FIGHT MARKED CITY BIRTH OF K. OFF. LODGE First Two Argued Many Years Over Which Is Oldest; Strife Recalled. Before the Knights pf Pythias were fifteen minutes old in Indianapolis they had started a fight. The story of the argument is part of Pythian history here. Older members pride themselves on having known many charter members. The national organization was founded in Washington, Feb. 19, 1834, and the Marion Lodge No. 1 and Olive Branch Lodge No. 2 were founded in Indianapolis, July 12, 1869. Both lodges gathered twenty-one ! men together and held separate ses- I sions. They raced to sec which group would be instituted first. There is a certain point in the ritual which will fix definitely the exact time of a lodge's institution, and Marion Lodge claimed to have reached this point fifteen minutes before Olive Branch, and called it- 1 self "No. 1.” Fight Is Revived But Olive Branch made a counter j claim that it was instituted thirty j minutes before Marion Lodge. The fight for the honor grew and 1 diminished and then flared up again. Many times some old mem- j ber revived the war. The exact facts of the case never were known, and the incident has ceased to be a ‘'problem" and is now “just a good story that all Pythians know." The same year, three lodges were started in Ft. Wayne. Later, more were founded in Indianapolis and one in Richmond. From the original membership of twenty-one, the order has grown to have more than 58,000 Indiana members in 432 lodges. Subordinate lodges assets are fixed at $3,054,647. Grand lodge property is valued at $1,161,595.30, and the newly opened Pythian home at Lafayette is valued at $330,503.93. Democratic Principles' The national order has grown steadily since 1864. “The Knights of Pythias is a social fraternity. Its principles are based on the story of Damon and Pythias," says Harry M. Love, supreme keeper of records and seals. “All of its influences are for morality, education and obedience to law. We discourage exclusiveness; we eliminate caste; we admit men oii the broad platform of good morals and right living; the son of toil stands the peer of fortune’s favored. learning the lesson that manhood is supreme." The order is comprehended in fifty-six grand lodges with about 6,500 subordinate lodges. The principal strength is in the United States, where there are forty-nine Rrand lodges and 6,300 subordinate lodges. Other lodges are in Canada, .Alaska, Canal Zone, Hawaii and the Philippines. Total assets are $35,000,000. Pythian Sisterhood Grows The Knights of Pythias is said to be the first order to exclude saloon keepers from the membership, and the first to rule that its ritual could be printed only in the English language. The two departments and two auxiliaries to the order are the insurance department, military department, Pythian Sisters and Knights of Khorassan. The insurance department is under direct control of the supreme lodge, and only members are eligible. More than $60,000,000 has been paid in claims since its organization, and it has more than $122,000,000 insurance in force. The military department is comtnonly known as the uniform rank end has a membership of more than 15,000. It is under the command of the supreme assembly and has a major-general commanding. Bright Future Seen Pythian Sisters number more than POO.OOO. Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan is the play ground of the order, and its members frequently are referred to as “sunshine boys.” ! It is governed by the Imperial Palace. Pythian homes are open in nineteen grand domains, and most of jjthe other domains are building or f Manning homes. The homes are , V alued at about $4,000,000 and house ( snore than 1,500 Pythian widows and - lorphans. In addition to other benevolences, the order spends about $2,000,000 a ;year for relief. The D. O. K. K. has R $60,000 educational fund which is toeing added to each year. “With a background such as the Knights of Pythias has enables us to forward work during 1928 in Indiana,” says Carl R. Mitchell, grand keeper of records and seals in Indiana. Invite Mason Official to Speak By Time* Speciol VALPARAISO. Ind.. Jan. 28 Mark L.

Teddies Bring Grief to I. U. Fraternity Pledge One night during rough initiation in a certain fraternity at Indiana University, the pledges were sent out to get articles almost impossible to obtain. The master of ceremonies was a hardboiled student in the law school. He told the shivering pledges what to get. One was told to “get the bottom of a row boat." Another: ‘/Ten horse-shoe nails." The last pledge was given the most difficult instructions: “Get three teddies." The boy could have brought back three toy teddy bears from a department store, but he couldn’t get in touch with the store owners at that late hour. So he took the next best but most difficult course. He called a sorority house. The coeds were willing to help out the pledge and loaned him three teddies. When the boys were reassembled, the master of ceremonies received each article for which the pledge had been sent. He picked up the three neatly folded teddie suits. A note fell to the floor. Thinking to embarrass the pledge, he read the note in a loud voice: "Please return these to Miss K M . Thank you." Mi SS k M was the “best girl" of the master of ceremonies.
