Pecularitles That Are Revealed by a
Measuring Machine.
"The machine that measures heads
when hats are to be accurately fitted
gives surprising revelations regarding
the shape of people's skulls," says a
Sixth street hatter.
"Ordinarily alt odd shaped skull
must be verycbadly fornted indeed “(32
.forc it attracts attention, for the flesh
and hair make..all skulls seem of the
2‘ same shape. except when a man's bend
"tit”viiry long or very round; but the
machine has little sections, fitting
closely to the skull and reproducing
in dotted lines on a piece. of paper
the exact outline. The ideal form of
the skull is almost an mat, and We as-
ttally tltittk of it as of that shape, so

"l lost one customer, aliroadway
merchant who insisted on having his
skull measured and his hat fitted. lie.
had been buying hats of me for ten
years and always had trouble with a
new hat. until it fitted itself to the
shape of his head. One day he saw
the machine and determined to be

Joseph Crosson, of Main street, Nor-
walk. was struck by an automobile
yesterday near the corner of Elm

The a'utomobillst stopped, picked
him up and took hint to his home in

Haven lawyer named Thomas. was
said to be going slowly at the time of
the accident.

and Mrs. George, W. Benedict. of Elm
street. . Crosson and Mrs. lion-

trifle to defer the collection of my life
insurance. Moat inconveniently the
healthy conltion of my neck and my
thrust is necessary for the pursuance
of my profession and theI earning of

The other actor saw the point attd
apologised. Mansfield took off the
collar and never aftc r suffered at his

scene. ~lioston Transcript
