partments employing laborers put in
requisitions for 1100 men with the

ably will not be possible during the

That private concerns are anxious
to assist the city and the state In the.

curb corners. Out of ISO requests sent

ONLY WOMAN MEMBER
OF ELKS IS AN ACTRESS
Alice Lloyd, English Comedienne, Bears Unique Distinction, Having Been
Honored By Lodge in New York City.

ALICE LLOYD, IN LODGE ROOM OF KEW IOBK ELKS,
"H
ELLO, B11L"
If you happen to be tne proua
wearer of the official emblem
of the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks and a finely dressed, fascinating
and dimpled young woman greets you
on the main thoroughfare with the fa
miliar ;Hello, Bill," don't be shocked
or alarmed, for this particular charm
ing young woman ha a perfect light
to the greeting, and if you look care
fully you will aee she wears one of the
Elk's emblems.
Tou may frequently see "Countess,
"Lady," "Princess," and a few other
varieties of titles preceding the names
of our stage favorites as a mark of
distingulshment, but Alice Lloyd, the
dainty English comedienne, is the only
feminine star in the world, and in fact
the only woman in the universe, who
bears the distinction of wearing an
Elk pin. Miss Lloyd Is the only wom
an Elk in the world, being a member
of B. P. O. E. No. 1. And while she
bears the honor of being the only
woman Elk in the world. It is doubtful
if there is any more enthusiastic mem
ber among the thousands upon thou
sands who form this organisation all
over America. . t
When the members of New Tork B.
P O. E. No. 1 made Mis Lloyd a mem
ber of their lodge, they conferred on
her an honor that has never been given
to any other woman by any secret, or
ranivntinn nf thl character.
It all happened during one of their
big receptions in New lort aiibb
Lloyd was at that time appearing in
the metropolis and consented to appear
fni- tha hi "Hello Bill" reception. It
was . just about the time that Miss
I.lovd brousht out her now famous
"Snlanh Me" sons. This was one of
her chief numbers at the Elks affair,
and with it Miss Uoyd made such a
distinct Impression on the multitude of
Elks that there Immediately began a
rivalry between the various orders to
see who would maKe miss lioyo an
honorary member. She was finally,
captured by several members of New
Tork No. 1. veritably kidnaped away
from the scouts of the other organisa
tions, taken In a taxi to the cluDrooms,
and there made a full-fledged "Hello
Bill."
Later Miss Lloyd was the recipient
of a huge Elk pin, wrought In plati
num and gold and set In diamonds, a
present from the rellow-memDers.
Everywhere that Miss Lloyd appears
she receives a royal welcome from the
local organization and she has been
busy attending Elk banquets in her
honor and making Elk speeches ever
since the eventful night In Manhattan
when she was given a distinction of
which no other woman can boast.
