THE ELKs have always been
regarded as body Of splendid
good fellows, but because Of the
fact that the many good things
that they have done have never
been broadcast or published they
nave been regarded merely as good
fellows interested only in one con-
tinual round Of conviviality. VINO
ever has believed this can now be
disilIusioned as the Ellxs have step
ped forward and declared them
selves interested in the education
Of our youth AMI have set aside an
Educational Week for tire purpose
of stimulating interest in educa-
ton and inspiring great things
from the boys.
An annual assessment has been
levied on each and every member
Of the order and fifteen thousand
dollars wiz be distributed this year
in granting scholarships to deserv-
ing students in accredited institL-
tons.
These scholarships are open to
deserving boys and neither they
nor fathers need be Elks.
This is a splendid move and
should be followed by other secret
orders. 1t is farsighted and intel
ligent, it is real service to society
and gives the Ellks commanding
position among the people. Educa-
ton is the stepping stone to pro-
gress. It win aid us in racial evo-
luton and enable US to advance
our status The Educational Pro-
gramme of the Elks is step for
ward and should receive the high
est commendation.

eran called attention to a picture
recently made, when they were
told that there was nothing to do,
but over 500 people who had not
been allied with the industry were
given employment Among this
number was the pastor Of a prom
inent church, an undertaken, and
firemen and policemen off duty,
and numerous others.
The best plan to follow, so they
decided, was through an organiza-
ton. They further decided that
the Screen Actors Guild was the
proper agent and it has been chos-
en- as the organization capable of
curbing the things spoken of.
The royalty of movie work was
represented at the meeting: lack
