NTARATHON-LO ANGELES lodge
N No. 1S2, knights of Pyt-ias, is
A'A the strongest lodge of Knights
in Los Angeles and now ranks third in
the state of that order on the basis of
membership. This also may be taken
to indicate that the lodge is also strong
from financial standpoint. Not only
is the membership large, but the sew
eral hundred men comprising it who
practice the teachings of friendship,
charity and benevolence will compare
faVOrably in point of intelligence with
any other similar body. Men in Vari-
Gus professions bankers and solid
business men. take pride in stating
their connection with this lodge, where
visiting Pythians from all parts of the
country frequently say they feel per-
fectly al home. The congenial atmos-
phere reflects the spirit of the men,
bership and to this fact the remarkable
growth of the lodge is primarily due.
There are also other reasons, however,
not the least of which was the careful
planning for the future begun about
three years ago. At that time Marathon
lodge was in a condition not unusual
to some lodges where a lack of interest
in lodge affairs sometimes brings out
but few to attend the regular ses-
siOns. New blood was added and Rob
ert L. Dunlap, deputy clerk of the su-
prerne court, was made chancellor COM
mander. Because of personal efforts
of Mr.. Dunlap and both the old and
new members who came in to give
fresh vigor to the new regime, a firm
foundation was formed upon which
strong institution could be established
One of the best rank teams in the
west was organized, consistently
