A man handles his hat in the company of others more often than any other thing he wears. It thus more easily becomes the subject of conversa- tion. That means he gets more opportunity for pride in the possession of a good hat than in any other article of his dress.
A "GLYN" HAT
made by the famous firm of Glyn & Co., 44, Old Bond Street, London, IS A SURE WINNER- when compared with other makes. The Quality of the Fur, the trimmings and other minor details make the "Glyn" a better product.

The court--consisting of Lords Justices Greer, Slesser, and Scott allowed an appeal by the owners of the motor vessel This was against the decision of Mr. Justice Branson in the King's Division" who upheld an arbitration award by Sir W.

Sergeant stall, prosecuting, stated that Hut Yu-kong, one of the witnesses, was walking past 39, Leighton Hill Road when he saw the first complainant chase after the defendant. He joined in the chase and defendant was ap- prehended atfer a long run. Most of the property was recovered from pawn shops later.
It was revealed that the delen- dant resided above the first com plainant's address and had lower- ed himself into the lower fat by means of a rope to carrying out the thefts.

Lord Justice Blesser, giving Judgment, with which Lord Justice Scott agreed, said it had been argued that the salvage agree- ment must he read as applying only to the service of the com- mander or crew of the warships. In his view this contention failed. His "lordship agreed that the court had no jurisdiction to en- tertain a claim for services which had been mentioned as excluded by the Merchant Shipping Acts. Mr. Justice Branson, he said, was in error in applying the principles
"contracting out" to this case.
