EMPLE HEIGHTS” already is becoming B Masonic habi- tat of Importance. Through Commander King of Po- tomac Commandery, No. 3. we learn that the site of the new Masonic Tem- ple is the place where the grand and constituent commanderies of Knights Templar of the District will stage a Templar fleld day and annual inepec- tion, October 26. On this date, it is further announced, in addition to the usual parade and inspection, a series of exhibition and competitive drills for prizes of considerable value will be staged. Sunday, July 30, George E. Corson, provincial grand master of the Royal Order of Scotland, who also is a past grand high priest’of the Grand Chap- 4 ter of Royal Arch Masons of the Dis- trict, and & past grand commander of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar, will reach the ripe age of eighty years, and, through Stirling Kerr, provinclal grand secretary of the Royal Order, it is announced, he will be pleased to receive the. fra- ternal greetings of his brethren, from 4 to 8 o'clock, at his residence, § Hes- keth street, Chevy Chase, Md., just west of the Chevy Chase Circle. Religious services will be held under the auspices of the Grand Lodge on Temple Heights, formerly the Dean tract, at 3 o'clock p.m. every Sunday until_further notice, beginning on July 30, when the service will be con- ducted by Rev. John C. Palmer, gra chaplain. All membe: of the fra- ternity and their friends are invited. The services August 6 will be con- duced by Rev. David Ransom Covell, assistant grand chaplain; August 13, by Rev. Joseph J. Muir of the Temple Bap- tist Church: August 20, by Rev. Earle Wilfley of the Vermont Avenue Chris- uan Church, and August 27, by Rev. Chl:;: E. Fultz of the United Brethren urch. Ilustrious Potentate Leonard P. Steuart of Almas Temple has at last— in spite of etrikes and other draw- backs—reached Washington, and ye he isn't here when this is written, having hopped out of town almost im- mediately upon his arrival, probably to slowly work off his penchant for traveling. The pote, more or less un- der the guiding protectorate of Mrs. Steuart, visited far-off Hawali, with Imperial Potentate James §. McCand- 'y Shrine loves to call ‘Sunny _Jim"; Illustrious Potentate Harry N. Dennison of Aloha Temple and Noble Wallace R. Farrington, Governor of Hawaii. Many will im- agine he was on a ‘‘seeing” trip, and to a large extent he was, £0 he says. But there was much seriousness in the Shrine conferences which he held with the imperial potentate and his divan of the Imperial Council respect- ing the meeting of the Imperial Council in Washington June 5. 6 an 7 of next year. The Shriner's Aloha edition of the| Honolulu Bulletin, issued June 22, tells of the Hawailan hospitality lav- ishly extended to' the visiting Shriners; It devotes much space to a detailed story of the Shrine effort in the form of hospitals for crippled children; it even endeavors to teach Hawalian in one short lessom;, point- ing out that there are but twelve let- ters in the Hawalian language, that the vowels, a, 6, 1, 0, and u, are given their values as in Spanish, and are always pronounced, never slurred, and that w is often pronounced as v, so that it is Vai-kee-kee, quickly pronounced, and not Wal-ki-ki, that is the name of the famous beach with which Americans who patronize the theater are more or less familiar. It tells that the Kahunasm poi-pound- ers, calabash band and hula girls are realities and all were in the spec- tacular caravan that entertained the strangers. Five full days were set art by Alcha Temple and Honolulu for the entertainment of the great influx of Shrine visitors from the mainland _and some of them were spent at Walkiki Beach, Moana Hotel Beach, Luau, a Hawalian villige, and in a_“Night in Hawaii,” staged in the Hawailan village. There were lots of interesting incidents recorded, but the main thing so far as Wash- ington is concerned was the discus- sion of next year's Imperial Council session. Potentate Steuart has realized, in the language of extravagant descrip: tion, that it is going to be & “whale, some say a “white elephan for it is confldently predicted that the at- tendance will exceed that of San Francisco, which thus far is the big- gest session in Shrine annale. Al- regdy letters are pouring in to Re- cofder F. Lawrence Walker asking that reservations be made for mext year for various temple divans, bands and patrols. The demands of the tem- les thus far heard from run from 55 to 400 rooms, on_ths basis of two people to & room. Temples thus far Reard from include Islam of San Franoisoo, Aladdin of Columbus, Ohio; Z8-Ga-Zig of Des Moines, Iowa; Hella of Dallat ex.; the new temple at Waco, Tex.; Algeria of Helena, Mont.; Pyramid of Bridgeport, Conn.; Cyprus of Albany, N.

The generosity and the hospitality of the city of Washington will go forth in full measure to the visitors of next year. The important tking, however, at this time, {8 to make clear to the general public the mammoth proportions of the event, for it is going to make some of our inaugura- tion crowds look like a village gath- ering in comparison. Prompted by the desire of doing something worth while and following the line of Shrinedom as a whole, the Caravan Club of Almas Temple, at its last luncheon at the City €lub, decid- ed to do something substantial for the many children who shave hereto- fore bene! d by the efforts of the Trinity Community -at 3d and C streets northwest, where Rev. David Ransom Covell, the Almas Temple chaplain and the Caravan Club di- rector, has worked with the children for the past three and a half years The work is non-sectarian, of wide scope and of strong appeal. There- fore, the Caravan Club made definite arrangements whereby the American League base ball game to be played August 24, at the league park, be- tween the Nationals and the Chicagos, will be for the benefit of the Trinity Community, now, it is sald, much in need of financial assistance. In this effort the lodges are joining with a will. Albert Pike Lodge has already appropriated a sum with which to invite the soldier boys at Walter Reed Hospital as its guests and the lpdge also pledged itself to attend to afman and to work individually in the dis- posal of tickets for the game. Presi- dent Pearson of the club has appoint- ed as the committee in charge of this game Ellwood P. Morey, District dep- uty for the Bcottish Rite: J. Parker Naugle and Rev. David Ransom Co- vell, and this committee is meeting weekly in furthering the arrange- ments, especlally the disposition of the tickets. Hiram Lodge is planning a past masters’ nig® for August 3, when Past }[nsu-r Harry G. Kimball and others of his rank in the lodge will present the M. M. degree. Osiris Lodge last Wednesday even- ing, after the degree work, celebrated with entertainment and refreshments the from P Master and Grand Marshal Sydney R. Jacobs that Osiris thus far ranks No. 11 in the list of contributions for the erection of the new Masonic Temple. Already, it was stated, half the membership has subscribed and the others are falling In line rapidly. Harmony Lodge has called off its communications until the first meet- ing scheduled for ptember. The Harmony Lodge Bulletin is whooping up the slogan, “Be a Temple Builder!” Kallipolis Grotto s invited to at- tend the fleld day celebration of Yedz Grotto, Baltimore, at Riverside Park, August 3. 1t is expected that a large delegation will go. Monarch M. W. Pickering announces a short form ceremonial at Pythian Temple, August 14. Chief Justice Henry J. Gompers will have charge, and he promises something unique in the way of entertainment. A liberal program of good things is promised. Arrangements are now under way for a mammoth ceremonial in Oc- tober. The grotto drill corps promised a bumper crop of candi- dates for this affair and each member is trying to outdo the other in ob- taining petitions. Past Monarch Charles D. Shackel- ford has been honored by Grand Mon- arch E. Craige Pelouze with appoint- ment upon the Supreme Council com- mittee on necrology. The appointive offices are few, and Kallipolis Grotto considers ftseif highly honored by the selection. Prophet Paul Leibel has returned from & trip abroad. The Railroad Square Club visited the Masonic and Eastern Star Home recently and the program presented held the interest throughout. Homer J. Councilor, the speaker of the even- ing, was introduced by George H. Winslow, secretary of the Terminal Rallroad Y. M. C. A. Mr. Councilor's fund of bon mots and anecdotes scemed inexhaustible. His humor and mimicry made a decided hit. In conciusion, “Morning, Noon and Twilight" was his topic—the rosy dawn that heralds the approach- ing day, the glory of the sun at me- ridian and when “shadows lengthen g on the dial"—the twilight of a well- ordered, peaceful life. The smiles and applause of the home folks, though eyes were moist, gave evidence of ap- preciation. Durward Bowersox gave seloctions, accompanied by Miss Marie Belt. They included the well _known “Rosary” and sclections by Bohn and Sullivan. Miss Beva Fish's dancing, Mrs. Earl Fisher at the piano and Mrs. Viola Klinger in songs, with the Washington Terminal Raliroad Y. M. C. A. Orchestra, completed the pro- gram. An_excellent collation was served by Mesdames Totten, Winslow, Cun- ningham, Treglow and other ladies of the Eastern Star. Almas Temple Patro! greeted Po- tentate L. P. Steuart Thursday night at a largely attended meeting, the first since the pilgrimage to San Francisco, and pledged its whole- hearted support in the preparation: for the 1923 Imperial Council s sion, to be held in this city. Visi- tors’ from other temples included Recorder J. Jolly Jones of Za-Ga- ig Temple, Des Moines, Towa, for- mer Almas member, and Past Po- tentate Walton of Abou Ben Adhem Temple, Springfield, Mo., member of the Imperial Council, each of whom promised a large delegation from his temple next year.
