DISTINCTIVE HATS BY
HENRY HEATH
From our experience we know that the Hat creates the greatest difficulty for most men. There are so many variations in the shape of the Hat, the type of features and the colour of the complexion to be dealt with, that most men are appreciative of a little expert guidance in the difficult matter of selection.

Mr. Wilkinson, who. denied, the charge, said he was not in the car at the time, but bad left the vehicle. correctly parked, against the aids of the cut-out.
Inspector Alexander: It is sug. gested that someone interfered with the car and moved it.
To facilitate the task of the higher command, such an officer is deemed necessary, says an import ant official of the National Govern ment.
The rumour that either General Hau Chung Chi or General Chen Tsai Tong has been assigned to such post is stated to be premature.
