GAN GET FLUID FROM SMOKE
American Chemist Gives Some Particu-
 lars Concerning Discovery That V Seems of Great Importance.

A scheme to turn the smoke nuis- ance of cities into, usable fluid for running automobiles, is a recently discovered secret of the war and IS vouched for by Osborne Monett of the United States bureau of mines. He declares a home brew for your Henry may soon be made from your coal pile. It is simply matter of chemistry. The reason coal smokes is it contains too many carbohy- drates. By giving it bath of hy- drogen one recoyers 30 per cent of some stuff much like gasoline. The rest is smokeless fuel. In Germany during the war the people were not allowed to burn coal until it had gone through this process.
 According to MT. Monett you should build your fire on top of the coal in your stove or furnace, and not underneath. The old way does not give the gas in the coal a chance to burn. Place the coal, one layer directly on the grate, he says, then start your kindling on top of that. The gas which comes out of the coal is ignited by the flame as it rises and you get a maximum heat in seven and one-half minutes. The other way one loses large part of the 45 per cent of gas the coal con- tains.

Mystic Shrine stands for:
1t is fully understood by everyone
that while the Order of the Mystic
Shrine is composed of Knights Tenn
plar and Scottish Rite Masons, yet it
makes no claim that it is Masonic
organization, or that it has any con-
nection with Free Masonry. Those
who brought the order to this country
had the one motive in view of requir-
ing that all petitioners shall be Ma
sons of the classes named and this
was done to secure a select class of
men to compose its membership. The
Shrine was introduced to provide a
playground for Masons. As grown-up
boys, men need convivality and rec
reation and the Mystic Shrine most
effectively carries out the main pur-
pose Of the order. At the same time
it is one of the most charitable or
ganizations known. 1t is not all play
for it teaches a most beautiful and
impressive lesson.
Historically it is claimed that the
Order of Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
was established at Mecca, in Arabia,
in the year 5459, in the year of our
Lord 1908 The order was revived and
instituted at Carlo, Egypt, in $685.

IA, 1887. The order was originally in
stituted for very different purposes
than what exist today, but at it's in
ception it was composed of sterling
men of that day and this has been
strictly carried out to this day. The
ritual was brought to America in
1871, subsequently Mesa Temple was
instituted in New York City on the
26th of September, A. D. 1872. This
Temple remained inactive until De-
cembe-. 1875. when a representative

him the Original ritual of the order
as it was worked in foreign countries.
In 1876 the constitution and ritual
for the order in America was drafted
and adopted and the Imperial Coun-
ell of the United States was formed.
1t was then decided by the proper
authorities to make Knights Templar
or Thirtv-second degree Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite Masons pre-
requisite for membership in Ameri-
ca, and to make it charitable and

at the organization of the Imperial

SHRINERS CEREMONIAL
CLOSED WITH BIG
BANQUET AND DANCE

The big ceremonial of the order of
the Mystic Shrine, Ell Jebel Temple,
Denver, and Al Haley, of Pueblo,
came to successful termination at
midnight Saturday. 1t was one of the
most elaborate and pretentious cele-
brations ever pulled off on the west
ern slope.
Following the big parade and inia-
tiation of 120 novices, as reported in
Saturdays Press, there came the elab-
crate banquet at 700 in Hartman's
garage, the play, George Washington.
Jr.. by the Players Club of Ell Jebel,
at the Congregational church in the
evening for Blue Lodge Masons and
their families; the drills on the
street and in the armory by the pa
troll and the big dance at the armory.
Everything was given as planned
and with fine weather the occasion
was most auspicious.
Hartman's garage was the scene of
one of the biggest banquets ever CIV
en- on the western slope. About $50
people were seated. The garage had
been beautifully transformed into a
woodland bower by covering the cell
ing entirely with festoons of wild cle-
matis amid which Japanese lanterns
were hung.
The splendid banquet, menu of
which was announced in Saturdays
Press, was served by Mrs. Trotter.
1t was a tremendous undertaking for
one lady to oversee, but the banquet
was great success in every detail.
Fifty young ladies served the menu
and everything went with clock-like
precision All in attendance were en-
thusiastic and complimentary of the
success with which the banquet was
handled.
The Patrol gave splendid exhibi-
tions on the street and in the arm
ory. TIE play by the Players Club
was splendid and the big dance at
the Armory with music by the mag
nifcent orchestra YVES bowling sue
cess. The place was too crowded for
good dancing at first, though the
crowd thinned out SO later there was
more room.
At 11:50 dancing ceased and the
visiting Mobiles entrained and the
specials pulled out shortly after mid
night, taking the visitors back to
D"nver and Pueblo.
The Quartet, octette and trio sang
at the banquet, at the play, and on
the streets. They are some singers
and their music AIDED much to the
success of the day.
The band concert at Cascade and
Main at five O'clock was listened to
bv hundreds. Previous to this the
glee club sang.
The entire day was great and
gala day for Montrose. The visitors
were especially pleased with their
entertainment and praised the splen-
did service of the cafeteria luncheon
served by the Methodist ladies at
noon and the magnificent banquet
engineered by Mrs. Trotter.
