some Elks who fan to realize that
every Elks' Hall should be a hive
of industry and not merely Il
temple of idle luxury, for there
are at all times activities in
plenty to engage the attention
and part time of all who are
willing to sacrifice little of their
time for the well being of their
fellow man.
1t is not enough that a men,
Der should be satisfied with
merely paying his dues and at
tending an occasional session;
there is work for all, and all
should take a pride in doing
their share. The work of the
various committees can be con-
sidcrably lightened when under
taken with that earnestness and
cordiality that the seriousness of
the work demands. 1t is mani
testify unfair for members to
shirk such duties; the shirker, in
truth is not honestly living up to
the obligations he assumed on
admission to the Order, and
should be made to see it in this
light. In the hive of bees, the
drone is not tolerated. He is
stung to death and thrown out.
Such a course is not advocated
nor even desired in the Elks'
great hive of industry, but it is
of paramount Importance that
the delinquent in this regard be
sternly brought to task, and urg-
ed to shoulder his share of the
burden.
Let each member of Alexandria
Lodge No. 758 make a personal
investigation and after careful
scrutiny honestly decide for him
self whether he is an Elk or just
4 member.
Should the latter be his de-
cision. remember brother there is |
no time like the present 10 she
a change Of front. Mend your |
ways and be an ELK In all the !,
membership implies.

THE ELkS; IT'S HAUNTS AND
HABITS

| Il IN y ~ .hANi'
HABITS
The Elk one of our most in
teresting animals, is found in all
parts of the United States.
Though commonly considered as
wild, the Elk has become part
| ly domesticated. 1t gives strange
cry when 1ccosted which sounds
very much like Hello Bill"
Elks are often found roam
ing about at night, usually in
small herds. Their principal food
is welsh rarebit and club sand
witches, After feeding they some
time stampede. Their bellows can
be heard for miles on these oc-
casionS.
The Elk is a brave animal, ex-
ccpt in the presence of his mate,
when he becomes exceedingly
quiet. 1t has often been known
to lie still for a long time; in
fact, some Elks began to lie when
they first met their mates and
are lying still.
Elks have beautiful teeth, which
ibe the way, are their principal
charms. The Elks has a strong
constitution, and can go for
long time without water; in fact
it has been said that some of
them never drink water, but this
is a myth. Events have proven
otherwise,
The Elks are protected by the
Government. 1t is unlawful to
shoot them. OF course the domes-
ticated Elk, of whom there are
countless thousands in the United
States, is possessor of most Of
the virtues of humanity and with
no more than an average of hum
anity'S vices.

Combating beauty with utility, ma
terial is being made from skinned
milk by process recently brought to
the United States from England. As
1t Is non.infiammable, odohess, and
can be drilled, glued or dyeds 1t has
multitude of uses as substitute for
ivory, ebony, amber, rortoiseshell, horn,
and other similar products. Besides,
It may be used as an almost perfect
imitation of many natural products Of
great price, among them being Chinese
/. Jade and lapis lazuli. A brilliant
polish is easily obtained and it can
be bent, pressed, and. to some extent,
moulded, or machined. AS it is non
conductor Of electricity, it may be
used in making decorative radio and
lighting fixtures. Also it has been
found valuable for ships cabins, hand
rails, automobile fixtures, and in the
making of beads, buckles. buttons.

mills have earned a total net income
after expenses and taxes amounting to
$6,363,461, or an average return Of
about 7.s per cent for the entire group.
1t is worth noting that great varia-
tons in the percentage of net earnings
to net worth are found, some companies
reporting only fraction of per cent
as their net return, while others run
higher in varying degrees. Several
were operated at a net loss. 1t is also
interesting TO observe that the largest
percentage of return is by no means
obtained by the largest companies.
Total cash dividends declared DIR,
ing the year 1922 were $2,27S,634, or
an average percentage of slightly over
3.s per cent on total capitalization Of
.$64, 664,061 (reckoning both common
and preferred stock as the basis of
computation). Four companies de-
clared no dividends whatever. Two
stock dividends were declared, amount
ing together to $2,s2s,900, or slightly
less than as per cent on the combined
capitalization just mentioned.

recent years, much has been made Of

"A FLOWER unknown: book un-

A tree with fruit unharvested;
+ path untrod; house whose rooms
Lack yet the hearts divine perfumes;
landscape whose wide border lies
In silent shade, meath silent skies;
wondrous fountain yet unsealed;
A casket with its gifts concealed
This is the year that for you waits
Beyond Tomorrow's mystic gates.
Oh, may this flower unfold to you
Visions of beauty sweet and new;
This book on golden pages trace
Your sacred joys and deeds of grace
May all the fruits of this strange tree
Luscious and rosy-tinted be;
This path through fields Of knowledge
go:
This house with 1ove's<consent o'erfiow;
This landscape glitter with the dew
OF blessed hopes and friendships true;
This fountains living crystal cheer,
As fail the springs that once were dear;
This casket with such gems be stored
As shine in lives that love the Lord.

SOME RECORDS IN THINNEss
Platinum Wire, Filament Of Spiders
Web and Soap Bubble at
lts Dark Spot.

Platinum wire has been drawn so
fine that 10000 pieces Of 1t placed side
by side would not cover more than an
Inch, while $50 pieces bound together
would be necessary to form thread
as thick as flament Of raw silk.
A mile of this wire would not weigh
more than grain, while seven ounces
Of it would extend from London to
New York.
Fine as Is the filament produced by
the silkworm that produced by the
spider Is even more attenuated. II, for
instance, a thread Of spiders web
measured four miles, 1t would weigh
little more than a grain.
As soap bubble floats in the light
Of the sun 1t reflects to the eye an
endless variety Of gorgeous tints.
Newton showed that to each of these
tints corresponds certain thickness
Of the substance forming the bubble;
In fact, he showed that all transparent
substances, when reduced to certain
degree Of thinness, would reflect these
colors.
Near the highest point Of the bub-
BILE, just before It bursts. can be seen
spot which reflects no color and APP
pears black. According to Newton, the
thickness Of the bubble at this black
point is the 2.5OO.OO0th part of an
Inch.

statements that earnings returns were
frequently vitiated by the existence of
very large allowances for depreciation,
it is especially worth comment that
total allowanc for depreciation and
depletion of every kind aggregated,
during the year 1922, for this group of
companies, total sum of $2,9S4,014,
or the equivalent of about 3.4 per cent
Of the entire net worth of the group
as already stated.
1t would appear that whether viewed
as a return upon business turnover or
upon the value of the output; or
whether viewed as return upon actual
investment, the earnings of representa-
tive cement producers during the year
1922 have been we'll below the average
obtained by industrial undertakings at
large.
From this POINT of view, too, it is
noteworthy that the eleven companies
under study materially reduced their
prices during 1922, receiving on the
average $.15257 less per barrel than in
1921. This. figure represents the diff
ference between an average 1921 price
Of $1.7s4s3 and a price. for 1922 OF
$1.60196 As reported.
