Charles P. McClane Of Steelton,

Mr.. McClane, Elks' grand COM
missioner of public relations and

The Elks' public relations d.
rector has also denied to P. B.
Young, ST., publisher of the Nor

has ever paid anyone on the staff
of that paper money for publicity.
There is, however, a discrepancy

Murphy and that given Mr.. Young.

in sleeping habits. head rolling

DR.. Cone Is not asking his col
