MEMBER or EIGHTEEN
 FRATERNAL ORDERS
Secretary of Labor Davis. Although Member of Eighteen Fraternal
 Orders, Is Not Millionaire.
By Harry Ward,


 International News Service stan
 Correspondent
 Washington, June 20.--Secretary of Labor Davis today confessed that he isn't millionaire. The man who rose from a puddler in the steel mills of Pittsburgh to the dignity of a cab inet officer laughingly said that the report that he was in the magical class of the wealthy was greatly ex- aggerated."
 He then explained how the report that be was millionaire got abroad. It appears that long before he ever dreamed of sitting around the cabinet table of the president of the United States he had occasion as director general of the Loyal Order of Moose to apply to Pittsburgh banker for the loan of 100000 to finance cer- tain activities of that fraternal organ ization. The banker, taking the ap- plication under consideration, called in some of his associates for advice.
 Who is this man Davis 2" he asked.
 Why, he is the general organizer of the Moose and every one of it's 600,000 members pays him $2 year. one of the bankers replied.
 He got the loan all right, and that is how the story originated that he was millionaire.
 "Jim" Davis, as the new Secretary of Labor is affectionately called, is a "jiner." He is member of eighteen fraternal and other organizations, but the Loyal Order of Moose claims most of his attention. He joined that order in 1906, becoming it's 247th member. Since 1907, he has been it's director general and under his administration it now numbers over 600,000 mem bers.
 The Labor Secretary was born in Tregedar, Wales, on October 27, 1873. and was brought to this country by his parents in 1881 When but eleven years of age he started out to work and found hard employment in the steel mills at Sharon, Pa. In 1892 he went to Pittsburgh and worked in the steel mills there as a puddler. Later he went to Ellwood, Ind. and became county clerk. He still hold union card in the Alagamated Iron and Steel Workers International Union.

ent. Doctor Beclere. q weli-known stu

In new method for Identifying crini-

Ordinarily such a photograph would
not show the flesh. but In order that
the record may be complete the fingers
are soaked In an opaque salt. by
