nlustrious Potentate James c. Hoyle
has started to stir things up again in
Almas Temple closely following his re-
turn from the Imperial Council session
In Toronto, Canada, where the imperial
potentate called him up for being "the
most progressive potentate in North
America" and all because he had put
over local ceremonial with full cast
OF past grand masters for the first time
In Masonic history.
The uniformed units, who seem to
adore their potentate, singled him out
for a great honor on his recent return
to Washington. With the Almas bands,
military and oriental, they hied them
selves galaxy Of something more than
800 to his home in Chevy Chase and
rendered him musical reception, re-
membering Mrs. Hoyle, at the same
time, with mammoth bouquet of
flowers and getting speech from her.
The potentate says he was too full for
utterance" after seeing the big parade,
with flags flying, torches burning and
the big band playing Happy Days" OF
course, there was lot of speechmaking
and other pleasantries and Potentate
Eoyle took occasion to tell the mobiles
present and through them all the rest
Of the mobiles that July 10 there is to
be mammoth picnic to honor the
uniformed bodies. at Seaside Park, at
Chesapeake Beach, to which all were
urged to come, with your lunch baskets
well laden" for there is to be an eating
contest, a beauty contest, fat mems
races, athletic sports and all the other
events of big field day. About the
middle OF August, he said, full turn
out will again be called for a moonlight
excursion down the historic Potomac
and back again: also great barbecue
to follow that in the near thereafter.
He also advises the Almas Divan and
the other units that he was "oing to
make another bid for the laurel wreath
OF fame with a ceremonial the coming
Fall or Winter, with a ceremonial cast
composed entirely of Masons of the
thirty-third degree, with an interna-
tional celebrity at the head. Among the
other touching things, the potentate
explained the reason for his unusual
potentatial energy. He said, when
son, Carter Keene, Jim Gibbs and other
celebrities on Shrine excursions and
outings as they sang, with all their
hearts IN their voices, "AlmaS Will Shine
Tonight" Whiting Estes, he said, was
his Sunday school teacher at the time,
and he solemnly vowed to Whiting that
If the time ever came that he was
potentate of Almas, Almas would shine,
and to that end he acquired his trade
OF brass worker and polisher. 1t was
