What Stocks Did.
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 7.-Despite the
relative firmness Of some of the oils
and scattered specialties, price trends,
generally, developed a downward slant
in today's stock market. The decline
was attributed partly to technical
factors and to discouraged selling.
The close was rather heavy. Trans
fers approximated 850,000 shares.
Substitution by the Senate of the
VinSon soldiers bonus bill for the Har-
rison measure did not, apparently,
revive inflationary psychology. The
metals, up at one time, turned soft
In the final hour. The rails and some
other pivotal issues were friendless.
The major grains weakened at Chi
cago and cotton was a laggard. Sec
ondary bonds were inclined to fol-
low stocks and even United States
Government securities registered mod
crate recessions. Sterling reacted In
foreign exchange dealings, but the
gold currencies improved.
Among share gamers of fractions
to around a point were Standard Oils
of New Jersey and California, Sea-
board and Texas Corp. American
Crystal Sugar preferred advanced
more than 2. Eastman Kodak drop
ped about 2, as did American Bank
Note. Others, off fractionally to a
point or so, included U. s. Smelling,
Howe Sound, Cerro de Pasco, Union
Pacific, N. Y. Central, Santa Fe, Pull
man. American Can, Industrial Rayon,
Allied Chemical, U. s. Steel, Betllle-
hem, American Telephone and Con-
solidated Gas.
General Motors and Chrysler were
about unchanged in the face of q more
hopeful outlook in the strike situa-
ton. Montgomery Ward, Sears Roe
buck and other retail shares were
steady as sales continued to mount.
American Smelling was resistant not
withstanding difidence of the other
mining stocks.

A IMAS next year will be so years old. Al
though only half century in age, its
ceremonials hark back to the ancient Of days,
as do all other Shrines in the united North
America Jurisdiction over which Washingto-
nian soon will preside.
The ritual now in use here Is translation
from the original Arabic found preserved in
the archives of the Order at Aleppo. Syria.
whence it was brought in 1850 to London, Eng
land, by Rzkallah Hassoon Efendee, who was
the author Of several important works in
Arabic. His History Of Islam" offended the
Turkish government because Of its humani-
tartan principles and he was forced to leave
his native country. He was ripe scholar In
Arabic poetry and the general literature OF his
age and his improvement in the diction of GER
tain parts of the ritual of the Shrine Temple
are OF great beauty and value.
The salutation of distinction among the
nobility Is known as "Es Selamu Aleikum,'
by which one Almas noble says to another
Peace be on you," and the answer being
shifted in order says, ION You Be the Peace"
The jewel of the order is crescent formed
OF any substance, through which usually Is
struck scimitar In one form or another. The
most valued materials by which the Shrine
crescent is formed are supposed to be the claws
of the royal Bengal tiger.
Inc beginning OF Almas, according 10 the
records, was on December 3d. 1885 when 10
eligibles met in private apartments at 502
Ninth street and took action to form temple.
The 10 brethren mentioned in the minutes
OF that meeting according to Edward Burk-
holder. editor of the Alma Alibi were not
guided by the brilliance of a supernatural star
poT were they of the caste Of Magi, but they
were guided by the light of reasonable hope,
and there lay in the ardor of their zeal an
undiscerned wisdom which has produced re-
suits far beyond the dreams of our founders"
The early history of Almas Temple is closely
linked with that of Boumi Temple of Bati-
more, for it was group of Boumi mobiles that
launched the craft Of Almas on the waters of
Shrinedom. The date of the charter, which
hangs on the wall of the Office of the recorder,
F. Lawrence Walker, is January IT, 1886. APP
parently some mobiles didn't like the name of
Almas, meaning Diamond which had been
adopted, but on reconsideration it was for
mally adopted.
The fair of the Shrine for esoteric and odd
names was early indicated and in those days
such terms as "eats" and putting on the
feed bag" were unknown. Instead, according
TO Noble Burkhoder, the early records en-
bIaced such cryptic things as refecto
'chthyophgus. saharan almentation. Collatione

A 1MAs grew steadily through the years from
the time IT was granted its charter as the
twenty fourth temple in North America. The
Imperial Conclave here in 1900 drew but a few
temples to the National Capital. But by 1923
Almas had grown along with the United States,
and week OF ceremonies drew Shrinedom TO
this city for such . series Of functions as are
outstanding among the thousands of paradeS
and public functions here.
But Almas in another way has made great
strides since 1928, In the building of its beau
tiful Oriental temple on X street, which now Is
the dynamic headquarters for the week of fes-
tlvities. Its Moorish arches cleaning through
the gorgeous temporary decorations placed
there for the conclave appear virtually to bulge
with the pressure of activities within. Almas
Temples new home. while not the largest in
North America, is considered to typfy perfectly
the spirit OF the Shrine. Its polychromatic
front, inspired by the Alhambra in Spain,
stands forth a shining example of this type
of architecture in the National Capital, color
fu1. picturesque, unique.
Almas plans to make an excellent showing Of
Its uniformed bodies in the spectacular
parades These units have been placed under
the command of Charles Shackelford, past
potentate of the temple who has brought them
up to full strength in membership and skill in
their own speciaties.
The Arab Patrol. under Capt Jesse E Porter,
contains 68 mobiles, in picturesque regalia.
The band under leadership of Director
Frederick Wilken, and the drum corps, led by
Frank J. Paul. now number 100 men. They
plan to do their best to vie with the finest
Shrine bands throughout the country.
The Legion OF Honor. under Capt. Clyde N.
Strange recruited up to full strength OF q
Legionnaires, plans to put the military touch
into Almas presentatio with snap and pre-
cision.
The oriental Band numbering IA is under
leadership OF Frank M Graham. unusual
outfit, with unusual offerings for the parade.
The list of Almas potentates down through
the years presents group of men well known
not only in their chosen Masonic field of activ-
ity but for the most part in many other phases
of Washington life. Beginning in 1886, the
potentates of Almas have been the following:
