LARGE HATS BARRED IN CHICAGO CHURCH Worshippers In Lexington Avenue Baptist Congregation Can See Clergyman. Chicago, Sept. 25. No more will mere man be crushed between mam moth hats abloom with flowers and rampant hat pins while attending 6err ices in the Lexington Avenue Baptist church. In the weekly calendar, Is sued yesterday, women are request! to Temove their hats. "One would n-H expect to keep raised an umbrella In a house of worship." reads the re quest, 4tut some hats are almout as large and quite as great an obstruction to those seated behind them." The .question of removing hats was advanc ed several weeks ago at meetings of the woman's guild of the church and was received favorably. So many wo men, however, failed to remove their hats that the request was printed In, the church weeklv paper. "It Is a great innovation," declared Rev. M. P. Boynton lastor of the church, last night. "We are meeting with all sorts of help from our women members. It ! really Is a difficult thing to see fr :vn behind the large bats, and I think the wearers enjoy the service better be cause the removal of hats of others gives them an unobstructed view of tie chancel, something they did not have prior to the movement."

Long Beach auditorium, referred to I President Taft as a tyrant and said it was time his rule should cease. "When the time comes," the governor aaid, "that any man feels he has the power to say to a state that it shall not gov ern itself, then it is time for the power of that man to be halted. It is the people's eight and the people's duty to call that halt. The words of any man, be he national executive, state execu tive, or whatever he may be are en titled to only so much consideration and weight as your reason will per-.j mit you to endow them with. And if, after we have listened to them and considered them, we find that they do not measure up, we are entitled to re ject them Just the same as if they were Jhe words of any other citizen of our country."

The Pellet Rooms In Homes Entirely Devoid of Furniture. , "Furniture is quite unknown In a common Eskimo home." writes the wife of the Danish governor of Green land, Anna Blstrup, In an article on "Eskimo Women In Greeland" in the Century. "The houses of the Eskimos are all built of stone and turf, with the win dows opening toward the sun, the one entrance always being on the side that is least exposed to the wind. Along the back wall runs a platform, a pallet of boards, raised eighteen Inches above the floor. It is from six to eight feet deep, and through its whole length it is divided Into rooms or spaces of eight or ten feet. Each room is sepa rated from the neighboring room by a partition of board or skin. An open pnssage runs the whole length of the bouse along the pallet rooms and serves for the traffic of all the inmates. but each pallet room claims for its j I own the bit of passageway adjoining. "Each pallet room Is occupied by one family, and there they stay night and day. The best pallet room Is the In nermost and is always occupied by the owner of the house or the oldest if the bouse has more than one owner." European Civilization. The first pavements in Paris were laid about the year 1200; In London, j about 1417. Berlin was without pave ments far Into the seventeenth cen- j tury. No bouses bad glass windows j before the twelfth century, and as late i as the fourteenth century anything j might be thrown out cf the windows j of Paris and London after three times j calling out. "Look out!" Shirts were I cot known until the time of the cru saders, and the fine clothes which la dles and gentlemen wore were seldom washed, but only occasionally "scent ed." So late as 1550 there were to be found in Paris but three carriages, while In England coaches date from 15S0. Forks were unknown, and table manners were exceedingly "unsightly.
