A GOOD EXAMPLE SET
BY TRENTON VETERANS
Trenton veterans of the American
Legion are not only preserving the
spirit of patriotism in their activi-
ties, but they are also doing prac
teal things that are just as com
mendable. Their latest activity is in
supplying State street merchants
with large flags for use in decor
alton and to be displayed on holi-
days.
A new plan for displaying the
flags is used in mounting them on
long poles, and these are set in
sockets installed along the curbing
before the places of business. The
charge for the flag, pole and socket
installed is reported to be $500. This
not only provides the merchants with
a modern and convenient display
but provides employment for vet
Grams who make the installations of
the sockets. These are iron affairs
set in concrete in the pavement at
the curb. When the flag is not in
use, a covering falls over the socket
to keep out dirt and trash.

Cheer and youthfulness are evi-

"Never have fall colors been
more varied and brilliant" he de-
clares. "The manufacturers have
sought to make this a season of
unbounded cheer, while the lines
of their styles are more youthful
than ever before, and it is safe to
say that the high or tight waist
line will not come back this sea-

Dresses are slightly longer, the
