Tho raids, which wera made at a time when things seemed peaceful and quiet, besides belnij- the most Important yet un dertaken, are likely to bo far reaching In .their results. i Philadelphia, It was learned, Is regarded by Government authorities as the hot bed of tho Illegal "dope" tradlc throughout the wholo, country, and expert chemists and "dope" experts nreTh this city from San Francisco, Chicago and Kansas City, to co-operate In the Government crusade to stamp It out, , It ls understood that one or more physicians nro to be Implicated as a direct result of today's raid.

It filled three suitcases, a score of large and smajr packages, complete lay outs, needles, quills, toys, sniffers and minute scales, such as are used by expert dope peddlers, and which' are said to be marvels of human Ingenuity.

Straw hats by the thousand dotted this arena today for the Penn-IIarvard base ball game, the I'enn-Dartmouth dual track meet and the Penn-Swarthmore lacrosse game. Dy twos and threes, by tens and twenties, by hundreds and hundreds they came, filling the tiers of 'seats. They blazed vhlte In the sun around the oval. '.hey sparkled and scintillated. Triumphantly they proclaimed that today was Straw Hat Day. Henceforth, until the fogs of autumn descend upon the I uruwii cm in, jci iiu man wear if nai save it be or straw, What mattered It If the Dartmouth and the Ited and lllue track, heroes grappled In Penn's first dual meet of the season? What mattered It If the fast-fleldlng Har vard baseball nine, wearing the laurels of last year's Intercollegiate champions, opened a cannonade against Old Penn with their bludgeons, while the great Mahan, with Whitney and Qarrltt, basked in the admiring gaze of the Crimson fol lowers? It was Straw Hat Day and all eyes were upon the straw hats. And malevolent looks were caet at the derbies and soft hats of winter. More than that, from Penn students' throats barked the war cry. "Get that hat !" and the crunch of derblgs, dying miserable deaths, arose on every hand. Destruction glared from the eyes of the self-appointed hat censors, and destruction was abroad In the land. Like the head-hunting Pyaks, the hat-hunters gloated over the carnage. He who had $3 or $2 or $1 50, or even 11 wore a straw hat today. He who had walked up Chestnut street this morning with- brown felt headgear quickly under went the necessary metamorphosis before he showed his face on Franklin Field. There were sennets. Canton splits, Milan and Porto Illcan; there were sawtooth and cable-edges, and pineapple braids and fancy weaves; from this spot gleamed a yellow Leghorn; from, that modestly blushed a, brownish Bangkok. There was one yedda, hat of tubular straw of the vintage ot 1811. its wearer had, for some weeks, neglected his barber and his tailor, If he had one, presumably was starving.
