their lives, including much food and
all the zem zem they could drink.

was organized about two weeks ago
is composed of about ninety mem
bers of Yaarab Temple, and they
are as live a bunch of sand heaters
as ever interviewed the Shrine goat
at close quarters. They decided to
celebrate the organization of the
club with a big barbecue of camel
hump, which is a morsel deal to
the Shriner's palate, but l. e n
Carchemish Baldwin, who is the
Sublime Keeper of the Sacred Nut
for Yaarab Temple in that section
Of the Oasis, declared there wasn't
