SOLEMN AND BINDING!
PSR0RN $3.50


Each of us, when we became
members of this fraternity, assum-
ed an obligation An obligation,
which not only changed our rela-
tiOns with a vast number of per-
sons, but in which we engaged in
a most solemn manner to perform
certain duties, and to practice good
and wholesome precepts.
do not believe 1t is necessary
at this time to detail these duties,
not to enumerate those precepts.
/ DO hold however, that the time
has arrived for us to take inven-
tory, and to determine how our
account stands with our own con-
science!
We accepted this most impress
sive' portion of our ceremonies
without force, and surely in no
moment of weakness, fully realiz-
ing what we were saying, and to
what we were being pledged. Our
honor is deeply concerned in keep
ing these promises to our brothers
and to ourselves.
How far we have transgressed
from this bond we assumed, has
been in evidence in many instances
both within the lodge room and in
our intercourse with the world at
large.
Spite, Envy and Malice have OBJ
scured the virtues of Friendship,
Love and Truth. Harmony has
given way to Discord.. Peace to
fractional disputes....the anthem o.
Love Thy Neighbor" has desolved
into Hymns of Hate..and tuneless
strains of Malignity! To defame
and disparage the character of a
brother seems to be the acme of
some careers.
This is not Odd Fellowship nor
what Odd Fellowship teaches!
Those who are our fraternal
brothers should be the objects OF
our fraternal care and respect. II
a member of this organization can
not expect these from his brothers
from whom can he expect to re-
ceive them? If he cannot rely upon
the integrity of his fraternal com
paniOn, whom can he trust? If he
cannot depend upon receiving JUS
tice from his brethren, to whom
can he look for good faith.... fidelity
and. loyalty? Let us then rehearse
our solemn obligation and serious
ly take inventory of our moral and
| fraternal behavior, acts, and
speech. Those who expect to rear
the blessings of Odd Fellowship
and all Fraternalism, must like all
men undergo the trials Of support.

Let us deal with the faults OF
others, as gently as with our own!

Chrysler Looks For
Big Year In 1853

Chrysler Division will capture
its greatest share of the automo-
bile market in it's history in 1858,
predicts ]. A. OMalley, vice pres
ident and general sales manager.
"The domestic outlook for 1858
is the brightest in years, even
though the post war boom days of
easy selling are gone" OMalley
said.
Business won't come knocking
at the dealers door in 1858, but it
will be very good for those who
look for it at the prospects door.
The people who sell hard will, as
in days gone by, reap the rewards
of big sales"
Competition will be keen if the
number of cars now projected can
be built, said O'Malley, pointing out
that availability of materials and
the international situation will
have to be considered.
"We have reason to hope that
the industry will be permitted to
fix it's schedules on the basis of
public demand" O'MaIley said.
There is a growing belief that
with the progress. of the defense
program, our industry can build in
1853 all the cars we can sell with
out in any way interfering with the
requirements of the military"
Indications are that 100000
passenger cars will be produced in
1858, and, if the industry achieves
this goal, OMalley said. ChTysleT
dealers should have an excellent
year.
Il am firmly convinced that this
year will be the largest percentage
wise in Chrysler's history" o.
Malley said. I'VE have the finest
product in our history this year,
resulting in Unprecedented public
and dealer acceptance of the 1853
line"
"In addition, the loyalty Of our
owners, always high, has increased
greatly in the last two years due
to the popularity of the FirePOwer
engine, our pioneering of full-time
power steering, power brakes and
other features introduced in the
last two years"
0Malley said that it is Chrys-
ler's intention to capitalize on this
owner loyalty by helping Chrysler
dealers to continue to improve up
on the outstanding service job they
have done for the American motor
ing public. Everyone in the Chrys-
Ter organization is aware Of the
Importance Of service to customers
and to this end Chrysler is helping
dealers provide larger and better
service facilities stated by factory
trained men.
OMalley paid tribute to the spir-
it that prevails among Chrysler
dealers and pointed out that there
had been a very small turnover in
the Chrysler dealer rosfer.
"Chrysler dealers, I know, will
welcome on actively competitive
market" O'Malisy said. "It was
competition that built our industry
and made the automobile the most
marvellous piece Of machinery and
the best value for the money i'm the
entire mechanical field"

BURBANK, Calf, Mar. T.
Friends and admirers by the
hundreds turned out today for
the funeral of James j. Jeffries,
the last of the old-time heavy
weight boxing champions.
The scene was the spacious,
rambling, ranch-type Jeffries
home, but it was hardly large
enough to accommodate the
throng that came to pay final
respects to the old "Boilermaker, "
who died in his sleep Tuesday
night. He was II.
The gathering overran the
front room, immense in itself +,
filled the broad front porch and
on out to the streets in both
front and side yards.
A special guard of honor, II

men, augmented more than a
score of county and city officers
in the long procession to the
grave in Inglewood Cemetery.
Jeffries, who won the heavy
weight championship in 1899
from the great Bob Fitzsimmons,
and retired, undefeated, in 1905,
had lived here since shortly after
the return of the Gentry.

Crowd Protests Two Decisions
As Gu Boxers Lose to Virginia

the decision over Joe Della Rata,
a basketball starr for three years
before he turned to boxing. Joe
got no worse than a draw on
most of the unofficial score
sheets, and from the press bench
it seemed he won by wide mar
gin.
The verdict so enraged Coach
LaFond that he charged over to
Hull, protesting bitterly. What
he said couldn't be heard over
the roar of the crowd, but it OBJ
viously wasn't complimentary.
LaFond then examined the score
sheet on which the referee had
scored 10-7-10 for Robert, and
9-10-7 for Della Rata. LaF'ond
thought the Gu battler had the
edge in all three rounds, but the
referee didn't call it that way.
LaFond flung the sheet down
agrily as Gu fans rained balls of
paper into the ring and yelled in
protest.
It was several minutes before
the ring could be cleared for the
heavyweight encounter. This one
went to Catholic U. as Tom De-
Cicco used his weight advantage

There were old-timers like Jack

the game as Babe Mccoy, Carroll

through the crowd when the
soloist, singing The End of a
