OF them q shade lighter than the
ace Of spades, did 4 rushing busi-

um." the Klan newspaper. around
Klan headquarters in the Wash
ington Hotel.
shelby Cox, seven.foot Klansman
from Dallas. Tex, had to discard
his peaked cap when he went into
the Hotel washington and into the
washington Auditorium. The cap
made his height feets inches, by
actual measurement--too high for
any ordinaray door.
r. j. Wilson, Of one Of the Vir-
ginia Klans, was bewailing at
Washington Auditorium today be
cause the members or his delegation
had left their robes on the station
platform when they boarded train
for Washington. Some borrowed
extra robes while here.
Unlike the parade Of Klansmen
August s, last year, there were no
autos or horses in todAy's pageant
program. Everyone was ordered
to walk, from Imperial Wizard
Evans down the line.
Leaning over the lobby balcony
at the Washington Hotel this morn
ing to an inpromptu concert by
one OF the Virginia Klan bands. an
Oklahoma Klansman lost his peaked
cap. 1t dropped squarely on the
head of q little, red-faced Trishman
who was leaving the elevator. The
Irishman's face grew redder, as
he pulled the cap from his head
with a snort and threw It to the
floor.
The north end of the Washing
ton Auditorium lobby is devoted to
an information and registering bu-
reau for women. The ladies love
to chat SO much, however, that
several men had to be called in to
clear the space for new arrivals
who wanted to register this morn
ing. The chatty ladies were block

tains its headquarters, Is crowded.
Many OF the smaller f1ostelrfes,
however, are doing the biggest busi-
ness Of the year Downtown lunch
rooms today were crowded with
long lines OF robed figures waiting
to get seats in many Of them.
VisOrs to Be Up
"vfgors up is the order Of the
day. The long masks OF the order,
attached to the high, peaked caps.
were uniformly rolled up TO the
front Of the cap. Al police order
had forbidden the masks. The
order was obeyed.
That there win be a full supply
Of music in this afternoons parade
was indicated by the number OF
bands on hand today. One khan
official said he expected 80 khan
bands at least. There were six
from Virginia alone. Al member
OF the Easton, Pa, delegation, which
ID the largest from the keystone
State, said eight more bands would
be here from eastern Pennsylvania
The music. however, win be the
only expression Of the Klan's en-
thusiasm that Will strike the ear
of the thousands Of spectators ex-
pected to line the route Of the
parade. That is, it win II unoffi-
ciaI orders from high khan officers
are followed.
These orders call for a silent
march for not b cheer nor sholat
that might be construed as pro-
voking disorder or that might be
seen as q disorderIy act. The
flowing robes are to parade as
silent as the ghosts they suggest.
Not all the thousands of robes
on the streets today are white, how
ever. The ghostly color il relieved
in every instance by little red
tassel on the top OF the peaked
cap. And the majority of the
klansmen are decorated with the
"K- Duo a scarlet breast-sash,
decorated with the white and red
"Kross of Kamellia." indicating the
possession by its wearer OF the
second degree of the order. con-
ferred principally for length OF
service in its ranks.
And there are the purple-bede
robes and the purple capes OF mem.
bers of the Imperial Kloncilium, the
governing body of the order. The
white and red cross on this back
ground furnishes q gay combina-
ton.
