ORDER OF LIONS HAS BEEN FORMED Members Taken From Dis
 banded Owls WILL FILE CHARTER Home Lair' Is to Be Established in Birmingham and Organizers
 Will Be Sent Into Other
 States

With the adoption of constitution and bylaws and the acceptance Of certain articles of incorporation to be filed with the attorney general, the Order of Lyons was informally launch ed at a meeting last night at the court house, which was composed mainly of the former membership of the disor- ganized Order of Owls.
 The idea of the new Order of Lions was promoted at Q meeting of the mem bership which formally constituted the Order of Owls, held in the Majestic theatre on Sunday, May 2S. Over 1900 of the former Owls were present at the meeting and agreed to the organiza- ton of the Lions shortly after the dis banding of the old order.
 The organization of the Order of Lions has been effected with the fol- lowing officers: G. F. Riddle, deputy clerk in the city court, supreme grand master; ". Barnes Morgan, grand mas ter; H. c. Miller. county treasurer, su- preme grand treasurer; W. H. Miller supreme recorder, and J. D. Brandeis supreme guard.
 Al PIOSCil lhC lttd OA NAiC new Ci SohA zation is to maintain a headquarters or Home Bair'' in Birmingham from which deputy organizers are to be sent out into other states and establish other lairs. While 1t is understood that there will be a home lair the plan is to pro- vide the organization with a constitu- tion which allows full representation by all lairs in the general affairs of the order and further privileges as necessitated by local conditions.
 The formal organization of the Order of Lions will be made at meeting at the East theatre on Sunday afternoon, when the assemblage will be offered plans for a big celebration to be carried out on June 26. The celebration will be in the nature of a big barbecue at Germania park, begun with a parade during the morning at 10 o'clock in the city, when the whole organization will participate in the event. There will also be dancing after the barbecue and other events as vet to be decided on by the committee of 100 on arrangements.

A Haynes, the general organizer who was l sent here in the interest of the former | organization. MT.
