The material Is loose and pliable and
the raglan sleeves are set in so that the
swing of a golf club will not tear the
coat at the shoulder. Plain white honey
comb cloth Is used for the rolling rev.
ers and cuffs. The model has a strap
at the back and large patch pockets.
Golfing capes. In white or light colors,
are held in place by body garment
which seems to be a cross between q
waistcoat and a sweater. It extends
quite high and serves the purposes of
cold day garment, for the cape itself
quite often swings free from the shoul-
ders and serves its purpose more as an
effect than an actual necessity.
Golf capes Of shepherds plaid with
bright red waistcoats are striking, and
those OF grass green duvetyn, with
white broadcloth waistcoats and small
brass buttons. are very smart. Tho
silk and wool sweaters are light and
warm. Some Of these are knitted In
two colors of silk. giving the entire gar
ment the appearance OF changeable
silk.

wear has a circular yoke which fits the

another longer cape extends almost to

Harron Lost Weight.

David W. Griffith. general director
for the Reliance and Majestic COM
panies. insists on realism and due
regard for appearances. His actors
must not only act the party; they must
look 1t.
Mr.. Griffith was recently selecting the
cast for a big Majestic Mutual feature
when his gaze rested on Robert Har-
ron. You are just the man for the
part" he said, except for your weight.
You are at least ten pounds too heavy.
No other member OF the company ex-
actly suited Mr.. Griffith, and the ques-
ton of completing the cast was left
undecided. Mr.. Harron that night went
on a rigid diet. He ate only two meals
day, took reducing exercises daily,
and in little more than a week he
announced to Mr.. Griffith that he had
reduced his weight eleven pounds.

Biggest Flag on Earth

THERE'S a new biggest American
flag ever made" So much the
i biggest that there is no second
biggest" worth talking about.
The construction of this monster flag
has just been finished by the Amoskeag
Manufacturing Company. Here are the
banners dimensions:
1t Is ninety-five feet long and fifty
feet wide. The width of each of its
thirteen stripes Is nearly four feet
Gorty-seven inches, to be exacD.
The great stars upon its blue field
are constructed within a 39-inch circle
and measure about three feet from
point to point. The blue field is thirty
eight feet in length by twenty-five feet
fve inches in height
The stars are placed four feet nine
inches between centers lonEitudinally
and four feet three inches vertically.
The stars alone weigh nine pounds,
while the completed flag weighs 200
pounds.
The proportions OF this flag are
strictly in accordance with Government
regulations.
In making the flag another i'm
portant point in the Government reg
ulatiOns has been observed, that OF
never allowing the flag TO touch the
ground-a very considerable. task,
considering it's dimensions.
To provide for this rule, as well
as to give the correct appearance of
height, etc, a pole 2s5 feet tall has
been prepared as a flagstaff.
In other words. this pole, placed In
Trinity churchyard. would tower Ave
feet above the summit OF the Trinity
building.
Many an apartment house could be
completely covered by the folds OF
the banner.
Specially made bunting was needed
for the flag to withstand the tremen-
dous weight and the strain. Ordinary
bunting would tear like so much pa
per undAx the nrst tug.
