.10 HISTORY OF SEAS TOLDIN BRILLIANT | PAGEANT ON RIVER Thousands Line Potomac Banks to Witness Colorful Water Parade. * History acted over hundreds of ( Years and recorded in the archives for posterity was floated down the Potomac river this afternoon, Vis- ualizing before the eyes of thousands of people who lined the banks of the historic watercourse, with all the realism that pageantry could make it, the events that stand out in the making of the world and the growth | of a nation in particular. It was the convening of the con- Bress of the seas, and it was a fitting | tribute to the later-day makers of history at sea, that the Navy was| chosen to lead through safe waters this superbest of all water pageants, in whose line, not far behind a rep-| lica of the giant pyramids of Egypt. which, contrasted to the silence of those on the desert, belched forth camels, rags, frogs, 'birds, Shriners and what not as it floated down the stream announcing that the congre had assembled and was coming, was the nation united in the “weicome float.” followed by Neptune, who con- trols the seas: Cleopat Chinese Junk ship of the Vikings; Ce lumbus on the Santa Maria, Hendrik mith on the Sarah Hudson.

Modern Ships Shown. Floated down then the vessels of ancient and more modern history, drawn slowly through the water on the crest of a flood tide by the spar- colored work boats of the United| States Navy, the tugs The nation from all its corners was represented in the “Welcome "loat.” a_ tribute of the city to the visiting Shriners from all parts of the country. There were on this 160 maidens. representing the north, the south, the east and the west, bear- ing greetings and gifts to the temple | members. They were clad in the| cold blues, representing the north;! the vellow' of the rising sun of the east; the lovely pink from the south and the shaded greens from the west. They wore turbans and scarfs in the colors of the sections they repre- sented. and were entwined in and bore garlands of flowers and baskets of fruits of their representative sec- tions. Majestically riding the sea horses!| and surrounded by beautiful mer- maids was the hoary-headed Nep- tune, bearing his scepter of power over the se: nd in his glory today his power was exemplified in the calm waters of the Potomac and the gentle zephyrs that but slightly moved his flowing locks and those of the maidens who looked up at him in worshipful praise. Cleopatra Rides in Glory. Having passed along ahead thej modern controllers of the seas, Nep- tune in all his majesty took com-|{ mand and called behind him the ves- sels closer to his time. There came | then Cleopatra, proceeding with all the pomp and ceremony given her in her ancient day on her way from Alexandria. Egypt, to meet Mark Antony. She was attended by ten‘ maids of honor and ten flower girls. | The barge itself was done with all| the effect of the pageant producers’} art to all the realism as handed | down in histo 1t _had a purple ground, with z0ld and green reliefs, with dias and shields of gold. Then came a Chinese junk of an cient times. controlled by a manda rin of ancient China, striking terror with the great dragons, and num- berless Chinese coolies moving about the decks The mandarin was at- tended by four Chinese princes, all arrayed in blue, orange, purple and yellow. Passed in review then a ship of| the Vikings, displaving to eiviliza- tion what those of ancient times had to_contend with. It was svmbolic of the force and power that the Viking loved and wor- shiped, bearing fifty sturdy Norse- men in gleaming shield and breast- plate, with bows and arrows. spears and battle axes, and with their hel- mets glittering in the sun, present- ing an appearan truly splendid. It was the barge of Lief Ericson, most mighty Norseman, who, wear- ing the horned helmet of command, his two licutenants at his side, sur- rounded by his kinsmen, ruthless rovers of the sea, had ventured far and janded on the coast of Greenland awaw back in the year 1000, before Columbus’ time, At the vessel's sturdy prow rose a stunning figurehead, the symbol of his family god, a veritable ‘“fetish® among the clan, like the totem pole of the Indian and as reverently wor- shiped, and at the vessel's sides the oarsmen pulled. Getting down to the days in history which marked the beginning of America and the United States of today, came the Santa Maria, with Christo- pher Columbus aboard. He was ac- companied by a crew of gay Spanish courtiers, with a pirate crew and con- victs as oarsmen, for it is handed down in history that Columbus could only get such to make such an adventurous voy- age as he undertool Hendrik Hudson, in the Half Moon, with_fifty jolly Dutch adventurers in blg Dutch "hats, buckled slippers and coats of many colors, came next, fol- lowed by the English’ ship Sarah Con- stant, which, history records, brought Capt’ John Smith to Virginia shores with a party of gay noblemen.

Next came the Mayflower. manned by lineal descendants of (the famous ship of Puritan fame, whose namesake of the American Navy, anchored close by, is the presidential vessel which transports Noble Warren G.

Tn the van was the Clermont, fore- runner of the majestic of ships of steam that now plow the waters of the world, carrying commerce and welding together the world in a way unknown in the day when the originals of these anclent ships traveled the waters. On board were a gay party in fascinating cos- tumes and poke bonnets of the period of 1850. As each vessel hove in sight at each point along the course from the Key Bridge, down the Georgetown channel, round Hains point and up the Wash- ington channel, there was applause in tribute to the characters and to the effectiveness of the work of the pageant makers, The historic fleet was_wel- comed hardly less noisy than the Pyra- mid barge, which belched forth its erup- tious array of fireworks to announce that the festivities were on and a nation's capital rejoicing over its vis- itors. Weeks of Preparation. Weeks of preparation were Te- quired in the preparation of the con- gress of the seas, and a corps of workers has been engaged for days in fixing up the floats at the Water street wharf. Barges were loaned by the Navy and District government, and federal and District officials did much to help in the work. Lieut. Russell Dean of the Harbor precinct in the harbor tug, moved barges whenever requested, and Superinten- dent Mover of the penal institutions of the District and his aides released from regular work as many District barges as possible and early so that the workmen could change them into ships of history.

The peaches ere loaded aboard a Martin ‘bomber, which was one of a pair that flew from Aberdeen, Md., to Augusta for a compressed bale of cotton, and to carry it to New Eng- land for fabrication into Masonic aprons, which will be distributed here. The peaches reached Wash- ington in five hours’ fiying time. The Martin bomber dropped the peaches off at Aberdeen and they were rushed down to Bolling Field by another airplane in time to reach President Harding for his supper table. The peaches were a gift from the people of Georgia and were given to the President by Lieut. Courtney Whitney of Bol- ling Field in the presence of rep- resentatives of the Georgla State Soclety. The other Martin bomber pro- ceeded to New Bedford, Mass., where the compressed bale of cot- ton was made into Masonic aprons last night. The ship carrying these aprons reached here about 11 o'clock and the aprons were taken to Keith’s Theater for distribu- tion to the Imperial Council: a number will be kept at the fleld as souvenirs for the Shriners and the rest will be taken to the air service exhibition at the Lincoln Memorial, where representatives of each Shrine temple may pro: cure them. —— Worth Less Than Pension.

Philadelphia turns sharply into the garden and sweeps in majestic gran- deur down before the President, sa- lutes and quickly melts into the stream of color wending its way to- ward Washington Circle. More than 1,000 strong, Lu Lu offers one of the outstanding’ spectacles of the proces- slon. Its. patrol has found even a new color scheme—old gold, gray, crim- son and yellow. Behind it comes the Lu Lu ‘guards, black-coated with White breeches and white cloth belts setting off black helmets, lending a spirit reminiscent of 1917. To_the stirring tune of “Maryland, My Maryland,” Boumi Temple of Bal- timore, " gwings slowly around the Treasury. its bright uniforms of light blue, yeliow, purple and black offer- ing a’ dazzling sight. Now its patrol, dressed in roval purple and oriole yellow, steps smartly past, a most at- tractive sight. Maneuvers Thrill. Murat Temple of Indianapolis and Tripoli of Milwaukee havenearly raised the spectators to their feet with demonstrations of drilling, Jerusalem Temple of New Orleans, La., boasting the biggest bass drum in ‘the parade, is next past with an- other mounted patrol. Bringing up its rear is a whole company of flag- bearers carrying in triumph the na- tional emblem, followed by the em- blem of the Mystic Shrine. And won- der seems to follow wonder, for a mounted Arab guard leads the faith- ful of Osman from St. Paul through the garden. Here comes a company of real sheiks! It is Zurah Temple of Min- neapolls, their patrol forming a per- fect letter “Z." Palestine Temple of Providence, R. L. looks almost unnatural, dressed in commonplace white shirts, red sashes and white trousers, Virginia Scores. What could be more appropriate than for old Virginia, represented by Acca Temple, to swing past the Presi- dent, and the Shrine leaders, to the tune of “Dixie.” their patrol dressed in stifly starychmed white uniforms set off by red fezzes, their guard cos- tumed as Arabian bedouins? Virginia took second place to none. Isis Temple of Salina, Kan., where the transcontinental caravan met dis- aster, is saluting the imperial poten- tate by playing ‘“Aloha.”” Here come “the Ladies from He! It is Rameses Temple of Toronto, Canada, led through the Garden of Allah by the Union Jack of Great Britain and a band wearing the highland kilts. Kismet Temple of Brooklyn, N. Y., may clalm_ distinc- tion for many things—the clown of the procession, a South Sea Island cannibal and one of the big- gest representations in line. Music Everywhere. Who are these strangers, each wearing on his breast a flaming red heart? They are the sons of Kansas City, “the heart of America,” fore- most boosters for the next convention of the Mystic Shrine. Behind them is heard the familiar tune of Cali- fornia and down the street comes Al Malikah of Los Angeles, followed by the hosts of Jacksonville, stepping to the familiar strains of “Swanee river.” See that funny little drum leading his band down the festooned garden and dancing and hopping around all the while, to the tune of “Reuben, Reuben, I've Been Thinkin® The sons of Chatanooga.

And he has no sooner disappeared than the patrol of Ainad Temple of East St. Louis demonstrates some of the finest marching of the day. Water Boy Helps. Whenever a_temple such as Sudan of Newbern, N. C., passes the grand- stand, well supplied with a dolled-up water-boy, the sweltering spectators begin to feel that it's a bit harder to sit still than it would be to be in the line of march where it is possible at least to get a drink of water. But it is all over now. Here comes Ben All, last but not least, given the final position because it was the last temple to be granted a charter. Dressed in crimson, green and gold, the falthful from the Sacramento Temple have now swung past the reviewing stand, and the premier pa- rade of Washington—declared by many in the grandstands to have been one of the greatest spectacles of its kind ever witnessed in America— faded down the road to Mecca. The crowd turned from their seats and nothing now remains. but for the thousands to find their way home. Judging from the stands, however, it is likely to be dinuer time . before many of them reach home, sweet home. & Line of Formation.

J., is sweeping down the street led by a file of, riflemen and with the crowds in the grandstand on their feet for the first time as a mark of special honor. Huszar Uniform Cheered. Gorgeous as the earlier patrols may have appeared, none eclipseq the mounted guards of Salaam, who are riding past one hundred strong. wearing the uniform of the Austrian huzzar—crimson, blue and white. Here comes old Tut himself, the tallest man in the whole parade, guiding the pilgrims of Jaffa Temple of Altoona, Pa. Of all the gorgeous uniforms that have passed by the thousands, his is the most resplend- ent. It is a flowing arrangement of crimson, too ancient to describe, but topped by a turban of brilliant red. Trenton with one of the largest delegations of the day, is now the center of attraction. Its band, patrol and guard, wearing identical uni- forms, they present a most pleasing appearance. Thoughts of cool mint juleps come to mind as El Shasa Temple of Ash- land, Ky., step by, with a typical old Kentucky colonel in their midst, and parched throats of the thirsty crowd fairly cry out for rclie Carry Parasols. Well, now that everybody else has tried everything else, El Paso ls ra- rading down the street, its nobles wearing the colorful costume of thc Mexican, from flapping sombrero to rainbow sashes and shiek-shaped trousers, and right back of theth the most sensible men in line, for each carries a tremendous red parasol to protect him from the sun and, inci- dentaliy, advertise the fact that he comes from Abu Bekr Temple of Sioux City, Iowa. Now, Al Azhar of Calgary, Canada, are turning past the reviewing stand playing either *God Save the King"” or “My Country Tis of Thee,” nobody knows which, for both have the same tune. Grab your pocket books, for here comes old Ali Baba, himself, chief- tain of the forty thieves, scimitar and all, marching at the head of Orak Temple of Hammond, Ind. Still They Com For more than two hours the most astounding procession _ that ever marched through Washington has been passing through the Garden of Allah. Still it comes. Every color known, every combination human fmagination could think up has passed and apparently there is no end, nor has one band marched past before strains of another is heard from just around the Treasury. It seems that all of the legions of the far east have mrached down Pennsylvania avenue and melted back into plain, ordinary Americans and Shriners merely out for a good time the minute they rounded Wash- ington Circle. * Fust as the perspiring crowd thinks it has seen everything it is possible to see along comes Bedouin Temple of Musk Okla., with the “vamp” of.the whole! a veiled Shriner Kansas City, Mo, 103 men: Al Kader, i Portland, Oreg., 127 men; Al Malaikah, Los Angeles, Calif., 120 men; Morocco, Jacksonville, Fla. 73 men; El Riad, Sioux Falls, S.

President Harding’s addre: come to the Imperial Council, which followed four other addre: ot greeting, was responded to by the imperlal potentate, James S. McCand- less of Aloha Temple, Honolulu. The other welcoming addresses of the day were delivered by the potentate of Almas Temple, Leonard P. Steuart; the president of the Board of District Commissioners, Cuno H. Rudolph; grand commander of the Scottis Rite, southern jyrisdiction, John H. Cowles. Music for the morning was fur- nished by the Almas Temple band, the Almas Temple Glee Club, and Aladdin Temple chanters. The invocation was delivered by Rev. John C. Palmer, a noble of Almas Temple, and a recitation, “The Star Spangled Banner, was eloguently given by Noble Charles B. Hanford of Almas Temple. Potentate Steuart Presides. Leonard P. Steuart, potentate of Almas Temple, presiding officer of the occasion, opened the welcoming addresses of the day by bidding the assembled nobility “io a feast of good cheer, seasoned with all the sweet things of our national life.” Pitching the tuhe of his addres in a national key, the potentate stressed the fact that Washington was the city of all America. Referring to the gigantic parade of the morning, Potentate Steuart de- clared the scene “we have just wit- nessed of the phalanxes ~of our nobility from every section of our beloved country in splendor and marshal array marching up the his- toric avenue, which to us is the road to Mecca, must in the order of the divine plan be known to those pro- jectors of brotherhood in the wilder- ness who_are camping in the sweet fields of Elysium. “A monopoly of patriotism we claim not; we merely represent that vast mass of Americans in every hamlet and city, and every countryside from the Atlantic to the Pacific, who would like to gather with us today under the folds of the flag, but who never- theless are with us in spirit under the folds of that flag big enough today to take in on this occasion our brethren of Canada and the land of Montéjean. Heartfelt Welcome. “We of the Mystic Shrine, in Almas Temple, live our lives, day by day. in the shadow of the institutions the government of this free people has bullded up. Our hearts, our hopes, of wel- {our ambitions and our lives have been devoted to preparing a welcome to you for a year, that would in some of veneration and love for your na- tional city which we are honored to call home, The treasures and the tra- ditions of our beloved government go With our hospitality; our friendship and fraternal hearts are yours, and our labors we shall count fully suc- cessful it at the end of our program you shall depart inspired by a mew zeal dear to every heart. “Almas Temple welcomes you to & feast of good cheer, seasoned with all the sweet things of our national life. Our nobles are to a man your hosts. You are to know the truth in the colors of the Shrine, as Almas Temple conceives. it. and yol are to bear it home to enrich the lives of those with whom you come in contact. “Friends and nobles, the glittering raiment of your National Capital will pass away, but the truth will abide, and that truth which Almas Temple speaks to you is this. God bless the fag.” Commissioner Rudolph Speaks. Cuno H. Rudolph, president of the board of Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, told the nobility Washington “is the nation’s city and the civic symbol of the nation’s pres- tige.” “It is your city,” he said, “as well as ours, and should be equally the object of your pride and concern. The Commissioners, sald Mr. Ru- dolph, had greeted many organiza- tions, “but toward none of them have they been moved with a more cordial feeling of welcome than that which they entertain for the officialy and members of the Mystic Shrine. “We hail your visit to the Nation' capital in the spirit of human fellow- ship and personal hospitality, in which the entire community joins.” “The National City.” Referring to the development of the city, the Commissioner said it was “the national city, whose development has been and will continue to be com- mensurate with and symbolical of the natlon’s power and glory—a power and prestige which will last so long as we are mindful of our duty to and reliance upon the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, and observant of his laws.’ “You will note in front of the Dis- trict bullding a bronze statue of Gov. Alexander R. Shepherd, to whose civic zeal and energy the first comprehen- sive movement for giving practical effect to the majestic ideals of the designers of Washington was due” Mr. Rudolph continued. “As Petrarch retrieved from the dust of centuries the literary gems of the ancients and gave to the world an appreclation of thelr inestimable worth, so Shepherd developed in material beauty the civic plan of Washington which, through the limited financial resources of 3 government, had lain dormant since its preparation. “The torch of progress which fell from Shepherd's stalwart hands has since been worthily borne aloft by his successors in municipal control, in which they have had the sympas- thetic support of our presidents; the generous and judicious co-operation of Congress; the skilled mervices of the officers of the Engineer Corps of the Army on local engineering duty here, and the enterprising interest of the community at larg “The development of Washington has been and will continue to be commensurate with the moral and material advancement of the nation. This is the nation's city and the civio symbol of the natlon's prestige. It is vour city as well as ours and should be equally the object of your pride apd concern. “We bid you a cordial welcome to it and will do our utmost to the end that you may carry away with you only “the happlest recollections of your stay among us.” “Air Ferry Trip” Open to Nobles Craving Novelty Noble, if you find* 1t too hot on the ground or want to see how the city looks from the air, step over to Bolling Field and the national advisory committee for aeronaut- ics there will extend you a cordlal welcome to take a “hop” in its new “air ferry This airplane was flown up to Bolling from Langley Field and will be available to Shriners who want to make fiights during the week.

Snapshots in Garden of Allah Secretary Denby, “devil-dog,” of the Navy Department, exemplified that many are called, but few are chosen, when, with his son, Edwin, Jr., took a seat in the rear of the President's stand. Repeatedly the ushers who* recognized him, distin- guished among the cabinet members by wearing a red fez, repeatedly en- deavored to persuade the Secretary to take a front seat with other mem- bers of the cabinet. Secretary Denb. however, had given up his two sea in the front row to Mrs. Denby and their daughter, Marlan. e Among the earliest to take a seat In the front row of the President's tand were Secretary and Mrs. Wal- lace, who sat at the left of the Presi- dent. Secretary Wallace was prompt- ly recognized by passing Shriners from Iowa, who cheered him lustil Secretary Work of the Interior De- partment, accompanied by Mrs. Work, sat next to Mrs. Denby and her daughter in_the front row at the Fresident’'s right. Secretary “of Labor Davis was an early arrival and chatted with Sec- retary and Mrs. Wallace. Misses Mary and Ruth Wallace were among the early arrivals and visited with others prominent in the younger social set until the President's en- trance. Commissioner and Mrs. Rudolph were seated in th the President’s lefl.s Seccnairowiac The ushers Temple in the stand were Col. representing Almas President's reviewing owar Embrey of the High School Cadets and Maj.

Secretary Weeks drew a big cheer from the crowd, especially from a big Massachusetts contingent which hap- Pened 1o be passing when he entered e stand dressed in pin-stripe outing flannel. T Sl Workmen from the office of public bulldings and grounds spent the en- tire night, under the direction of Lieut. Col’ C. O. Sherrill, in putting the finishing touches on the Pres dent's stand. Everything was com- leted before 9 o'clock today, includ- ng the placement of many palms and baskets of cut flowers along the front of the reviewing stand, except to bring in chairs for the President’s immediate party. Eighteen _gilt chairs with old gold velvet cushions were brought from the White House for the comfort of the President's versonal guest; A company of the immaculately uni- formed marines, carrying rifles with bayonets fixed, startled the guards of Aliah and handled the thousands of spectators who hurried through its portals in such an efficient manner that not once was there the slightest confusion. By 9:30 the stands were three-quarters filied and long before the approaching parade was heard in the distance every seat was filled by an expectant man, woman or child During the long, hot wait before the Ppageant started its journey through Mecca's most hallowed spot, wander- ing bands of Shrine minstrels and funmakers provided ample entertain- ment.

It embraces millions of our men and women, and a hundred frater- nal organizations extend their in- fluence into more than a third of American _homes and make ours a better republic for their influ- ence. Fraternity Inherent. Fraternity is inheremt in man; it is manifest in the beasts of the flelds and the birds of the air. It is our obligation to make the most_of it for human betterment. It more than enters our daily life and ministers ten thousand daily charities and fraternal reliefs. In the lodgeroom there is molded what becomes public opinion and contributes to the moving forces of developing civilization. It matters not what is said of human selfishness; it matters not what seeming lack of sympahty and fellowship is sometimes en- countered, every man worth while has in him the yearning to be worthwhile, to do that which gives him title to the activities of human brotherhood. It is the business of organized fraternalism to turn these natural traits to high- est helpfulness. In every worthy order the principles of civil and religious liberty, justice and equal- ity are taught in lectures and ob- ligation. A respect for the rights of others, the very essence of fraternity, is stressed everywhere, until the rule of justice is the guaranty of rightéous fraternal Telationship. Fraternity of Natlons. 1 wish somehow we could have fraternity among nations, &s it is taught in America among men. I do not mean to employ sign. grip and password, which afford an ap- pealing mystery to our relation- ship, but the insistent demand for just dealing, the respect of right of others and the ideals of broth- erhood recited in the golden rule and the righteous fellow rela- tionship which every man knows his God approves. Under such a reign of fraternity cruel human Warfare will never come again. T like the highly purposed fra- ternity, because it is our assur- ance against menacing organiza- tion. In the very naturalness of assoctation men band together for mischief, to exert misguided zeal, to vent unreasoning malice, to undermine our institutions. This isn't fraternity—this is conspir- acy. This isn't associated uplift, it is organized destruction. This is not brotherhood, it is the dis- cord of disloyalty and a danger to the republic. But so long as twenty millions of Americans are teaching loyalty to the flag the cherishment of our inherited in- stitutions and due regard for con- stitutional authority and the love of liberty under the law we may be assured the future is secure. There is no misconstruing the aims and purposes of our loftier American fraternaliem. For the great brotherhood there is the pa- triotic appraisal of the heritage of the rapublic. Here is representa- tive democracy, wrought in sacri- fice and toll, amid liberty's highest aspirations, and no force or vio- lence, no alien purpose, no social madness shall be permitted to de- stroy it. Soul of Masonry. I think I know the very soul of ‘Masonry, out of which the Shrine has come to lighten our burdens and add cheer to our daily lives. There is both quantity and quality in the nobility of the Shrine. It is + more than a mere Masonic play- ground. Conceived in cheer, the order hungered for more than play, tnough we need more of play in ur daily lives. O4F Sraved to be helpful, and it is low in noble achievement. Its initiates have been schooled in pa- triotism and welcomed new com- mitment to home and country. I like to think there is special sig- nificance that this year the Im« perlal Council has come to Wash- ington, bringing the Shrine to the monumental shrine of the great father of the nation, to pledse afresh love for the republic, loy- alty to its institutlons and an exalted brotherhood for those who consecrate life and sscred.honor 1o with a shimmying doll. To the accom= paniment of banjo, mouth organs and accordion, the quartet sang some real honest-to'goodness jazz music and had its little doll shimmying up and down the street. In front of President Harding's pri- vate section they carried on for five or ten minutes, ‘while the diplomatic and especially honared guests fairly shook with laughter. Noble John Pershing, sometimes known as general, was a_member of the presidential party in the review- ing stand. He was accompanied by his son Warren It was within a very few minutes before the time sct f r the grand re- view today that President Harding received the fez he wore throughout the parade and which he will wear on other occasions during the week, ‘and it was due only to the resource- fulness of Almas Temp.e of this city that it arrived in time. Aladdin Temple of Columbus, Ohio, of which the executive is a member, was to have brought a specially made fez with it, but during the hurry and bustle before leaving for the capital it was forgotten Noble Gus Cook treasurer of the local § no- ticed the gloom cast over bril liantly arrayed aggregation from Co- lumbus when it arrived here yester- day afterncon, and when he was told of the forgotten headpiece he at once dispatched a messenger to New York, where a fez was obtained and properly lettered and otherwise adorned In time for the messenger to board the midnight sleeper back to Washington. The latter was met at Union station early this morning by Noble Cook and hurried to the White House. The g00d news was soon flashed to the headquarters of Aladdin Temple. and the nobles of that outfit are happy again and are loud in their praise for Almas. In the President’'s immediate party were only Mrs. Harding, secretary and Mrs. Geo. R. Christian, Gen. John Pershing, Col. C. O rrill. military aide, and Commander Adolphus An- drew naval aide The' President and secratary Chris- tian were attired in white and wore a fez of Alladin Temple. Mrs. Hard- ing was becomingly dressed in a lght material of the so-called King Tut design and wore a straw hot of the now famous “Mrs. Harding Blue.” Mrs. Christian was attired in a dress of soft material of a light green shade and wore a straw picture hat of vellow eolor. Gen. Pershing was in khakf uni- form and did not wear his Almas fez. Secretary Denby was not far distant from the President and made & striking picture with his fez upon his head. The President and Mrs. Harding and their party arose from thelr chairs to ealute the colors as they passed by, but after repeating this performance once gr tivice the Pres dent and other members of the party remained standing and were kept busy returning salaams .and other salutations of the passing nobles. About three-fourths of an hour after the start of the parade, Imperial Potentate McCandless and Potentate Steuart of Washington and their re- spective parties joined the presiden- tial party in the grandstand Mr. McCandless was seated at the President’s right, and Mrs. McCandless and Mrs. Steuart occupied seats at Mrs. Harding's left. Just to the rear of the President Conrad Dykeman of Brooklyn, who is to be the next im- perial potentate, and Potentate Steuart occupied seats, next to Sec- retary Christian. Others {n the party were” John McGilviey of 8an Fran- cisco, chief aide to the imperfal po- tentate: Arthur E. Cook of the execu- tive committee of Almas, and John Q. Slye, chief aide to Potentate Steuart The President and Mr. McCandless enjoved music Syria Templa of Pitts h as it passed them, and enthusiastically applauded the marches of that organization. Dr. Charles E. Sawyer, the White House phy ian, with Mrs. Sawyer. occupied seats not far distant from those of the President and Mrs. Hard- ing. The doctor wore his fez and was an interested spectator through- out President Harding. dressed in white flannels and wearing an un- usually red vest, stood and saluted |as Almas Temple. leading the parade, came in front of the reviewing stand. |He stood while Almas Temple | marched rast and responded indi- vidually to the salutations of a num- | ber of personal friends in the march- |08 column. | Brig. Gen. Sawver, the President's | personal physician, was in close at- | tendance, as he usually is, upon the ipregflemlal party | Capt. Colin E. E. Flather, who was in personal charge of the police in | the Garden of Allah, was kept busy | keeping serenaders and others who wished to pay personal respects to the President or cabinet members | from loitering in front of the review- ing stand. The crowd In the stands on both sides of the Avenue were much amused when Capt. Flather endeav- ored to get a group of serenaders |from Syrian Temple, Cincinnati, to |move along. This group, which in- |cluded” an accordion, banjo, mouth |organs, megaphone and a shimmy |doll, gave a war dance, surrounding | Capt. Flather, and gave him a per- |sonal serenade as they marched out of the Garden of Allah. A magnificent bouquet of American beauty roses was presented to Mrs. Harding on behalf of Zamara Temple of- Birmingham, Ala., by G. Rotholz, chairman of the glad-hand committee. | Maj. F. S. Besson, acting Engineer | Commissioner of the District, was | seated with Commissioner Rudolph at the left of the President. In order to provide the greatest |safeguard for those occupying the President’s reviewing stand, a line of hose was run from a hydrant near the executive mansion across the lawn to the reviewing stand. The ice water carrier to the presi- dential boX was kept busy. A two- quart pitcher made four trips back |and forth between the White House pantry and the executive box to quench the thirst of Its distinguish- ed occupants. The President's attire was set off in true Shrine fashion by & red, green and yellow striped necktle, which was_‘commented upon quite frequently by members of his cab- inet and other close friends who greeted him at times during the parade. The music and clowns of the Bag- dad Temple cf Butte, Mont., brought applause from the presidential box and the antics of the four comedians in the outfit caused the President to smile broadly. Cases of heat exhaustion kept doc- tors busy at the emergency station at 3d street and Pennsylvania ave- nue. In addition to Mrs. Anna TRomas, the first victim to be taken to the hospital, at 10:30, the fol- lowing persons were ovércome by the heat and treated by doctors: Naomi Matthews, twelve years old, 1870 C street southeast; Edwin Marques, ten years old, 1329 T7th street northwest. and Mrs. C. Har- rington_of 237 C street northeast. The Matthews child was taken by her father, George Matthews, to a nearby hotel, where she had so far re- covered as not to nced the services of the Casualty ambulance when it arrived at 11:30 o'clock. The Marques boy was able to go to his home shortly after he was over- come. Speaker and Mrs. Frederic H. Gillett occupled seats well to the front of the reviewing stand, where they were signaled out by the large Massachu- setts contingent, which cheered them as they passed through the Garden of Allah. Joseph P. Tumulty, former secretary to former President Wilson, looked quite at home as he sat within the precincts reserved for the presidential party in the reviewing stand, from which place he saluted many friends as they passed by on the Avenu A. D. Lasker, chairman of the Ship- ping Board, and William Mooney, the | Washington city postmaster, had seats in ghe-fronteof -Presidents. I eyt
