The tablet. Inserted In a sunkea

to replace the one which was abov*

bore this inscription:
"In commemoration of the arrival

sented by the Cap Cod association,

For many years Cape Cod folk had
hoped that Provlncetown's claim to bo
the first landing place of the pllgrlma
might be made manifest by the ereo
tlon of a monument attesting to tho
fact, but no successful organized
movement was launched prior to th*
incorporation of the Cape Cod Mem

The "Yeiser"
Hook and Eye
Prevents Many Embarassments
Because
Har dress Is hooked with the now "YEI8ER" Third
Loop Hooks snd "Barred" Invisible Eyes.
The Yei*er has so many distinctive advantages over
the older makes.
For Instance:—
The "Third Loop" holds the Hook close to the fabric,
Insuring a snug, close-fitting garment at all times.
It also prevents gaping and best of all there being
no contcat between the thread and eye, the thread
is not cut as of old.
The YEISER Hook cannot spread apart—being locked.
Then too, as every eyelet is closed the thread cannot
possibly work out.
The "Barred" Invisible Eye speaks for Itself
YEISER Hooks and Eyes Will Not Rust.

One of the questions which will be
taken up by General Wood Is the
physical test of officers. Since Presi-
dent Roosevelt inaugurated this sys-
tem, many officers have been hoping
that it would be modified. General
Wood Is one of the foremost of phys-
ical culture enthusiasts.
Instead of being made milder, it Is
not unlikely that the tests will be
made harder than ever. The detail
of troops to the Philippines is an-
other matter that will be disposed of
by General Wood very soon. He has
also a number of ideas regarding co-
operation between the regular army
and the mllltla which he will prob-
ably attempt to put Into practise.
