Have you seen this neav car?
 It is both e closed cor and dn oben cor!

Even aside from the sensational new DUPLEX BODY-the Stakeholder Special Six has no superior in value in any car yet built. It was the conscientious intention of Studebaker in planning and designing the new Special Six to make it just such leader ito that end every resource of the great Stakeholder organization has been concen- trated.
 Even if we had the space we could not be- gin to tell you of the very many new and un- usual features which indicate its superiority.
 Certainly no words could do justice to it's distinctive beauty.
 In appearance it is unlike any other Amer ican car-yet its long, low, broad, sweeping lines are conservative, crisply stylish and in beautifully good taste.
 Think of the new Studebaker Special Six Duplex-Phaeton as the ultimate in value and performance in fve-passenger car--think of it as car matchless in practical Sonve- nience and desirability.
 But to appreciate the sparkling beauty of its totally new lines you must see it. To know its perfection of operation and per- fornance you must ride in it and drive it.
 If you have not seen this NEW type car- come today.

MOOSE TO RAISE
 FUNDS FOR HOME
Davis Buggy To Be Inscribed
 And Sent To MOOseheart

A letter from James J. Davls, secre- tary of labor, and supreme head of the Moose order, appealing for donations to the extention fund of Mooseheart and Moosehaven, was read at the regular meeting of Birmingham lodge, Loyal Order of Moose, held Wednesday night at the Moose hall, Dn H. A. Elkourie, dictator, presiding.
 MT. Davis pointed out in his letter that with the rapid growth of the order, it was necessary to increase the ca pacity at both institutions to meet the eyer growing needs. The proposition was endorsed by the lodge and com mittee appointed consisting of Dictator Elkourie, George Carlisle, John H. Adams, Ed Adams and John Zettner to provide ways and means for the appeal to reach every member of the order.
 Dr. Elkourie, in his capacity as deputy supreme dictator for Alabama, was requested by MT. Davis to see the appeal reach every Moose lodge in the state. The deputy announced that he would make personal visit to the other lodges of Alabama for this purpose.
 Under the good of the order, John Fl. Adams made talk on the construc- tive work that is benig done by the Moose. He announced that the much talked of cinder buggy used by James J. Davis, when he worked as a puddler in the Birmingham rolling mill, many years ago, had been rehabilitated and was now ready for the proper inscrip- t1on previous to Its shipment to Moose heart. The buggy when inscribed will be placed on exhibition for few days In Blrmingham previous to shipment.

APRON IS HIGHEST
 HONOR OF MASONRY
Scottish Rite Membership De- pendent On Symbolic Lodges

The Supreme Council of the Scottish Kite of Freemasonry, Thirty-third De- gree. Southern Jurisdiction, whose See IS at Charleston, S. C., but whose ad- mlnistrative offices are located at the House of the Temple in Washington. D. C., was organized in May, 1901. Ow- ing to its priority it is known as the Mother Supreme Council of the World. Recognition by this Supreme Council gives unquestioned standing to the other Supreme Councils of the nations.
 The Scottish Rite in English-speaking countries exercises Jurisdiction over the fourth to the Thirty-third degrees and membership in the Scottish Rite is de- pendent upon good standing in the sym bollc lodges. While the degrees of the Scottish Rite are numbered and its ritual sometimes is referred to casually as the higher degrees" nevertheless it's members do not assume to themselves any superiority to other Masonic breth. ren of the symbolic degrees. Such as. sumption is strictly forbidden by the teachings of the Rite itself.
 When in the Third Degree a man is clothed with the apron he thereupon assumes all the honors, dignities and privileges of Mason. In tbe trnest sense of the word he is Master. No honor that may ever come to him, with. Tn or without any lodge, can surnass the honor typified by the apron. The apron IS the supreme emblem of Free masonry.

MEETING OF ODD
 FELLOWS MONDAY

GAS" WILL DRIVE GONDOLAs.
Venice Authorities Decide to Abolish
 the Romantic G0nd0Iier.

According to dispatch from Venice, the municipal authorities of that city have decreed that in the near future all the gondolas of that city shall be pro pelled by a gasoline driven motor in stead of by the man standing in the stern and using a single oar and a mys- teriously simple thole-pin
 The Venetian authorities presumably know their business, but this looks like mistake. The invasion of the world famous canals by motor boats long ago excited the indignant protests of TO- mantics and sentimentalists. The en- tire punishment of what for centuries has been a much commended feature of Venice will grieve many besides those who would claim either name.
 It will substitute the commonplace for the picturesque and the unique, for, of course, the motor driven gondola soon will cease to be a gondola at all and become the ordinary chug-chugger of every harbor and river.
 There will be gain in one sort of eff ciency, no doubt, but an overbalancing loss of another kind. - New York World.

KNIGHTS PLAN BIG
 CLASS INITIATION

Birmingham lodge No. S5, Knights of Pythias, had a very good attendance at Thursday evenings convention. Chan cellor Commander Robert S. Smith be- ing absent, Vice Chancellor H. s. Stev- ems occupied the chair. Several appli- cations were considered and more def mite plans perfected for the big class initiation set for October 9.
 A motion prevailed that a committee on social activities be appointed to Have full charge of the entertainments of this lodge from time to time. It is ex- pected that at least one of these social functions will be provided for the en- tertainment of the membership each month. The personnel of this commit tee will be announced at the next con- vention.
 Sam Ginsberg, a we'll known travel ing man and a member of Unique lodge No. BIO, New York, was present and made highly instructive talk on the upward movement of the order in all sections of the country. H. c. Cramer of Tacoma, Wash, and NJ. Weinstein of Bessemer, Ala, also made good talks, as did number of the members of the local lodge. Master of Work Guy Mur- phree requests a full attendance of all his degree team workers for next weeks meeting.

SUPREME COUNCIL
 OF RITE TO MEET
Scottish Rite MasOns To Receive
 Thirty-Third Degree

CHARLESTON, s. C.-The Supreme Council, Thirty-third Degree, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free. masonry for the southern Jurisdiction will meet in this city this week with headquarters at the Francis Marion hotel. The sessions of the Supreme Council will be held in the Masonic Temple.
 A sentimental interest attaches to this gathering for the reason that the Supreme Council, which is the Mother Supreme Council of the World, was or. ganized in this city on May 31, 1901.
 JThe Supreme Council will attend services at St. Philips Protestant Epis. copal church on Tuesday evening when a sermon will be delivered by the Rev 5. Cary Beckwith, D. D., Thirty-third degree, who is the deputy of the Su. preme Council in South Carolina.
 The formal opening of the Supreme Council will be held on Wednesday morning, at which time addresses of welcome will be given and the Grand Commander will present his Allocution The sessions will continue through Thursday and Friday.
 On Thursday evening there will be the investiture of certain Thiry-second Degree Masons elected to receive the decoration of the Knight Commander of the Court of Honor. The Thirty-third Degree will be conferred on Friday evening.
 The social features of the session in. clude barbecue at Old Plantation, an informal reception at the Scottish Rite Temple, and banquet for the Thirty. third Degree Masons and their ladies.
 The supreme council will emphasize it's support of the educational program including the campaign for federal department of education with a sesre tary in the presidents cabinet and federal aid to public schools, a national university at Washington supported by federal funds, English as the compui sory language of instruction in the public schools, the common school foi all the children of all the people, the Americanization of the alien popula tion. the equalization of opportunity fol children of the rural districts and the improvement of the status of teachers.

RITUAL REJECTED
Organization Of Junior Odd Fellows
 Delayed

Much disappointment is expressed in Odd Fellow circles at further delay in the organization of a juvenile branch of the Independent Order of Odd Eel lows by the rejection for the second time by the sovereign grand lodge of the proposed ritual for the juniors.
 The sovereign grand lodge at its re- cent session in. Jacksonville, Fla, as it had at previous sessions, approved the proposition to organize a junior branch, but when the committee on ri- tual made it's report, the sovereign body rejected the proposed ritual and sent it back to the committee for revision and amendment. This means, accord ing to officials, that no further action can be taken on the matter until the next session of the sovereign grand lodge to be held in Portland, Ore, next year.
 It is understood that at the 1923 session the ritual was sent back to the committee for revision, and it was hoped by the local members of the order that it would be adopted this year.

 That was very smart" said Uncle John, as le handed over the coin. How did you manage it so quickly?''
 "Oh, I just offered the other side a dime to give in," answered Tommy Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
