BENEVOLENT AND PRO-
TECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS

High water mark was registered in
the enthusiasm that prevailed In Santa

at the session Thursday night when a
quintet of candidates was led through
the wilderness to the green pastures of
Elkdom under the guidance of Exalted
Ruler J. G. Hemingway and his staff of
officers. Past Exalted Ruler Frank
Bryson of No. 49, accompanied by the
crackerjack working squad of the Los
Angeles lodge and other visitors, served
to swell the big turnout of beach Elks
until the hall was filled to it's utmost
capacity by the time the gathering was
called to order.
Lights and shadows followed thick
and fast as the trembling initiates We're
gently led through the winding glades
and woodlands through which the Elk
trail leads to the main corral. The Los
Angeles team, which was assisted by
local brothers, conducted it's work In a
highly creditable manner, and at the

so cleverly were: Guy Hill, captain; w.
L. Hodges, Harry Ziegler, Tom Abbott
and Joe Campbell.
The newest baby Elks are: c. A. Still

Anderson, former city attorney of the

young monologue artist and character
actor, who is a son of Police Judge j. j.
Carrillo of Santa Monica; DR.. w. M.
Kendall, health officer of the same
beach city, and o. E. Watson.
The initiates were shown every pic
turesque feature of the wilderness on
their journey, and if there was any
thing lacking to impress upon them the
| lofty ideals of Elkdom 1t was not the
fault Of the brothers of Santa Monica
lodge and their guests on that occa-
sion.
Among the visitors were Brothers M
| of Fresno; H. B. Truman. Kansas CITY;
ofFresno; H. B. Truman, Kansas City;
A. IT. Taylor, Portsmouth, O.; F. b.

ternal times manage to cement friend
ships among themselves. The team of
Los Angeles lodge No. 1 entertained
