 Great movements in the world are not the result of chance, and it does not merely happen that half million of Americas best citizenship have identified themselves with the Order of Elks. They have done so because 1t stands for something which com- mands the respect and sympathy and admiration of good and true men.
 Because it stands for patriotism and loyalty to our country and it's institutions and as a constant lesson in that patriotism and love of country It drapes the American flag upon the altar of every lodge which opens a session under it's authority.
 Because it stands for justice be- tween man and man; justice tenn pered with gentleness and mercy, and as an emblem of that justice, upon our country's flag we place an open Bible
 Because it teaches the sweet virtue of brotherlly love, not only between members of our order, but toward all mankind.
 And because above, and beyond all, 1t teaches as fundamental basis of 
 it's creed, an all-embracing charity, not merely the cold charity that limits it. self to the paltry gifts of aims, but that sweet charity which freely spends itself in kindly words, in generous thoughts in gracious deeds and warm hearted love-
 These are the things that have ap- pealed to men and caused them to flock to our standard and to swell the mighty host that is marching for ward under it's ad-flung banners.

WHAT THE ELKS' BELIEVE.

The principles of our order are @Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. These are the foun- dations up on which our order is founded; these are the magic words that in the space of fifty years have made this the greatest American fra ternal order.
 We believe the man that scatters flowers in the pathway of his fel- lowmen and lets into the dark places of life the sunshine of hu- man sympathy and human helpful ness is following in the footsteps of his Master.
 We believe smile is better than a frown, sunshine better than clouds, and laughter is the sweetest music in all the world.
 We believe in good fellowship, and that 1t IS our duty now and then to turn aside from the cares and anxieties of life and sip the honey from the flower of pleasure.
 My brothers, in the struggles, trials and triumphs of the future we must do our work and act our parts, and we will best perform our duties to ourselves, families, neighbors, to coun-

DUPLICITY.

Duplicity is disgusting, no matter where it is manifest, either in fra ternal order or in the general walk of life. The great Order of Elks teaches broad -mindedness and loyalty to con- stitute without and has less duplicity shown than any other institution in this country Where deceit is discov- cred among the Elks it is quickly transmitted to all parts of this na- tion and the individual guilty of such contemptible misconduct is immedi- ately tabooed as a human being de- void of all principles necessary to make him genuine.

LEGION POSTS WILL GET
100000 ARMY RIFLES

The war department is now engaged
on plans for the distribution this year
of about 100000 army rifles to Ameri-
can Legion posts throughout the coun-
try. Provision was made for the dis
tribution of those rifles, valued at
about 81. 100000, recently by congress.
In addition to the loan of rifles, the
bill provides for the sale to American
Legion posts of blank ammunition in
suitable amounts for said rifles and
further specifies that the rifles be "ob-
solete or condemned army riles" and
that the number distributed shall not
exceed ten such rifles to any one
post"
The American Legion requested
these obsolete rifles for use 'in con-
nection with the funeral ceremonies Of
deceased soldiers. sailors and marines
and for other post ceremonial pur-
poses" No distribution can he mad"

lean will have been devised.

COUNTRY SHORT ONE MILLION
DWELLINGS; HIGH RENTS AND
COSTS MUST STAY FIVE YEARS

levery big town and city in the country
Here Is his verdict.
.'0nly in Washington does there
seem to be even the beginning of relief
from the tremendous pressure of the
shortage of dwellings that grew up
during the war period" he said.
In Chicago, New York and other
I bgs cities the shortage Of dwellings
seems just as acute as ever.
THE cost OF labor and building ma
terial holds little promise OF going
! down. The general cost of building
has increased from 65 to 10 per cent
since 1913, according to accurate cost
sheets OF experts in the corporation.
Their figures have been tested by
careful application to the construc-
tion of dwellings, of almost every var
iety.
Money Held Up
"Many people who have money to
build houses now are holding off be-
cause they hope prices will drop. This
has "a tendency, of course, to keep
prices up. To get the nations housing
situation back to normal we must
build at a rate calculated to keep
abreast OF the normal increase in de-
mand for dwellings, plus an additional
rate which viii make up the shortage
of 100000 homes now existing. SO
far as can see now, we are not build
ing even at "a rate fast enough to take
care Of the natural increase in de,
mand.
by normal conditions / mean con-
ditions similar to those prevailing in
pre-war days when in every big city
there was a general exchange ofsten-
ants every spring. In some citfes it
also was the custom for landlords to
give one months rent free to incoming
tenants. Such conditions indicate a
nearly equal balance OF supply and
demand. This is normal. 1t will be
at least five years before this condition
is restored, think.
One Hopeful Sign
There is one hopeful sign that
building costs will be reduced even
tually. Architects and contractors
everywhere are working continually to
devise new and short processes of
building. They also are experiment
ing with new materials. Thus many
builders recently attended national /
convention called to discuss the pro-
DOSal OF COutietO hOhoSo
which are poured into moulds and
can be turned out much more quickly
than the average brick or frame house
can be completed.
Another hopeful sign is the COM
bination OF representative citizens in
many localities to building houses in
cooperation, charging a fair rate for
tho money advanced. Quantity pro-
duction of this kind makes for econ |
omy in construction"
Housing corporation experts have |
worked out figures showing the COM
parative cost of erecting in 1913 and |

NEW AGREEMENT .:"'
, FOR COAL MINERS

New York, March 31-The nego-
tiations for new government for
the bituminous coal miners were
brought to close this afternoon
when the general scale committee
of operators and miners Of the CEN
trail competitive field ratified a con-
tract enbodying the award of Pres
ident Wilson's coal CO n'rissioN,
This new agreement which in
wolves a wage increase Of 81 per
cent, becomes effective tomorrow
morning and will continue in force
for a period Of two years.
One of the features of the new
contract is a clause which provides
that all "intermal differences" in the
various districts of the bituminous
coal fields will be settled by the dis
trict officers of the mine workers
and operators. There must be moth
ing done. however. in adjusting these
matters that will increase the earn
ing capacity of the mine workers..
The new agreement also condemns
the bonus system now used by opera
tors in competing with each other fo,
employees. The contract provide.
that all agreements in the various dis,
trict should contain penalty" OF
unauthorized strikes. The :nterna-
tional officers of the United Mine
workers also agree - make the
agreement binding in every detail.
The eight hour day as now in eff
feet in the soft coal regions is con-
tinued by the new agreement.
Immediately upon adoption of the
contract by unanimous vote of The
members of the scale committee it
was signed by the international off
GERS of the United Mine workers, Jno.
L. Lewis, President, and William
Green, secretary and treasurer, and
by two operators and two miners, of

they also would put into effect the
new contract in their territory.

THE PENMANSHIP OF DOCTORS

A physician in one of the large
cities recently wrote prescription
calling for the drug laxol, COM
paratively harmless preparation. The
prescription clerk read it, and, mis-
the word, substituted
ysol, which is, as everyone knows, a
poison. The patient is dead and the
drug clerk is under arrest, charged
with homicide.
Il may be true. as the physician in
this instance claims, that the error
was a piece of stupidity; but the
moral is none the less obvious. nor is
the patient any the less dead. All
physicians should be required by law
to have their prescriptions type
written, practice which is followed
today by many of the most pro-
gressive. At any rate the names of
the drugs should be written in
printed capitals. A few months ago a
medical association conducted an ex-
pertinent to show the likelihood of
error in filling hand-written prescrip
tions-a likelihood which is much
increased by the feeling which many
physicians seem to have that it is
somehow more professional" to
write a grabbed, cryptic, hieroglyph-
ic hand than to use a legible ortho-
graphy. A number of prescriptions,
neither better nor worse as to
legibility than the average, were
to group Of physicians.
Each was asked to make copy Of
the list Of drugs, and the results
were then compared. It was found
that hardly any two doctors
made the same Interpretation of the
on the original pre-
That fatal accidents do not occur
more frequently is a deserving tri-
butte to the intelligence and discre-
ton Of the pharmacist. But we are
certain that the best pharmacists do
not care to add to their efficiency
by their ability to decipher the
scrawl Of some doctors. And the mat
ter is too important to be left to the
of the drug clerk.
