The Houston, Tex., Informer and the Fitsburgh Courier of last week published in full the lengthy official proclamation of Grand Chancellor Robert B. Barcus announcing that the Grand Jurisdiction of Ohio would be unable to continue its affiliation with the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E. A. and A., on account of the heavy taxation entailed in the effort to build a Pythian temple in Chicago, Ill., which would no scheme of rebuilding would be self-supporting, and which is now $335,000 in debt, with a receivership threatening.
Right on the heels of this comes the announcement that Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green has called a meeting of the Grand Chancellors in order to secure immediate funds to prevent the Western Iron Construction Co. from making application for a receivership for the building. Here is the copy of the letter:
Western Construction Co., Inc., 4906 North Clark Street Chicago, Oct. 8, 1929.
Mr. S. W. Green, 507 Temple Bldg., New Orleans, La. Dear Sir:
Dear Sir:
Upon my return to the city today I was much surprised to learn that we have received to date only a little over $17,000.00 of a total past due of $61,725.00.
We are being pushed and squeezed by our banks, who cannot see why a proper plan of financing was not done by you long ago in anticipation of this crisis.
The sum and substance of all this is: we want our money and want it at once, as we do not see why we should wait for the expiration date of your proclamation calling for this tax.
May we suggest that you call a meeting at once of all the Grand Chancellors, at which time they will be advised that a receivership for the building will be instituted unless each and every Grand Lodge comes to the immediate rescue of the Supreme Lodge and pay our money. Surely the Grand Chancellors confronted with the ignomy and financial loss of this project will find a way to meet at once the just obligations of the Knights of Pythias to us.
May I hear from you in a frank way upon my suggestion?
Yours very truly,
WESTERN IRON CONSTRUCTION CO.

The threat to suspend the Grand Lodge of North Carolina for its inability to pay the sum assessed against it was carried out under date of October 21, 1929. But this brought about an anomalous condition of affairs, for the Commissioner of Insurance of North Carolina took a hand and directed the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Inc., not to send any money out of the State to pay on this Pythian temple fund.
Should the Grand Lodge of North Carolina disregard this instruction, its license to do business in that State would be revoked.
The proclamation of Grand Chan-
cellor Robert B. Barcus is as follows:
Of the Grand Lodge, Knights of
Pythias of the State of Ohio,
N. A., S. A., E., A. A. and A.
October 19, 1929.
PROCLAMATION No. 3
To the Members of Subordinate
Lodges, Officers, Supreme Repre-
sentatives, District Deputy Grand
Chancellors of the Grand Lodge,
Knights of Pythias of the Juris-
diction of Ohio—Greetings:
Another New National Pythian Temple Tax of $1.00 per Member Enacted in August, 1929.
Proclamation Number Two, Series L, issued by the Supreme Chancellor under date of September 10, 1929, has been received by this office, announcing the fact that the Supreme Lodge has again, for the fourth time within the past ten years, levied another new tax of $1.00 per member against the members of the subordinate lodges for the purpose of raising money for the National Pythian Temple located in Chicago, Illinois.
This new tax is, also, called an emergency tax the same as the previous tax law, which was enacted in Chicago, Illinois, in 1927, because the Supreme Lodge officials and financiers who were in charge of the construction of the temple, in making their official reports to the Supreme Lodge, held in Indianapolis, Indiana, during August, 1929, stated that unless the new tax were enacted and the taxes collected thereunder, the National Pythian Temple would be thrown into the hands of a receiver with the consequence that with the consequence that because they reported that the Supreme Lodge was "broke," "defunct," "stranded," and practically "bank-runt."
Tax Provided at Atlantic City, New
Jersey, 125c per person, 25c per
person for Four Years.
The administration leaders of the Supreme Lodge proposed to the delegates at the Atlantic City session in August, 1919, that if they would provide a Pythian Temple tax of 256 per member, running for a period of four years, that sufficient money would be provided by such legislation to complete the National Pythian Temple in Chicago. more, they stated that there would be a taxation for the Supreme Lodge building purposes. There was some protest against this tax by Ohio and a few other jurisdictions, but the administration majority passed the law, and Ohio was able to collect a part of this tax and provided otherwise for the deficit and paid to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $1,213.50.
Tax Provided at New York Session in 1923, 25c Per Capita Tax to Run Indefinitely to Complete the Pythian Temple. The administration financiers two years later at the New York session during August, 1923, came forth and reported to the Supreme Lodge that they were mistaken when they stated two years ago that 25c per capita tax for four years, which was provided for at Atlantic City.

Ohio paid the full amount of this tax to the Supreme Lodge amounting to the sum of $5,267.02.
Ohio Unable to Collect Fythian Temple Taxes During the Last Ice Years, But Has Arranged to Make Money from Endowment Bodge Salary, and Endowment Funds.
This assessment of the Supreme Lodge for building purposes has driven ten subordinate lodges of this jurisdiction out of business, and at a time, too, when we had built up our membership to 7,107. This number has been reduced to about 4,000, which means that we have lost over 3,000 members by reason of the Supreme Lodge program of taxation for building purposes.
New Tax of $1.00 Provided at Indianapolis, Indiana, Session in 1929. Ohio Cannot Collect it and, Therefore, Cannot Pay It.
This new tax enacted by the administration leaders in Indianapolis, Indiana, session in 1929, to provide more funds for the National Pythian Temple in Chicago, after having assured the Supreme Lodge representatives and Grand Chancellors at Chicago in 1927 that no more taxes would be enacted, is a tax and a burden, which the grand jurisdiction of Ohio cannot stand, for the following reasons:
I. The obligation which this jurisdiction has assumed in order to purchase the State Pythian Temple located in Columbus, Ohio.
II. The obligation assumed by the Grand Lodge to provide and to maintain the State Home for the Aged and Infirm in Greene County near Xenia, Ohio.
III. The obligation imposed upon the Grand Lodge to replenish or to restore to the Endowment Treasury funds transferred from that department in order to pay the Supreme Lodge taxes so as to secure the payment of the claims to the widows and orphans of deceased members in this State.
IV. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to provide funds in order to pay to its officers their annual salaries, which has been impossible because of money taken from the Grand Lodge treasury in order to pay the National Pythian Temple taxes in Chicago, Illinois.
V. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to reimburse the supreme representatives for their expenses in representing the Grand Lodge at the Supreme Lodge sessions.
VI. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to pay to the Brigadier General of the Uniform Ranks of Ohio the amount of money to which he is entitled, but which has not been paid to him, because the money was used to assist in paying the Pythian Temple taxes to the Supreme Lodge.
VII. The obligation resting upon the Grand Lodge to make some substantial financial provision to assist the Uniform Ranks Department of Ohio.
Obio Will Not Further Violate State Laws Nor Laws of the Order To Be Admitted To Supreme Lodge Conventions.
Jersey, would be sufficient to complete the Pythian Temple. They, therefore, asked for legislation providing for a new tax of 25c per capita per year for that purpose, without specifying the number of years the same was to run, in order to avoid making the same mistake that they did two years previously by limiting the tax to four years only. The thought was, they said, that if sufficient money could be raised by this tax running only one or two years without specifying the number of years, that the tax would be discontinued, and the subordinate lodges would be relieved of any further taxation.
Ohio protested, together with a few other jurisdictions, against this tax, but the law was enacted, and Ohio was able to collect only a part of this tax, but made up the deficit from other funds and paid to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $4,786.20.
Tax Provided at Louisville, Kentucky Session in 1925, Four Years Taxes of 25c Per Member Required in Advance. The administration financiers at Louisville, Kentucky, session held in August, 1925, reported that if the delegates in that convention would enact another new tax law, providing for the collection of 25c per member per annum for four years in advance, that a sufficient amount of money would be realized therefrom to complete the National Pythian Temple, and that there would be no further taxation for this building.
Ohio and a few other States protested against this tax, as it was a scheme to provide a tax of 25c per capita for each member for a period of four years, but by law it was acted over our purpose. Ohio collected $10 of this tax, but made up the deficit from other funds and paid to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $5,666.02 for that purpose. Ten Provided at Chicago, Illinois
Tax Provided at Chicago, Illinois Session in 1927, $1.00 per Capita Tax Levied to Complete the National Pythian Temple in Chicago. The administration financiers again reported to the delegates at the session held in Chicago, Illinois, in August 1927, that they were mistaken again when they stated two years previous to this session that four years taxes at 25c per capita per member payable in advance would be sufficient amount of money to complete the National Pythian Temple. They demanded a new law to be passed, assessing the members of the subordinate lodges the sum of $1.00 per member, which they declared would provide all of the money that was necessary for completing the National Pythian Temple. Ohio together with a few other jurisdictions, again protested and opposed this tax, but the law was enacted under the administration leaders' orders over Ohio's protest. The Grand Lodge of Ohio made an effort to collect this tax from its members, but was only able to collect a part of the same and was compelled to make up the deficit from the Grand Lodge funds by depleting its treasury and made up the additional balance from the Endow-
It is in violation of the Grand
Lodge laws that any Endowment Funds collected from the subordinate lodges be used for any other purposes than that of payment of death claims and the operating expenses of that department.
The insurance laws for the State of Ohio restrict, or limit, the use of these funds for the payment of death claims, operating expenses, and to the acquiring of real estate necessary for the transaction of its business.
The Grand Lodge has acted with interest in the State Pythian Temple, located in Columbus, Ohio, as its home office and place in which its business is to be transacted. This is a safe investment.
Partial Payment of Taxes Will Not Do Any Good.
I had thought once to suggest to the Grand Lodge of Ohio that we might make an effort to request the Grand Lodge officers to donate their services to the Grand Lodge for the current year, so that their salaries might be again applied to the payment of the $1.10 tax to the Supreme Lodge for the National Pythian Temple. However, this would only man about $2,000.00, which would not be sufficient to pay the full amount of the taxes. Even if we could raise as much as $2,000.00 by this means, it would do the jurisdiction no good, because the Supreme Chancellor would not accord to Ohio its full rights and privileges, unless it paid the full amount of the taxes assessed.
There is a precedent for this statement for the reason that Ohio was unable to collect the tax levied at the Louisville, Kentucky, session in 1925, and was compelled to make arrangements to pay the same in three installments. Our first remittance was $2,500.00; the second was $2,000.00, and the third was $850.00, making a total of $3,550.00. Nevertheless, Ohio was refused the password and was, also, not allowed admission to the Supreme Lodge upon its arrival at the convention, until it paid interest upon the deferred payments amounting to $216.02. It, therefore, appears that any effort to pay a part of this tax would be folly unless the whole amount could be raised and paid.
Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House
Sold Inquired County Taxes
The Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House Building, built by funds raised by taxation of members, which cost approximately $500,000.00, and located at Hot Springs, Arkansas, was reported by the Supreme Chancellor at the Indianapolis, Indiana, session, held in August, 1929, to have been sold by the county treasurer for delinquent taxes amounting to the sum of $4,063.80. The administration financiers and leaders, when demanding tax legislation providing funds with which to erect and equip and furnish this building, assured the Supreme Lodge that the revenue accruing therefrom would not only make it self-sustaining, but that it would yield an annual profit, and that the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts, which had loaned to the Supreme Lodge money in the

DR.J.C.DELANO
Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and conclusion of the brain.
Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the brusied spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor.
With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair, and after experimenting for twenty-seven months Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a

certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoanut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success.
In Dr. Delano's research he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live.
Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will send his or her name and address to

ROCKEFELLER'S ABILITY. WISE FOX. IMPUDENT CRITICISM.
I have never believed in fortune teller, seer or prophet; the wise man is one able to profit by events after they happen.
John D. Rockefeller displayed ability not only in making money. When his stomach failed some years ago, he investigated the subject as he did an oil field, and made it funneled again to his advantage. The Rockefeller Foundation, his tribute to philanthropy, is as well managed as the Standard Oil Co. Although the disposition is not to think better of him, Mr. Rockefeller was once regarded as the world's greatest sinner. If he could be judged justly by some unknown power, I believe his rating, from the cradle to the grave, would be as high as that of any other man that ever lived, all because of his enormous common sense; his knowledge that honesty is the best policy.
Intelligence is merely that cunning exhibited by a fox; knowledge of traps, dogs, men, poison, inherited and acquired from long experience, and acquired celebrated as smartest of dumb brutes, is never prejudiced or fanatical; he is able to use every particle of sense he has.
If a fox encounters suspicious tracks, he doesn't stop to argue that he is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but makes off to safer territory. When a man encounters danger, he too frequently stops to argue about his rights, and

the danger overtakes him. A fox knows no heaven except hen roosts where there are neither dogs nor men; every fox is his own doctor, prescher, and philosopher, and never yet has there been a fox urging foxes and men to make up, and love each other. Foxes have become famous because they use all the intelligence they have, a good habit most men lack.
Constructive criticism is often great impudence. Here are our best men in transportation, finance, manufacturing, farming, mechanics, navigation, engineering, merchandising, and in all the other illigitimate activities of life. They have at least some well that countenance ranks in all essential respects. But there come a lot of palpable second raters who declare that everything has been done wrong. The bulk of these constructive critics are much like barbers talking about the money problems of the world, or tennis players discussing the problems of transportation.
LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED.
If a man harms himself in spite of repeated warnings easily understood, he is lacking in intelligence. I do not care how many powerful poems he may have written, or how many eloquent sermons he may have delivered; if he does not exercise ordinary practical sense and fairness in affairs most vital to him, he is not intelligent. Jean Jacques Rousseau is a famous man, but the private life of his private life proves it. A man's private life is the real testing ground. Lazarus is also a famous name, but the man failed so utterly we hear of him only to teach us charisma.

symphony orchestra music by radio as
part time entertainment for his guests.
At the suggestion of his honor guest,
the young radio magante, Cliff
decided to help the long-haired musi-
clans out. He perched on top of his
Silver radio, and took up the strains
with his "uke" wherever a jazz unce-
current seemed appropriate. All the
music must come from the same con-
fer of the room, he insisted, and hence
his unusual position for the performance.

Whenever a woman thinks that her husband is spending any part of his earnings on another woman, whether it is a lie or the truth, peace and harmony for that couple has "flown out of the window."
Some women are worried because they have gone as far as the laws of decency and indecency permit to attract certain men and there is no response from the male quarters. The trouble may be that the woman market is over-stocked.
Whenever you desire the separation of your son from your neighbor's daughter or vice versa, proceed to bring about the marriage of the two. Then that which attracts will repel. If you doubt it, look about you.
Colored folks, be particularly polite and obliging to white folks right through here now. If they want your support for any of their favorite candidates, they will be particularly polite and obliging to you, especially when they know it costs them nothing.
The conviction of Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, in the criminal division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Friday, October 25, 1929, by a jury will create but little surprise among those of us, who have followed the proceedings closely. It was really a verdict by direction of the Court itself.
The defendant had made a most favorable impression upon the country at large by his willingness to risk his life at the trial in a last vain effort to clear himself of the calumny that attached to the virulence of the indictment.
In directing his counsel to take no advantage of technicalities and even to wave his constitutional rights in the premises in order that the trial might proceed and be concluded, should he not be able to be present on account of his serious illness, which seriously threatened his life, he threw about himself a halo of light, which intensified the presumption that he was innocent.
The jury brought in a verdict of guilty with a recommendation of mercy. The latter plea may be disregarded by the Court. The feeling is that Fall has been persecuted and prosecuted enough. He can expect no favors from the higher courts for the reason that he had been practically adjudged guilty in this oil scandal business by language used in the Supreme Court of the United States in comment in other cases. Even in the United States Senate language was permitted and words uttered, which if known to have reached the jury would have urged and demanded a reversal of the findings of the latter body.
POLITICAL TRICKERY
Something of a sensation was caused this week by the last minute attempt to inject the race issue in this State contest for Governor, although both sides have professed to be disinterested in either the Negro or his vote. The Richmond, Va., News Leader of the 28th ult. carried the following news story:
A pamphlet containing a photograph of Oscar DePriest, Chicago Negro congressman, and his wife, and containing a series of newspaper clippings describing DePriest's recent activities in Virginia, Tennessee and elsewhere, remained in circulation in Richmond today with Henry W. Anderson, Republican leader, denouncing the pamphlet as containing false charges against the Republican party in Virginia, and with State Democratic headquarters disclaiming the anonymous document.
T. McCall Frazier, director of John Garland Pollard's campaign organization, wrote Mr. Anderson late yesterday that neither Mr. Pollard nor his headquarters are responsible for circulating the DePriest matter, and condemned Mr. Anderson for making public his letter of complaint without making public the reply of Mr. Pollard's headquarters to the Anderson letter.
Mr. Anderson read an open letter to Mr. Frazier protesting against the pamphlet in the course of an address at Clarendon last night. Meanwhile Mr. Frazier, learning of Mr. Anderson's speech, made public his reply to the Anderson complaint.
The pamphlet—an eight-page affair—contains the picture of DePriest and his wife and a series of clippings without comment. The front page of the pamphlet, which was in general circulation today in Richmond, points out that Dr. Brown, Republican candidate, and Mr. Anderson have been advocating a revision in the Virginia election laws, and that "Colonel Anderson has said that 'the iniquitous poll tax as a prerequisite to voting should be abolished.'" The headlines point out that "the poll tax requirement was put into the constitution to eliminate the Negro vote, and it is today the requirement which really eliminates them."
The conclusion expressed in the headlines of the material is, "Can white supremacy be preserved in Virginia if our election laws are liberalized to meet the views of Dr. Brown, the Republican candidate for governor, and Colonel Anderson, his chief supporter?" Mr. Frazier replied to Mr. Anderson's letter to Mr. Pollard immediately after it was delivered to him by messenger. Mr. Frazier said that he did not know Mr. Anderson's letter was an open letter, since there was nothing on it to indicate this. The Frazier letter was as follows: "Your letter dated October 28, addressed to Hon John Garland Pollard, has just been received at this office.
"Dr. Pollard is in Southwest Virginia and will not return to Richmond until Wednesday. It is for this reason that I am taking the liberty to advise you that Democratic headquarters has not printed nor distributed any circulars with reference to Oscar DePriest. No one connected with Democratic headquarters has had anything to do with the printing or distributing of any such circular as you describe.
"So far as I know, Dr. Pollard does not know of the existence of such a pamphlet as you mention and is no more responsible for its printing and distribution than is Dr Brown or his headquarters responsible for the printing and distribution of the circulars signed by Dabney Harrison, which is now being distributed by friends of the coalition candidates, and in which Dr. Pollard is shamefully slandered.
"You may be sure that when Dr. Pollard returns to the city Wednesday, he will reply to your letter." Mr. Anderson in his letter to Dr. Pollard charged that Democratic headquarters is responsible for distributing the pamphlet. The text of his letter follows: "There has just come to my attention a pamphlet being issued and distributed from your headquarters in Richmond containing a picture of Congressman DePriest, of Chicago, and his wife, together with an alleged account of her having been officially received at the White House and extracts from inflammatory speeches of DePriest. On the front page of this circular appears the following language: "Dr. Brown Republican candidate for governor; Colonel Anderson and the Republican platform upon which Brown is running demand a radical revision of our election laws, including the repeal of the requirement that a three-year poll tax must be paid as a prerequisite for voting."
"This statement is absolutely false. Since the Republican platform is printed and in possession of your headquarters, it must have been known to be false when issued. The only provision of the Republican platform on which Dr. Brown is running with reference to the election laws reads as follows:
"We agree with Thomas Jefferson that 'the will of the people is the only legitimate foundation for any government; to protect its free pression should be our first object.' We believe that the present election laws of this State are in conflict with this principle. We oppose any policy which would seek to reopen questions affecting the relations between various groups of our people long since and finally settled. Subject always to this condition, we favor the simplification of our election laws and the fair administration thereof so as to permit and encourage voting by those persons who are properly qualified and to prevent fraud or irregularities in the conduct of elections."
"In view of the use of my name in this statement, I desire to denounce the effort on the part of your headquarters to associate Dr. Brown and myself with DePriest as nothing less than infamous and as unworthy of a campaign conducted by Virginians. "I now desire to ask you:
1. Whether you authorized or approve the issue and circulation of this document from your headquarters.
2. Whether you authorized or approve the false statement referred to above as to the Republican platform on which Dr. Brown is running.
3. Whether you authorized or approve the outrageous attempt to associate Dr. Brown and myself with DePriest, a Negro congressman from Chicago, with whom we have nothing whatever to do.
"4. Whether you authorized or approve the effort made in this circular to drag into the campaign in Virginia the wife of the president of the United States because she discharged official acts required of her by her position in receiving the wives of all congressmen officially at the White House, knowing, as you do, that colored persons in official positions have been received at the White House by all administrations for the past fifty years, including those of President Cleveland and President Wilson, and that such official acts have no racial or personal significance whatever.
"President and Mrs. Hoover have been extremely considerate of Virginia in making their summer home in this State, and in their interest in the people in that locality, and I cannot believe that you as a man or a citizen of Virginia, a candidate for the high office of governor, approve of the action of your headquarters

in thus attempting to draw the wife of the president into the campaign in this manner. "5. In view of your statement in 1913 that the Negro question was out of politics and your statement in this campaign to the effect that you knew the Republicans would not undertake to disturb white supremacy in Virginia, I ask you if you approve of the effort to revive race prejudice in this State to the disadvantage of the people of both races, when you know that there is no disposition or intention on the part of any one to disturb the race question or to interfere with white supremacy.
"I have endeavored to treat you with fairness and consideration in the present campaign. When you called my attention to an error in stating your position, I promptly corrected that error as publicly as possible. I assumed that when you said at Williamsburg that you desired to avoid personalities in this campaign, and in effect that you desired to conduct the campaign as a controversy between gentlemen, that you meant it. This circular is not in keeping with that assurance.
"I shall be speaking every night this week and I do not wish to do your injustices in referring to this matter. I therefore, ask you to answer the above questions as promptly as possible, so that I may know whether this iniquitous conduct of your headquarters has your authority or approval. In the absence of any statement from you I must assume that the acts of your headquarters are by your authority and have your approval. Knowing you as I have done I dislike to think that this is true."
It seems that both of the parties to the controversy got "hot in the collar". Just what Congressman Oscar DePriest, a citizen of Illinois, has to do with the campaign in Virginia and just how white people alleged to be intelligent could be affected by such a far-flung effort to stir up race prejudice will also be a question. In the search for the "mystery stool-pigeon" who circulated this kind of eleventh hour trickery, it might be well to make an enquiry in the want columns of this same newspaper and those of with a suitable reward attached for the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch the name of the parties concerned. It may be that the circular or pamphlets were printed outside of this State and shipped here. The colored folks understand thoroughly the position of both of those Democratic Wings in this gubernatorial contest. One is about as friendly to the Negroes as the other. They are appealing to an element of white people, thousands of whom have an antipathy to the brother in black. They do not want to "shoo it away" for the reason that there are not enough Negro votes in sight to supply the deficiency.
In the meantime, both party managers have their "mouths watering" for the support of such Negroes as may appear upon the horizon with no "strings attached" for the votes that they control and can utilize at the critical moment. Selah.

TRUTH vs FICTION
I wonder if all of the beautiful, the true, the brave, the noble, the benevolent, the lovely in this world, exists only in fiction? I wonder if all that is hard, rasping, disappointing, tragic, hateful, belongs to the stern reality of this life?
What foolish questions!
Yet, the successful novel-writer of today finds success and approval of the masses, by writing a tangled web of intricate plot, and clothing it with verbiage as far removed from the real, as possible.
Yet, the successful novel approval of the masses, by plot, and clothing it with real as possible.
Take the characters in an country, community, or new form as the fiction-writer he scholar—the thinker—to put as the fiction-writer portrait.
Then, fiction as done today the author and publisher chain of circumstances.
I myself have written webs of intricacy. . . also. They have never been able place to sell!
Does this mean that true I answer—no. For the tray life in its real beauty, beautiful of creations; it the glorious reality. A tyro can a cheap chromo—a daub, uning.
My life—and yours—with page, scored with the sym the sonnet, the allelulia, the can arrange. And there a somebody comes who can the fabrication of today w life is earnest."
Take the characters in any good novel; set them free in any country, community, or neighborhood; they would never perform as the fiction-writer has made them do. I challenge the scholar—the thinker—to produce a personnel who would do as the fiction-writer portrays.
Then, fiction as done today, is not "true to life." It is what the author and publisher thinks should happen under the chain of circumstances.
I myself have written...written...and again written...webs of intricacy...absolutely true to life and character. They have never been acceptable—they were too common place to sell!
Does this mean that truth cannot get anywhere?
I answer—no. For the reason that, I am not able to portray life in its real beauty. Fine, pulsating life is the most beautiful of creations; it takes a master to depict it in its glorious reality. A tyro can exaggerate—can place before us a cheap chromo—a daub, unworthy the name of a great painting.
My life—and yours—with the ins and outs—each day a page, scored with the symphony, the miserere, the requiem, the sonnet, the alleluia, the dead march! Only the master can arrange. And there are no masters today. And when somebody comes who can do a symphony in real life, jazz, the fabrication of today will be swept away; "Life is real—life is earnest."

In addition to the above Scripture the following has been indicated for
study’ by the Lessons Committee: Isaiah 1136-10; 19:25-25;, Enhesians
4-6 13-19. In fact, the Bible is a Peace Book and reveals the only basis
{mutual understanding that will be effective in all cases. The boldness
ot the various writers is a marvel, No matter how distressing were present
convitions they, by faith and through divine revelation, declared that peace
fa! conditions would come, The boldest claim of all was that this peace
siould come about through the advent of the Prince of Peace.
Tt remains for the world to see how literally the prophecy of Jerusalem
rea peace center will be fulfilled, It must ‘have caused a gasp when Isaiah
j velaimed a highway uniting warlike Egyot and Assyria with, Jerusalery
«. route, Here were nations that were always at ‘variance and each was
Scriving for the possession of Palestine as the Key to the other, “A wonderful
portrayal of peace is given under the parable of beating the swords into
Plowshares aad the spears into pruning hooks, Up to this time nations had
‘been impoverished by the cost of war and they not thought of using
war-making materials for peaceful pursuits. The very idea of being @
Nalcnr of war methods was to be abandoned.
‘Paul advances the teaching ag he addresses the cultured and philosoph-
ical audience in Athens.” He sought to, impress them with the idea of the
brotherhood of mam’ through the Fatherhood of God. As sucti they should
rt lit menacing arms against each other, There is culture in the pursuits
[peace even more than in the conquests from wars. Manhood is advanced

NEW YORK—Made-in-America complexions, including the popular gypsy tan, are to be introduced on Calle Florida, the famous promenade of Buenos Ayres, at the Montevideo Casino, the Monte carlo of the western world, and all other show places in South America, as a result of the invasion of the southern republics by Mme. Helen Rubinstein, beauty specialist of New York, London and Establishment of an Argentine agency and the first shipment of lipsticks, eyebrow pencils, rouge, creams and powders for the donnas and sesortitas under the Southern Cross was announced in the semi-annual report of Helena Rubinstein, Inc.
Growing beauty consciousness in the sub-equatorial climes, due partly to the influence of tourists returning from Paris and New York, and partly to the increased standards of luxury claimed by South American women responsible for a new demand for ads to Venus' art, the report indicates. Until recently, the Argentine societies canhilie-like face, framed

It was of the Drake that Queen Maude of Romania with her entourage was officially entertained on her visit to Chicago. Lloyd George of England, President Coolidge, dozens of Europe's nobility and hundreds of America's great have made it their homes in its ten years of existence. Even the light bulb Bedford stones of the Drake's exterior seem to have a certain bleakness about them.

Two Great Football

Pat Page, in his fourth year as Indiana's football coach, and pupil of the famous Alonzo Stagg at the University of Chicago, already has produced such players as Chuck Bennett, all-western half-western guard; Clare Matthew, all-western center; and Bob Harrell, leading Big Ten punter for three years.
He follows in the footsteps of Coach Stagg, in his thirty-eighth football training season at Chicago, and developer of more football stars than have been produced by any other concord in history. In his sixty-fourth year, the oldest coach in the country, Stagg is as energetic and enthusiastic as ever.
Pat Page in three years brought Indiana from the cellar of the Big Ten to a position where it commands respect of the whole Western Conference.

the large oil companies, such as Sinclair and Standard, are constantly at work charting and interpreting underground conditions. Part of surface information is obtained from surface surveys, for outwelling of rock miles away from the well location you may have been bearing on the presence of finding oil on that location.
"Logs of drilling wells are carefully studied and elaborate records are kept of the varying depths at which certain earth strata are encountered. This information is frequently supplemented by the use of diamond drills in various sections of the country which bring up cores or samples of the underground formation. In spite of this vast amount of work, underground conditions are still far from being an open book as is proved by the fact that thousands of non-producing wells are drilled each year."
DEVIL-MAY-O

Second Instalment
At a party in Palm Beach given by Mr. Cooper Clary, Leen, an attorney, meets Lucy Harkness, known as Davil-May-Care because of her adventures. She is a graduate of the four she will attend, chosen is Lucy won by Tom Stevens, who has a great reputation as a successful businesswoman. She heart-touching Lucy they are going aboard his boat, the Minerva, and the accords in order not to be a "quitter." Asked if she is sorry that she had to leave, Lucy said, "that evidently Fate has arranged it. Tim threwups tells her to stop looking regrettely after Leon.
Now Go On With the Story
"Regrettably? I’ve never regretted anything, Tim. I do . . . whatever I do . . . because . . . it was ordained. Am I able to deflect the course of the universe? Then how can I defect myself? I’m a projectile, Tim, aimed by some force at some remote target." "Remote? Maybe not. Perhaps
"Remote? Maybe not. Perhaps I'm the target, Lucy," he suggested. She pursed her mouth. "hardly can say, I'm." "Why not?" he demanded. "I'm too good for you," she told him.
"Are you, by any chance, joking?" he inquired. "Are you, not?"
"Then you're just being rude?" "Truthful" is a pretier word." "Too good for me, eh?" he mased."Well, 'good' is a strange word. It's capable of a lot of translations. Too good for me? How about Leeson? Not too good for him?" "Why harp on him? I'd never met him until to-night," she said. The Minerva was one of the finest boats of its kind in Southern waters, and often though she'd seen the craft, Lucy Harkness gave a little nod of approbation to-night. The polished woodwork reflected the stars; the chairs cushioned wicker, gleamed lessly white; the enangy of the spot, boats on the canopy, aft looked, in this silver light, as though made of damask. And upon the table laid for two the Minerva's steward had expended not merely time but taste. "I always like you better when I come aboard the Minerva, Tim," she said. "So?" His voice was sullen.
"I think the Minerra, so clean and sweet, is your soul—when you were a tiny baby."
"How long have you been teaching Sunday-school?" he demanded.
She laughed.
"Fair enough! It isn't fair to reproach you about the present condition of your soul, is it, Tim? Not, while my own is in the condition it is. Well, I won't lecture you or abuse you any more to-night."
"You'll be nice!" he asked, again eager.
"As nice as possible. You won the race didn't you?"
"And you didn't really mind my foaming? You wanted me to win?" he demanded.
"I'm twenty-three, Tim. Old enough to realize that what we want we may not have what we get has been determined ago. You've got me, for sooner here. I've got you. Well, let's make the best of it."
"It could be a lovely best," he insinuated.
She shrugged.
"Maybe, I don't know. Fate hasn't taken me that far into her confidence."
"Could I show you?" he inquired.
"You mean . . . make love to me?"
She shook her head, "Fate has read me no riddles, Tim, but that . . . I don't need her assistance. Love can only be made when two engage in the pretty pastime. And I . . . shall never engage in that little game with you."
"Sure?"
She stared at him, taking no warning from his eagerness.
"Fos-o-lute, old thing." She straightened up in her chair. "Come let's drop nonsense, aid him." Be as nice as he was. But 'possible' ends at talk of flirtation and long before flirtation begins. Here, what's this?"
She leaped to her feet. The Minerva's lines had been cast off, and the propeller had begun to move. She ran to the low rail and stood poised upon it for a moment. But the stone pier was already twenty feet away.
"Well, for the love of Mike!" ejaculated Stevena. "Any one would think you thought I was about to kidnap you. Any objection to a spin down the lake, to give us an appetite for supper?"
"Well, we can leave Casa Clary at all, without offending our hostess. I don't suppose it much matters where we go."
"It looked as though you were afraid of me," stated Stevens.
"Desire must have had something to do with what it looked like, then" she retorted. "You like women to be afraid of you, don't you, Tim?" "I don't get you," he told her.
"The very evil of it is . . . you do get me . . . always. Isn't that true? I see through you so completely that . . . instead of being feared . . . you're a little bit afraid of me; eh, Tim?" "Little Miss Hate-Herself—that's
"Little Miss Hate-Herself--that's you, isn't it?" he jeered.
"You can't accuse me of vanity because I state that I can see through you, Tim. Most women can, and do. They don't tell you so, because you have money."
"I won't agree with you," he said.
"But if you can see through me, then you must know how much I . . . love

here with me to night: he cried.
"Because when I enter a game I play it. Pity you can't say as much. Tip."
"I think the Minerva, to clean and a tiny baby."
"How do you know I can't? How do you know... when I play a game, I don't... play it... all the way?" he demanded.
She laughed contemptuously.
"With women, you mean? But of course you mean that. It's the only game you know. But... you never played it with my kind of woman, because my kind don't play with you." "You're one that's going to go," he said flatly.
"Think so?" She shook her head again. "This is Mrs. Clary's game we're playing. The other game... I didn't enter."
"You didn't know you'd entered it" he contradicted. "but you have You're here, heard the Minerax. You'll damn good and ready to let you leaves net before. Now, do you play my game?"
Her eyes winked; her sweet mouth dripped with tears.
"I Fate intends, yes. But Fate has been so very kind to me, thus far, that I cannot believe it intends me any such trick as playing such a game with you. Tim. Ive come out with ven. Let's go back."
"It's come in again," he remarked grinily.
She remembered Modane, the *Mingrua* skipper. A rat-faced man, of inexact ancestry, a touch of the Levantine in his hooked nose. The men were ordinary sailors, and the domestic staff, so to speak, were Japs. No help from the latter was be forthcoming; it was not for them to interfere in the actions of the barbarians who employed them. The white sailors were crude, stupid men; and Modane was his master's man.
Wariness owned her; this situation, absurdly impossible though it might seem later when she narrated it, was definitely dangerous now. The extent of its danger depended entirely on the degree of manness which possessed Stevens.
"And it all leads to . . . what?" she asked.
"You'd keep your word. It leads to your promise to marry me. When I have that, I'll put you ashore."
"And as the months, or years, pass
bithelly by" she asked.
"I won't wait that long," he said. "Maybe, after a while, you'll ask me to marry you." "I can't this trifle too melodramatic, Tim? The ruined malden pleads with her despiler—" "The trouble with you, Lucy," he interrupted, "is that, with all your experience, you don't know men. Or you'd know that I mean what I say." "But why want a girl who has only contempt for you?" she asked. "Don't ask me! Why does the tide come in? You believe in Fate; you've so often enough, anyway, Well, you're my Fate, Lucy. God I haven't mentioned you to you, but if I had words to tell you . . . The very sight of you drives me crazy: the tones of your voice, the way you sometimes blink your eyes, as though you were a million miles away—Lucy, I've run around after you like a pet pup, for a year, and now—" "Now the mongrel bites, eh?" she interjected.
"He's only barking now/" he told her, "but he will bite."
She shook her head.
"No, I don't think so. He'll be afraid of the whip."

"Where you're concerned I don't totally don't give a damn! I thought that men who went blah over one particular woman were weak-kneed soft-heads. But I change my mind.

it's Lucy Harkness's face I see.
"A magazine, a newspaper supplement prints pictures of women and they're all photographs of you. Your name is in the headlines; it's on the signs along the road. I tell you, Lucy, this is real, this is honest-to-God. I've never told you, never asked you to merry me, but . . . you've known."
"Yes, I knew, of course," admitted.
He snatched at her admission.
"And you came here to-night—Lucy, why did you come? Was it because—"
"It was because, solely, you won the race. No other reason. I've never shirked an issue, never avoided a problem. Fate meant me to come here tonight. But I've told you this a dozen times."
"And don't you think that Fate also means us to care for each other?"
“I’ve answered that before, Tim, but I’ll answer it again. I’d rather be dead than let your hands rest upon me; I’d rather be dead and condemned to eternal hell than let you kiss me. Now, is the answer clear?”
Later, sheer, stark panic overwhelmed her. She was trapped, caught, at what mercy this beast, this madman, chose to extend to her.
And even as she recognized this fact a knock scounded upon the door.
Stevens's voice came through the panels. It held a quality of excitement that she had never noted in his toes before. It was almost as though he had been drinking heavily and was fighting hard not to show the effect of the liquor. Yet there had not been time, since she left him, for him to become intoxicated.
"Lucy, I want to talk to you," he said.
The maddest panic swept over her, obliterating sanity. The door was filmy, would give way, despite the bolt, at the least onslaught. Tim Stevens had dared plan an abduction and carry it through. He might not go to further lengths, but how could she tell? If she opened the door . . . if she failed to open the door and he crashed through it . . .
She would rather die than plead with Tim Stevens. She had never begged of any one in all her life; she would not begin now. Yet she could not fight; a screaming, scratching woman lost all dignity, confessed her weakness by her very defense. Panic passed; although her act was mad to the point of suicide, her actions were cool, delibrate. This was Devil-May-Care, who made her decisions on instant impulse, but who carried them through as calmly as though they had been thought over for months. She opened the port-hole—really a window—of her cabbin, and dived cleanly into the Gulf Stream.
She was conscious of no shock as she went below the gleaming waters. It was one of those nights when semi tropical Florida is really tropical, and the difference between the tempera ture of air and water was very slight. She didn't bother to swim beneath the surface for any appreciable distance.

Beauty and the Making of History
I think that most of us are inclined to consider beauty as a fragile immobile thing to be admired by those who stop to gaze. But history has disproved this erroneous impression more than once. Beautiful women, hidden from the eyes of the public, have had more influence on the history of the world than one realizes through reading the average history book. This was particularly true during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Wise and tried statesmen who could best their foes with learned words and strong arguments became helpless when faced with the lachrymose eyes of Marie Theresa and the enticing sophistication of Katrina. Of Marie Theresa it was said, "She weeps and weeps and takes and takes" . . presumably because the tears of a beautiful woman were irresistible to those hard-boiled politicians!

mentioned in recorded history. Yet, one may readily suspect that the intrigues of the time were ably assisted and furthered by her. Certainly, the wise men of France, realizing the weakness of man, did not overlook the presence of that Frenchwoman in the intimate circles which surrounded Friedrich. The European influence, at this time, was felt very strongly in that wild and mysterious place called America. That beautiful women played an important role in the early development of our country is an already established fact. Those were the days when beauty reigned and ruled.
Today women have the right to vote. They are actually elected to Parliament and to Congress. Yet it is doubtful whether they have any more power than they had in the days when they wielded their influence behind their feathered fans!

Have you noticed, of late, the vogue for gay quilts and comfortables? For years, in the artificiality of another age, the decorative possibilities of these pieces have seemed half-forgotten. Now suddenly—encouraged by today's demand for design and contrasting color—the they have come back into fashion again.
And so important is the subject that it has broken into print to tell its own fascinating story through the pages of a thick new book—"Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them"—in which the author gives not only a complete history of the quilt, but also describes 310 different patterns and illustrates many of them.
It is a book to intrigue every girl and woman who dreams of a beautiful home. And the story seems particularly apropos, since the gay, colorful patchwork theme with its geometric pattern is so thoroughly in harmony with the modern trend in home-furnishings.

MIAMI'S SKYLINE AS IT
APPEARS TODAY
City Officials Inaugurate Novel Plan in Northern Cities.
MIAMI. FLA.—Renting a Miami apartment house for the winter months from one's home in the North is the new plan of ex-Mayer E. G. Sewell of Miami. Already the plan is in force in over 300 large cities throughout the North. Winter visitors are calling on real estate agencies to study them they study the plans, photographs, locations and prices. It affords an immense protection and convenience to prospective winter visitors. Knives, table cloths, furniture, pictures, towels and even napkins are listed in the prospectus furnished the visitor.
The entire plan is under the supervision of the City Government of Miami which has signed an agreement with the apartment house owners stipulating that the prices must not be raised during the season. Prices of apartments have been brought to very low figures by cooperation of the city and apartment house owners in order to make the winter at Miami as cheap or cheaper than paying coal and doctor bills in the North. The plan is the first municipal project of its kind and resembles the purchase of a theatre ticket in a great city from one of a hundred agencies located at a distance from the theatre. The buyer looks the seating plan over, picks out his seats, pays for them and has nothing to worry about when he reaches the theatre. The Miami visitor does much the same under the Sewell plan and if he is not certain he will like his first choice he can reserve his decision until he reaches Miami.
In view of excellent prospects for a record winter season it is expected that the Sewell plan will come into high favor with Miami guests. Already representatives are being sent

Ohio and North Carolina Will Not Pay More Pythian Taxes
Continued from page 1
form of taxes, would be paid dividends and interest on the money invested in this enterprise.
The project has not only paid no dividends or interest, but for more than twenty-five years it has been operating at a momentous financial loss to the Supreme Lodge and the members of the order. Furthermore, the members of the subordinate lodges are being taxed now not only to pay current operating expenses of this enterprise, but, also, to pay to the county in which it is located taxes assessed against it.
The Supreme Chancellor occupies a position not only as a president of our national fraternal corporation, but also, as a member of the board of directors who guides its affairs.
He stated to the convention that he did not know that this property was advertised for sale for delinquent taxes, neither did he know that it had been sold until after the sale was consummated.
It so happened that the Grand
Lodge of Arkansas, the jurisdiction
in which the Fythian Sanitarium and
Bath House are located, in order to
save the property for the Supreme
Lodge, advanced the sum of $4,
063.80 and paid the county treasurer
the same, and thereby redeemed
the property for the time being.
Ohio and other jurisdictions have
lost several thousands of dollars,
which they have invested in this
building project, thinking that it was
a sound business investment, as it
was represented to be. This building
now is mortgaged or otherwise
incumbered to the extent of $200,
000.00.
The National Pythian Temple and
Bath House Are Approximately
$1,638,519.75 In Debt to Their
Creditors.
The Supreme Lodge is indebted to
the Grand Lodge, Grand Courts, sub-
ordinate lodges, and individual mem-
bors of the order for money, which
it has borrowed and delivered to
the Supreme Lodge under either bonds
or certificates of indebtedness, the
following sums:
Bonds..... $ 482,300.00
Notes Payable Out-
standing..... 234,579.75
Pythian Temple Certi-
ficates of Indebt-
..... 586,640.00
Total amount ..... $1,638,519.75
National Pythian Temple Delinquent
On Payment of Taxes to Cook
County.
Reports to the Secretary of the
Supreme Lodge Pythian Temple
Commission and the Supreme Master
of Exchequer did not disclose an
order or voucher showing that taxes
on the National Pythian Temple had
been paid to the treasurer of Cook
County for the past two years or
the present current year.
I made injury as to what would
be the amount of the taxes due to
the treasurer of Cook County, and
the answer was that no taxes had
been paid for the past two or three
years on this property.
I inquired as to the appraisal value of the temple as shown on the tax duplicate in the auditor's office, and I was advised that it was $1,000,-000.00. The tax rate on real estate in Cook County in that section is $4.85 per hundred, which would indicate that the amount of taxes per year against the Pythian Temple are about $48,500.00. If it be true that no taxes were paid for two years, they would amount to $97,000 against the property. If these taxes are not paid, it means penalties and interest and eventually advertisement for sale to pay the delinquent taxes just as the Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House were at Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Supreme Lodge Treasury Stranded.
Reports of the Master of Exchequer show that there was in the bank to the credit of the Supreme Lodge fund July 1, 1929, the sum of $182.29. The balance in the bank to the credit of the Endowment Funds, July 1, 1929, was $6,084.18. The balance in the bank to the credit of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium Fund, July 1, 1929, was $1,530.77, making a total of $7,781.10 in the treasury of the Supreme Lodge on that date. These figures were taken from the printed official reports of the Supreme Lodge officers and clare in clear and unappeasable terms in unburdent condition of our national organization.
Here we have with only a trifle over $7,000.00 in cash or liquid assets with debts and obligations against us of $1,638,519.75. In other words, we have over a million and a half dollars worth of obligations and burdens with only about $7,000.00 with which to lift them, which means that our national organization is on the rocks.
Grand Lodges Which Failed To Pay Pythian Temple Tax For the Last Three Years When Due.
The following Grand Lodges were not able to collect the Pythian Temple tax of $1.00 per member, which was assessed against the members in Chicago, Illinois, during August, 1927: District of Columbia, Arkansas, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Ohio.
The Grand Lodge of Ohio, although unable to collect all of this tax, arranged for the balance and paid the same to the Supreme Lodge. It was then permitted to take its seat in the convention held in Indianapolis, Indiana, in August, 1929.
spoken. Arkansas did not pay, but was given time in which to pay, and was seated in the convention. The same was true of South Caro-
lina, but it made a partial payment of $500.00 on the taxes.
Maryland finally presented a check for its taxes.
Delaware, the District of Columbia, and Virginia were absent from the convention.
North Carolina was present, but being unable to pay its tax, was denied a seat in the convention.
The Grand Lodge of Ohio has paid to the Supreme Lodge in full all National Pythian Temple taxes and other taxes assessed against it, but it can pay no more taxes in the future for National Pythian Temple purposes and survive and, also, meet its State obligations.
Ohio has already suspended eight guardrate lodges, which were unable to the Supreme Lodge National Pythian Temple taxes in addition to their other obligations, and there are several other delinquent lodges on our roster, which will be suspended inside of the next thirty days or more for this reason.
It is, therefore, apparent that the Grand Lodge of Ohio cannot collect these taxes and will not be able in the future to arrange for the payment of these taxes from any other funds or sources, and as for review, will be able to sit in more Supreme Lodge conventions. Supreme Lodge Jurisdiction Has Lost
Supreme Lodge Jurisdiction Has Lost Thousands of Members on Account of This Pythian Temple Tax. The committees which reported on the State of the order at the Chicago, Illinois, sessions held in 1927 showed that the supreme jurisdiction had lost over 13,000 members during that biennial term. The reports of the committees on the state of the order made in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1829, showed that the Supreme Lodge had lost 36,701 members during the last biennial term, which inward burdens for building purposes dicates that Supreme Lodge taxes are driving members out of the order by the thousands.
Administration Leaders Represented
That He Responded to the
Temple
That He Responded to the
The administration financiers have induced several Grand Lodges and Grand Courts as well as individual members of the order, as I have aforested, to buy interest bearing bonds issued and backed by the Supreme Lodge as sound investments, when as a matter of fact the Pythian Sanitarium and Bath House have been operating at a great financial loss to the order even since they were built.
The National Pythian Temple at Chicago, Illinois, at the present time is not fully occupied by tenants; it is said to be only two-thirds filled. The largest monthly revenue since it was dedicated was $1,183.00. If we concede that when it is fully tenanted the monthly revenue will amount to $3,000.00 a month, which would make $36,000.00 per year, that amount would fall far short of producing sufficient revenue to maintain the building, as this sum would not be enough to pay the taxes assessed against it.
The Supreme Lodge, therefore, has no revenue yield from either of these building enterprises with which to pay interest on the bonds or the principal when they become due. The Supreme Lodge financiers and leaders now, in order to provide revenue with which to pay interest on these bonds, and the contractors who constructed the building have sponsored a new law levying an assessment of $1.00 on each member for that purpose. It is, in fact, collecting money from several Grand Lodges to pay them interest already loaned to the Supreme Lodge. It is reported that when two or three grand jurisdictions, which had bought bonds from the Supreme Lodge, sent their interest coupons to it for payment, had then returned, because it had no money with which to pay them.
Ohio Must Build Itself Up Within.
We must, therefore, concentrate our efforts and strength in building up our membership and Endowment Department. We must aid our Uniform Rank for the state encampment.
For the present, we must abide our time.
The Grand Lodge membership of Ohio cannot bear any more taxation either to build, maintain, furnish, enlarge or improve the National Pythian Temple or Sanitarium and Bath House. The Grand Lodge has made strenuous efforts to exact and collect these taxes from its membership for the last ten successive years, and as a result thereof, our state organization is rapidly disintegrating, as we have lost more than 3,000 members and ten subordinate lodges. The Supreme Lodge taxation policy of erecting non-revenue sustaining buildings by taxing Grand and Subordinate Lodges and their membership, has headed the Order for the rocks and will eventually wreck it, unless the Pythians of Ohio assert their rights under its State's Charter to prevent it. The Ohio Fraternal laws are ample to safeguard and to protect every policyholder and property right of every member within this Grand Jurisdiction.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I, ROBERT B. BARCUS, Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the State of Ohio, have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of the State of Ohio to be affixed thereto.
DONE AT THE CITY OF COLUMBUS, OHIO, this 19th day of October, 1929.
