IF 135 |S
 |NDUCTED INTO SHRINE TEMPLE
Greatest Ceremonial in His tory of Ell Zaribah Is Con- ducted in Phoenix - Pa rade Is Big Feature of Program

lfOWlUS IObtS Ol Wullc, lllcn llS uItS given touch of the unearthly by the purple and near-purple lights which played upon them, 1855 novices tramped through downtown Phoenix last night on their way to the chamber of hor- TOTS from which they emerged some time between darkness and dawn as full fledged nobles of the Mystic Shrine
 It was the largest class ever inducted into Fl Zaribah Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine-much the largest class, more than twice as large as any previous class. Its induction into the sacred folds of the Shrine at the grand cere- monial last night was the climax of the Friday meeting of the Temple in Phoenix.
 March to Their Fate
 Just what horrors the 135 underwent in the pursuit of Shrine nobility only the novices of yesterday, the nobles of today, can tell, but at o'clock last night they marched 10 the scene of their trials and tribulations as only men facing the inevitable march. All about them. in the front and in the rear, marched the great Shrine parade which was the feature of the day so far as the public was concerned. and on either side marched stalwart mem bers of the shrine patrol, uniformed and barring naked swords, as guards Just behind the long thin line of nov ices rolled an ambulance, and now and then novice shuddered with expecta- tion as the big car let out shrill shriek from it's siren.
 Yesterday was Shrine day in Phoe- nix, and throughout the day, Friday the thirteenth. nobles of the mystic order were to be seen on every hand. From every county and every town they had come, drawn by the call for the ceremonial and day of meeting. Included in the days program were a business session, a buffet banquet at ,: 30 for nobles and novices, the parade at : o'clock and the ceremonial the cream of the day.
 Parade Starts at O'Clock
 About town, too, yesterday, were the noviceS, self conscious, thrilling with expectation, and devoutly won dering what was going to happen to them. After they had marched in the parade to the ceremonial they found out, and now they are probably looking forward to the next ceremonial, when they will have the delight of watching other novices undergo the tortures they learned last night.
 Forming at Masonic hall at o'clock, it was a little after the hour when the parade swung down Washington street between the crowds who lined the walks In the very van marched a group of Shriners who swung purple and near purple torches, giving the scene an impressive lighting effect All along the line other nobles carried other torches, lighting up the whole affair, and here and there along the streets flares of the same light were set burning.
 At the head of the parade were the national colors and the emblem of Fl Zaribah Temple. the latter borne by a noble in army uniform. Then came the Indian School band, sweeping from one air into another.
 Elephants and CameIs in Line
 Then came the procession of animals loaned for the occasion by the Barnes circus, three elephants and four camels, two of the latter bearing nov ices. The great beasts were followed by motor cars bearing the supreme rulers and nobfes of the order, some of them in the full glory of arabic robes of more or less vivid hue. Then came long lines of Shrine nobles, fezzed and dressed in the attire usually known as full dress" scores of nobles going to the delectable re- past of the ceremonial.
 Next came the long files of the vic tins of the evening, the novices. Nearly all of them were robed in white and- those who were not wore long dark robes. They were all bare headed, as was fitting, in anticipation of the fezzes they were soon to win.
 NobIes Follow Novices
 Surrounding the double line of nov ices members of the Shrine Patrol marched at intervals, clad in the full uniform of fez, red jacket and baggy zouave pantaloons. swords barred. They were the guards, and later would become the masters of ceremonies.
 And then came the sinister looking ambulance.
 Behind the long stream of novices came another long line of nobles fQZzad nd in hlIc aff brought up the rear, making up thx last of the six blocks of the parade.
 Marching down Washington to Sec ond street, the parade turned north to Adams and then counter marched bach to the center of town. finally winding up at the Masonic hall, where the feature of the day, the ceremonial, began at 8.
