INNOCENCE ABROAD

The writer dropped into the Elks
Club Room the other evening and was
impressed with the picture that pre-
sented itself to view. Right here let
me say that they have mighty fine,
coxy, honey, hospitable home down
there Everybody around there seemed
TO be everybody else's friend and
neighbor and brother and a spirit OF
cordially and hospitality and friend
liness and ikeableness and loveable-
ness and charity and AItruism and
philantiophy and sympathy and help
fulness and "eome over to our house"
spirit seems to permeate the very air
and extends its hand in 'Hello Bill,
how are you and how's the folks"
greeting, from the moment you enter
its precincts.
Over in one corner sat two Elks
playing checkers. Near them another
member of the antlered herd was
reading book (probably the Lives
of the Saints") which he had selected
from their complete and well stocked
library. Hard by were four other
noble survivors of the forest intently
engaged in a game of Finch or Au-
thors or something of the sort. An
other Wapiti sat over in the corner
with pencil and dictionary heroicaiiy
engaged in working crossword puz-
zle and giving vent to such harsh
calculations as "ny goodness" and
gracious me- Out on the lawn could
be seen several other members weav-
ing garlands Of dandelions and Just
beyond four other brothers were en-
joying game of croquet in the dying
glory of Montana January sunset.
Have you ever thought of the
wealth that perished when Paradise
was lost7 Well, it wasn't lost. It's
stiH existant. 1t was rediscovered
and gloriously resurrected in 1868
when the Fraternal and Benevolent
Order of Elks was instituted, organic
ed and established.

SLIP IN EARTH CAUSE
OF NORTHWEST QUAKE
Or. cIapp Of University Of Montana
Explains the Phenomena
Of Faults

AissOula.-SOme earthquakes are
due TO large landsMdes and to violent
volcanic eruptions. but most OF them
are undoubtedly caused by slipping Of
great faults or fractures in the earth's
crust. President c. P. Clapp, Of the
University of Montana, states.
Judging from reports from various
parts of Montana. the earthquake OF
June q was the result Of slip along
one of the major faults in the eastern
part OF the mountain region Of Mon
fana, DIR. Clapp an authority on geol-
ogy, said.
He estimated the location OF the
fault at some distance east Of line
between Butte and Helena.
''There is little to fear from such an
earthquake" he added. "and 1t is prob
able that this slip has relieved the
stress to such an extent that another
earthquake viii not occur for several
years"
Fault movements. he declared, are
rarely or never Of slow, continuous
nature. but are sudden and intermit-
tent. taking place after a period Of
quiet. during which the earth's strains
accumulate to such an extent that the
resistance to movement Is overcome I
and a sudden slip fakes place.
The intensity OF an earthquake de-
ponds upon the amount OF the slip. the
size Of the area affected and the depth.
''The effect Of sudden slip along
a fault said Or. Clapp ais to send
out vibration IN all directions and
these vibrations are earthquakes as it
is felt at some distance from the place
Of origin.
