JEEP HAT!
You all know what a Jeep is—and you all know what a Hat is— and when you put the two ideas together— you get a swell topper for a noggin'—male or female.
The JEEP HAT is patterned after the Army’s fatigue hat— the namesake of the famous Jeep on Wheels —it (the hat) can be knocked into many shapes—and still come up looking like a hat. It’s made of a very fine, PUTTY -colored, water-resistant p oplin —with taped insi seams. e brim, cut wider at the front, gives a nice turn down— with a narrowed back for a snappy kick up— it's stitched heavily so that it stays in shape through many soakings.
Whether the JEEP will adorn long curls (on the girls, of course)—or alight on the top of a new crew haircut—the effect will be equally as. » favorable to the wearer,

In the telegram to the railroad executive, Governor Green denounced “indiscriminate gunplay” and called for an investigation. of the tragedy. “Indiscriminate gunplay is not the way either to settle a labor dispute or to protect property rights,” the governor wired Mr. McNear, At Peoria, W. C. Keiser, international vice president of the union, said he had postponed temporarily efforts to secure a murder warrant against Mr. McNear, pending further investigation. Mr, Keiser charged that the pickets had not been armed and had been ‘shot down in cold blood” when they threw stones and jeered at the train guards. He said the victims had died as a result of gunshot wounds in the back. State police said that an empty revolver holster had been found on the body of Arthur W. Browne, 39, one of the slain unionists. Sheriff Earl Richards said, however, that a careful search of the men had disclosed no weapons.
EXPLOSION ROCKS DOWNTOWN LONDON
LONDON, Feb. 8 (U. P).—A heavy explosion at the site of the “Donald Duck” bomb excavation in St. James park today rattled the windows of Buckingham Palace, the house of commons and the meeting place of the United Nations.
The explosion was caused by the buried bomb's fuse and the TNT used to destroy it.” The bomb itself was neutralized last night when jets of steam melted out its internal organs. Nobody was killed plosion, A black smoke cloud billowed above central London, and the noise echoed over a large area.
United Nations delegates In committee meetings at Church house, near Westminster Abbey, were startled by the noontime explosion. They were quickly reassured and continued their sessions. Several timbers shoring up the excavation which had been dug 30 feet down through the St. James park duck pond to the buried bomb were hurled into the air by the explosion.
