Diamond Jubilee to See Class of 250 Masons Inducted.
i By LEO DAUGHERTY It was 75 years ago that a small group of men met around the stove of an E. Washington St. drugstore
and determined to bring Scottish Rite Masonry to Indianapolis. The diamond jubilee of that event vill be celebrated by the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of FreemasonTy. for five days starting Monday. ‘The groundwork of that small group around the stove will be recalled and respected—but the celebration will be to the strains of the architectural symphony of the Scottish Rite Cathedral, the finest in the world dedicated to Scottish Rite exclusively. ~ While the history of the Rite in Indianapolis will be woven into the pageantry and events—the moving from one quarter to another, each one larger, and eventually into the N. Meridian St. Gothic structure— reunions of classes and the conferring of degrees will be featured.
Caleb Smith Was 1st Here
One of those whose memory will be honored most is Caleb B. Smith. He had resigned in 1863 as Secretary of the Interior under President .Lin-
5
| coln to become Federal Judge in
Indiana. He came here—the only
| Scottish Rite Mason in the Hoosier
capital. He helped the group in the drugstore petition the Grand Orient in Boston and achieved their purpose. Rooms were taken at Washington and Meridian Sts. for $300 a year. Then quarters were taken at Market and Delaware Sts. at a $1000 annual rental. A S. Pennsylvania St. site was next secured for a home. Flames destroyed the building in 1894 and plans were laid for a new temple on the site. It was completed in 1895. © The need of an even greater Cathedral was emphasized as early as 1904. Action. began in 1912 and 17 years later the present edifice was dedicated, its structure portraying in stone the symbolism of the ‘order, handed down in legend from King Solomon’s Temple on Mt. Moriah and perfected in modern Christian philosophy. 250 to Be Inducted
Degrees in the bodies which comprise the Scottish Rite—the ‘sunny hill tops in Masonry” in lodge language—will be conferred at the Cathedral daily. The class will number 250 or more. Bodies comprising the Rite in Indianapolis are the Adoniram Lodge of Perfection, Saraiah jouncil, Princes of Jerusalem; Indianapolis Chapter of the Rose Croix and the Indiana Sovereign Consistory. During the second, third and
{fourth days members of classes will
hold their reunions, returning as alumni do tp a college campus to mingle with classmates and learn where each is and what are the ac-
| tivities of each.
The speaker at a reception and dance for class candidates Monday night. will be Dr. John G. Benson. The speaker at a class reunion Tuesday will be J. Raymond Schultz. The speaker at Wednesday's session will be Arthur R. Baxter and on Thursday ‘Bishop Titus Lowe. The speaker at Friday night’s jubilée banquet will be Samuel G. Pettengill, South Bend, former Congressman. Distinguished guests at the banquet and other ceremonials will include John S. Wallace, New (Castle, Pa., deputy grand commandler of the supreme council; John R. Hunter, grandmaster of Indiana Masons, and many others.

"Miss Spirit America Sought as' Oomph’ Girl Rival
| WASHINGTON, March 29 (U.P). —The Rev. R. Anderson Jardine,
who defied the Church of England to marry the Duke of Windsor and Wallace w rfield Simpson, and who now seeks to “de-comph the oomph girls,” plans to select another candidate for “Miss Spiritual America.” The. winner, Dr. Jardine said} will star in a movie designed to. give American youth a new style of heroine-—“a spiritual girl who doesn’t smoke or drink, who goes to church and has a good home background.” “We have had ‘it’ girls and ‘glamour’ girls and ‘oomph’ girls— now. we are going to glorify the spiritual girl,” he said. With the selection of a “Miss Spiritual Washington,” she and the “Miss Spiritual Miami,” the Miss Spiritual Jacksonville,” and the “Miss | Spiritual Birmingham,” already chosen, will compete’ with eight others in New York next week for the “Miss Spiritual America” title. ? Dr. Jardine, who has been banned
the Episcopal church since the day he married the Duke and Duchess, has interviewed dozens of Washington “girls”—from 12 to 38 years of age—who wanted to find out if they had the “spiritual appeal” he seeks. “I know exactly the personality I'm looking for but I can’t quite describe it,” he said. “It’s something akin to beauty of the soul. It’s just there—and it’s bound to come out.” One local society woman insisted that he come to her home to interview her daughter because she “dislikes, public interviews.” A husband phoned to warn that his wife was on the way to apply for the title and to “please stop her.” Finally, an elderly woman appeared
who said she was an angel.
Dr. Jardine said he does rot want a professional actress for the title role of the picture, but predicted that the winner" “undoubtedly will go on-to become a Hollywood star.” Asked if the girl would . stay “spiritual” in the film capital, he replied: > “That would be up to her.” He said that a group of religious people has put up $100,000 to back the movie which is planned “to bring out in a delicate way the pit-
people.”
