ent scientific" budget it is not pos
sible to do that.
Larsen served notice in December
that the salary fund would be $107,-
900 short. He said it would be over
come, but could not show how.
Larsen is opposed to having the
teachers salaries raised. believe he
did this to show that Mrs. Young's
recommendation was impossible.
When there was $350,000 extra in
1913 as a result of the one and a
quarter million from back rentals in
1912, another million from the quad
rennial assessment in 1913 and the
additional appropriation of the legis-
lature in 1911, Larsen insisted there
was nothing with which to raise
teachers saalries.
''He had, however, a certain item
of $407, 900. 1 said you know that
item does not take $407 ,000' He
said, Yes, know it. l asked him if
he knew it required about $1,000
and he said he did But he stated he
had been instructed by McFatrich to
make it that way.
Mrs. Young, however, saw
through the move of making the ap-
preparation budget so it would not
pay the salaries of the elementary
teachers and it will be fixed so that
the supply fund will be drawn on for
only seventy per cent and the re-
naming thirty per cent will be ap-
piled to the, teachers salaries"

During the evening, for the purpose
of impressing upon the newly initiat-
ed candidates the beauties of Elkdom
ard to re-enthuse the older Elks, the
following appreciation of the B. P. O..
E.. written by Ebert Hubbard upon
the occasion of the annual reunion of
the order in Denver, was read by Hal
lett Reynolds:
"The faults of our brothers we will
write on the sands; Their virtues on
the tablet of love and memory"
81 am not jiner. But if ever jine
the liners | will jine with the Elks.
without any special written code
or creed, the Elks stand for certain
standard of intellect and ethics. The
man with an Elk's tooth on his watch
foe, or the antlers in his buttonhole,
has no quarrel with the world. He
accepts life and finds it good
THE true Elk does not condemn,
disparage, nor rip regulations up the
back.
Realizing his own limitations, he
is lenient in his judgments toward
those who have been tempted by fate
beyond their power to resist. This
quality of mercy, l have noticed, is
strongly implanted in the Elk culture
THE Elk never weeps over his own
troubles, but for the stricken souls
of the earth his tears Of pity are near
the surface. He loves children, re
spects old age, and so far as l have
seen doesn't incline especially toward
indifference to feminine charms.
Il believe this will hold; no little
apology for man ever joined the
Elks-he would not feel at home
among them. To be an Elk you must
have faith in other men, faith in your
self and faith in the universe.

A BOUT the newest dress accessory
n for little girls is the altogether
practical sash, or loose belt, of black
velvet ribbon finished with a perfectly
fiat bow, which is worn with any sort
of dress for afternoon. One sees this
girdle of velvet on fine white lingerie
frocks and on simpler white dresses,
and it appears also as part of sheer,
zephyr ginghams, dimities, organdies,

supported by narrow straps of the fab

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONG
Statistical Expert Has Proved That
Husbands Are Better Risks
Than Bachelors.

DR.. Hans Curadze, the German statis-
tical expert, has discovered a new
barrier" between men and women.
After studying the statistics of deaths
and marriages he declares: IF men
want to enjoy long life they should
marry; If women want to grow to
good old age they should remain spin
sters."
He admits that his conclusions can
be established with greater certainty
when the city of Berlin publishes its
proposed statistical tables of widows,
widowers, divorced persons and per-
sons who secured separations at vari-
Gus ages, but he says that tables al
ready available show that married
women die sooner than the unmarried,
whereas married men live longest.
Statistics show that the fatal age for
all males, married and unmarried, is
about forty-four, whereas for the mar
ried men it lies between fifty-five and
sixty.
The fatal age for all women is about
fifty, ten years more for unmarried
women, and nearly ten years less for
married.
Thus, if Doctor Curadze's statistics
are to be believed, the woman who re-
mains single may expect 20 years
more of life than her married sister.
Marriages dissolved by the death OF
the wife last, on an average, ten to fif
teen years, those dissolved by the hus
bands death usually last 20 to 25
years.
According TO this the number Of
widowers in the average community
is always considerably in excess of the
number of widows. This is only one
of the interesting questions which will
be answered by the elaborate statistics
now being collected in Berlin.

all of one age. Just what that age is
l have not made out, but it lies some
where between 80 and so. No Elk
ever is over so, no matter how long
he has lived. and none weighs over
200 pounds. They all have a joyish,
bcyish, bubbling heart of youth. and
no whiskers.
81 never saw an Elk who was very
rich, excepting in kindness and good
cheer. But they all have all the
money they need, even if not all they
want.
"The Elk is not troubled about saw
ing his soul-in fact he is not troubled
about anything. Perhaps that is one
distinguishing feature. He does not
worry, nor shake the red rag of wordy
warfare He believes that everything
is all right-or nearly so-and that
his task is to do his work, and not
to bother other folks any more than
he has to.
You cannot down a man who can
laugh at himself The Elk stays right
in the game; l never heard OF one
retiring from business.
There seems to be little danger
that the Elks' fraternity will evolve
into religion. He knows that truth
is point of view, that all is relative,
that nothing is final or absolute, nor
can it be in world where nothing
is permanent but change.
80 the Elks' religion is Now and
Here; to partake of all good things
in moderation; to give out love and
kindness, because these things come
back, and to supply a scrap only tC
the man who repeatedly asks for it
and will accept nothing else-this as
a matter of accommodation.
