GREAT LAKES MISS

Unprecedented Mild Weather

CHICAGO, February 2S-Old tafs
of the inland seas are exulting III the
routing Of their ancient enemies, ice
and gales, by Winter Of leniency I'M
precedented in Great Lakes annals.
Mild temperatures and harbors,. usu-
ally free from ice this season, have per-
mitted shipping on Lake Michigan and
some of her sister bodies Of water to
60 on unhampered. Coast guardsmen,
alert along the coast for distress sig
mails from October's blows to the OPEN
ing Of navigation in the Spring, have
had a rest unequaled for q generation.
Capt. j. o. Anderson, commander of
the old Chicago Coast Guard Station
at the mouth of the Chicago River,
who has saved more than 1000 lives
in his three decades of service, said
today:
This has been the mildest Winter on
the Lakes that have ever known. 1t
has been entirely open so far as Lake
Michigan Is concerned. Freight and
passenger ships have kept sailing all
season. We have not had a single dis
tress call from the lake since last Fall"
His colleague at Kenosha, Wis, Capt.
Alfred Kristoferson, concurred, saying
AAO Aldu HCFCI oCCIl dllyJIlllR ike UillS
Winter" in his 26 years with the Coast
Guard.
Even on Lake Superior, most danger
Gus Of the group and likewise the last
usually to throw of the grip of fee and
snow, sailors are expecting the earliest
opening of navigation in years.
A number of Lake Superior harbors
have seen no ice all Winter and those
which have report that the bays and
shores have not been frozen to the
usual depth.
The earliest recorded opening of
navigation at Sault Ste. Marie was
April z, 1902, but ice conditions COM
piled by the United States photographic
branch offices, indicate that an early
breakup Is imminent. The expectation
of the Lake mariners now is that the
first steamer through the 800" Canal
may be locked next month

ELKS' HEAD GIVEN
RECEPTION HERE
Lawrence H. Rupp Sees Hoo.
YER and Pays Tribute to
UnknoWn'S Tomb.

Lawrence H. Rupp of Allentown, Pa,
grand exalted ruler Of Elks, was honored
Friday night by approximately 700 men,
bers of the organization in Maryland,
Delaware and the District of Column
bia, at q reception and initiation cere-
mony in the club house, 919 H street.
The occasion marked the first official

A meeting of the State Association Of
Elks was held jointly with the affair.
Exalted Ruler Maj. George Z. Strong
of the local lodge presided during ritual
istic services at the initiation of a class
of 100 candidates.
Earlier in the day, Mr.. Rupp led a
delegation to the White House to pay
respects to President Hoover. The Elks'
head reiterated to the Chief Executive
the pledged cooperation of the frater-
nal organization with the administra-
ton in efforts to relieve unemployment
and attendant depression.
Following the visit to the White
House, the delegation journeyed to Ar
lington National Cemetery where a
wreath was placed on the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier and later to Mount
Vernon, where a similar ceremony took
place at George Washington's grave.

career, it might be worth noting
that his reception yesterday seemed
one of the most unusual ever. There
are few artists on the vaudeville
circuit who can provoke applause
with such continual inSistence and
so non chalantly.
To an outsider 1t Is nothing short
of a miracle to find ones next door
neighbor sitting well forward with
an eager, soulful and adoring attl-
tude. who suddenly without apparent
provocation beats the hands together
at something so absolutely innocuous
as "Oh kay, Colonel" Still, every
time Mr.. Cook says these magic
words, and other magic words, whose
meaning were even less apparent TO
this observer, there were myr1ads
present who gave vent to great
emotion and rocked the massive Fox
walls with continued echoes.
A quietly amusing entertainer.
whose legion Of admirers seem 10
extend far into every hinterland, we
doff our hat with pleasure to Mr..
Cook and hope there will be more
like him to adorn this particular
stage.
AS a matter Of fact great credit
is due the Fox Theater this week:
Not satisfied with having imported
Mr.. Cook, it has paid tribute TO
National Music week by inviting
hither groups of well-knowr must
clan folk, who are competing daily
for three large silver loving cups.
Yesterdays aggregations show what
an interesting novelty this S-and
what a worthwhile one-and what
splendid Innovation is this for every
one concerned.
Again, the stage show blossoms
with good things. One of the most
striking settings ever-an Aztec
scene-with splendid adagio dancing
done by John and Harriet Grih1th
and Harry Vernon singing Chloe"
besides a troupe Of handsome
dancing ladies, and one of those
human horses. This Is a we'll CO.
ordinated "Espanola" idea whose
virtues have to do not only with its
sterling qualities. but in its COM
pactneSS and briefnesS.
Last. and probably least. is the
new film Three Girls Lost" light
and diverting comedy which one will
enjoy If properly anesthetized in ad-
vance. 1t has. however. three ex-
ceedingly comely ladies-Joan Marsh
and Loretta Young especially-and
If one overlooks the plot the rest Is
really quite easy to enjoy. Also IN
the CASTOR the benefit Of the ladies
is John Wayne-and also for the
ladies-LeW Cody. -.-..... ...

Between the year of 1900 and the time of the
World War a good many noble ideas gave birth
to some curious new laws. The State OF Kansas
prohibited snake eating in public in 1908, and
in the very same year put stop to the business
of squirting tobacco juice promiscuously and
at will.
AN exceedingly remarkable piece of legis-
n lation came into being In Georgia. where
one of its statutes provided that lifeguards
must wear a bathing suit of bright, solid
red" as well as q leather harness around the
neck, to which there shall be attached hfe-
line not less than 200 feet long and one
quarter inch in diameter.

fought then as now, and Louisiana. West Viz
GINA, Utah and wyoming cut the knot by the
simple expedient of prohibiting the wearing OF
high hats to theaters. In the States OF Maine,
Delaware, Louisiana, wisconsin and North
Dakota it became the duty of every law
abiding taxicab driver who suspected his pas
senger of being on his way to an improper
rendezvous to stop his cab and inform his
customer that he must walk.
Pennsylvania, too, joined the procession by
providing q penalty for any one caught singing
in the bathtub, while South Carolina not to
be outdone, introduced bill to abolish for-
evermore the hip pockets from the trousers OF

Following the Revolutionary War and for a
period of so or more years the legislative mills
ground their grist slowly and few laws OF any
kind were passed. BY the time Of the Civil
War however the legislators had begun run
ming true to form once again. When later the
West passed from state Of pioneering to one
of settled communities the primacy Of quaint
legislation went west Of the Allegheny Noun
tains though in no sense of the word can it be
said that the Middlewest Of today possesses q
monopoly.
IN the category of quaint and fancy legislation
it is found that the State Of Ohio made it
a misdemeanor for a married man repeatedly
to call upon or keep company with an "un-
married female of good character" while the
State of Michigan went Ohio one better by
introducing q bill which provided that no
person who had led an unchaste life should be
permitted to marry.

or moral feelings a matter of economy is not
known, but the State Of Kansas had already

wholesale arrests OF SUNDAY golfers III
Georgia a few years ago brought the so-called
blue laws into prominence, but not more than
a few months previous to that Perth ATnboy
in New Jersey, together with 20 or so sur
rounding towns, decided to enforce the existing
Sunday laws.
Hundreds were arrested and charged with
such heinous crimes as singing, dancing and
fishing but after three successive Sundays Of
hard work the authorities threw up their hands,
after it was pointed out to them that the police
officers who did the arresting and summoning
were themselves violating the law by working
at their jobs on Sundays.
It was then that people with q sense Of
humor-and there really are few left-began
amusing themselves by digging up and poking
fun at antiquated laws
Among other things they discovered Georgia
