 16 and 21-ExaIter Ruler Reports

The Waterbury Lodge of Elks will consider the institution of a junior order within the lodge for young men between the ages of 16 and 21 years of age, at meeting of the board of governors to be held soon. The new order would be known as "Antlers" and would be / open to all young men of the city.
 The action of the local lodge was made known following a re- port on the national Elks conven- tion at Kansas City. Mo, by Exalt- ed Ruler Frank H. Bailey at the lodge meeting last night, Exalted Ruler Bailey said 1t was the grand lodges idea to put the "Antlers" project into every lodge in the United States. The membership would not be limited to sons or relatives of Elks but would include all eligible young men within the age prescribed. Further announce ments on the project will be made later as the plans progress.
 Exalted Ruler Bailey gave very interesting report on the conyen- ton. He said the delegates were hampered in their activities be- cause of the intense heat, the ther- mometers registering an average of 108 degrees during the entire week. Lawns in Kansas City were scorched and the ground baked, The heat caused crevices to open in the ground to distance of sev- eral feet and several inches wide.

 The Elks parade that wound up the convention MT Bailey said was the largest in Kansas City's his- tory. California's float showed beautiful girls tossing oranges and packages of raisins to the thou sands lining the sidewalks. The heat curtailed the length of the parade. It took two and a half hours to pass a given point and was quite impressive, MT Bailey reported.
