Corson will be at home to his Ma sonic brethren who may call to ten- der congratulations on his eightieth birthday. Mr. Corson is not_oniy provincial grand master of the Royal Order of Scotland, the connecting link } between Scottisit Rite Masons of the northern and southern jurisdictions of the United States. but he is also past general grand high priest of the Genéral Grand Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons of the United States, & past grand high priest of the District and a past grand commander ‘of the Grand Commandery of Knights Tem- plar of the District. Illustrious Potentate Leonard P. Steuart of Almas Temple of the Mys- tic Shrine, once more at his post, speaks with much enthusiasm of the generous and exceptional treatment accorded him and Mrs. Steuart during their trip to Hawall by Imperial Po- tentate James S. McCandless «nd his divan of the Imperial Council that attended him to his home. He states that it was not only fortunate for him, but also for the prospects of the Imperial Council in Washington next June. that he made the journey;.for, although the Imperial Council had unanimously chosen Washington a its next meeting place, the ifaperial potentate, under the power conferred upon him, was strongly inclined to reverse the decision for Masonic rea sons. which it is not conmsidered wise to divulge. Eventually the decision of the Imperial Councll was tenta- tively confirmed, but Frank=Jones, imperil first ceremonial master, who has been the guest of Potentate Steu- art during the week, closing in- quiring _into_conditions which may eventually affect the fipal decision. although the Almas potentate believe strongly that the matter will defi- nitely be settled in fayor of Wash- tngton, because it is known to be the wish_of Shrinedom generslly to visit the National Capital during Presi- dent ~Harding's term, ifi résponse to what is belleved to be his wish, and the Jume conventfon' next year will be the best opportunity to show him that courtesy. The impérial potén- tate is said to be desirous of deciding in favor of Washington if the con- ditions which affect the matter make it possible. Already potentates of the various temples and other officers acting for them have made reservation of nearly 2,500 Tooms fop the June, 1923, ses sion, and daily’new requests are be ing received by mail at Recorder K. Lawrence Walker's office, and new arivals of Shrine officidls who take tide by the forelock are showing the interest feit throughout the country in the matter. e Tllustrious Potentate Steuart him- self, in addition to glving the visitors |5 a Shriner's welcome to Washington, has been busily considéfing “the or- ganization of the gemeral executive committee for next syear’s big and he states-he wilt” be-ready to make announcement ¢f theé name of the general chairman, at le: [3 next week.

That the tire bills of the speeder are likely to be higher than those of the driver who proceeds at a mod- érate pace is a point to be remem- bered by the motorist who would keep down the cost of upkeep. Heat exerts a doteriorating effect on rubber in proportion to the inten- sity and length of time the rubber is exposed to it. Running at high speed quickly raises the temperature of a tire. This heat results from the In- ternal“friction set up in the tire car- cass. Tires are designed to resist the effects of heat produced by ordi- nary every-day car operation, but they cannot long remain intact when highly heated by continuous speeding. A high-grade tire on a racing car will seldom stand up for 500 miles. SOUSA BAND WILL MOTOR. To effect a saving of about $60.000 in transportation costs, Lieut. Com- mander John Phjlip Sousa and his band during its forthcoming tour of twenty weeks will use motor busses ingtead of raitways. It is antici- pated that under this arrangement no time will be lost in the transporta- tion of baggage for the bandsmen. ¢ istant president, Mrs. Wise president, .

BALTIMORE, July 29.—Motorists who may be apprehendéd by any of Motor Vehicle Commissioner Baugh- man's eétablishments, including spe- cial deputies, will be able henceforth to demand that the arresting officer identify himself by producing his photograph along with other cre- dentials.

Several instances have been reported where automobiles have been stopped by persons without authority, posing as deputies of the motor vehicle commissioner. ' —_— Races Not Only Give Thrills, But Also” Tips for Me- chanics. The popularity of automobile racing i due not only to the intense ex- citement created by the thrilling sport, but also to the fact that motor car men realize the extent to which it has hastened the solution of many puzzling automobile problems. The matter of lubrication is a strik- ing instance of this. Because of the, great speed at which they are driven. racing cars present, in a magnified way, the truth about friction that cxists in cars in normal use. Both engineers and car’owners are shar- ing in the lubricating lessons taught by experience of the speed Kings. NATIONAL AUTO SHOWS.

BALTIMORE, July 29.—To protect the careful motorists and “eramp the style” of automobile thieves & drive will begin Sunday against owners of cars who have (heir»lkmlll' tags ob- scured. For several weeks violations of this kind have brought simply reprimand and an admonition to cor- rect the fault, but, beginning Sunday, all violators will have te do some explaining in court. The obscured license tag, according to Automobile Commissioner Baugh- man, is a great aid to the automobile thief. "A- car is #tolen in Ba]timore. Within a half hour 1,000 policemen on the streets have the number of the machine and are looking for it.

But in future this subter- fuge will not work, as every machins with license plates obscured in any way will be halted and the owner after proving it to be his car, will be notified to appear in court. At the recent conference of the au- tomobile commissioners of ten states on the Atlantic seaboard, held at the home of Commissioner Baughman, at Braddock Heights, it was agreed that the obscured license tug was one of the chief Melps to the thief in escap- ing arrest. In all ten states similar drives to stop the evil will be started Fines for violations of this kind range from $10 to $100.
