Jan. 28.—The smart four gallon busby that tops off the full dress uniform of British guardsmen and delights the feminine contingent that never fails to be interested in the picturesque ceremony of guard mount at Buckingham Palace, has been copied by London milliners, in a miniature bearskin hat that prom ises to be popular at the winter style shows. The new hat fits closely over the ears and is held in place by a regulation military chin strap. Another innovation for the winter, this time in footwear, is the use of ostrich skin for shoes. The skins are dyed brown and the holes from which the feathers have been pluck ed assume a deeper shade, adding an effective decorhtion. One London bootmaker lias been showing shoes made from walrus hide, and is ex perimenting with the skin of the ray lish, which he thinks will prove suc cessful for footwear. FREIGHT CHARGES HAVE ONLY SLIGHT BEARING ON LIVESTOCK PRICES WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Freight charges on livestock shipments were declared today by the bureau of rail road economics to bear little relation to the price the purchaser pays for livestock while the producer or sel ler at point of shipment receives net proceeds of 91 2-5 cents on each dollar.

GIBBONS MAYS FACE CHAMPION IN MAY; WILLS WANTS BOUT NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—The 1925 fistic calendar holds prospects for a more interesting campaign than last year, but peciuliar circumstances sur rounding several divisions may again prove a barren to title activity. The most attractive outlook for the new year hinges on the probability that J^ck Dempsey will risk his ti tle for the first time since his meet ing with Louis Firpo in September, 1923. The heavyweight champion may take on two opponents, Tommy Gibbons and Hafry Willis. Gibbons probably would face the champion in May or June, with Wills, providing no other candidates jump up in the fore, reserved for a climax to the outdoor season in September. Promising ma terial is bristling in most of the other divisions, particularly among the light heavyweight and middleweights. Few champions appear anxious to run un due risks. Middleweight Champion Harry Greb faces formidable foes in Tiger Flow ers, Atlanta negro, and Jack Delaney. Kid Kaplan, recently crowned as featherweight king, promises to keep up active work, with Bobby Garcia, Mike Dundee and Babe Herman among his most dangerous foes. LONDON PLANS BIG GARAGES LONDON, Jan. 28.—Another con templated American innovation for slowmoving and slowchanging old London, is a plan to build a number of super-garages of several stories and each accommodating fiom 200 to 500 motorcars. At present there are few large garages in London and few car owners drive into the city. HURLING HAM CLUB TO ENTERTAIN POLO PLAYERS LONDON, Jan. 28.—The Hurling ham Polo Club has invited represen tatives of the American army to be guests of the club during their stay in England next year, says the Polo Monthly. “It is expected,” says the magazine, “that the American army team will arrive in England in May, and great interest will attach to their matches against the British army whom they defeated so unexpectedly in the lT. S. last year. It is at least, certain that Sir Harold Snagge will spare no effort, with the assistance of Lt. Colonel Scott-Duff, to give the Am erican soldiers a very agreeable time during their visit to this country. The inter-army matches at Hurlingham I promise to be the most attractive fea ture of next season’s nolo.” CAN USE A FEW MORE CUS TOMERS AT THE 0. K .BARBER SHOP.

While before the war Berlin had two operas, it now has lour; while it boasted of one re vue in 1914, six are now competing with each others. Not included in the 51 theatres run ning today are the movie houses and | the cabarets. There . were hardly any cinemas in Berlin before the war; now there are 330 of them, supplying for the most part American films. In 1914 the idea of a cabaret was asso ciated with but two institutions, the “Liden” and the “Black Cat.” Now there are 62 of them. When a res taurant has difficulties in maintaining itself, it promptly installs a cabaret HEADS UP ! ! Sign up with the growing CHAMBER of COMMERCE in the hope of attracting guests.
