ity in San Anoino was brought to a
close Friday night with the cere-
monial session of Alzafar Temple

novices were transformed into no-
bles of the order closely followed
upon the tenth semi-annual reunion
of Scottish Rite bodies which began
Monday morning and concluded
Thursday afternoon.
The shrine program culminated
Friday night in the session at which
novices were admitted to mysteries
of the order after having been sub-
jected to ingenious preliminary tor-
ture. A feature of the initiation
was the afternoon parade in which
novices • guarded onions potatoss
and other foodstuffs that have come
to be associated with the high cost
of living.

I MEETING FOR TICKET
('all I^siioil for Naming of Men on
Bo?.rd of Education.
The call for a meeting to select
four men candidates to run for places
on the school board was issued Sat*
urday morning- This mass meeting
is to be held at Turner Hall next
Tuesday evening the call being
.signed by Graham Dowdell Perry J.
Lewis E. E. Hillje J. H. Kirkpat-
rick. C. Villemain Dr. Frank Pas-
chal Harry L Miller Henry P. Bur-
ney. S. B. Welhr D. H. Hunter E.
J. H. Meier ami Paul Steftler.
In the call which is addressed to
the citizens of San Antonio the
charge is made that the school board
is in grave danger of being dragged
into politics and the claim is made
that this movement is ».ree from
partisan bias.
The point is made that the new
charter of the school board stipu-
lates that there shall be three women
and four men as members. In <on-
tequence it is suggested that there
rhould be two separate columns one
for men and the other for women
and that the women of the city
should hold a convention or mass
meeting to select their representa-
tives. Following this idea it is pro-
: that this mass meeting shall
concern itself only with the selec-
tion of four men who will agree to
make the race.
