extracted text (Extract Text): AT the annual Tournament of Roses in
Pasadena, Cal., a marked change in
the character of the floral decorations and
floats was
noticeable.
Some of the
floats in the
parade intro-
duced a war-
like note. One
of the most
interesting
was a facsimile
of a British
tank. It was
thirty feetlong,
and fifteen feet
high. The
body of the
tank was of
smilax, the
caterpillar treads were of gray acacia and
the cleats were white desert holly.
