RECORD IN BALTIMORE
BUSINESS is FORECAST

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, December 27.-The VOL
ume OF business for Baltimore for 1929
Is estimated by the Baltimore AsSocia-
ton of Commerce at $3.50 ,637, 500. If
this total Is reached, 1t will exceed the
volume for 1928 by $248, 106,5 500 and will
top the record for 1927 by $117,8 500.
The first six months of the year con-
tributed approximately 48 per cent to
the total.
Indications are that Christmas trade
at retail will at least equal that of last
year. Shrinkage in the volume of luxu-
rieS has been more than offset in sales
OF less expensive goods.
Bank clearings for the year UP to De-
cember "a amounted to $5,195, 365,1l9,
compared with $5,196,424, 767 for the
corresponding period in 1928, decrease

 The postwar period was not ! bright one fog fratsrnal ornanixa- tions. Al . result. in 1872. Pheniz lodge surrendered its charter. The l. o. O. F. spirit of fraternity had come to stay, 1t wal soon found out, and after a canvass of the city had been made. it was decided. amid scenes of fraternal enthusiasm to afk reinstatement in the grand lodge. On the night of February 23. 1s.:. the charter reached the city, officers were elected and installed snd Phenix lodge took on new lease of life, growing continuously until to- day it's membership is PTS.
 Three years later, . group of citizens of German birth or descent banded for the purpose of forming a second lodge. Application was made for . charter and in short order. Gerstaecker lodge was esta blished. taking form June of that year. of those who signed the roll on ''char- ter night" two are now in their 54th year of membership. They are Adam Zahnleiter and David Dehm, ST. Gerstaecker lodge now has 200 members.
 Decision was reached, Fl years later, that there was room in New Britain for still another lodge. On October IS, 1896, Lexington lodge took form with ,: members, of which II are still active in it's af- fairs. Grand Master Lucius H. Full Ter and five other grand officers came to New Britain to esta blisn this unit and 45 members were re- ceived. Within six months, 1:s had become affiliated, and today there are 375 members in Lexington lodge.
 Shortly after the coming Of the new century-June 26. 1900-the lodge which was destined to give Odd Fellowism in Connecticut, its leader for the year which was con- cluded today was formed. Andree lodge was institute by Selah G. Blakeman. Thirty-eiEht members furnished the encouraging start for this division, and e2 have remained as members. The purpose upper most in the minds of those who or ganized Andree lodge. was to pro- vide comfortable and hospitable sur roundings for young men of scan- dinavian birth and parentage. 7,
