THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO! WARNING |SSUED Speakers for Shrine Pageant BY SHRINE CHIEF Counsels Home Owners in Plea for Additional Room Registrations. Warning the public that unauthor- fzed persons and organizations are falsely representing themselves to be associated with the Shrine in pre- paring a list of rooms available for housing during the Imperial Shrine conclave here June 9 to 15, Robert P. Smith, director general of the Con- vention Committee, last night ex- plained that the only place such offi- cial registration is being made is in Almas Temple, 1315 K street. There, more than 6,000 Washing- ton home owners already have listed rooms with the Shrine Housing Com- mittee, but still more are needed, ac- cording to Stanley D. Willis, chair- man of that committee. Shrine Name Misused. In warning the public against un- authorized housing solicitors, Smith explained that the only persons mak- ing 1nvestigations for the Shrine of housing conditions carry official cre- dentials from him. These investiga- tors call only after rooms have been registered at the Housing Committee headquarters. Reports have reached him, Smith said, that householders were being annoyed by many persons using the Shrine name falsely in order to get a hearing at the doors of homes, for many purposes, includ- ing the sale of articles, books, odds and ends. “With the available hotel space, special trains which will be used as | homes during the convention and rooms in private homes, there is no| doubt as to the ability of Washington o take care of anything up to 150,000 visitors,” Smith said. “The only concern of the Housing Comnmittee is to get the rooms regis- tered early so that they may be as- Misses Couret Hubbard, Mary Convention June 9 to 15.

The two busiest spots in Shrine convention headquarters, Almas Tem- ple, are the ticket booth on the first floor, where seats for the Canzoneri- Klick fight are on sale, and the ticket desks on the third floor, where res- ervations for the grandstands are be- ing made. Daily requests from all points of the United States for both varities of tickets are keeping this | corps of stenographers busy. | Because of the increasing task con- fronting the various committees, it has been necessary to utilize all avail- able space in Almas Temple. Several | departments have been installed on the third floor, and practically all of the fourth floor has been given over to the Housing Committee and the executive secretary. An informa- tion booth has been established on the first floor, from which persons are directed to the offices they seek. In order that the Shriners who make their homes on Pullman cars| during the convention may have alr- conditioning and adequate light fa- cilities, the company is installing spe- clal electrical equipment at the Eck- ington yards of the Baltimore & Ohio and at the Pennsylvania tracks at Fourteenth and Water streets south- west, Four-and-a-half and D streets southwest, New Jersey avenue and I street southeast, Pennsylvania ave- nue and the Eastern Branch and at the Kenilworth yards. Amplification System Begun. ‘Work on the amplification system, which is being donated by the Gen- eral Motors Corporation to the Shrine, has been started by the Na- tional Electrical Supply Company, which has the contract. This ampli- | B fication system will be divided into segments, each of which can be sutomatically cut off from the bal- | &) ance of the system. This will enable the pageant, in presenting each scene, to concentrate each particular act 110 Record Until 10 P.M. Saturday. Highest, 70, 6 p.m. yesterday.

SAN PEDRO, Calif., May 18.—Gen. Evangelin: Cory Booth, international commander of the Salvation Army, came to the United States today bringing with her an enthusiastic be- lief that the world .s rapidly coming to recognize youth as the driving force behind its advancement. She landed here on the liner Mari- posa from Honolulu, on her trip | around the world. “Youth is moving, no doubt, into & new era,” said Comdr. Eva, as she | loves to be called. “Experience and | steadiness are being sacrificed for | energy and vision. “A good indication of the trend is shown in the fact that youth is rap- idly coming up in the Salvation Army and in America and other countries. | I welcome this and feel that the world in general should do likewise. “There is only one way to handle the situation. Youth wants an adult example to follow. Every adult should realize this obligation. He should do everything possible to help build up | the morale. That is part of the Sal- | vation Army's work. “But youth also wants a goal. That is the problem for the economic world and I am convinced business and the Government are constructively mov- ing along the right road.” Duststorm Is Worst.
