ELKS LODGE WILL
GIVE DING BATHS
Two Odd Words Perplexed
Judge Fox, but Squire
Abbott Informed Him.

Judge Henry c. Fox of the circuit
court, and an Elk, a few days ago re-
ceiyed a notice from the local lodge
of Elks that the lodge was planning TO
give a Ding BATHS" The judge was
sorely perplexed He had never en-
countered Ding BATHS" in his eX-
haustive legal reading, so he set forth
to acquire information. He soon met
a brother Elk. Wilfred Jessup. What
is ding battis?'" asked the court
You'll find it in the Nineteenth
Psalm Jessup replied. The court
was doubtful, so he fell upon r j.
Study and propounded his question.
II think it means tariff for revenue
only I'm sure | saw ding BATHS in
the Democratic platform" said Study.
Rats" said the court.
In desperation the court fed to the
temple of justice over which Squire
l.. c. Abbott presides. The Squire is
learned in Greek, Latin, Perusian.
Persian and other popular college stu
dies. Squire, what is ding battis'?''
Judge Fox breathlessly exclaimed.
Justice Abbott gazed abstractedly ov-
err his specs, then produced the
goods"
ding BATHS is Latin and it means
'whoop 'er up" he said, and the boss
of the circuit court was grateful.
Ding BATHS" in the Elk tongue
means fair" Apply the Latin mean
ing to the Elk meaning and one will
get the real, dyed-in-the-wool sense OF
two peculiar words.
At a banquet served at the lodge
rooms last night the Elks enthusiast,
cally decided to hold their third
Ding BATHS" and, like a circus. it will
be bigger and better than ever before
The date for the event has not yet
been decided but some of the commit
tees have been named. Linus Mere.
dith is general chairman for the Ding
BATHS"

PROFANITY NOT PER-
MISSIBLE IN COURT

Denver. Jan. 17.-Profanity is bar
red from the Official language of the
state of Colorado.
Because Ready Kenehan, the black
smith auditor of the state, in his Of
fetal report to the Governor referred
to certain men as damn FOOLS" Gov
ernor Shafroth declined to accept Ken
ehan's report and returned it for re-
vision. The governor announced that
Kenehan will have to eliminate the
profane word, or his office papers will
never enter the archives of the state
Last month the grand jury appoint
ed a committee of accountants to in
vestigate Kenehan's system of ac-
counting, and they criticised it. Ken
chan retaliated by clubbing the damn
fools"

was largely enhanced when clothed
in the garb OF honesty.
Large returns on small invest
ments. he said are a significant
fact OF the intent and purpose TO
defraud. The court emphasized the
fact that ii was no excuse OF the de-
fendanl to claim that he believed
the future OF Pierre to be all that
he had sai0. 1t Was pointed out to
the jury that the scheme did not
necessary have TO be fraudulent on the
face OF it, but the intent to defraud
by Il concealment OF the actual con-
ditions so as to take undue advantage
OF others WAS all that was necessary
to constitute fraud. The success or
failure OF the scheme should not af-
feet the jury in determining whether
or not a fraud had been committed.
The commitment OF a fraud and the
use OF the United States mail in
carrying it out WAS all that the
jury had to investigate. The jury

mony that Hyde had advertised that
