~ Shrine will present the first
a Shrine ceremonial to be held in
4 its recently dedicated, new club
house, on K street near Thir-
tenth street northwest, Thursday eve
ming, and IllustriouS Potentate James c.
Hoyle, ever alert since his induction into
his present Shrine station, states that
preparations have been made to insure
something somewhat different" in COM
memoration of the event, which will be
outstanding in the annals of Almas
Temple. The wild men of the desert,
he says, "Who are to be corralled and
brought under the civilizing touches OF
the ancient sheikS are many, and some
of them have achieved fame in the hot
sands" All of them will be entitled to
accompany the caravan that will move
on Toronto. Canada, next Sunday eve
ming at ITO O'Clock, via the Pennsyl-
vania Trail 4 stop will be made at
the Oasis of Niagara Falls, to catch the
spirit of the mighty waters. Toronto
will be reached Monday morning and
after that the imagination must be in
voked. for the most elaborate prepara-
lions have been made by RameSeS Tenn
pie for the entertainment of its guests
at the session of the Imperial Council Of
North America. The most notable fea-
ture of the session. probably, will be
the mammoth Shrine parade and the
unwilling of the memorial presented to
Canada by the Shriners Of America to
commemorate the unbroken peace that
has existed between the two countries
and as an assurance of its continuance.
The officers and uniformed units of
AlrnaS Temple, together with the &C
companying Mobiles from Washington,
will take part in this historic demon
stration. And the potentate states that
there will be other things and occur
rences besides. The Washington Shrin-
ers will leave for home Friday morning,
June Is. And then the ever-active po-
tentate will turn his attention to mat
tiers of local importance, the most i'm
portant of which, perhaps, will be the
effort outlined for himself, with <ae as
sistance of the nobility, of clearing the
new club house of its equipment debt,
amounting to something in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000, nearly $4,000 of
which has already been contributed,
with many pledges that will carry the
sum beyond that figure. The potentate's
aim, however, is to clear away the en-
tire debt. actually or in the promise,
within the term of his administration.
Past Potentate L. Whiting Estes, a will
ing volunteer as well as a special dele
gate for the purpose, has started
series of prayer meetings, which con-
tinue until 1.-The last farthing is paid"
Invitations have been sent to the entire
membership and Potentate Hoyle states
that he has no fear that every last one
of them will respond as generously as
circumstances will permit. 1t has been
the chief aim of the potentate since his
election to put Alnas back on the map
where she belongs" to quote him, and
he is endeavoring, he says, "to make her
feel when she gets there that the front
door varrish will not be marred by the
opportunities of creditors" and at the
same time TO leave the nobility IN
frame of mind that will bode well Tor
his successor.
