SHR|NERS TO SEE
CAPITAL At BEST.
Harry Standiford Points Ou
Reason for Elaborate
Preparations.

THE reason for the tone and eIab-
orations of the preparations for the
coming Shrine session is to show the
membership. composed Of residents OF
every state in the Union, the greatness
of the National Capital and the typt-
f1cation Of true American patriotism"
is the substance of statement made
by Harry Stamford, executive secre-
tary of the Almas 1923 Shrine Com
mittee, in commenting upon the COM
ing convention.
His statement follows in full:
Possibly the people OF Washington
have noted In a casual way the high
plane on which the Almas Temple
Shrine Committee is building the
structure Of the events Of 'Syrine
week. but nothing specifically has
been said on the subject.
Imperial sessions" he continued,
have been noted heretofore merely
as occasions of parades. colorful dis
plays. music and merriment. This
Mystic Shrine Imperial session a
popular success.
but with the world somewhat
askew, and with the convention be-
ing held in Washington. we feel that
the occasion demands something more
than the customary characteristics.
While detracting not in the least from
the typically Shrine quality Of the
occasion, the atmosphere of the pro-
gram in June is to be one rejecting
the best inspiration and traditions
that hover about Washington
so the service of song and the band
concert of sacred music Sunday after
noon, June 8, on Temple Heights.
when probably 100000 persons viii
participate in the first event Of the
week, the alpha Of the whole pro-
gram, is intended to convey to the
visitors and the country the thought
that even as they then shall stand on
the brow of the hill where latter the
temple is to be reared, so are they To
understand that the Shrine itself.
while being Masonic in character only
because of the fact that its member
ship is made up Of Knights Templar
and Scottish Rite Masons, builds the
the spirit of music sung and played
Masonry.
so, too, Is intended the impression
formed from the Garden OF Allah. q
vision of the great in the history Of
Washington, who have dwelt about
it's confines. So, too. the parades ard
pageantry Of the Avenue, over TIE
same course traversed often by Wash
ington himself.
"And, finally, the omega. Thursday
night will be the vision WaShingtou
