Next Time You

il will save time if YOU get Murray
O'Nei. a builder and something
more-in Rex Beach'S new novel,

q Heckling woman is tickhSh

Mrs. Humphry Ward has ever
written. This new book is called
"The CorySton Family"

and Will n. Harlem shows why in
his big new novel called "The De-
sired Woman" 1t shows what
man can make of his life when no
forces but those of his own con-
SciousnesS are brought TO bear.
"The Desired Woman" might have
been an Objectionable story in some
hands. But not in his. All Har-
per books are clean.

this heroine who is not mere
character, but living reality in
the pages of II. g. WellSS new
novel. In it Mr.. Wells says some
sharp things about our right to live

new book which is called "The
Passionate Friends" 1t is a good
Story-and much more.

SADLY NEED OF REPAIR.
Historic Battleflags of United States
In West Point Museum.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-Historic bat
tlefags of the United States in the
museum at West Point Military Acad-
emy are sadly in need of repair and
the Civil Service Commission is en-
deavoring to find an expert needle wo-
man to mend them. These ancient col
ors are very valuable. Most of the
pertain to the Revolutionary, Mexican
and Civil Wars and We're carried by
the troops engaged in these conflicts.
The work of repairing these flags
will be very difficult because in most
cases the material has become SO. brit
tie that they would almost fall to
pieces if handled roughly. The older
ones are especially fragile and, in the
opinion of the commission, it will re
quire the most expert workmanship to
put them into condition to permit their
being exhibited.
An open competitive examination will
be held to obtain the services of the
right person for the task
