong rooms of
the institutions concerned, where
they are carefully preserved, say
manufacturing jewelers in answer to
questions arising since Mayor Hylan
recently used silver to turn the first
earth for a new subway division.
Jewelers say these implements de
luxe could scarcely be thrown aside
or melted up again, their material
and artistic, as "Well as sentimental
value, being too high.
A gold trowell, for all it has but a
few brief minutes of actual use, costs
as much as $1,500, according to the
price lists. Silver trowels command
$150; silver-plated, $50. A pick or
shovel fashioned out of solid silver
would stand any committee open
ing day arrangements a good $800;
even a plated tool cost $150.
Though the metal itself might be
reclaimed, jewelers say, not so the
art work the best-of these souvenirs
represent. The chased work and en
graving, the latter giving names of
dignitaries and an inscription of the
event, reveal workmanship of a high
order and would make them prized
among collectors.
As proof of sentimental worth, jew
elers report that gold trowe ? used at
tne laying of cornerstones of church
es. ait usually placed afterward with
ihe old communion sets. Sometimes,
in cases of establishments which out
grow a first expansion and have oc
casion to solemnize a second corner

Bill Considered to Permit
Suit Against The Crown
LONDON, April 4.—The historic
British law which provides that the
Crown may not be sued will be dis
cussed in Parliament in the near fu
ture when a bill is introduced call
ing for its alteration.
A committee of jurists has prepar
ed an outline of the bill which would
knock out the ancient law altogether.
The proposal as considered by the
jurist is that the Crown should be as
liable as any other employer for act
committed within the scope of an em
ployer’s authority.

Unwelcome Riches Drive
Modest Veteran to Texas
EL DORADO, April 4.—Oil, the
liquid gold of fiction, is a fugitive
among minerals and more often than
not eludes man, but not “Uncle Nap”
Drown. Uncle Nap is the fugitive.
Twice oil has overwhelmed him with
added riches and now he has what
he hopes is a haven, a farm in Tex
as, where oil has not been struck,
yet.
Napoleon Bonaparte Brown, 80
years old, a veteran of the Confed
eracy, worth $500,000, and owner of
nine automobiles, has been trying to
escape the “flowing gold” by moving
from farm to farm.
First Uncle Nap, as he is affec
tionately known, moved from the old
homestead in the south oil field. 20
wells with as many shrieking and
pumping engines, drove him to seek
peace and quiet on another farm four
miles east of this city. Then hard
ly had a crop been planted when
the fields intended to bloom with
corn and cotton, became the scene
of another rush. Soon 17 wells and
17 pumping engines set up their roar
| and rush.
Then he chose Gaines county. Tex
as, near the Seminole reservation, as
a haven. Here with 800 acres of
land on which oil has not been dis
covered, as yet, he gets away from
“civilization” as he whimsically calls
that which strikin goil brings to
people.
Uncle Nap, despite his age, he was
born February 14, 1845, at Lauder
dale, Miss., walks with the swing of
youth. “I am good for twenty years
more,” he declared. He served in
the Fourth Louisiana Confederate ar
my.
