SCOTTISH HITE ; WILL INITIATE BIGGEST CLASS Masons Will Confer Higher Degrees at Ceremonies Late This Month. Ttie sixty-second semi-annual invocation of the Scottish Rite bodies of the valley of Indianapolis is assured of the largest class of candidates for final initiatory ceremonies in recent years. Books were closed Wednesday night for the taking of the degrees, which will end with the convocation banquet Friday, Dec. 2. Both the first and second sections of the class will participate. Results from regional meetings and other efforts of the State membership committee have been very gratifying, officers of the Rite say, They are pleased with the support shown for cathedral movement and the interest taken by master Masons. City Lodges High Though a high standard already has been reached in the exemplification of the higher degrees, and the records show that visits from supreme officers from earliest times have been followed by statements that the Indianapolis bodies stood high in the northern jurisdiction, the efforts to attain still greater distinction have never ceased. For the present high standard, credit must be given to Horace Mitchell, who for several years, has been “director of the work.” The conferring of degrees of the higher bodies is now made unusually attractive to the master Masons, eligible officers say. Candidates have marveled at the dramatic presentations of the ritual, the elaborate scenic effects, choir music, pipe organ and orchestra and the smoothness with which everything seems to go forward.

Carson, organist, and Earl R. .Cartwright, barytone soloist. Also included in the musical forces is the orchestra composed of members of the Rite which has provided music in some of thq degrees, at banquets and at social occasions for several years.

DOOR OPEN TO FOREIGN DUTY SERVICE MEN Eligibility of Veterans to Order Is Explained by Leader. Because many persons believe the Veterans of Foreign Wars to be an organization composed of foreigners, E. V. Butterfield, chaplain, today made public these facts relative to the history and purpose of the V. F. W. “The V. F. W. was organized in 1899 by veterans of the Spanish - American war who served in the Philippine Islands,” said Butterfield. “Soldiers who served in the Mexican War, Spanish-American War, Philippine uprisings, Nicaraugan disputes, Chinese fracas and the World War are eligible to membership. Part of the ritfoal reads ‘... only loyal service undet the Stars and Stripes, on foreign soil or in hostile waters will admit you to our fraternal circle.’ “The objects of the V. F. W„” Butterfield 6aid, “are fraternal, patriotic, historical and educational; to preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members; to assist worthy comrades: to preserve and perpetuate the memory and histoyr of our dead, and to assist their widows and orphans. “We try to maintain true allegiance to the Government of the United States, and fidelity to its constitution and laws; to foster true patriotism; to maintain and extend the Institutions of American freedom, and to preserve and defend the United States from all her enemies, whomsoever. “The Department of Indiana was established in 1920, and since that time has grown rapidly. Members of the organization all have undergone the same experience and the same hardships and therefore understand more fully the meaning of the word ‘comradeship.’ the word on which the ritual is based.” Butterfield said.

All Elks have a secret personal code number that they carry through life, and June relates that no one would take 13 until he mustered courage and selected it for himself. One of the leading .members at that time and later grand exalted ruler was Thomas E. Harrett, who later became dramatic editor of the St. Louis Republican.
