Last Friday evening all of the ses-
sions Of the oath annual meeting Of
the Grand Lodge Of the Improved
Benevolent Protective Order Of Elks
throughout the world came to an end
and all the acts OF its members,
whether they were good or bad, have
passed into history.
There is one thing that can be said
70 the everlasting credit of the visit
inc Elks, namely, that with one or
two exceptions, they and the visiting
ladv Elks all conducted themselves
like ladies and gentlemen, and from
the time that the first Elk landed in
this great city until the very last one
had departed from it, the middle of
this week, all the people We'd with each
other to make their visits to this city
long to Be remembered and the Elks
had Chicago in most every way for
one full week and its citizens made
it possible for them to come in con-
tact with all of the most wonderful
sights that can be beheld in any city
in the world.
The visiting Elks were royalty en-
tertained all-the time. feasting on the
best in the lannd, with plenty Of soft
drinks to wash the rich eating down,
and at all times they were received
with open arms and extended hands
and they were made to feel at home
everywhere within the confines of the
Queen City Of the Middle West.
AS far as we have been able to learn,
only one visiting Elk walked right
into trouble in this city He stated
after being arrested that he was more
than 20 years old. It seems that he
had been drinking something real
strong which affected his head; then
he displayed a large roll Of money.
His friends warned him that that was
bad thing to do, as holdup men Or
other robbers might strong-arm him
and relieve him OF every dollar Of his
money, which he waved over the top
OF his head. The more that his friends
endeavored to quiet him down and
urged him to accompany them to his
lodgings. the louder he talked, and
finally several policemen walked up
in front Of him and his friends to see
what the trouble was. and after look
ing over the situation they decided
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-09-08

showed that on July 10, the number
Of applicants exceeded that Of the
previous year BY several hundred and
there has been no abatement what
ever in this direction since that time.
No single factor has been more re-
sponsible for this increase than has the
advanced Teacher-Training Course
which was added at the April meeting
Of the Board Of Trustees. This
course, which IS equivalent to a junior
college course, is open to graduates
OF standard high schools and IS de-
signed to prepare young men and
women as teachers. A large number
Of applicants from all sections Of the
country has been received and all in
dications point to a very successful
and significant initial year.
It IS also significant to note the
large number of applicants from
northern states and foreign countries
The former in the main are high
school graduates desiring vocational
training along mechanical lines, while
the latter are enrolling for the most
part in the Agricultural Department
A large number Of students have al
ready arrived and are anxious to get
to work.

SCENTING DANGER

The automobile dealers are beginning to sense
menacing danger. They are finding that in freefor
all competition for business obtained through trades
for secondhand machines they likely to find
their profits tied up in used of uncertain value
In Orange county the dealers have established sys-
tenn of disposng Of used for cash and accepting
in trade This, it is said, tends to stabilize the
business and to have the absorb the losses that
have heretofore been borne by the dealers 1t has the
surface appearance of good plan and it may we'll be
hoped auto dealers will have their financial condition
improved by it. The auto business is one of the big
gest in the country perhaps the largest one with the
single exception of farming and disaster to it would
prove serious thing for the country Almost at the be-
ginning OF the automobile the bankers of the country
began discussing the dangers of it to the economic life
The fact that they much alarmed dozen
years ago they indicates that their alarm
may not have reference to real danger May we not
hope so?

"Ah, April Fool, I suppose"

"Well, all right said Uncle

looked at the paper in which it was
wrapped. "Ill tear q little hole in

When Uncle Wiggily tore off a

the word EARS on the box.

not. How can ears be in that box?

just then there was black sha-

taking away the box Uncle Butter
had given him while a voice growl-
ed:
'I1l take those! Ears are what
I want. I suppose you put your
ears in that box to April Fool me,
Uncle Wiggily! But you can t..
III take them!' And the Bob Cat
reached over and snatched away
the box. Uncle Wiggily was much
surprised, but while the Bob Cat
! was.o opening the box, hoping to get
7 ears to nibble, the bunny gentle
man ran away. And when the Bob
Cat had taken off all the paper on
the box what do you suppose he
found inside?
Not Uncle Wiggily's ears, of
course, for they were safely under
the bunny's tall silk hat. But in
| the box was pair of SHEARS.
Wasn't that funny9 The first two
letters of the name were covered,
making it look like EARS.
"Fooled again!'' howled the Bot
Cat, as he stuck himself on the
pointed shears which Aunt Lett:e
had sent to Nurse Jane. "Fooled
again!'

LESS DELINQUENCY

Chicago reports, for last year, decrease in juv-
emile delinquency Of approximately 80 per cent. A
corresponding decrease in adult crime is expected to
appear five to 10 years from now, because the two
things believed to be closely related This decided
improvement is attributed quite largely to the social
service and welfare work of schools and private organ
zations of that city.
