Scottish Rite Masons Convocation
In Key West Was Grand Success
Concluding Session Held
Ye S terday Afternoon;
Various Members Have
Departed From City

The Scottish Rite Masons clos.
ed their fifth Annual Convoca-
ton with the conference of the
officers and members with the
Deputy of the Supreme Council
of Scottish Rite Masons. James
Dunn. 32nd Degree. yesterday.
This is the second time that the
Scottish Rite Bodies of Key West
have entertained the Scottish
Rite Masons of South Florida. the
first being called in May. 1895.
when about fifty of the members
from Miami. Tampa and Lake
Wcrth met with the Deputy for a
general conference in the interest
of the Rite.
The two-day session this year
was shortened by the fact that
a large part of the members were
forced to return To their business
this morning and it was thought
best to advance the program as
far as possible and the general
conference was started yesterday
morning and closed in the after
room, .,--~-sAa-a-.
While there has been no spec
tacular gain in numbers, there is
evidence of real gain in the en-
thuSiasm of the whole member
ship. The reports from the sec
retaries of the different cities
showed constructive civic pro-
grams being carried out by
groups of their members, and
particularly in the work with the
boys. t.f@
The various speakers during
the conference emphasized the
responsibility of the Scottish
Rite in the influence they exert
over tie boys of their respective
communities and urged more con-
certed action to this end.
The convocation just closed IS
considered the best annual meet
ire because of more constructive
programs outlined for the coming
year.
The next convocation will be
held in Tampa and at that time
a definite organization will be
made with the proper officers for
the carrying on of united effort
for the benefit of the respective
communities as well as the Scot
fish Rite organizations of these
communities.
These annual meetings are for
all Scottish Rite Masons In THIS
area and the yearly increase in
attendance is the best evidence
of a growing interest in the af-
fairs of the Rite.
Most of the visitors left town
yesterday afternoon and the rest
of them followed today.

Line Likely By

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, July 13.-Laurence H.
Duncan, executive secretary of the
Raleigh chamber of commerce, who
has been very active in promoting
the proposed east-west air line from
Norfolk and Elizabeth City to Knox
vile, thinks there is good chance
for the line to be in operation on
regular schedule by the first of the
year.
The federal aeronautics authority
has set final hearing on the pro-
position for October 3Oth. lnaugu-
ration of regular mail and passenger
plane service is possible within five
days after the authority gives its de-
cision. Government agencies work
Slowly, and sometimes reach unex-

plated, and those .'in the know

advance of that juncture, voted to-
keep it going. Signs We're that the
senate would acquiesce. However,
some Of the acGuiescent senators
were frantic to get higher prices paid
by the treasury for silver from their
home states. Almost. no Republicans
and only a few anti-New Deal DEM
ocrats sympathized with the silver
bloc Nevertheless, they said, Lets
give the SilVerites what they want
on condition that they'll vote with
us against continued devaluatiOn, ct
cetera."
The silverites agreed. The coalition
voted against any more devalutlon
and to extinguish the treasury's two
billion-dollar stabilization fund. Like.
wise there was majority for still
advance in the treasury'S silver price
away above what the metal sells
for in world markets.
Thus the Senate and the House
were deadlOcked AS usual in such
cases the money bill went to COM
promise committee between the two
chambers. Rather belatedly the ad-
ministrationists realized that they
must make concessions to the sill
verites, or their whole devaluation
(etc) program would go into the
discard. They did make concessions.
They didn't give the silverites all
that they'd asked for, but they gave
'em part of it.
This compromise report was sent
by the committee to the two houses,
to be accepted or turned down.
The representatives, bossed by the
administration, accepted it imme-
diately.
The Senate was slower to act.
Mystic Hour Approaches.
Meantime the mystic hour of mid
night, June 80, was approaching fast
and when the clock struck II the
Presidents deValuatiOn power and
the treasury's stabilization fund were
scheduled to vanish by limitation.
The administrations asked
themselves, "Shall we just let 'em
expire without vote or shall we de-
finitely reject that compromise re-
port?"
If they'd been entirely sure of
themselves they'd have voted to re-
ject outright But they were bit
leery of the silverites. Therefore they
elected to stall the vote off until mid
night, June 80, allowing the presi-
dental and treasury powers to die q
natural death, with no vote whatever
That's what they did-and con-
graduated themselves, "What's ex.
pired can't be resuscitated."
To their dismay the administra-
tionists answered, ooh yes, it can

Main service of the route will be

Present mail time from far east to

proximately 33 hours. The air mail
will make it in less than four hours.
The importance of that time saving
to industry and commerce cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents.
At one time it was feared that
cities and towns not directly on the
proposed line might protest its estab-
lishment, but no such attitude has
been expressed. The line is virtual

position once held farmers not only
must give more attention to produc-

Of the State Department of Agricul

fits right into this program.
Senator Rodman was introduced

just word in regard to the smart

ion are wearing over their lingerie
frocks this summer. They are a
modern version of the one-time hon

In regard to the silk prints that
are everywhere present, and which
are in friendly rivalry to smart
linens, there is a decided flair
among women who dress in the
height of fashion for patternings
that run to neat checks, and to
pIaids and stripes with nothing less
than stampede for dotted effects
of every description. AS the mid
season approaches suits of the new
check silks will come into play in
perfect fashion. .

w HEN it comes to the voguish-
w ness of prints versus pastels
in the present mode the matter re-
solves itself into pretty much of a
tifty-ffty proposition. Which is to
say that the midsummer collections
are made up of a goodly showing of
each.
There is no doubt as to the i'm
portance of pastels especially for
cleverly tailored daytime dresses
that observe nicely of detail which
gives them "class" in the eyes of
discriminating women who know
their fashions. Favor for pastels
is expressed not only in silk crepes
and sheer woolens but hue and
cry is resounding for smart linens
in delectable muted pinks and
blues, rose shades, cool-looking
greens and grays, light yellows, Law
enders and novelty shades as cycla-
men, tulip shades and such. White
linens and linens au natural are
also chic.
One reason for the big splurge
that linens are making this season
is that through the wonders of mod
ern scientific processing newer lin
ems carry q promise of non
wrinkling and non-shrinking.
At the top of the picture to the
left see the attractive spectator
sports dress of pastel blue crease
resistant imported linen. 1t has one
of the very smart umbrelIa-tucked
skirts. A belt braided in matching
blue, fuchsia and yellow silk floss
says color in unnistakable terms.

the cunning poke bonnet is of white
straw.
