mystic gleam shone from his eyes. He was a snub-nosed boy again, a little lad standing beside his father on the deck of a liner, America bound, with first-class passengers peering down from the rail above and applauding his childish treble. That was a high spot never to be forgotten, "The Wearing of the Green" had been sending shivers down his spine ever since. Even now, although his technique was crude, he was too deeply moved by the piece to notice three men walking towards him through the maples. "Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Flannigan in the flesh!" He jerked the saxophone from his mouth and stared at the speaker's poker face, his own crimson with embarrassment. "Oh—hello, Coddingham. What you doing up this time of day?" "Just showing the landscape to a couple of my friends. Saw your bus in here and thought you'd been taken for a ride or something ... Nice day." "Hot." There was a pause during which Mr. Flannigan turned inquiringly to the strangers—a mouse-like chap with pimples, and an older, heavier man across whose olive cheek ran a white scar. But no introductions followed. "Well, sorry to spoil the Muse," said Coddingham, moving away. "See you tonight, of course." "Not likely." The other wheeled. "Oh now, Mr. Flannigan, the party won't be complete without you," he insisted, with the first concern he ever had shown for Mr. Flannigan's presence in his own home. "A lot of the older crowd are coming, you know. Why, you'll be the hit of the evening in that wig." Mr. Flannigan's face reflected no enthusiasm as he made an unconscious movement to shove the saxophone out of sight. This gesture was not unnoticed by Coddingham, who studied him shrewdly, then stepped to the side of the car. "Listen, Mr. Flannigan, here's a sporting proposition. Just you be on deck this evening and, far as I'm concerned, sir"—^he nodded significantly towards the saxophone—"mum's the word."

The Bridge Kibitzer Dravn hv Georpe Bhanks Had His Day By George Coffin N ORE American inventive genius has been spent during the depression IPI devising new systems and new ways to play bridge than in any other field. The rank and file of winning tournament play- ers, headed by Sims, Burnstine, Schenken and Jacoby, developed from the crucible Y^ of tournament competition, a system of ^Htl bidding so strong, so sound, and yet so utterly simple that even Culbertson has 'KlBlTZE-fv' been forced to discard his former system, (txtinct) including his table of honor-tricks. The M jjmm -m "Culbertson System of 1935," released at '\i ii his recent bridge teachers' convention, is a codification of this standardized tourna ment system. This latest of Contract Bridge books is a pocket dummy face up on the table before bidding commences. His left- sized affair, indexed for quick reference during play and contaming hand opponent bids first and his right-hand opponent next—before 80 pages on bidding, and standard practices in leads and plays.

EDITORIAL DEDICATIONMiILAG dayATassumesMONTIGELLOan unusual interest to Elks this year from the fact that on that occasion the Order will formally dedicate the flag staff which has been erected at Monticello, as a gift from the Order to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. At the same time the Virginia State Elks Association will present the first flag to be flown therefrom. The ceremonial observance of Flag Day has been held at Monticello by Virginia Lodges a number of times, under permission from the Foundation, which has always been generously accorded. It was noted that there was no suitable staif on the premises from which the national flag could be effectively displayed; and the Grand Lodge, by resolutions adopted at Milwaukee and Kansas City, provided for the presentation of such a staff on behalf of the Order. Aspecial ritual has been prepared for the dedication, as a part of the color ful ceremonies for the Flag Day service to be conducted. Grand Exalted Ruler Shannon will deliver the address, and a number of Grand Lodge Officers will be present to participate in the occasion, as well as official repre sentatives of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. The Virginia State Elks Association will hold its Annual Convention at Charlottesville on that date, thus assuring the attendance of a large number of Elks who have evinced a keen interest in the event. It is pleasing to contemplate that, through the coming years, the American Flag will be regularly displayed at this notable site, flying from a beautiful staff which has been provided by the Order of Elks, as an evidence of the interest of its members in the preservation of this national patriotic shrine.

TRANSFER DIMITS ^ i|T is natural that one should entertain a feeling of loyalty to the y Lodge in which he was initiated and that he should hesitate to sever his connection with it in order to join another Lodge of the ^ Order. This is not only a natural attitude, but a very proper and commendable one. However, it must be realized that the full effectiveness of one's member ship depends upon the maintenance of his interest and enthusiasm, and that this in turn depends very largely upon his contacts with his Lodge brothers and hisparticipation in its activities. When opportunity for such associations no longer exists, and when he is unable personally to share in his Lodge's undertakings, his interest is likely to flag for lack of the essential influences which keep it alive. If, therefore, an Elk definitely moves into another Lodge jurisdiction in which he expects to be permanently located, he should request a transfer dimit and join that other Lodge. This will enable him to cultivate its associations and share in its activities in the only way that will preserve to him the full measure of satisfaction and happiness in his membership. Unless he does this he continues to be a mere "visiting brother." The Order has a real interest in such transfer dimits. They lessen the probability of lapsation and loss. Each secretary of a local Lodge likewise has a very natural desire to retain on its rolls every member whose name is once placed there. He dislikes to have his Lodge lose the benefit of its fullest possible membership. While this is also as proper and commendable as it is natural, it should not lead to efforts to dissuade a member from applying for a transfer dimit in a proper case. Much less should it lead to purposeful delay and neglect in action thereon. June, 193S

A secretary should not forget his loyalty to the Order in his loyalty to his own Lodge. He should recognize that one who moves from its jurisdiction is a potential loss to both, and he should welcome the opportunity to insure a brother's retention of membership in the Order by prompt cooperation in effecting his transfer to the new Lodge. True fraternal patriotism is not provincial nor selfishly local. It looks to the larger good of the whole Order. It prompts the encouragement of trans fer dimits in proper cases—not to their discouragement and certainly not to their obstruction.

THE HISTORY OF THE ORDER

^ B Historyawaitedof ThebookletOrder,"whichandhaswhichbeen hasgenerallybeen inreferredpreparationto as under"The the supervision of the Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Lodge Activities Committee, has been completed. A limited edition has been published and copies have been forwarded to the Exalted Rulers of the warn. subordinate Lodges. It is a compilation of information relating to the Order which every member, and every future initiate, should possess. It briefly sets forth the character and purposes of the Order, its organization, its achievements, and its current national activities. It lists and explains our fraternal ceremonials. It describes the governmental structure of the Order, the functions of the Grand Lodge, of the subordinate Lodges, and of their respective officers and committees. Attractive in its physical make up, and written in a narrative style designed to impart the information it contains in the most readily digestible form, it is believed that it will acceptably meet a long felt need. It is anticipated that the Grand Lodge at its next month's session in Columbus, will make pro vision for the formal adoption of the History to be used for its expressed purpose and for its proper availability to the Lodges and the membership generally. mi A RECURRING INQUIRY

Ml UITEand usuallyfrequentlyit isthemadeassertionwith ais degreemade byofapride—thatmember of hethe hasOrderbeen m an Elk for many years. In such cases the statement is made as to mere length of membership. There is no intended boastfulness as to how good an Elk the claimant has been. However, while every maintained membership is helpful and necessary to the group activities of the Lodge, there is much more involved in it than mere maintenance in good standing. The first editorial that appeared in The Elks Magazine, when this Department was established, was captioned, "Are You An Elk? The idea suggested was that the privilege of calling one's self an Elk carried certain implications as to character, personality, social mindedness and fraternal activity. The inquiry was designed to prompt a self analysis, to enable one to determine whether he was a real Elk, or one in name only. The inquiry is worth repeating, with the same purpose in view. One who becomes conscious, from such a self examination, that he is not such an Elk as he should be, is likely to make an effort to improve his fraternal status. It is well, therefore, for members occasionally to make such a personal survey. It is good for them. It is naturally good for the Order. In such a self study it should be recalled that the inquiry must have rela tion to all the associations of life; not merely to those of the Lodge Room or the Club House. A real Elk displays affection and kindness in his home; honesty in his business; diligence in his labor; practical sympathy toward the unfortunate; helpfulness toward those in need; good citizenship to his community; and reverence toward the Supreme Being in whom he believes. None of us, perhaps, could honestly rate ourselves as high as we would like to do. Most of us would find our grades lower than they should be. If realization of these facts inspires a determination to improve, as it should do, then the recurring inquiry has served its highest purpose.

about him since. He was Horton Smith. "One day Horton said me, 'I'm going out to California to play this winter's tourna ment circuit; you'd better come along.' " 'Xo,' I told him, 'I guess I'll stay here.' " 'Well,' said Horton, 'I've got $500 to charge up to experience. I'm going to spend it on this trip.' "The next few months I read a good deal in the newspapers about Horton's doings. The end of it was that the follow ing winter found me in California too. "I had a serious handicap at this time, although I didn't realize it. I lashed into the ball with a tremendous swing. At the top of the backswing my hands were high above my shoulders and the club-head down around my hips. I tried to hit the ball a mile. This tendency grew after I went to Hot Springs in my 19th year and won a long-driving contest in which most of the leading professionals of the country com peted. I couldn't control the ball and I mixed too many bad rounds with my good ones. "In the 1931 Los Angeles Open at the •- \'n3 Hillcrest Club I started the last nine holes in second place and then killed my chances by hitting out of bounds. Later I was lead ing the Arizona Open after 36 holes and then did the same as at Los Angeles. These failures should have taught me a lesson, but they didn't. I didn't get next to myself until the 1932 Los.Angeles Open, played at the Wiltshire Club. Hitting the ball first right and then left, I got disgusted. After one particularly rotten shot I said to my self: 'Well, from now on I'm going to stay in the fairway if I have to pack the ball around!' "Right there I cut my swing down to a ALL 1 KNOW IS half-swing. From then on I began to play more consistently.

last year. This was precipitated by his loss to Georpe Dunlap in the semi-finals of the United States Amateur championship at the Kenwood Country Club, at Cincinnati. "The way in which Dunlap played his iron shots against me that day convinccd me that I must have more than a good tee shot if I wanted to be a champion," said Little, "so, on my way home I stopped off at Chicago and spent a week with Tommy Armour, who gave me a much better understanding of how to play my irons. "He made me stand with my feet closer together, which promoted easier body turn and stopped body lunge, a fault of which I was guilty when hitting through the ball, and taught me to use my hands better in hitting. He slowed down my swing at the top, with a slight suggestion of pause there. The way I had been swinging, the clubhead was still going back while my hands were coming forward, which naturally handi capped control. "From then on I practiced a great deal with my irons. My game grew better speedily." What is the big reward of practice? Gain ing control of your clubs and the ball, of course; but just as important as this is the psychological effect. It produces confidence and it is the lack of this which fills the duffer's every moment on the golf course with fear and trembling, causing most of his mistakes.

Confidence is the ultimate maker of champions. It is not detracting from Little's greatness as a golfer, for instance, to say He looked a bit seedy that confidence was a vital factor in both his big victories last year. He proved his genius by dazzling, par-breaking rounds in the finals of both the British and American but felt like a tramp amateur championships.

He played against par. % The duffer can't play against par, but he can play against his normal score, whether it be 80, 90, 100, or 110. If he can hold it to his handicap he is very likely to bring home some prizes. One other word. It comes from all expert golfers. Concentrate on the short game. What do you think La%vson Little con ,I siders the greatest shot he ever made? No, it wasn't a 300-yard drive, or a sensational i " brassie, or a long iron.
