RECRUIT JOURNEYS FAR
TO JOIN THE COLORS
ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 13 The local
record for long distance travel, to Join
the colors belongs to Paul M. Thale,
26 years old, of South Rend, Ind.
Thale made up his mind to enlist at
home, but found the congestion would
was such that recruiting officers would
not be able to take care of him for
several days. Having business to attend
to In Philadelphia, he decided to go to
that city, wind up his business and Join
the aviation corps. He found recruiting
stations there also filled with rookies
and when .somebody suggested coming
here he bought a ticket. He was In
Uncle Sam's service on bour after he
reached th shore.
Every Man Delights in a New Cravat
WT-- HAVE taken more than ordinary
care in the selection of our neckwear
this year, and we have been careful to
at old stocking any of the usual "monstrosi
ties" which prevail at Xmas time. Those
selling as low as fifty-five cents are subdued
and tasteful in color and represent excellent
value. For those who want to pay more vie
have the famous "Indestructible Ties,"
guaranteed for six months, and of these
we can safely say there is no better value
in America for the money today. "He" will
be mighty pleased with two or three of
them.
