There is dissension in the ranks of Elkdom as to who originated this Exalted Ruler Al Moore disclaims it. though many are suspicious that he is accountable. On the other hand George Driscoll, --;chlpald Cater. Jav BigSs and Pop Hoeffer all insinuate that they thought of it first.
 Be that as it may, much disresDect Is due someone for the inspiration. Naturally. the game will be very closely contested and there is bound to be rabid rivalry and party partisan ship Hence the choice of umpires is really serious matter and no two men could adequately satisfy every one So it has been arranged that there will be an umpire for every player to stand by hf~ side and watch ms every move. Certainly under these circumstances. there can be no questioning the umpires' decisions.
 There is no doubt but that the af- fair will be big success. as is the ease with all Elks' attempts. and Cap tain Alexander and those who have rooted so hard for the new clubhouse. will have occasion to shake hands with themselves over the neat contribution that will be forthcoming therefor as result of the days receipts.

BROWNING DAY MAY 7
Once Asked His Betroth~d to Forget
 Birthday.

The hundredth anniversary of Robert Brownings birth is to be generally celebrated May 7th. In one of Browning's remarkable letters written to Elizabeth Barrett a few months before their marriage, he mentions the day: Have you for gotten that birthday? Do, my Ba. forget it. My day, as I told you, is the 20th-my true. haDpiest day. But I thank you all I can, deare7..- All good to me comes through you, or for you-everY wish and hope ends in you" But on the morning of the 7th she replied to him: Be loved. my thoughts go to you this morning. loving and blessing you. May God bless you for both His worlds-not for this alone. So l am to forget today, I am told in the letter! An, But I shall for get and remember what l please The letters of both the Brownings are included in the book, Letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett" The subtitle shows the date of this remarkable courtship- 1845-46.

A FLY-CATCHlNG CONTEST

In the May Womans Home Com panlon appears an interesting ac- count of q great fly-catching con test held early last summer in Wor- cester, Mass. It contains a number of good suggestions which various communities might well put into operation this year. Following is an extract from the description:
 Tuesday morning. June 20. 1911. the city of Worcester awoke to the fact that a campaign against flies was on. for the Worcester Telegram had published this offer: The Tele- gram herewith offers 153 prizes, amounting to $G50 in total, to those living in the city of Worcester. and less than twenty years of age. who bring to The Telegram office. in accordance with the dates and hours given, the largest number of quarts or barrels of house flies. dry and unmiXed with other insects, and unmiXed with other foreign matter as follows: Then the details of the contest were given. There were two hundred and thirty-tWo contestants and sixteen million flies were caught The winner of the first prize q boy of 12, got one million two hun dred nineteen thousand and sixty five flies, between the evening of June 22d and o'clock Thursday night. July 18th, when the contest closed.
 Tt was owing, probably. to Dr. Clifton F. Hodge of Clark university that such a war was Wagcd just at inI study of flies and is an authority on methods for their cXtcrminatiOn. His maxim is, Don't chase the fly. let it catch itself He advocates the use of traps attached to the garbage can of the home. this being the headquarters of the fly. A hole about three inches in diameter should he made in the can cover. and, at equal distances on the edge of this hole three small holes should be bored in which the wires of the trap are put to hold it in place over the large hole. Leave the cover raised, and the flies enter the can, and, after gorging themselves, they seek the light coming through the screen of the fly-trap, on the top of the cover. and so are caught.
 Other methods are to place the trap on the outside of screen doors. or on the edge of the box contain ing the garbage can, but pr Hodge says to keep to the garbage can system. and all the flies in the neighborhood of the home will be taken. as it has been found that the insects as a rule travel no farther than five hundred yards. Those hay ing no garbage can should use some scented bait, such as banana peels, milk bread. fish, etc, to attract the flies"

Elks Spring a New One for Great Game Between the Flats" and "Skinnys" Scheduled for Friday, May Seventeenth

At the Elks lodge last Thursday night, it was proposed by W. E. Lee craft that the organization arrange for ball game to be played by the Fat and Skinny members of the lodge at Eastlake park on Friday aft ernoon. May l7th. An admission of 25 cents with grandstand seats at 50 cents will be charged The motion was endorsed unanimously and with great enthusiasm and .e committee ap- pointed to make all arrangements
 Seth Moyle, who has had experience with affairs of this kind in New York city, has promised to drop prison re- form for magazine purposes and the rehearsal of vaudeville sketches, long enough to do justice To his end of the enterprise. It is planned to~ have the entire body of Elks. several hundred in number. turn out in d grand street parade, in humorous costumes. q few hours before the game starts. This will make of the proposition more or less of a Mardi Gras carnival and as there will be the Indian band to dis pense music, doubtless there will be dancing at the park
 The complete lineup has not been arranged as vet but 1t is estimated that there will be several &baker's doz- eEs" of Fay men" in the .substitute'' class. Several tanks of compound oxygen will be- placed in the grounds for their benefit There will be many startling Innovations il troduced, such as field glasses for fioldcrs pushmo- piles for those running the bases who are slow afoot. bullet-and- language proof armor for the umpires, and in- numerable things that it would be a shame to disclose in advance
 An idea that both the American and National leagues may see fit to copy. will he inausurated at this game.
