W. Kimmins, chief educa tion officer, has been telling the London county council. “If I wear my hat well over my forehead it gives me a solemn, thoughtful appearance, N Dr. Kim mins said. When I push it back beyond the usual position, the whole world knows me as a hap pjr-go-iucky man. Right Side Rowdy. “Tilted on the right side I am nothing but a rowdy, but the min ute I let it slide over to the left I lose my social status complete ly, for I become a mental defi cient. tt Hatters Confirm Statement.

KICK LA FOLLETTE FROM THE PARTY Expect Few Changes in Chair manships Will Be Necessary, Washington, Nov. 8.—(By the Associated Press.)—Whil<=r there will be a general shake-up in the personnel of house and senate committees as a result of Tues day’s election, fewfer than a dozen changes of importance in chair men will be necessary. At least three vacancies by death, however, will have to be filled before the expiration of the present congress. May Oust Bob. There is considerable specula tion as to whether an effort will be pinde by the republicans to read Senator LaFollette and his followers in the senate and house out of the party, depriving of their committee assignments and of the privilege of party con ferences. LaFollette is chairman of the senate’s manufacturers’ committee and is listed as the ranking re publican on the finance and inter state committees. Other senators usually lined up with ‘ him hold memberships on committees, while in the house La Follette insurgents, all of whom were re-elected, have committee assignments as republicans, some of them serving as chairmen. the locals’ attack was too strong for the visitors. Although outplayed, the Griffin team put up a hard fight until the finish and several times made neat gains. The locals used every substi tute available. Pittman and Key carried the honors for Griffin, both featuring in an aerial attack. The latter kicked a field goal from the 40 yard line, which accounts for the visitor’s three points. and declare they knew all this long ago. “I always examine my custo mer’s hats as they come into the shop,” said one hatter. << Before they have given their order I have formed my conclusions with re gard to the kind of hat they need. it A man with a fashionably shaped bowler tilted foward over his right eye will want an expen sive but fashionable hat. “The man who wears his lid dead straight will in all probabil ity demand a serviceable hat, and will possibly be particular over the price. u Men who wear their hate tilted to the left are the rarest type. They usually want something out of the common. But there is a chance that one may misjudge this last type, they may merely be left handed. i> GRIFFIN. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1924.
