WHITING ELKS' MEMORIAL

(Special to Thk Times.) Whiting, Ind., Dec 8. The Elks of Whiting, No. 1273, held their second annual memorial services in the I. O. O. F. hall yesterday afternoon. The

services were well attended and werethe Invocation

llvered the principal address,, of a very well selected and Interesting program. He talked of his view of life, how it should be ordered by persons who expect to accomplish anything. His main idea seerad to be to have something definite in view, that was worth fighting for, and then to fight for it to the last ditch. Mr. Darrow is not an elk, and did not attempt to speak along the lines of Elkdom, but dealt with a broad phase of life, as he saw It. The program was opened by De Briae's orchestra which was heard in a pleasing . number, well rendered.

Next came a solo by Mr. R. C Reese of

Chicago,' a baritone with a good voice

which he managed well. The opening ceremonies of the lodge followed, and then came a lodge song sung to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." Next came

Warning to Fraters. The Bulletin, a monthly issued by the Lake County Medical society, denounces "ethical advertising" In its December editorials. The moral appears to be that doctors should shun reporters and their ilk. Two terse paragraphs from the publication follow: "From the frequent accounts of the prowess of certain physicians one would judge that press agents are again an adjunct to some doctors' offices. It is queer that those men do not

Mrs. Thornberg was hurled clear through one of the carwindows, striking the rail with her head. This was the last thing she remembered until she found herself at home and in bed, having been conveyed thither by an ambulance. Hed head struck the rail with such

force that two or three hat pins which fastened her hat, were broken Intwo. It is feared she will be laid up for many weeks. The fact that the other passengers were in the rear of the car, is what saved them from injury. The: car itself was almost completely demolished, and even located as they were ?t seems miraculous that none of

the other passengers were harmed.

HOMELESS MEN SEEK SHELTER Something like thirty homeless men applied at the Gary police station last night seeking shelter from the cold wave. However, the number wasn't much more than usual. The men are allowed to sleep in the basement. Those who come first get to sleep in bare Improvised bunks, while the late comers rest on the "concrete floor. Many of the men come In as early "as 4 o'clock in the afternoon and go to bed supperless. Then they go away in the' morning without any breakfast. In Chicago and other large cities the homeless are at least given a cup of hot coffee and a thick slice of bread and butter. This could be done In Gary at a very low charge, but it Isn't done, although several thousand dollars have been spent this year to keep an automobile for the commissioner of public works.
