MASONS WITH TROWEL

Los Angeles, Sept. S,-The trowel
of Masonry, used to spread the ce-
ment of brotherly love and affec-
ton" common to the ritualistic cere-
monies of Masonic lodges in the
United States, may come back into
use by the Masons of England after
an absence of more than a century,
it is said, as result OF the action
of California Masons in presenting
the United Grand Lodge of England
with a trowel made of California
precious metals.
Presentation of the trowel was
made by William Rhodes Hervey of
this city and John Wicher, grand
secretary OF Masons of California,
who went to London to attend the
Masons' peace jubilee June 81, 1919.
Members of the Masonic order in
Bristol, England. are said to be the
only Masons in England at this time
who utilize the trowel in their sym
bolic ceremonies, but that the trow-
els use. formerly general in Eng
land, may again become common is
indicated in letter written to the
California Masons by Cecil Powell.
a member of Bristol Masonic
lodge.
He writes:
II am strongly of the opinion that
it was once commonly in vogue in
this country, but it has for some rea-
son disappeared from the emulation
system. This is surprising because
of all the operative tools it is with
out doubt the most indispensable.
