roo MUCH FOR NEW YORKER
Horribic Night Spent in the Maine
Woods Turned His Hair White,
According to Story.

Can a mans hair turn white in q
night? L. p. Coates of Solon declares
that it can, and to prove it tells an
unusual story of fishing trip In
Maine, says the Lewiston Journal.
my son-in-law and his family he
relates, "were down here visiting while
on their vacation and one fine after
noon they proposed going fishing. So
we started in their auto to go down
six miles to brook. We fell in with
a party going to the same place, so
we formed crews. We left our auto,
and started for a brook, through the
woods. We arrived at the brook, and
soon the other party was out of sight
down the brook. AS 1t was getting
late we started for home, as there
were three girls and two boys, my
son-in-law and myself. So we got out
all right. The others fished until dark;
and had gone long way when they
started for home. Not knowing the
country, they soon found they were
lost in a dense wood and dark as
pocket. They shouted, but no answer
came, so they were doomed for the
night The boy lay down and soon
was fast asleep, but the man FROM
New York was afraid Of wild anl-
mails, so he leaned against tree. In
the night he saw two eyes like balls
Of fire coming. His first thought was
to climb the tree; then he thought OF
seeing the boy devoured by wild an
imal, and he couldn't stand that, so he
stood his ground; but 1t proved to be
nothing but rabbit. They got
through the night all right and got
home safe and sound. But the next
day people noticed that the New York
er's hair had turned white"

MINE Loss OF LIFE
Rests on Owners, Declares
Labor Head, Refuting
Director Bain's
Claim

Washington. mine work
ers deny the claim by Fl. Foster Balm,
director Of the United States bureau
of mines, that the "let-down" of mo-
rale on the part of the Individual
miner" is responsible for increased
number of accidents caused by falls
Of mine roofs and coal falling at the
working face of the mine.
"Roofs have a tendency to cut
when idle" said Edgar Wallace, mem
Der of the United Mine Workers and
legislative representative of the A. F.
of l.. "The morale of the workers
has nothing to do with coal falling at
the working face. When work is start
ed in mine that has been idle for
several months the roof falls because
it has been broken. This would not
be so apt to happen if the mine was
being operated and continuous ad
vance was being made"
Director Bain's statement has been
given wide publicity in the public
press, which did not overlook the in
ference that the miners are response
BILE for many accidents. The most
disastrous explosion in recent years
was at Bessemer, Alabama. The min
ers' strike had nothing to do with this
disaster, as the union men in that
field cannot assert themselves. This
mine operated continuously during
the five months strike. The deadly
explosion at the Spangler mine, Penn
sylvania, was caused by coal dust.
"The director of mines must know
that no individual miner can provide
known preventatives for coal dust ex-
plosions," said Mr.. Wallace. "The
dampening of coal dust or the neu-
tralizing of coal dust by spreading
shale dust is necessarily the business
of the management. Other preventa-
tives that only the management can
apply are: Keeping mine clear of
explosive gasses by ventilation; con-
slant watchfulness on the part of
highly trained men in the position of
fire bosses, who should be supplied
in adequate numbers by the manage
ment. No Individual miner, except he
be provided with necessary equipment
by the management, can contribute
to the neutralizing of dangerous ac-
emulation of coal dust, or to proper
ventilation, which will prevent danger

ARE YOU AN ELK OR
MERELY A MEMBER?

Are you an Elk or just a member
of the lodge?
If you have any real doubt as to
which class you are in you are GER
tainly in the latter. A true Elk knows
himself and knows his class.
An Elk is a member of the order
who participates in all its activities,
visits the lodge frequently, doesn't
wait to be dunned for his dues, brings
wholesome suggestions to the Off
GERS, abides by the house rules, and
is ever ready to answer the call to
the full duty of Elkdom.
A mere member is one who accepts
initiation as he would an examina-
ton for life insurance policy and
goes his way unmindful of the full
meaning of the obligation he has
taken.
| The true Elk is full of cal and sac
rificing in spirit and in act. He is
courteous and kind and kicks in
cheerfully and gladly when the occa-
sion arises. If there is something to
be done, he does it. The Elks home
is as sacred to him is his own fireside
The near Elk has neither zeal nor a
spirit of sacrifice, and if there is any
thing to be done--"well, let so and SO
do it, he has more time than L.
The real Elk is an equipped, well
disciplined member of an army OF
charity-not only the charity that
gives succor, but the charity that
overlooks faults, spreads good cheer
applauds good deeds for their good
alone and finds no one without some
good in him.
The mere member is a sutler in the
army and he usually wants the SUI
ler's privileges. With him, charity
! is carefully calculated gift to re-
lieve the indefinite poor, given with
Pharasical humility and with a def
mite thought that it will be returned
to him twofold. The Z ks home to
him as a clearing house for gossip
anent the real or fancied incompe-
tence of the officers of the lodge
The true Elk is the heart of the fra
ternity. Through him it survives and
grows great. The near Elk or mere
member is the reluctant, torpid organ
of a great generous body, and through
him it alone would sicken and might
die.
Nine-tenths of the members of the
order are real Elks. Less than one
tenth come in the category of mere
members.
Be sure you are an Elk.

ORIGIN OF CHEEKY
GREETING OF ELKS

William Goddard, of Minneapolis
Lodge No. A, is the original Hello
Rill' Of Eikdom; and his CHEEKY salu-
tation, which has found its way
around the world, originated in Min
neapolis during the Elks' National
convention in that city in 1897.
Mr.. Goddard was treasurer of the
Minneapolis lodge, chairman of the
finance committee, and a member OF
great many other committees that
had in charge the arrangements for
the Elks' reunion that year, and he
spent much time at the committee
headquarters.
When visiting Elks came to head
quarters to inquire about various
matters, if they happened to meet any
one who was not fully posted they
were generally told to Go over there
and ask Billy Goddard, and it wac
a constant stream of Billy, can you
tell me this?" See Billy, he knows
etc. This was repeated so incessant-
ly that the stranger Elks, when the,
approached Mr.. Goddard, greeted him
with the expression, Hello, Bill!'
In a day or two the custom spread
to the streets with Elks from all parts
of the country. ard, in passing each
other, they sang out cheerfully,
Hello, Bill and they carried the
greeting back to their home lodges;
and so it has spread to the end of the
earth.
Hello, Bill"

HOW AN ELK'SCARD
SERVED AS PASSPORT

The following shows how an Elk's
card proved valuable in the European
war zone, says the jolly Elk:
On the morning Of that historic day,
Aug. /, 1914, in Berlin, Germany,
Brother w. Ziewart of Milwaukee
Lodge, No. 46, read that all foreigners
were TO provide themselves with pass
ports, for no one without proper Gre
dentials would thereafter lie permit
ted to move about in Europe.
He Immediately called at the en-
bassy of the United States and made
application for an emergency pass
port, for, being able 10 talk the Ger
man language (more so the Berlin
dialecD like a native, he had a pre-
monition that he would be taken for
a German and possibly get into diff
Guilty with the military upon leaving
the country.
Our ambassador, j. w. Gerard,
asked: Have you anything to show
that you are a citizen of the United
States?" Without hesitation, Brother
Ziewart presented his membership
card, showing him to be an Elk III
good standing, with the comment:
How that?' Nothing better in all
the world was the ambassadors re-
ply, and our brother was provided
with passports, which carried him
safely out of the war zone.
Brother Ziewart, born in Milwau-
kee, Joined No. 46 in 1900, became a
life member in 1914, and claims that
while he always carried his member
ship card with him, in this particular
instance it was brought home very
forcibly upon him of what real and
true value the card really is to an
Elk in good standing.
