It is probably amore or tss direct pluc of the special columns conducted in many newspapers, in which the authors seek to accentuate the purport of their brief paragraphs by a tud ed terseness of expression, or by pithy plays upon words.

They naturally resent the attempt to be continunuslv 'smart'. Apart from this, wise cracking has a very definite tendency to become caustic. Feelings and sensibilities are frequently wounded in order that a phrase may be skillfully turned. It was said of a noted wit th;,t he wonlH sacrifice a friendship to evolve a witticism. This serious indictment may not properly be applied to all wise crackers: but certainly there is dan4 that It may become more generally deserved Ijecause of the inherent tempta- tions of the practice. ^ July, 1935

After all the most pleasing—and, accurately speaking, the most brilliant —conversationalists are not those who purposely seek to win that distinction by pedantic phrase making, by caustic criticisms and by studied verbal smartness. They are those who express clear and clean thoughts in clear and clean language, easily understood, and used with kindliness and con sideration. Wise cracking may add a momentary sparkle to an occasion, but it is not designed to maintain the comfortable interchange of thought which con stitutes the most satisfactory conversation.

THE ANNUAL CONVENTION AT HAND yj OLUMBUS is near the exact center of population in the United States. That point is approximately the center of Elk population. It is also true that there are few cities in the country within a given radius of which there are so many subordinate Lodges. All this makes for the convenience and inexpensiveness with which Lodges and individual members may participate in the Convention to as semble in that City on the 15th of this month. The facilities of Columbus for the comfortable accommodation of all visitors are ample. The local Lodge and the City have completed elaborate plans for the entertainment of the Convention and those in attendance in a manner that should arouse an unusual interest among Elks generally. The program, which is published in this issue, provides an attractive variety of fraternal, social and athletic events. The Annual Convention of the Grand Lodge is the supreme event of the fraternal year. The business transacted and the features incident to its sessions present to the country a picture of the character, strength and im portance of the Orderas a patriotic and benevolent organization. It is highly desirable that this picture should be an accurate one. This depends, in large measure, upon the number of Lodges and individual members partici pating in the scheduled activities. The Columbus Convention should be one of the largest and most success ful in the history of the Order. The indications are that it will establish a record of which every Elk may feel proud.

A GREAT MILITANT FRATERNITY j jlT this writing the statistical reports of the Grand Lodge officers have not been compiled. Except upon reasonably accurate forecasts it cannot be predicted whether the Order has lost or gained in membership during the last year. It cannot be stated whether its charitable expenditures have been greater or less than in recent years: whether or not the aggregate of fraternal activities show an increase. However, those who have a real knowledge of the Order as a whole, of the character of its membership, of the extent and diversity of its benevo lent service, and of the fine spirit of loyalty which pervades that member ship, will have no fear of the deductions properly to be drawn from the statistics when they become available for analysis. They know that the Order of Elks has successfully weathered the storms which have beset all such organizations in recent years, and that despite the natural loss in membership and curtailment of income during that period, it has main tained itself as a great militant fraternity, with an enviable record of con sistent achievement. All through those troublous years, as during the years of unusual pros perity, it has time and again demonstrated its capability as an agency for ameliorating unhappy conditions for inspiring confidence and for promoting the general welfare. It has retained its place as an acknowledged leader in its chosen fields of endeavor. jf it should appear that further loss of membership has been sustained, or that its c aritable expenditures have been curtailed, it will be accepted as a mere temporary condition, which may be regretted but which should cause no serious concern. It will only inspire real Elks to greater fraternal devotion and a loftier courage. The pathway lies straight ahead- upon it the Order will continue to march triumphantly forward.

Once we had established our camp at the Mubi pans, which is native for "the dan gerous place," our system of hunting was a simple one. Each morning I left camp on foot. If I was successful in my quest, I would send back word to my wife and she would drive out with our ton-and-a-half truck and bring in whatever it was that I had shot or collected. It was impossible in such a country to leave the baby behind, so Mianje would sit in front and hold the baby on her broad lap while my wife nego tiated the stumps and holes and bushes which obstructed the veldt. My wife and I are the only white people ever to have visited the Mubi area. The animals which live about the pans know nothing of modern rifles or such weird con traptions as motor cars. Consequently, whenever my wife drove out, game of all descriptions ran close beside and close ahead of the truck. Sometimes these animals were so numerous and so close that she had to stop because the dust which rose from their pounding hoofs obstructed the view and rendered driving impossible. More often than not, these animals were zebra. My wife reported to me that whenever she saw zebra, Mianje cowered in the cab and shielded her face behind the tiny baby. This seemed to us both an extraordinary performance. So I called Shaluma over to our fire one night and questioned him. By dint of careful persuasion we even tually pried the story out of Shaluma. The devil which inhabited Mianje was a machoba, sometimes called a chimvule or a chihulli. Now a chihulli is really nothmg Pd have sold out but a shadow. I had often heard the word used, but until I talked with Shaluma I had never appreciated the great importance which attaches to a person's shadow. for a nickel When a person dies his corpse is buried.

His feet are placed on other poles laid upon the ground. For some reason which I have been unable to discover, the person taking the mwavi test must not touch the ground with any part of his body. Around the neck of the accused were hung the heads of the fowls which had died by poison. Once the suspected witch was seated on the chitala, a gourd cup filled with mwavi was handed to her. This she drank. ... If she vomited it, the preliminary tests on the fowls were con sidered to have been manufactured in some fashion and the accused was deemed not

guilty. If this happened, all her relatives • imrfa f T immediately fought with the accuser and his relatives. But if she drank the poison and died, as happened in this case, her relatives took the body and ran away with it onto the veldt, where they burnt it. The bones, which did not burn, were ground to a pow der and mixed with oil from castor beans; the resulting mixture was smeared about the ejTS and across the chcckbones and left un touched until it wore away.
