A CHANCE FOR PATRIOTIC AMERI- CAN COMPOSERS, The United States the Only Country With No Distinctive National Air «The World's National Anthems, According to Professor John P.

Under the hat is worn a head band and 8 cap. The hat, the cap and the head band are worn together the day of the death, at the funeral and at the expiration of the first and second years of mourning. At other times during the mourning period the head band alone is worn. The mourning robe is made of a coarse hemp cloth similar to that of which the hat and screen are made, but with ex- tremely large meshes.
