sels rushed to the rescue as the Congress
raced toward the beach. As she neared the
shore observers could see her rails packed
with humanity, huddled there for safety,
while long tongues of flame shot skyward
from all parts of, the vessel.
At 4;3Q. Just an hour and a half after
the flames "were discovered, tho ship drop
ped anchor and the Mlchle and Tlllamock
began transferring the passengers and
crew, Thl3i waa , completed In less than
three hours Without a single mishap. Cap
lafh Cousins was the last to leave his ship.
He said It hal been Impossible to learn the

WANING SUMMER BIDS GOOD-BY
TO STRAW HAT AS THE BELL RINGS
Today Marks the Official Exit of Frail Headgear Much
of it Haa Weathered the Campaign Started
in the Merry Month of May
"Good by. summer."
It Is the farenell of the straw hat.
Today the frail headgear makts Its offi
cial exit.
Many nre bronied and weary from a
strenuous summer campaign.
Some have been In constant action since
early May, tind Ihey look It
A straw hat new and natty looks as
fresh as n brecje from the west, hut ft
J'raw hat droopy and tired nnd suffering
from umm,cr ennui alas, what a spec
tacle! It Is neither white norj brown In
color Nor Is It salmon pink or orange
but a mottled conglomeration of Indefinite
plotches What words can picture Its pro
found humiliation. It polons the picture
of any fashion parade, it Is a, blot on
stvle's escutcheon It Is fitting then that It
should be banished.
Some who bought Panamas, or near Pana
mas, will make them work ttvo seasons In
order to get the worth of their money,
hlrnw hats begin to look worried as soon as
the scent of the oyster (Ills tho autumnal
nlr.
And when the leaves turn brown they
know It's only a matter of days.
Hut It must be so.
Imagine what life would be If men wore
strnw hats all jear. Many would stick to
them until they (tho hats) collapsed Into
shavings nbout their necks. ,
And jet many men today defied the Idea
of the strnw hat bell. They scoffed nnd
they spluttered, and shook their flts when
some one Informed them It was the last
of the straws.
Alleged college boys on Chestnut street
smashed the hats of their chums for the
laughs they get from onlookers. Brokers
on the Stock Exchange also Indulge In this
Indoor sport
And so the feeling Is universal that the
strnw hat must go or be forced out on
strikes.
In round nurnbers. there are now about
600.000 straw hats lingering on the heads
of wandering Phllndelphtans.
Why not be practical and turn them to
some use. They could be woven Into rugs.
turned Into toothpicks, or even made Into
baskets and given to poor housewives.
Or, as It Is quite proper to encourage the
spirit of preparedness, why not extract the
chemicals from the prostrated hats and
make gunpowder?
