war memorial. Five hundred other cities
and towns are considering this form of
memorial favorably at this time, al
though they haye not announced defin-
itely their decisions.

ity house Most of them, however, have
certain characteristics in common The
first consideration has usually been Civ
en- to providing a group of social rooms,

patriotic societies and various civic or.
CARNATIONS. In some towns. among them
