 Always hanging close to the leaders, but not looking like a contender until the final three miles, White ran the greatest race of modern Marathons, although his time is comparatively slow. He finished the race, the last two miles of which were run in the Fourteenth Regiment Armory, in splen- did condition. He seemed to. suffer no ill effects from the gruelling con- test. When he had broken the wOr- sted he bounded away from his ad- mirers and sprinted to his dressing quarters.

HARVARD SEVEN
 HOCKEY CHAMPIONS

A single goal, the only point scored in the final game for the intercolleg- fate hockey championship, won the ti- tie for Harvard ever Dartmouth Col lege last night in the St. Nicholas rink, New York, in a sensational wind -up for the intercollegiate hockey series.
 The contest, twice postponed, came on after the finish of the regular hockey schedule, and was moved to New York because of the uncertainty of getting good natural ice at Cam bridge.
 Harvard and Dartmouth had gone through the season undefeated, so that the final match of the championship series drew big parties from Cambridge and Hanover, and these helped the New York patrons of hockey to pack Se. Nicholas rink when the long antic- ipated match was decided.

On the Trail of the Ghost
By VANCE THOMPSON

This is the most extraordinary 3eries on psychic research ever printed in a magazine. Hun dreds of authors, some of them fiction writers, have prepared slipshod, hastily written articles, more or less vague, incorrect, incoherent and untrustworthy.

 . Here for the first time you will get a definite, concise and all- embracing series of authentic articles upon the whole matter of ghostland and human communi- cation therewith. If you miss this series you miss the most startling documents that the last score of years have seen in the magazine world.

Boy Lfbing Room Paper
With Considerable Care

Three things must be kept IN mind
when selecting paper for a living room
its use. the amount Of light and sun,
and the color OF any fixtures. such as
the tiles OF a fireplace. woodwork and
furniture.
The use Of a room determines at once
The kind OF paper. For q living room
paper may have rough, felt-lilze sur
face, while for a bedroom glazed sur
faces and. as a rule. lighter tones are
appropriate.
If the room is TO be hung with pic
lures the paper should be plain and of
a soft. rstreattng tcne like dull yellow
or gubdued green
In the library the interest centers
upon the book shelves. ard here the
paper should contrast enough with the
woodwork 10 bring out its best points.
A bedroom should suggest repose and
daintiness- These effects are best OBJ
tanned by simple papers in light tones.
A north room should be treated with
warm tones Ike clear yellow or a rosy
pink. Nothing bordering on lemon or
old rose is possible, however pretty the
papers may De in themselves.
In south rooms where the sunlight
pOurs in. almost any one may be used.
Here yellows and browns give very
warm, rich effect, which the cool cOlOrs
blues and greens-do not detract from
the cheerfulness.
