LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE

Phoenix lodge No. 70S held a very
 enjoyable and interesting meeting
 last Wednesday, night fine class
 of candidates were initiated into the
 James J. Davis class and several new
 applications were presented. The
 members of Phoenix lodge are deter
 mined to make the balance of the
 time of the special campaign a big
 success and several of the members
 are trying to see if they can bring
 in just a few more than the other.
 It looks as if we were going to have
 a good big class for the New Year
 initiation. Don't forget that the dis
 pensation has been extended for the
 rest of this month and every member
 should do his best to make good his
 pledge to bring in at least one new
 member for the James J. Davis class.
 Our next regular meeting will be next
 Wednesday night and a class will be
 present for initiation, and that will
 be the last initiation until the New
 Years class is initiated, either on
 New Years eve or on New Years
 day. If a large enough class can be
 secured, and we are sure that it will
 be, there will be a special meeting and a special program for the initia-
 tion of this class. The entertainment
 committee reported the Thanksgiving
 dinner a success, both financially and
 otherwise, and several members who
 attended inquired if we were ready
 to arrange for another feed, as they thought that they would be getting
 hungry soon. A letter from Rodney
 H. Brandon, supreme secretary, indi-
 cates that the Loyal Order of Moose
 are going to show substantial gain as the result of the united effort of all of the lodges. And the same thing can be said of Phoenix lodge if every
 member will unite his effort with ev- cry other member of this lodge and double our membership in honor of our director general, who has built the Loyal Order of Moose from 247 members about 15 years ago to nearly 100000 members in good standing, all striving for the one united effort of building a greater Mooseheart and more Moosehearts, so that in time to come the Loyal Order of Moose will not only be able to take care of their own orphans but be ready to take any
 unfortunate child who may have lost 1 it's father and mother and is left with out the means of a proper education and bring them up and make good American citizens of them. The women of Mooseheart legion will hold a regular meeting next Wednesday night and several new members are expected for initiation. New officers will be nominated some time this month and installed the first meeting l in January. Brother Moose, the la- dies of the legion have made an ap-
 peal to this lodge to help secure few
 more members for their chapter, sc | if your wife, mother, sister or daugh- | ter are not members, please bring 1 them to the meeting next week. Ev- cry one should make special effort 1 to be present at the next meeting as several matters of importance vii
 come before the meeting. All visit l ing members are invited to call al
 Moose club and to attend our meeting

BROTHERHOOD OF AMERICAN
 YEOMEN

The Knights of Pythias hall fairly reeked with gruesome shrieks and horrible screams last Thursday even ing, the outcries of the ten victims of the Yeomen initiatory exercises. No casualties resulted, however, and at this writing all ten are still in town and able to take nourishment.
 After the meeting the evening was given over to the Tight fantastic" and three of our able musicians played delightful harmonies on piano and violin.
 The big event of Phoenix Yeomanry is to take place on the 18th of this month, when a masquerade ball is to be given at the Frolic- Tickets are now on sale and, oh boy. wait until our Thespians tread the boards at the School of Music on the 18th. Yes, the Yeomen are proving that they have capable members in all fields, espe- ciany in the dramatic and musical ones.

 WHEN DAWN CAME ;

A special showing of Hugh E. Dierker's master picture, When Dawn Came" was witnessed by a committee from the Knights of Co., lumbus lodge at Mauk's Columbia theater yesterday morning.
 All were unanimous in declaring ''When Dawn Came" to be one of the strongest, most wholesome true to life dramas ever witnessed. Several of the scenes that were exceptionally pleasing were filmed in the historic mission at San Capistrano.
 The following letter was written to MT. Dierker by Archbishop Edward J. Hanna of San Francisco, who wit messed the picture before it was re- leased:
 My dear MT. Dierker:
 T have great pleasure In commend ing to our American people your photoplay "When Dawn Came" II is both dramatic and artistic and its religious spirit will merit for it a lasting place in the hearts of your patrons, no matter what their belle1 may be.

II SUPERCHILD.

/ The public prints have been paying considerable at
tention to Washington health reports of recent days
and among them the Boston Transcript has taken up
the Ohio experiment and says:
announcement is made in Washington that Rich
land county, Ohio, has been selected as the place in
which the National Child Health Council will conduct
"a demonstration of what American communities can
do for the most healthful development of their chill
dren. Richland county includes the city of Mansfield,
a town of considerable Importance as a railroad CEN
ter and a manufacturing community. Its population
is in excess of 10000. The National Child Health
Council. which. for five years, will direct. the work in
Mansfield and the rest of Rchland county, is COM
posed of six national organizations wholly or partly
engaged in promoting the health of children. These
bodies are the American Child Hygiene association,
American Red Cross, Child Health Organization of
America, National Child Labor committee, National
Organization for Public Health Nursing, and the Ma
tional tuberculosis association 1t is stated that Of
fcials, physicians and citizens generally in Mansfield
have promised hearty cooperation in the experiment.
whether little Johnny and his sisters are equally
enthusiastic does not1appear from the published state
ment. Perhaps they are not yet informed as to what
is in store for them. 1t is to be hoped that, as the
organizations with the impressive names get busy in
Mansfield, there will be added joy in the lives of the
subjects of experiment. 1t is to be assumed, of
course, that such will be the case, and that the young
sters will be looked upon as normal human beings, en-
titled to full measure of childish pleasures, instead of
being regarded merely as laboratory specimens. The
sunshine which fun and frolic pour into youthful
hearts should not be lessened in a campaign in which,
doubtless, much stress will be laid upon the value of
sunshine of the other sort
Question arises whether the plans for the demon
~stration include efforts to mend the lot of the poor lit
tie rich child. It is not forgotten that, at the conven-
ton of the American Medical association in Boston
last June, doctors reported that they had discovered
malnutrition to be as prevalent among the children of
the rich and the weIl-to-do as among the children of
the poor. If that condition obtains in Mansfield, GER
tainly the poor little rich child should not be over
looked in the general endeavor to improve the health
and strength of the rising generation.
GAS described by its promoters, the direct object
i've of the experiment will be a practical demonstra-
ton of what a typical American community can do
to increase the health and strength of the next gen.
Grafton. The Child Health Council, it is added, hopes
to develop a program for child health SO comprehen-
sive and well-balanced as to be of use to other COM
munities all over the country. 1t is work which mer-
its success, and which may be expected to produce re-
suits of value, even IL it falls short of showing how
to train the rising generation to a state Of physical
perfection"

an $1,1ls.
I'VE read that during the last 10 months $1,000
persons were killed on the highways of this country
ard are shocked that $4,000 of these were children.
In e sort of whirl what the psycho-analysts refer to
as self-pity, we revel IN our taxes, and It appears to
afford US a mild glow to know that each one of US, On
the average, will spend $50 to keep our beloved coun-
try going next year. As for New Workers, they speak
of the city's debt which on January 1, 1921, was ST.
$50, soc, S61.4I, with awe, and appear to take a sort
ii weird pride in the fact that it is larger than ever
before. The discussion between Mr.. Brown and Mr..
Craig as to whether New York has exceeded its debt
limit by 500. 900, 900 or whether it hasn't is perused
with delight, although no one could explain why.
Henry Ford has achieved the eminence of a national
saint because, wherever he goes, he is surrounded with
a halo of millions. Any orator who can rattle off fig
ures, no matter what they mean, is assured Of a
hearing.
sis this because we are a too severely practical peo-
pie, a nation of shopkeepers? Not at all. 1t is be-
cause numbers are at the base of all things-musr,
art, literature, life. The proposition that two and two
make four never ceases to charm"

DRIVERS WITH a HISTORY.

DRIVERS of automobiles who make trouble finally
with a crash Of serious Character observes the New
Haven Journal, usually have a history. Just as the
seemingly sound oak tree when it lies PROSTATE be-
fore the gale lies revealed weak and defective at the
heart, SO as a rule there is an explanation when some
driver sides wipes the citizen quitely going his way, or
terribly overturns himself or others, perhaps with IA
tai results. Not always, but often.
quite recently a young man met his death in his
car. As the details came out and all the facts, it de-
veloped that his fast and needless driving was re-
marked. His friends knew it and commented on it.
He was not as other automobilists are. This ran on
for some time; at last the law of chance-silent, re-
morseless-caught him.
Some time ago, another driver wrecked a party
and created a sensation. The victims were severely in
jured, the driver escaping by that strange law that
keeps the theory of vicarious sacrifice to the fore.
The accident nearly deprived the world of persons
whom it would not willingly lose. When the matter
was canvassed and all the evidence was in from the
rear towns, it appeared that this man was known as a
desperate driver. He was not content to use his ma
chine as a means of transportation but he had to
step on her and dash TO and fro to make the ground
lings stare. So definite was this that persons stepped
forward to say that long before the accident they had
driven with him but once only, telling him with some
heat, never again 1t is probably true that in many,
if not most cases, where there is disaster the explana-
ton lies in the past-that accident is a logical out
come of recklessness.
at may be profitable to introduce the law of chance
as a topic in the schools. 1t is not only curious but
impressive. 1t is definitely known how often one may
take a crossing 'on the high or cut in on a car in ad-
vance in perfect safety, the next time, however to be
eligible for the hospital or related institutions"

THE FASCINATION FOR FIGURES.

"The passion that Americans have for statistics and
numbers of all sorts remains unabated," observes the
New York Tribune. $50 long as the number of any
thing is given it carries its own appeal. Thus we read
that the new steamship Majestic will be 1000 tons
bigger than the Leviathan and will carry 5000 per-
sons, and Immediately we place them in a row mem
tally to see how far they will stretch. A woman sues
her husband for divorce and demands $1,000 a week
alimony, and we temporarily gasp with satisfaction
! until later the figures are reduced, and We are cor
srespondingly disappointed.

HAS NO CRITICISM COMING.

William G. McAdoo, the man who as director of
railroads is directly responsible for the present plight
of the American railroads, is the identical person to
offer criticism upon the efforts OF other people to
place them in position to make their earnings pay the
expenses; and to so arrange the debts piled up against
them to give the least trouble during the period of
recovery.
When wages were increased beyond reason and
paid out of the federal treasury things were going
fine but when the roads must dig the payrolls them
selves, it something else. 1
When things began to pinch McAdoo was the first
to cut and run. He could scarcely wait to get into
the moving picture business.
Of all persons criticism from McAdoo comes with
the poorest grace.
