SECOND LARGEST
SCOTTISH RITE
REUNION Hello
TIE USUAL PROGRAM WAS
CARRIED OUT WITH MORE
THAN USUAL SUCCESS
AND PLEASURE. TO ALL
CONCERNED

Mexico took the degrees of that ord
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesda,
of this week at the beautiful Cathc
dral in this city.
The largest class was last Marci
when there were 100 initiates o
which 1856 were soldiers.
This weeks glass numbered l06 o
which only about Is were soldiers
and one sailor, making the civiGaI
members number so. The third larg
est was within the past year wher
81 was the number The year 1918
is the banner year by far, with two
out of three OF the largest classe'
to its credit.
Visitors from other jurisdictions
were numerous, over twenty Master:
of the Royal Secret were present
coming from many states and coun
tries, one from the far away Philip
pine Islands.
The degree work was never bet
ter, the weather never more perfect
the social evening never quite such a
general success, the music never quite
as perfectly handled and satisfactory
and the luncheons never more en-
joyed in spite of war curtailments
as they were at this reunion.
The ladies of the Eastern Star as
sisted by the wives and daughters
of Scottish Rite Masons deserve
especial credit for their united ef-
forts and success in handling the
immense amount of work required to
feed over three hundred persons each
day with splendid meals. cooked
prepared and served exclusively this
time by the ladies with the assistance
Of only two or three of the mem
bers OF the Rite.
Not over a dozen ladies from other
towns in the state were present.
but such as were here were en-
thusiastic over their visit.
Just before closing the Consistory
Of Masters of the Royal Secret an
unusual proposition was presented. 1t
was proposed that the Scottish Rite
Of New Mexico go on record as fav-
oring War Time Prohibition. The
proposal was carried by the unani-
nous vote of over two hundred mem
bers present and the secretary di-
rected to wire Senators Fall and
Jones and Congressman Walton of
the action before the vote comes up
On that measure in Washington next
week
