This is possible because the repeated
experiences of other orders give it a
sound and accurate basis from which to
work. There is positively no raising
OF rates when you grow old. The rate is
made sufficiently adequate to prevent
this.
1t holds but one meeting a month, on
the third Wednesday, in Lincoln hall,
Walker Theater building. There the

DR.. Daniel Cave, dentist president;
Frank r. Clayton, superintendent Thiel

its membership and the widespread in
terest and enthusiasm prevalent among
its members is placing the order in the
front rank of fraternal orders in the
west today
Every possible effort is made to add
interest to the meetings and to make
them thoroughly enjoyable. That they
succeed in so doing is evident from the
large attendance of it's members at the
meetings.

Inglewood has been added to the Fra
ternal Brotherhood map. The new
lodge, No. 5S5, was instituted with q
list of twenty-eight charter members,
and additions are being made continu-
ally. The list was the result of good
work on the part of Brother and Sister
Crandall, who were aided in the insti-
tuition of the lodge by Supreme Presi-
dent James A Foshay and the officers
and escort team of Royal California
lodge No. 490. This promising young
lodge on the occasion of it's installa-
tion by Supreme Secretary H. V. Davis
one week later served delicious refresh

gram. They did everything after the
manner of their elders. With this aus
pictous beginning it may be depended
upon to become one of the strong
lodges.
Vivian Whitehead and wife have
been in Pasadena the past month do

The amount of financial aid alone given
during this period amounts to several

These societies have various features
highly commendable. but few, if any,
have ever attempted to analyze the

Los Angeles
1t occurred to a number of energetic
business men that the true, desirable
and durable order might be founded
alike for its social and insurance ben

This is what is making the Knights
of the Round Table one of the best,
strongest and most popular orders
among the whole category of fraternal
societies.
Its ritualistic work. based on the
beautiful legends of King Arthur and
his knights of the round table, is as
interesting and fascinating as the le-
gends themselves. 1t teaches many
striking lessons and abounds in beau
tiful sentiment. The motto of the or

the seas, where the pillows will wash
them away: but carve his virtues on
the rocks Of ages, that they may be
