Highest Degrees to Be
Given in ConvoCation.

Is and 26, according to John F. En-
gelke, thrice potent master.
The Rose CroiX degrees, the sew
enteenth and eighteenth, known as

Laird, Obie j. Smith, William H.

the rite will be conferred in three

ence OF candidates and members,
and adequate preparations are being
made, it is said, to give service to
a large attendance.
A high point of the rituaIistic
work that is attracting attention in
the Indianapolis Jurisdiction, is the
exemplif1cation Of the TWENTY
seventh degree, which has been
taken over by a cast of 100 mem
bers from the Madison county
Scottish Rite Club, of which AL v.
ReSchar, Anderson, is president.
The bulletin also calls attention
to the Rites social program. an
nouncing that the entertainment
scheduled for March 20 has been
deferred and will be combined
with that for April II, which will
be a dinner dance for which adj
vance reservations must be made.
A class now is being formed for
the degrees at the coming convoca-
ton and it is announced that petit
lions Of Master MaSons must be in

 Teeth in those days were used for mechanical purposes to great extent, 1t has been shown, adding to the pains of those who were forced to pull leather thongs through skin packets and such things, perhaps, while suffering from severe toothaches.
