up after the ceremonies are concluded.
At Rochester, last year, the delegates
from Honolulu, under the leadership of
J. s. MeCandless, made Hawaii known
to hundreds. of Other Shriners, to whom
the name Sandwich was more familiar
than Hawaiian in speaking of these
isles of the blessed. LeiB and fans of
Hawaiian make were. distributed among
the visitors and pineapple juice was
dispensed at the headquarters of the
delegates from this city to thirsty
scores who called during the days of
the convention.
This sending of the Arab Patrol from
here to Los Angeles is thought to be
the biggest advertising scheme which
the Shriners of the city have ever at

in the minds of the leaders that the
