nation and a mere perfunctory licensing.
We have recently submitted TO the Mayor
q public cart ordinance which Is the out

call for the yearly inspection of all public
carts.

enthusiasm among the thousands of
patriotic Americans who gathered on
the shores of the lake on that occa-

this flag that Commander Cole dis

arouse sympathy and obtain financial

Work OF Mcnding The Piags~
All the linen used in backing the
flags had 20 be especially woven for
the purpose This was done In
Europe, aud the linen was the same as
was used In the backing of some OF
the tapestries made by the wife of the
Duke OF Normandy more than one
thousand years ago. The fact that
these tapestries are still In excellent
condition Is pretty good evidence that
our trophies will be preserved for
many years at least. Then, too, the
thread used had to be dyed the exact
color Of the flags, which naturally had
faded, and il required the work Of one
man for an entire month to ret the
correct shades and colors which would
stand the sunlight test. Where pieces
Of tho flags had disappeared no At
tempt was made to insert another as
the work was for the preservation and
not the restoration, so these gaps were
merely filled In with needlework on the
linen. The stitch used originated with
the Egyptians thousands Of years ago.

the auditorium and the largest ones
