SASr1M& trious prOtector--Bo 1t was
decided last Thursday night at the
monthly social of the castle held In Ma
pie hall.
Heretofore j. D. Ferris. the illustrious
protector, has not been particularly dis
tinguished In that line, but now he Is
feeling quite elated over his victory. The
contest was for the homeliest man in the
hail. but Mr.. Ferris says that everybody
was looking out Of the window, so he
secures the credit of being the homeliest
man in Los Angeles.
Two contests were on-for the prettiest
girl and the homeliest man. Miss June
Fitzpatrick was awarded the first, a hand
some book Then a motion was made
nominating Mr.. Ferris for the other
honor In the beauty and the beast con-
test, whereupon the proposed candidate
arose and spoke out In meetin'," asking
that the nomination be made unanimous,
which motion was carried with enthu-
siasm.
State Deputy Frank Swickard made
happy addresses in presenting the prizes
to the lucky winners, both prizes being
beautiful books.
Mr.. Ferris was very bashful and it
took the combined efforts of several of
the members to keep him from fainting.
However, he survived the ordeal and is
now receiving congratulations.
The entertainment given last Thursday
night by the castle was the most largely
attended in its history. A musical pro-
gram was given by Mrs Mcintosh. Mrs.
Wilson and Miss Ruby Miller. Miss June
Fitzpatrick gave several fancy dances. ac-
companied on the piano by her sister.
Committees In charge of the event were:
observation-disclosures Charles Fitz-
gerald, Smith, Black, Lowell, Fair Ladies'
Mrs. Bessie Lowe. Mrs. Elsie Phillips,
Mrs Snyder. Misses Mabel and Lora
Crouch; reception-Clansmen Fitzgerald,
Taylor, Smith. Swickard Goldsmith, Fair
Ladies Mrs. Agnes Ferris, Mrs. Snyder.
Mrs. Minnie Goldsmith, Mrs. Frank
Swickard Misses Martha and Clara
Downing and Irma Galbraith.
Next Thursday night the castle will
Initiate class of twenty candidates. The
annual election Of officers will be held
next month.

quire on candidates next Monday even

Great activity Is being shown by
the members of Gauntlet lodge and the
results are certainly most gratifying.
The lodge Is the largest in this part OF
the country, and from the fact that 1t
has set it's membership mark to 900 by
the first of the year, the progressive
committee with the assistance of the
members of the lodge are sure to make
this lodge one of the strongest and
best on the coast in very short space
of time
A very marked interest is being
taken by all the members in the pro-
posed Pythian castle, and the archi-
tects are making plans for one of tho
finest Pythian castles that will be ex-
celled by none.

Crescent assembly No. 15, at their
meeting Friday evening, made all ar

the secretary that eighteen new members
had been added to the roll since the pre-

Home council No. 2 had an open meet
ing last Wednesday evening at its hall,
SIT South Broadway Gypsy booths were
arranged and fortunes were told by Sis
ters Barnett, Snodgrass, Grace and Maud
Flood.
A good program was rendered, the prin-
cipal numbers consisting of whistling by
Sister Lillian Tugwell. who was encored
a number of times. Sister Gobiber recited
two pieces which were enthusiastically
received by the large audience.
A nice lunch was served by the sisters,
the kitchen being successfully looked after
by Sister Pitzer and Brother Porter, who
earned the thanks of all present. Worthy
Supreme Secretary Brother George Terry
presided over the grab bag and succeeded
in bringing in quite large sum of money
for the council. The only regret ex-
pressed was the bottom of the bag was
reached too soon.
On the whole the social was the most
successful one yet held by this council.
Star council will initiate ten new MEM
bers next Monday night. This increase
is due to the energetic work of Brother
l.. M Pitzer. Brother M. ]. Barnett will
take charge of this council and has al

court band of Oakland. This assembly
has taken the lead among fraternal or
ders around the bay district, as the as
sembly that does things. and their con-
slant cry is 1.-THE largest and best as
sembly in the order" and from the way
they make themselves heard they are in
a fair way to realize their ambition. The
members have a building which will be
completed in the near future and to be
named "the Royal Court temple" and
will be the headquarters of the order for
the northern part of the state.

length, but no definite de-
cision was arrived at, the question being
referred to the supreme board OF trustees
with power to act. During the past few
years the financial affairs of the order
have increased at such rapid rate that
1t is not possible to secure the necessary
banking facilities in Port Huron, and it
was considered advisable on the part of
some to remove the supreme offices to a
larger city. Detroit has made the order a
very flattering proposition, and 1t is more
than likely that city will be selected as
the future home of the order. The board
is particularly impressed with a site op-
| posite the Hotel Cadillac, on Washing
ton boulevard.
| The report of the supreme record keeper
for the month of October shows that the
order has assets amounting to Sc, ,695, ,908. q,
all of which amount, with the exception of
$710. 1000 is invested in government, state
and municipal bonds The order owns

Word has Just been received that the
new ritual is being printed and that 1t
will be ready for distribution within a
few days The ritual now ir use by the
order is acknowledged by fraternal men
to be one of the finest in use but the new
one is said to be an improvement in sew
eral respects. The Maccabees recognize
the fact that the time for rough-and-
tumble Initiation has passed. 1t endeav-
ors to impress a lesson upon its candi-
dates rather than to furnish them with
amusement.
Tuesday evening the Lordsburg tent will
pay fraternal visit to the tent at San
