Spring athletics at the Naval

not at any other institution of
the country in single day. The

Mrs. Smith Tells Neighbors

Mrs. Smith hurried to the home OF
neighbors and reported the affair.
Brooks. in the meantime, fed in the
direction of Laurel, where he was
captured Brooks made no resistance.
On the contrary, he showed a will
lingness to surrender himself. Mean
while, Sheriff Harry T. Levely. who
had been notified OF the tragedy, went
to Laurel and took the prisoner into
custody.
The dead man was boilermaker
by occupation, but had not followed
his trade for more than a year. Be-
sides his widow, he is survived by
a four-year-old daughter. Brooks has
a wife and two children.
Linked with the accusation about
the pig, persons living in the neigh
borhood say that both Smith and
Brooks had been engaged in boot
Logging" for some time; that there
had been bad feeling between the two
for several months, and that Smith
had also accused brooks OK stealing a
still.

wife Witnessed Shooting

Both Smith and Brooks, it appears,
rented small places on the farm OF
John Jones. bricklayer, in the
Fourth district, not far from the
Laurel race track and the Prince
Georges county border line. Accord
ing to the story told by Mrs. Smith
to neighbors soon after the shooting,
she and her husband had left their
home to walk to Annapolis Junction.
On the road they met the negro, and
wordy alteration between her hus-
band and Brooks ensued. Brooks, il
is said, almost without warming.

Smith. The bullet penetrated Smiths
jugular vein and death was practical
ly instantaneous. The tragedy was
committed about 1915 in the after

Our libraries need a large body of
self-appointed patrons, distinct from
borrowers; successful, influential
business and professional men and
women, who believe in the mission of
the library to perform a great edu-
cational and social service, and who
will make it their business to see that
the library is given a chance to make
good in a large way, l. r. Bundy, of
Jefferson City, Mo, told the American

Fo rinstance, there was the work
of the Order during the war. |
think it is safe to say that no
other organization of equal mem
bership accomplished so much a,
the Elks in patriotic service dun
ing the war and Immediately
after. The support of the Sal
walton Army, the use Of the Elks
Clubs for war work, the help to
soldiers, the teaching of
patriotism, the example of indi-
vidual Elks, all combined to leave
on the country which
will be lasting. Any man who
is a member Of the Elks can
not but be proud of the war rec
ord of the Order.
But we are still in the throea
of a period of rebuilding. This
period of rebuilding is going 20
cover many years, for the reason
that our work in this country
will not be done until the recon
struction has taken place in all
the other great countries of the
world. We are 6 great link, prob
ably the greatest link in that
chain of human society called ma
tons, and that chain is really no
stronger than its weakest link.
We may therefore really say that
the reconstruction era has only
Just begun. Europe and Asia
must recover before America can
be entirely well.

The Values and Advantages That Come With Being An Elk

far enough. 1t ought to he fol-
lowed by some more practical
efforts. In nearly every city OF
any size there are generally two
classes of forcign-born people
taken into American citizenship
every year, one in the spring
and the other in the fail. Why
could there not he some way OF
relating the patriotic thought and
action Of the Order OF Elks TO
these people at this time when
they are so sensitive to sympathy
and cooperation from their new
American brothers. Probably
there is no other time in the
experience of these foreign-borG
Americans when they would b.
so susceptible to kindness ana
the right hand Of fellowship a"
when they become citizens Of This
country. Could not every Lodge
have an Americanization Com
mittee whose business it would
be to get into touch with these
people at this time and if they
diG nothing more than present
them with beautiful American
flag they would be accomplishing
something.
But we could do more than
that. We have our splendid
Club Rooms and Lodge Halls
everywhere. Why not have ar
American international" night
a year and invite all these for
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1923-03-30

In such times as these, we need
real men, great leaders. Leaders
may be born but they must also
be trained. The Elks have un-
dertaken a most remarkable
work in the establishing Of schol-
arships for poor and worthy boys
whose mentality gives promise
of leadership. What the value
of a few well trained, able men
of this type can be in their respec-
tive places, we can not overesti-
mate. Here is the beginning OF
a most constructive and helpful
service of the New America that
must come.
Occasionally we see and hear
the expression, "The New Amer
icanism.'- Those three words
sum up for me the national prob
lens of this country for proba-
blv the next two or three gen
erations. We hardly realized un-
til the war came what a con-
glomerate, confused lot of peo-
pie composed the American ma
ton. The old boast that we were
drawn from all parts Of the
world was gloriously and pathc,-
ically true. It was gloriously
true because the United States
has been a refuge for oppressed
people and land of promise for
ambitious people. Naturally peo-
pie flocked here from every
quarter 1t was pathetically true
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1923-03-30

what such men banded together
in fellowship can achieve. One
of the ideals toward which hui
man society has been striving Tor
countless ages is unity and CO.
operation. As society realizes
this ideal it becomes more fra
ternal ana useful. The ultimate
goal for humanity, | should say,
is a great fellowship based on
service. 1t seems to be the case
that we need fellowship in or
der to understand one another
before we can achieve coopera-
ton. or, to put it in another
way, brotherliness is necessary
to unity and progress.
The Order Of Elks not only
teaches but inspires fellowship.
This fellowship is not slushy bu;
yirilc. It is the fellowship Of men
no have an aim and are going in
the direction OF that aim and
are carrying others along with
them in the same direction. To,s
fellowship Of constructive ideal
ism is force which draws the
most creative and active men or
our great American commun1-
ties into the Order and unites
them for the purpose of doing
things.
The constructive ideals OF the
Order of Elks growing out of.thiS
fellowship can he seen and val
ued in many very practical ways.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1923-03-30

institutions which people create.
OF all the interesting people in
this world none are more interest
ing to me than Elks. And of all
the interesting institutions Great
ed by people none is more valu-
able to American men in many
ways than the Order of Elks.
Creative genius makes a person
interesting and valuable. Crea-
tive work makes fraternal or
ganization worth while. As Gre
ators, Elks and the Order OF
Elks have 4 big place in our life.
A great French scientist has
pointed out that there are four
sexes; men who are men, men
who are women, women who are
women, and women who are men.
All the Elks l. ever knew are
men who are men. 1t is Won
dertul 10 nave membership II
an organization composed of mc:-
who are men. Any person who
knows Elks will readily adnl
that they are a group of rca'
men who have real ideas, who
are really going to put them in,c
effect. in a real, practical wori6
Practical, constructive reality is
certainly enc Of the outstanding
and striking elements of the Or
der.
But even real men. standing
individually and alone. can ac-
comphsh little compared with
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1923-03-30

because we never really assimi-
lated millions of these people.
Consequently in all of our large
cities we nave little Hungarys'
little Russians. little Italys, lit
tie Greeces, etc. Instead of De-
ing all one great American pec-
pie we are many different peo-
pies iumbled together. The glory
of our population is in its posi-
bility, the pathos is in its lack
of unity. Our problem for the
next one hundred years will be
to create unit, IL this great mass
of discordant and distressed hu-
mainly.
1t does not seem egotism to
say that one of the greatest or
CARNATIONS in the country 10
bring this about, is the Order OF
Elks. Take, for example, our
celebration of Flag Day. Here
in the city of Flint our celebra-
ton of Flag Day last June al
tracted more people than the
November Armistice Day par
ade. and | think it was a greater
demonstration N many ways.
There are no reasons why the
observance of Flag Day can not
be more universe! and more
forceful in its observation. It
can become a rallying point for
unifying the people.
Fine as the Flag Day observ-
ance is, I do not think 1t goes
