Ll trolley subsidiary, | 0 ~ MYSTIC SHRINER CARAVAN TO “JOURNEY TO OSWEGATCHIE More than 2,000 Mystic Shriners are expected to be in New London and Oswe- _gatchie on Aug. 20 for a ceremonial, a parade, a banquet and an entertainment, to be arranged for the nobles and for their women friends. The Shriners who will come are affiliated with Pyramid temple, Bridgeport, of the oasis of Con- necticut, and they will come from the southern part of the state. The tentative plans for the event pro- vide that officers of Pyramid temple are to. start from the Connecticut state line at Greenwich at § o'clock on the morning of Aug. 20, in automobiles, preceded by several motorcycle police, to clear the road, and followed by several automo- biles containing buglers, and then many automobiles with Shriners from various towns and cities through which the cara- van will pass. At each town and city Shriners will join the procession and by the time New Haven is reached it is ex- pected that there will be 2,000 nobles in the caravan, all wearing the fez. It is expected that the Shriners and the ladies will reach the Hotel Mohican at noon, and arranzements will be made to serve the ladies a luncheon. The Shriners will go direct to the state agmory, where the candidates will re- ceive ‘the degree and luncheon will be served at the armory to the nobles. Following the ceremontal at the armory a street parade will be neld. Following their luncheon at the hotel, the ladies will 2o to Oswegatchie by spe- cial trolleys and after the parade the nobles will join them. A tent will be| erected on the Miner lot at Oswegatchie, underneath which the bake will be served and possibly some circus stunts provided for_the benefit of the party. Following the bake, there will be water sports and a general good time. In the evening there will be dancing. Fully 75 candidates for the Shrine de- gree have already been obtained in New London and it is likely tha’ a number of candidates will be brought with the car- avan, these candidates being picked up en_route. The whole affair is particularly for the benefit of New London Shriners, most of whom are members of Pyramid temple of Bridgeport. H (‘.EORG"} SCOTT PURCHASER OF STAFFORD SPRINGS HOTEL George M.

Shouting and screaming, she flung herself at a shade covered glass window, crash- ing through and falling some 20 fest to the earth below.
