HATS MADE AT NIGHT
Sunshine Makes the Straw for Panamas
Too Brittle to Work
Genuine Panama hats are made in
Ecuador to a larger extent than in any
other country, and the process of manu
facture is still not generally known.
The chief centers of the hat industry
in the order of their importance are
Monticristi and Jipijapa, in the prov
ince of Manavi; Santa Rosa and to a
limited extent in Guayaquil and Cuen
ca. Thousands of natives of both
sexes are employed at weaving these
hats. The work is carried on from, a
little after midnight to 7 o'clock in
the morning, while the atmosphere. is
humid, for the strfcw becomes brittle
during the day an 4 cannot then be
handled.
After much preliminary preparation
the straw is very finely divided into
the required -widths bv the nail of the
little finger or thumb. A hunch of
ptraw is bound in the middle and placed
in the center of a wooden mold, the
Htraws arranged radially and equally
distant from each other in pairs. The
■plaiting begins at the apex of the
crown ami continues round and round
until the hat is finished, care being ta
ken that 110 straws are added while tfhe
crown is being made. Other straws,
however, are added while the brim and
border are being formed. On the de
cree of nicety -with which the straws
are lengthened depends the beauty and
durability of the hat. Should a strand
be broken it can be replaced and so
plaited as not to be noticed.
The finishing touches are put on by
trimming the brim, edging the border
and neatly fastening all projecting
ends of the straws so as to be invisible.
The hat is washed in clean, cold water,
coated with a thin solution of gum and
polished with dry sulphur.—Argonaut.
PANAMA RIOTS QUELLED
American Soldiers Patrol Bad Light
District and All la Quirt
Panama, Feb. 16.—There has been
110 renewal of the rioting at Sunday in
the red light district of Panama, in
■which one man was killed' and more
than 40 wounded. As a precautionary
measure a patrol of 50 American sol
diers was maintained in the district yes
terday. American soldiers coming to
the city are being seat back to their
camp.
An autopsy on the body of the man
who was killed early S<unda<y morning
shows thJPt the wound which caused his
death came from a 32-calibre bullet.
The soldiers who took part in the disor
der had only target rifles, shooting 22-
caliibre bullets, which they took from
neighboring shooting gtaHeiries. The dead
man is said now to hav e been a Costa
Rio an. Investigation aipparently has
established the fact that the shooting
was started by Panaman civilians, who
■were joined by the Panama police with
their high-powered rifles. The police,
however, shot only a few rounds.

Toung Woman's Condition a Mystery
to Her Physicians
Merehantville, N. J., Feib. 16.—Medi
cal men are greatly interested in the
case of Miss Inez Lewis, 18 years old,
who recently was taken ill at school
near West Chester and for 10 days was
unconscious. She was brought to her
home in that condition anil the attend
ing physician did not expect her to
survive. Home one tapped the keys of
a piano and the notes seemed to cause

knowledge of her surroundings. The
physician was told of this and had a
musician called in to pliay some o>f tho
music that the patient liked best. The
effect was such that the girl spoke a
few words.

hands made to strike a few notes and
when in this semi-conscious condition
she played a number of pieces of music.
The physicians of the town have been
watching her improvement and say that
they are unable to fathom how the
girl in her condition can plav the piano.

plotters, but he did give the naunes of
four men who, lie said, were making
the bombs, throe of them having lost
their lives at the timo.of the explosion.
The fourth man, an Irishman, whom
Berkman knew only as Murphy, w»»
Mown through the front of the building
ami landed in a network of telegraph
wires, liually reaching the ground un
hurt.
Plotted in Spirit of Vengeance
"The plot against the lives of the
Riockefelllers,'' said Berkman, "was
originated in a spirit of vengeance for
th» brutality visited upon the 1. W. W.
worker- at Tarrytown last summer,
when we went up there to protest
against the outrages that brought on
the battle of Ludlow. It was hatched
by the conspirators after free speech
had been virtually cut off bv the ac
tivity of the Rockefeller guards and
shortly before Rockefeller took perma
nent refuge in his Forest Hill home
at Cleveland.
"Prior to the elder Rockefeller's
flight to Cleveland there had been sev
eral big demonstrations in front of his
office at 26 Broadway, which Rockefel
ler had finally sought to avoid by re
maining behind the walls of liis estate
at Tarrytown, N. V.
"'About twenty-five or thirty anarch
ists, among them the man named Mur
phy, Arthur Caron, iMivtthew Kahn.
Charles Berg and myself all of whom
had participated in the demonstration
in New York City, followed him there.
As is well known now. we literally laid
a siege to the Rockefeller place," with
the result that both the father and
the son employed an army of guards to
protest them. They had about 250 spe
cial officers to perform this duty, arc.l
old John D. even had another wail built
around his property.
"With all approaches to the Rocke
feller plaice cut off. we then commenced
to make public speeches against the
Rockefellers on the street corners, at
the gates of his guarded estate and
wherever we got a chance. This method
of procedure led to a campaign of re
pression and finally to a brutal attack
upon the meimoers'of our organization.
Several of them were terribly beaten,
among them Caron and Kalin, both
ardent young men. It was this attack
evidently that determined those men
upon seeking personal vengeance upon
the Rockefellers. But thev took no one
into their confidence except Murphv
and Berg, as far as I know. I did not
know anything of their plans until after
the bomb had exploded.
Wanted to Kill Both at Once
"When they were driven out of Tar
rytown, Murphy. Berg. Caron and Kahn
went back to New York.
"They rented an apartment there,
at Lexington avenue and One Hundred
and Thirty-third street, and there be
gan the manufacture of the bomb that
was meant for the Rockefellers.
''They had no definite idea when
they would use it, but it was their plan
to wait for an op;ortunity ami hurl it
into the carriage or automobile of the
Rockefellers whenever they should at
tempt to leave the grounds' of the Tar
rytown estate. They wanted to get
both of them together, if possible, but
would have taken the life of either one.
I do not know what their bomb
was made of, but the damage it did
when it burst prematurely won I, I seem
to indicate that they made it as deadly
as they could. According to the state
ments since made to me by Murphy,
they had the bomb almost finished when
it exploded, killing Kahn. Caron and
Berg, .the three who were nearest to it
at the time.''

Heat, Humidity and Working Power
What constitutes a vitiated atmo
sphere, and wherein are the depressing
effects of "bad" aid' to be found? Of
late, temperature an,l humidity rather
than abnormal quantities of "the re
spired gases, carbon dioxid and oxygen,
or the presence of harmful expired or
ganic products of respiration, have
been held responsible for the untoward
consequences of living under conditions
of poor ventilation. Drs. Lee ati'l
Scott, of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons at Columbia University, have
recently reported definite cbjective
signs erf physical inefficiency in individ
uals subjected to an atmosphere of
high humidity and high temperature.
Measurements were made on the work
ing capacity, that is, the .total amount
of work which excised muscles of ani
mals are capable of doing before ex
haustion sets in. The subjects were
kept, to cite a specific illustration, at
21 C. (69.8 F.), with an approximate
humidity of 54 per cent., in one case,
and at 33 C. (91.4 F.), with a humidity
of 89 per cent., in the other. The con
trasts here quoted represent the dis
tinctions beitween comfortable atmo
spheric conditions and the air of a hot,
humid summer day. As an outcome
there was a marked diminution in both
the amount of work performed and the
period of working power under the in
fluence of high temperature and
itv. Under these conditions, further
more, the body temperature also rose
someiwlia't. The facts thus cited in the
opinion otf "The Journal of the Ameri
can Medical AJsociation" confirm by
the unbiased testimony of direct ex
periment whait • the sensations and
psychic responses of man h^velong
since intimated.

Keep a Firm Haud on the Tiller
The sails of boats are our emotions,
the'rudders are our characters. Our
sails are breathed upon by gentle
zephyrs of affection and inclination, of
hope and love and of hate. They are
torn by sudden gusts of passion. Wo
are blown hither and yon by conflict
of quarreling winds, driven from our
course by angry squalls. The only
force by means of which we can coun
teract the effect of the winds and hold
our course is the rudder of character.
We know that we shall be blown
upon all our lives by various influences,
good and bad; that our emotions—-
those white sails that respond to every
breeze —will be played upon by every
human appeal and desire. What will
