enterprise requires nerve in a man whose
ordinary equipment is a silk hat and a
cane or umbrella.
i The long and the short of it is that the
Elks will devote the next two weeks to
E"whooping things up They are going to
4 distribute from the headquart ers on Sixth
street 5000 Elk caps in the familiar colors
of the order, and there will be: at least
5000 boys on hand to receive and wear
these caps, which are Just such ''lids"5as
kids love to wear when playing baseball.
Immense numbers of buttons have already
been dist ributed; %, 900 were disposed of
in three days last week.

disorder and practically no conflict of
