When the Loyal Order of Moose was reorganized in 1906, it was de- cided at that time that it should be a fraternity of helpfulness and service. For more than quarter of a century it has kept to that intention, and it's amazing activi- ties have included the child city of Mooseheart, Illinois, where or phaned children are given home, an education, and instruction in a trade; and Moosehaven, Florida, where aged members upon whom life has frowned find sanctuary in their declining days. Besides this, vast charitable program is car ried on both within and without the ranks of the Moose.
 But besides these humanitarian activities, the fraternity has Sl- ways recognized the need for soc- ial and business contact, and the spirit of good Fellowship that is apparent in the lives of most men and women. The Moose has an- swered this need in the lodge homes of nearly 2,000 Moose lodges throughout the world.
 In order to keep it's fraternal, social, and charitable activities on a lofty plane, the Moose requires its members and prospective mem bers to measure up to high stan- dard. Moose members are leading persons in each community. In business and professions, in in dustry and in marts of trade, the Moose emblem has become known as indicating that it's possessor has shown the sterling qualities one looks for in the ideal citizen.

Six Thousand Japanese Scattered from Broad

By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK. March 2.-There are nearly six thousand Japanese in New York and they are scattered rom Broadway to the outer fringes of the five great boroughs. They never dlo 90 in for settlements of their own, such as Chinatowns and the Little Italys of the Chinese and Itallans. Perhaps it is this lack of clannish- ness. at least in their business and social Hives, that accounts for ther alertness and their ability to adapt themselves to whatever these days of changing situations bring.
 In New York the Japanese get about. They mingle. It is rare that you do not see at least three or four at the first nights or in the better restaurants. Irrespective of your personal sympathies in the cur rent Japanese-Chinese war, you must admit that the casual Japan ese. when you meet him on the street, is a livelier companion and more intelligent Cat least to strangers) conversationalist than the average Chinese.
 Ask a Chinese how to get to 38th and Fifth and you will probably receive a shrug. Ask a Japanese and he will say, "Go right down to the next corner and walk left three blocks.

Of all the Japanese ln New YorK perhaps the most important, at least politically, are MT. Kazuo Nishi, the financial commissioner, and MT. Ka- nae Waktuki, the Consul General. MT. Nishi's authority stems straight from the treasury department, and the Consul-General, as you know, is the man with all the answers for all of the five to six thousand coun- trymen in this city.
 While we Americans were getting ready to celebrate George Washing tons Birthday, the Japanese pre- pared to celebrate Kigen-setsu (Feb. ID and this year it was greater than ever. This is the birthday of the Empire, and on that day Japan was 26OO years old. Many other holidays are locally observed, such as the En- perors birthday, April 29, and the Day for Boys, May 5th.
 Socially, both the Hozai and the Nippon clubs play an important part in the lives of the New York Japan csc. The Tozai, which means East and West, is for those children of the Rising Sun who were born in Japan and also those who were born in America. But the Nippon club is more exclusive You have to be born in Japan to get in here.

The Japanese here have two news papers-Nitibie Jihoo, which means the Japanese American Review, and the New York Shinpo, which means News. They have six churches, three Buddhist and three Christian, and they have five schools, devoted mainly to teaching the correct use of the Japanese language to second generation Japanese, or those who were born in America.
 As for their business pursuits, they write for the newspapers, they import raw silk and deal in gold fish. they own restaurants and wait tables. Look under the Us in the Manhattan telephone directory and you will find whole column of importers and exporters dealing in everything from toys tG-men badg- es for kids, etc) to priceless porce- lains and jade.
