Bouquets for Los Angeles
Los Angeles will be more widely ad-
vertised by the Shriner literature which
is being scattered broadcast than ii
even has been before. Here is a little
| sentiment from a booklet sent out by
Ishmailia temple of Buffalo:
THE angels must have felt fattered
when this city CLOS Angeles) was
christened for them. Assuredly they
are the guardians of it's climate. Clean,
| well ordered streets of surprising beau
ty, and excellent transportation facili-
ties, make going about a pleasure. 1t
is a city of beautiful homes and nu-
merous parks where flourish and bios
som in wondrous profusion the trees
and flowers of the tropics. Los Angeles
| is the tiny sun from which scintillate
such bright beams as Santa Monica,
with it's beautiful drives; Long Beach,
where surf bathing may be INDUCED in;
Baldwin's ranch, and the wonderful is
land of Santa Catalina. Surely we will
be in the land of sunshine"
The Ishmailia temple will bring a
drill corps. Past Imperial Potentate
George L. Brown, widely known among
Shriners, will accompany the party.
William S. Riselay, known as ''Biliy
the Gas Man." secretary of the Buffalo
Gas company, also will come.
Secretary Prescott is secretary and
treasurer of the Automatic Transpor-
tation company, the manufacturers of
an electrical device which when in op-
Grafton will, its makers claim, transport
mail and express matter from Los An
geles to Buffalo in twenty-four hours.
| Franchises already have been secured
for the operation of the carriers in
eastern cities, and they are expected to
| be put in use in less than a year. 1t is
intended for use in the rural delivery OF
mail.
Joel c. Clore, potentate Syrian temple
of Cincinnati, Ohio, announces that the
itinerary for the Cincinnati Shriners
has been completed. It covers a route
similar to that mapped out for the other
expeditions. A special train with eight
Pullmans has been secured and the
