ASKS NAVY FOR GUNS
TO Arm U. S. SHIPS
Government May Provide Them,
But Matter of Trained Gun
ners Is Far From Solation.

Washington. D. c.. Feb. 13-P. A. 81.
Franklin, president Of the I~nterna-
.tional Mercantile marine. today made
formal application to the navy depart
ment for guns to arm the passenger
liners Of the American line.
The navy department, it was stated
officially, has a considerable number Of
old model, 3-inch to 6-inch rifles avail
able for arming merchant ships, bat not
enough for the conversion of all ships
it would require in time or war and
also to furnish defensive armament for
all merchantmen.
Puzzled About Gunners.
The question OF supplying trained
gun crews for merchantmen is more
difficult from a departmental point of
view. There is objection TO withdrawing
men from the active service of the navy
at this time and there is also some
question as to what effect III a step
would have on the status Of a ship.
French ship wner furnished guns by
their W navy, were Occurred TO make
oath that they were to be handled by
civilian crews.
The possibility that the navy might
supply guns Indirectly through loan or
sale to ship wner has received some
consideration, but a preference for di-
rect action by III department in plac-
ing guns aboard is indicated by the
ship owners.

Gardening In April
From the Woman's World.

April is the month of planting in the open. The gardener and his work go outdoors. Just when to begin plant ing, however, must be left to a great extent to the gardeners own judg- ment. If he is experienced he will not be misled by April's smiles nor dis couraged by her frowns safe plan to follow Is to plant the seed of the hardest flowers and vegetables Just as soon as the ground is in condition to be worked In the vegetable gar den, for instance, when the soil is spaded, plant at once onions. both seed and sets, the smooth varieties of peas turnips, radish, early beets and spin ach. In the flower garden, plant sweet peas, peoples and centaureas.
 When peach or pear trees are in bloom. some of the less hardy flower and vegetable seed should be planted such as parsnips, salsify. kohlrabi summer spinach. wrinkled peas and cabbage; cauliflower. beet, lettuce ani onion plants, grown indoors, should be set out. When the apples come into blossom, plant the tender things, such as corn, cucumbers, gourds, melons and pumpkins. But indoor grown plants of peppers tomatoes, melons, egg- plant. okra and similar tender vege- tables should not be transplanted to the open ground until danger of late frosts is practically at an end.
 Should a late frost, however, make it's appearance-as it frequently does when the gardener has estimated that spring is advanced beyond that point, it is well to remember that most plants will survive if afforded only slight protection. Have at hand,

can animal, the elk The splendid quail ties of this monarch of the glen are known as strong of limb fleet of foot, keen of perception and at the same time timid and unaggressive until attacked. Its prototype in man should be quick to hear the cry of distress, fleet of foot in helping the unfortunate and in it's strength protecting the weak and de fenseless.
 In every city where business or pleas ure may call a brother Elk, he is suro to see well defined footprints of his brother members leading towards the local quarters-in some instances modest little clubrooms, but in the principal cities beautiful, wel-appointed buildings that have taxed the skill of the greatest architects in achieving completeness. All Elkdom today represents one great chain of modern clubrooms, where every mem bership Is equal to the other and one word admits to all On the rolls of the various lodges will be found the names of Americas prominent officials, bank CTS merchants, Journalists, medical and legal men, together with the brightest lights in art, literature and music.
 An Elk is sure to find this circle of kindred minds wherever he goes-appre- ciative, intelligent friends who are quick to extend the good hand of fellowship and welcome the traveller with a friendly smile and a cheering word
 The generous. charities of the order. known only to the members, are many and of a diversified character Selfish ness has never played part in Elkdom and neither country nor creed, doctrine nor belief are taken into consideration in extending needed relief in the various communities.
 Such a substantial growth as has been enjoyed by the Benevolent and Protec- tive Order of Elks Is in itself the high est testimony as to the principles and objects of the order, an organization which has never ceased to increase and prosper just as long as the foundation remains on those everlasting corner stones of charity, justice and brotherfy love.

purposes. A reorganization was there fore approved by the membership, and committee of four members appointed to select a new and appropriate name. It was the desire of this special committee to present a name entirely new, different and thoroughly American. One of the members, on going through Barnum' s museum, was particularly impressed with a fine elk's head which had been mounted committee in session looked up the his tory of the American elk and were deeply impressed with the description of the animal found in Goldsmith's Animated Nature and Buffon's Natural History. These authors described the elk as Fleet of foot and timorous of doing wrong avoiding all combat except in fighting for the female and in defense of the young, the helpless and the weak These re- searches were confirmed and the elk was chosen as a name and accepted by the new organization without dissention This important action took place on Sunday, February 10 1868. The present title of the Benevolent and Protective Order of E,lks being accepted and the following elective officers provided for: Right honorable primo, first, second and third deputy primo, honorable secretary. corresponding secretary, treasurer and tiler.
 The first elective officers for the year 1868 as shown by the records are as fol- lows: Right honorable primo, Charles Vivian; first deputy primo, R. R. Steirly honorable secretary, William Carlton; treasurer, H. Vandermark; tiler, William Shepard.

BODY TRANSFERRED
 TO BOSTON CEMETERY

In March, 1899, the Boston lodge of Elks arranged for the transfer of Vivian's body from the town of Lead vile and the remains were removed to Boston and reinterred in the beautiful Elks' Rest of Boston lodge in Mount Hope cemetery. The ceremonies were held on April 2S 1889, and the spot was marked by suitable monument to the memory of Charles Algernon Sidney Vivian.
 The fame of the order soon spread and other cities applied to the parent lodge of New York for charters. In 1874 there were but two Edks' lodges, with mem bership of only 200; in 1882 a total of IA lodges, with combined membership of 1876. During the next 10 years from 1882 to 1892, the total number of lodges grew to 222, with a combined membership of 1S,424; in 1903 $50 cities and towns of inn portance were represented with Elks lodges and the combined membership reached 135, 600. The last 10 years, how ever, show the greatest growth At the grand lodge meeting held in Rochester. N. Y, in 1913 the records show the total of 1905 lodges, an unbroken chain from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the straits to the gulf, and the sign of the friendly and protecting antlers are found in every town where the population Is large enough to permit them to have membership in the order. The total mem- bership numbered 408, 2S1. Up to the year 1905 the sum total of $S9. 424.S3 had been expended in benevolent channels Up to 1914 this amount grew to over s4000,000- to be exact, s4,2S9, ,4O5. At the present time there are 36 lodges with a membership of over 1000; Brooklyn, N Y, leading with a total of 42S4; New York lodge second with a membership of 3227; Bos- ton third with 2033 and Seattle fourth with membership of 1875 The amount of property owned by the various lodges in the United States in 1905 totaled $6,176, ,O93.06. The grand total In 1913 shows that the real estate now owned by the various lodges amounts to the splendid sum of $22, ,S49, ,569.75.

VIVIAN REM VARIABLE
 FOR HIS VERSATILITY

Vivian, the originator of the Order or Elks, was one of the most versatile men of the dramatic profession. A splendid actor, gifted with a wonderful voice, and his cheerful, sunny nature had much to do with the growth of the order during the years he remained in New York city. On a road tour in 1880 Vivian was stricken with pneumonia in Leadyille, Col, where he died on March 20. The splendid order he had conceived numbered only about 9 dozen lodges at the time, confined to the far east, and had hardly been heard of i'll this new mining country of which Leadville was a recognized center It seemed that the man who had founded this great fraternity was to die alone and friendless. His name was not un- known, however, and although thousands of miles away from the charitable order he had founded, his remains were not to be neglected. The Leadville lodge of the Knights of Pythias, in true spirit of brotherly love, took charge of the funeral ceremonies and expenses. The casket provided was the finest that money could buy and the entire population of Lead vile turned out with bands of music to do the last honors to the man who had founded the Order of ElkS.

Republicans and Democrats are

some of them admit that the pros

advantage that comes from years in
office and the building-up Of strong
