terville Orbit, No. /, of the Great
and Glorious Order of Shutters is
gaining by leaps and bounds both in
membership and popularity. The
greeting. Are you a Shifter?" is get
ting to be common query and of
course it all depends upon the answer
to the hail whether the person
queried proclaims himself q bona
fide member of the order or not If
he does not belong, he soon will, for
the Shutters are an energetic people
and the membership is confined nei-
Their by race, religion. wealth or po-
sition. In fact, it is the largest Sec
ret order in the world
Any Shifter can help a candidate
to become, a member of the order
and be glad to do so. The insignia
of the order is a small metal paper
clip of the kind that squeezes to-
gether and is worn on the left hand
lapel of the coat. No person need
hesitate to ask n wearer of the in
sigma to assist in his or her militia
ton. AS the ritualistic service is
most impressive. it is better for u
group Of Shutters to take candi-
date in for initiation than for only
one person to accompany him. 1t is
n pleasure for them and the initiate
is then sure never to forget his vows.
For the initiation ceremony includes
the oath, the greeting, the grip and
the high sign to say nothing of the
motto. which is brief but forcible.
After a person becomes a member
Of the order. he is always on the
lookout for other members and that
is one reason why the organization
grows so fast. Then. too, many are
anxious to join and only too glad to
nd a member who is willing to lead
them to the right spot. To the
frantic appeals "What is ito" Tell
ME about it." and what does it
mean" there is only one answer
from the initiated, You have to join
to find out" Then does the would
