First attention was given to the preparations made for the Arab Patrol excursion to Marshall Hall Thursday, August 25—“the annual patrol frolic.” as it is called. Fut the patrol had covared the ground so effectively that little was left for sug- gestion, it s said. only that the frolic will be “the greatest Shrine event” of the year, “and then some.” The next t was a call upon Noble Frank P. burn, chairman of the general com- Session in 1923. It has been twentv-three years since Washington has had the honor of entertaining the Imperial Council of the A. A. O. N. M. S., and it is the purpose of Almas Temple's potentate to leave no stone unturned to make the forthcoming event, as Henry Says,” “the’ most unique and grandiose in Shrine history.” Henry feels confident that all who are inter- ested in keeping Washington, the cap- ital of the United States, conspicuous n the national eve. will see that nothing is lacking to secure from the Imperial Council its acceptance of the invitation to hold its session in Wash- ington in June, 1923. The Almas Automobile Club house on West river is a popular Shrine resort during the warm weather. In addition to the contingent that is spending a short vacation there. each new day brings a fresh influx of Shrine visitors.
