"MANHAND DIED"

Can a good girl allow herself to be
flirted with by men and still preserve
her spotless reputation? Isn't a
girls reputation like my other piee e
of precious. perishable goods-if it's

Here is the story Of a girl whc

everyone hkes-with human dreams
and human longings. Money-beauti-

WESLEY BARRY FINDS TRUTH
TELLING HARD

The new film which opened yester-
day at the Colonial theatre, is
George Washington, .Jr." starring
Wesley Barry. This spar king, rapiG-
ly moving comedy, adapted from the
famous George NJ. Conan stage play,
gives us new insight into the SEEM
ingly endless versatility of this clever
young actor.
In this picture. undoubtedly the
very best he has yet done, Wesley
plays the same role that George M.
Cohan popularized in his own pro-
duction. and it is with that sane
zest. determined animation and dash
that made Mr.. Conan so popular.
that Wesley charactcrizes George

SOME REMARKABLE
RESULTS IN TEST
MOBILIZATION

Perhaps the most remarkable dem
onstration of the completeness. perfec-
ton and precision with which the
mobilization test in this area was car
ried out Friday is afforded by the re-
ports from the technical headquarters
of two Organized Reserve units. which
functioned entirely for the purpose OF
reporting in for duty the officer per-
sonnet of these paper" units.
In the mayors Office at City hall.
Captain Russell J. Potts, u. IS. A..
opened up headquarters for the 91th
Division yesterday morning, and all
day long the reserve officers who have
been assigned to that organization
were reporting in by letter. telephone,
telegram. and in person. The charts
and tables showing the commissioned
personnel were before him on his desk.
and as each sheaf Of kilograms was
brought in. Captain Potts made the
entries against the names.
These Reserve Officers have never
been mobiiized together. Their assign
ments have been to purely paper
army. but on Defence Day the effort
was to have them report to their rom
mands as they would should general
mobilization order ever be issued. The
officers are scattered all over Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. and
business exigencies on yesterday had
called many of them beyond the con-
fines of New England. But final
check up Of the records last night pre-
paratory to reporting results Of the
mobilization test to the war Depart
ment showed truly remarkable results.
The two headquarters located in Au-
gusta are the Headquarters Special
Troops. 9th Division. and the :22nd
Medical Regiment. 9th Division. of 30
officers assigned to the special troops.

ent time. who have not been assigned,
reported themselves for duty. Captain
r. J. Potts was assisted at the tenn
