DEFINES FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
Hereafter Orders Must Have Rituals
tic Form TO Come Under Law

The fraternalists. as well as readers
generally. will be interested 10 know
chat the Senate bill No. II. introduced
by Senator Ogg. to amend Section / OF
Act No. 169 OF the public acts OF 1918.
passed both the house and the senate
by good majority. This bill amends
Act No. l69 which defines what shall
constitute fraternal beneficiary socie-
ties, orders and associations. by set
ting forth that such organizations are
to have a ritualistic form OF work in
order TO come under the provisions of
the act. This provision is based on the
proposition that true fraternity is prac-
ticed only around the lodge room altar.
where members pledge to aid each
other in sickness and death and con-
tribute to the assistance OF the unfor-
tunate.
The law as enacted by the legisla-
ture in 1913, made certain exemptions
which permitted one association. with
out the lodge system or any mutual OBJ
legation, without even the essential
teachings and practices of true fra
tenity, to do business under this act.
In other words. this society was grant
ed all OF the privileges enjoyed by fra
ternal societies at the same time
exempted fiom complying with the
reasonable provisions of the act
The fraternal law as now amended
merely brings all societies under the
same general provisions, and IL any
society desires to furnish benefits
without complying with this law. 1t
will be necessary for them to organize
either under the laws of an old line
company or under the act provided for
mutual or assessment companies

ORE MARKET
LOOKS GOOD
RECENT LARGE SALES ENCOURAGE
MINING MEN
MEN. RANGE ORE IN DEMAND
Nearly An The Active Mines Are
Now Shipping More Men Being
Put At Work.

AS result OF the recent large sales
Of ore TO the operators OF eastern furn-
aces. mining men throughout the Lake
superior district anticipate that opera
tions will soon be conducted on a
much larger scale. A few weeks ago
the outlook was not very encouraging
and Ii was feared that many p-opeities
that we're closed down last fall would
remain idle through the summer but
the sales of ore reported within the
past 10 days indicate that the season
will show a gain as compared with last
year.
The volume OF new business has been
heavy enough materially TO affect the
mining situation Within the past 10
days several hundred men have been
nut back at work on the old ranges.
The idle properties on the range began
resuming work several weeks ago and
in the interval nearly 1000 men have
been given employment.
The demand for Menominee range
ore seems to be better than the demand
for ores produced on the Marquette
range, as active shipping operations
started in that field nearly a week
earlier than on the latter range. Prac-
tically all OF the active mines in the
Mcnominee district are now shipping
TO Escanaba. Only few OF the Mar
quette range properties have started
10 send out ore
The movement OF ore thus far from
both OF the old ranges exceeds by
considerable tonnage that forwarded
during a corresponding period last
spring. while the shipments from the
Mesaba range properties have been
several times larger.
II Is said that the Cleveland Cliffs
'ACompsny has over 100000 tons in
stock on the Marquette and Swanzey
ranges. so the season will have to be
an exceptional one n all OF this ore.
together with the output OF mine, is
shipped before the close OF navigation.
Exploratory operations will be re-
sumed at a number OF points on this
range In the next few weeks. During
the past few years very little drilling
has been done. but the Improvement in
the iron situation as caused several to
prepare for drilling operations. Cole
a Mcdonald have several contracts i'm
prospect, and the firm is preparing to
do some exploring on its own account
on lands held under option II has a
promising tract near the Bristol mine.
and II expects 10 find ore there.

Estimated at s75O,Oe0 and All for
Building Highways =

Even though the automobile licenses
sold by the state this year will bring in
a revenue OF approximately $300,000
the experts in the office of the state
figure that under the Newell Smith bill
that figure will be more than doubled.
At the rate the licenses are going out
now. there will be 100000 this year.
The rate this year is SO fiat while the
average rate for next year will run
about 81. perhaps higher.
As II finally passed, the Newell Smitl
bill calls for straight tax of twenty
FIVE cents horsepower, and according
to those in charge OF the books. the
average horsepower is about twenty
six.
This would make the straight fee
about $3.50. without any mention OF the
weight proposition, which adds to that
figure when certain rate is reached.
On this basis. and using the number
of licenses for 1915 as a criterion the
income for 1916 should be about three
quarters OF million. or this but one
half will go to the state highway de-
partment, while the other half goes
back to the counties in which the autos
are owned

FOREST FIRE "DON'Ts,
Department at Washington Is Seeking
10 Prevent Disastrous Fires

To obtain the cooperation OF the
public in preventing forest fires which
are doing a great deal OF damage in
the east this spring, the United States
forest service has prepared ten
"DON'TS" to be observed In the
woods. 1t is hoped that these rules
may have a beneficial effect during
the fire season which rs just begin
ming and which. from present indica-
tions, promises to be unusually severe.
The "DON'TS" follow;
/. Don't throw your match away un-
til you are sure IL is out.
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished
3. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other infiammable ma
terial.
4. Don't build a camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't build fire against tree,
a log. or a stump. or anywhere hut on
bare soil
6. Don't leave fire until YOU are
sure II is out; II necessary smother It
with earth or water.
Z. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods II there is any chance
that the fie may spread beyond your
control or that the wind may carry
sparks where they would start new
fire.
8. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than YOU are with fire
in your own home.
9. Don't be idle when YOU discover
fire in the woods; II you can't put Il
out yourself. get help. Where a forest
guard. ranger. or state fire warden can
be reached. call him up on the nearest
telephone you can find.
10 Don't forget that human thought
lessness and negligence sre the caus-
es OF more than half OF the forest fires
in this country, and that the smallest
spark may start confiagratIon that
will result in loss OF life and destruc-
tion Of timber and young growth val
liable not only for lumber but for their
influence in helping to prevent food,
ell osion. and drought
Many thousands OF acres OF forest
and suburban woodland from Maine 10
Florida. and from the Atlantic coast
az far west as Arkansas. have been
burned already this sprihg by fires
which started for the most part from
preventahle causes.
On the national forest purchase

March. burning over more than $500
acres while ~ fires starting ON pri-
vate land near or within government
boundaries damaged nearly $500

numerous and severe. but rains IN tho
latter part OF the month helped tho sit

FOR WEAK-MINDED GIRLS
Mary Doe was in the court of do
nestle relations yesterday charged
with disorderly conduct. Her name
isn't Mary Doe, but the name doesn't
matter-it's the story.
! She is %; since she was IA she has
spent much of her time IN the House
of the Good Shepherd and she has
been twice in the BrideweIl, the last
time for six months, which sentence
was completed in January.
Mary Does offenses are always
the same. She has no moral sense,
and the reason she hasn't any moral
sense is because she is feeble-mind-
ed. 1t isn't necessary to have any
test to tell you this about Mary Doe.
Her actions tell it. She has to be
constantly watched that her lack of
moral sense will not lead her into es-
capades that embrace delinquency
without regard even to color. And
because she has to be watched and
resents watching she sometimes
steals her clothes from the house and
slips out. Once she was punished be-
cause she had appeared on the street
naked.
You would not know she was fee
ble-minded to talk to her, but you
would know that she talks like a
child. She is not insane. She is
quite rational in her conversation.

this girl" Judge SABBATH said, after
the story of Mary Does latest delin-
quency had been told. She is not
mentally responsible for these acts
and should not be punished there
for; she is not insane and should not
be sent to an insane asylum, and
there isn't a single institution to
which I can send her, though she
