 Will number 7,5OO, Tourist clubs are
 now being organized. The program will give view of the unsurpassed
 scenery of southern California, in vluding trips to the old missions, the far-famed Catalina Island and through the orange belt of that sec ton.
 The Knights of Columbus of Los Angeles will make special effort to
 entertain the ladies accompanying the visitors, Madame Helene Modieska, the distinguished actress and jealous
 Roman Catholic will head the ladies'
 reception committee. Her home at Arden. in the mountains behind Fl Toro, is within easy reach of Los An geles, and her husband, Count Bo- zenta, is a charter member of Les Angeles council, K. of c. Another in teresting feature will be Spanish barbecue. Among the amateur cooks who have volunteered for this work are Charles F. Lummis, the we'll known author. and Count Bozenta.
 On June the Knights will have services at the old cathedral of St Vibfana. The services will consist of a solemn pontifcal high mass, at which Archbishop Riordan and Arch bishop Montgomery and the other priests of the province will be pres ent, Archbishop Riordan or Bishop Conaty preaching the sermon.
