PROCTOR VISITS IDoUCLASEACLES
Grand Worthy President Is Guest of Aerie
 Fine Address

Robert E. Proctor, new Grand Worthy President of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, was the distifl- guished guest of Douglas Aerie No. TIT of that Order last evening and close to 200 Eagles, Auxiliary mem- bers, and friends listened to fine, stirring address by the visitor.
 MT. Proctor, who is also promi- nent attorney of Elkhart, Indiana, is very eloquent and able talkcr. He spoke on the meaning of true fraternalism as exemplified by the Fraternal Order of Eagles, which from its accomplishments in the past and undertakings in the future, Is national in it's scope of achieve .ments for humanity in general.
 History of Order
 Tracing the early history of this great order, the speaker told of the visions of the leaders of the Eagles 25 years ago, for being a national institution of meritous undertaking when they numbered only about 70 900. It was then, he said, he first Joined the Eagles, and later served several terms as president of the Elkhart Aerie. To-day there arc over 100000 Eagles and with the growth of the Order, have mater -ialized the visions of those leaders, in the shape of Old Age Pensions, Ito keep our poor and aged out of the penthouse.
 \ Another issue of widest interest which the Fraternity will try to solve for the benefit of men in general is the unemployment prob lem. Just recently, at the Grand Aerie Convention which was held in San Francisco, resolution was passed that the Order interest itself in the solution of that problem Eleven thousand men and women were present at the meeting of the Grand Aerie and heard P. G. w. P, Frank E. Herring, editor of the Eagles magazine, and father of Mothers Day, deliver significant and wonderful speech on the sub ject. It was during this conven- ton, also, that Robert E. Proctor was unanimously elected as head of the Eagles, and in his address MT Proctor related what it took to make a Grand Worthy President Service he said, lis the word which explains it all; Service for the ideals of the Order"
 This is the third time Grand Worthy President of the Eagles has visited the local Aerie. The first time was 25 years ago/when Frank E. Herring came to Douglas; the second, three years ago when Louis Westerman of Seattle, came north and all were great occasions for Douglas and it's Aerie of Eagles
 Following MT Proctor's address a banquet was served by the Ladies Auxiliary. Both the Aerie and Auxiliary presented d the Grand Worthy President with suitable me ffientoes of his visit to Alaska.

Cleveland, O., which was held in connection with the National Air Races, between August 24 and Sep tember 2 last year.
 She has formed the Women's Aoronautical Associations of Ari- zona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada; Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, B. C.. the latter only few weeks ago, with 56 charter members. | State and city organizations are yaffiliated with the national asso- 1 citation, of which Lady Drum- mond Hay, titled Englishwoman, who has made historical dirigibie flights; Amy Johnson, who flew from England to Australia; Mrs. Richard E. Byrd, wife of Com mander Byrd, who has flown over both North and South Poles, and Mime. Schumann- -Heink, ia m ous grand opera singer, are honorary members. E Confident of Success Mrs. Mcqueen is confident of ef- fecting strong organization hero. She invites the women of the city to meet with her at 7:30 o'clock Monday night at the Gastineau Ho- 1 tel to discuss With her the forming ] of local association. .
 Equipped with strength and vi gor, essential to the successful launching of any cause designed to exercise worldwide influence, Mrs Mcqueen is of prepossessirg ,appearance. Thoroughly familiar with all phases of aviation, she is eloquent and convincing in speak ing on any of It's many branches What impelled her to begin cru
 iading for the aerial cause? Well,
 that is the other story.
 War Relief Work
 After British troops occupied Pal Iestife, Mrs. Mcqueen engaged in
 war relief work there, with head |quarters a. Jerusalem. In that arid, hot region, where slight wounds often became aggravated, and resulted fatally, every precau- ton had to be taken by the sol- diers to prevent hostile tribeslrien from directing sallies against not lonly the military but also the ci- yilian population. Where regl-
 rnents were almost helpless in the
 blistering heat of the desert, few
 planes were effective in the de- fensive operations, she explained
 "f resolved then to preach the Id0ctfine of aviation The air iplane serves to prevent hostilities lit is a messenger of peace. Not long Afterwards, when I was able to be- gin my pilgrimage for the aerial
 cause, and in behalf of friendly ]relatiofis between the United States
 land Great Britain, I was spoeded
 on my way by one of the klndest
 and one of the greatest of military
 commanders.'
 I Letter. From Allenby
 1 Mrs. Mcqueen treasures a letter lfrotn Field Marshal Allenby, dated August 22, 1922, when he was High lC6nnnssloner of Egypt. It reads lin pAft:.
 l "ThS is to introduce my friend Mrs. Mcqueen, who is making Ia tour found the world. She has Hong been working in the cause of

Mysterious Murders of Beheaded Victims
Battle Little Town in New Mexico

AS Mandy grew older his fears
increased. He obtained a huge
police dog TO keep him company.
He believed that someone was try
ing to poison him, and during the
last years Of his life he cooked all
OF his food himself, dismissing his
cook and servant girl and living
absolutely alone in his big, silent
house.
Then his mysterious fears grew.
He talked constantly Of secret un-
foreground passages connecting
with his house. Often he was seen
on the roof, wig-wagging incom-
prehensihle signals TO someone with
colored flags. His place fell into
disrepair. Many of his paintings
and priced bits or furniture vanish

TAOS, N. III. June 4.-For nine
months the secluded art colony In
this little New Mexican city has
been the puzzled possessor of one
Of the strangest murder mysteries
ever recorded-a mystery bizarre
enough to come straight from the
pages Of Edgar Allan Poe.
Unfortunately. however. the
mystery shows no signs Of being
cleared up. and the art colony has
had about all 10 wants Of il. In
TACT. many artists are threatening
70 clear out altogether If the au-
thorities do not find some way Of
solving this case and several other
mysterious murders in which the
victims were beheaded.
The victim il this mystery is
Arthur Rockfort Manly, who was
quite mysterious enough to suit
Taos in the flesh. even before his
decapitated body was found on a
cot in his rambling hacienda here.
The murderer. or murderers, is
or are-nobody knows who. The
motive, judging rom the tangled
threads that Mandy wove into his
extended and devious career, might
have been almost anything.
In the background Is a mystic
rious organization known as the
United States Civil Secret Ser
vice" and officials are unable TO
decide whether 1t was a gigantic
hoax or a far-fiung bunco game.
Whichever il was, Mandy was at
the center of il.
