Silly Style Claims Men's Hats This Year
Men have always had to put up with some rather "wacky" feminine hats, but this season the tables are turned. Reports from New York stylists show that men are going in for extremes.
One style shows the influence of our close relations with South America. The Guatemalan band, woven by the Mayan Indians in nature colors, is making a tento
Even automobiles are having their influence on men's chapeau. The two-toned motor car featured at the automobile shows this year brought out a two-toned felt with crown and brim in contrasting colors.
To top it all off, there are "he and she hats." Men must be going distinctly feminine, for these are twin hats—one for the girl and one for the boy friend. One stylist reports seeing twins in telescopes, pork pies, derbies, and felt caps. Men will remember the "off the face" hats worn by women a season or two ago. These are now being shown in twin chapeaux.
Another style can be termed as "mix your own." This consists of individual hat bands which can be changed to suit the color combination that you wish to wear.
At last women can wear their lampshades, pill-boxes, and pancakes in peace.
Alien Antecedents Do Dog No Good
Hollywood, Dec 4—(UP)—Melvyn Douglas is instituting a one-man crusade in behalf of man's best friend. The screen star thinks something should be done for dogs of alien antecedents, dogs whose names are inevitably associated with the land where they first were bred.
"Just as the lowly hamburger became the lofty Liberty sandwich and Germania Halls throughout the land became Liberty Halls, dogs with foreign names were innocent victims of misunderstanding," the actor said.
Douglas, making his discourse on dogs on the set of Columbia's comedy, "This Thing Called Love," wants to do something to prevent a recurrence of the mass hysteria in the future.
Recalling the first World War Douglas points out that such dogs as the Doberman-Pinscher, the Dachshund, the German Shepherd and the Schnauzer were almost friendless in the United States, and little care was taken in their breeding because there was no market for their sale.
"We know, from foreign dispatches," he continued, "that in some warring nations dogs are being killed because food for them is scarse. If the war hails for years, many breeds
will be wiped out in those nations. It is up to America to perpetuate these breeds, to make certain that they do not become extinct.
Authorized Parties
"I've talked to men who have devoted their lives to bettering certain breeds. They tell me that already many dogs, with alien names, are becoming a drug on the market, that prices are being cut and takers are few.

"Those dogs are just as lovable today as they were three years ago," he added. "They are just as efficient, just as loyal, just as friendly. And, don't forget, they're American-born."
