day, February 16, 1868, the name of Elk was
adopted by vote of eight to seven"
HE local body of Elks, which today has nearly
1000 members, is a very wide-awake or
ganization, being particularly noted for it's
charities and its patriotic gatherings in addi-
tion to the hospitality it offers to its members:
Recently, in a conversation with William S.
Shelby-secretary of the organization since
1914-the writer was told of the many baskets
Washington Lodge was preparing to distribute
among worthy families to make them happier
on Christmas day. and this is only one slight
evidence of its liberality to the needy.
Its patriotism during the World War was of
a distinctive, helpful and valuable kind for it

large sums, but even turned over it's new
building on H street to the Government which
Used it to house department of the War Risk
Insurance Bureau, while the Elks moved to
more modest quarters at 933 street northwest
The annual flag day exercises of this lodge
are well known events and full of the spirit of
real patriotism, as the writer can personally
testify, for he had a small part in the exercises
OF three years ago at the Sylvan Theater in the
Monument Grounds when Judge Mattingly
gave history of the flag and Maj. Gen. Amos
A. Fries delivered an address.
The chances are that the writer will not be
here 25 years hence to say a good word for
the Fszs but they have his best wishes anyhow.

"a terrible wrench) while coasting

remembered with pity what "a har-

fright that had caused it. He had
spoken (words of contempt) when
Roberta had cried for him as any
boy would who was manly. al
though of course he appreciated her
concern and told her so. He knew
he had been cowardly to shrek
that way. Roberta still felt sorry
for him and knew that even If he
did not wish her to cry for him
he would probably like piece Of
her candy anyway. And besides she
did wish to see the chickens his

they looked to him like (rather

Greater London Shows
Big Gain in Population

London.-The population of Greater
London now totals 8,2O3,942, as re-
vealed by the first official report COM
piled from the census reports of last
year.
The increase in population, as COM
pared with 1921, has been o. per cent
or nearly three times as great as In
the preceding decade, and nearly twice
as great as the current increase for
the nation at large.
Greater London's inhabitants are di.
vided into 4.371 ,026 females and only
3,S32,916 males. How that happened,
the report doesn't deign to disclose.
Figures for the city of London and
the % metropolitan boroughs which
comprise the administrative county of
London (as distinct from Greater Lon.
DOM show a decline of $3.50 for the
ten-year period. This population is
now 4.397.O03.
