The world-renowned Ring"lins broth
ers. who started their sawdust and t
tinsel career with a bottle of home
i-en'iered anglewotm oil, never as- !
sembled a circus parade, a peerless. J
perambulating pageant, to vie with
tnat which -Al Kader temple 01 Tne
Mystic Shrine sent shimmering and
laughing through Portland's streets
yesterday afternoon, an a preliminary
to the real circus in the armory,
where divers candidates, notable and
not so notable, underwent initiation.
As a. cirrus parade it was a bur
lesque, of course, but such a bur
lesque as only the funniest sort of
real jrood fellowship is capable of
evoking from greasepaint, "' bright
silks orlintinir scimitars, and merry
mimicry. And the presence of a I
sure-er.ouarh eircus, somewhere' near I
the city, furnished the spectacle with
some very, real lions and ponies and
monkeys.
Al Kader patrol band led the bril- j
liant spectacle, a long line of bright I
hued array, with detachments ana
bands irom Aim nempie, hh-whi., 4
ana r-l ivani lempie, punanc, uu
with Imperial Potentate W. Freeland
Kendrick of Lulu temple. Philadel
phia, smiling his greeting to the city
which is to play host to all shrine
dom in 1920.
Portland Like Pairaat.
Portland liked it. The pageant, on
its way from the courthouse to the
armory, where stretched the justly
celebrated burning sands, brought al-
moHt as many pedestrians to the edge
of the pavement and parked fully as
many autos as would the genuine ap
pearance of the most celebrated three
ring aggregation in tbe known world.
When the parade left its starting
point the lions, ladies all. and there
fore lionesses which is a mouthful
were placidly switching their tails in
the barred seclusion of their private
apartments. Three or four daring i
Shriners occupied the neat room I
with a comfortable partition between 1
trying to look as though they en-Joyed-the
experience.
Down the I:ne of march capered a
white donkey, throwing off clowns.
He frisked past the ambling cage.
Whereupon every lioness heard the
call of the wild, and arose with alac
rity. Half crouched they pressed
their shaggy muzzles to the bars and :
with delighted amber eyes watched
that potential afternoon luncheon go
pranking by. "One fe'lt sorry for the
prisoned queens of the African
jungle. One also felt that the don
key, clownish aa his would-be riders,
was playing in great luck. But the
preponderance of reflection rested
upon the questionable stability of
those bars. 1
Perfect Ladr Smoke Cigars
The lady lions shouldn't be fea
tured to the exclusion of the rest of
the pageant, however. For there was
a perfect lady, of the Laura Jean
Libby vogue, who rode by the side
of the imperial potentate and flipped :
kisses to her admirers. She was
reminiscent, perhaps, of Al Kader's
joyous dancing girls. She seemed
more to resemble Zubelda than she
did Fatlma. But at Broadway and
Alder, this is the fact, she accepted
and kindled a very black cigar and
puffed away with every evidence of
. gratification. j
Eight Bedouin horsemen rode along,
scimitars swinging at the pommels '
. very like a page from some Saharan i
: story, where the caravan is beleag- j
urea. They looked quite amiable a
: great deal more so than did the cage
. of howling Hottentots, or whatever 1
they were, who thrust their blackened j
. faces, nose ring, ear rings- and white I
teeth, forth to the delight of all be- i
. holders. When Nemo went into slum- ;
berland he had a wicked pal, maybe '
you recall him, who was a dead
"ringer" for these "birds." His name
was Flip. And these chaps were just
as flip as he was.
The crowds roared with laug-hter

wads of stage money on the scrapping
- proclivities of tne birds and cast them
'.to the street. The -birds '"hopped to

their owners retrieved them before
bloodshed befell and passed on with
the pageant.
' Frolic Is Oriental.
A Mexican bravo, with an enormous
" papier mache gamecock, a Kentuckv
planter or a Mississippi river card
sharp, any number of new wrinkles
' in clowns, ancient two-wheel hansom
cab bearing Shine royalty, an in
imitable country pair, more question
able beauties and other sprightly folk
from funnyland. were In the line of
laughter. And back of the frolic, a
perspective of color truly oriental,
were the uniformed patrols of the
three temples and hundreds of red
ressed marchers.
Imperial Potentate Kendrick rode
in a stage coach that could tell its
own tale of holdups and wild dashes
over the pass if its creaking old
tongue could apeak and that bore
04 Its weathered sides the legend
f noted express company, which
used to trust its gold and currency
to the mercies of the road agent with
a sawed-off shotgun aa a. corrective.
Anyway, from this point or that,
it was by far the most singular,
"plura, ne plus ulster" parade that
every graced the streets of Port
land with its progress. They say
that tbe 1920 convention will dim the
luster of yesterday's frolic, as the
rising sun sends the last pale star
scampering into infinitude. By gosh,
it'll have to go some!

Mrs. Hofmann in a gracious little
address welcomed the visitors cor

tality of the city and the west. She
then introduced Mrs. Kendrick,- who
replied courteously, saying she was
delighted with Oregon and the resi
dents of Portland. Arthur C. Callan
was called upon to express the wel
come of Al Kader and did so briefly
but sincerely and announced the sev
eral functions at which the women of
the party were to be entertained.
Covers were laid for about 60, in
cluding the wives of all the promi
nent officials and distinguished men
of the Shrine.
In the afternoon, after the women
had witnessed the parade in which
their husbands and friends marched
so gayly and with such dignity and
pomp, there was a reception in the
rose room of the Multnomah hotel at
which a large gathering of represen
tative women enjoyed the hospitality
of the local hostesses. An orchestra

glimpse of the city that proposes to
entertain the imperial council session
of 1922."
Olcott Speaks Briefly.
Speakers at the table Included
Kills Lewis GarrHson. deputy im
perial potentate; AV. S. Brown, im
perial treasurer, and Governor Olcott
spoke briefly as a representative of
he Initiates of the class. Mayor Baiter
told of his first meeting with the im
perial potentate when he visited Phil
adelphia in the interest of the cam
paign for Al Kader to secure the 1920
session, and related some intimate
ouches with the membership of Lu-
L.U temple that gave an insight into
the character and qualities of the
noble who for so long was at Us head,
and called from that duty to lead the
Shrfners of America.
Imperial Potentate Kendrick- com
plimented the Pacific coast member
ship on the splendid spirit of Ameri
canism that he found everywhere in
evidence and told, of the unity with
which the fraternal societies of Phila
delphia joined in patriotic service
during the war.. So fruitful of effi
ciency in meeting- requirements of the
government during the war did the
orsrsriiatton throve that it is contin
ued to pursue the course in peace
times.
He heartllv commended the spirit
of co-operative effort for the general
good of the community, state ana na
tion through puch an organization,
and Relieves that great good can come
to all of the societies that participate
in such endeavor.
Staglns Highly Effective.
Rarelv have pilgrims seeking ad
mission to the oasis of the shieks of
the Arabian desert, or sought audi
ence with the potentates who rule
over manv tribes, beheld scenes of
oriental splendor so alluring as that
which greeted the novices at the put)
lie auditorium last night. The first
section of the ceremonial was put on
with artistic and mechanical effects
that made it a triumph of the stage
director's art and visiting potentates
declared it to have been one of the
finest portrayals of the part they
ever beheld.
The members of the class saw the
twinkling stars above their desert
camp fade into the softening light
of the early morning, the touch of
pink that soon gave way to brighter
hues and finally the flood of brilliant
sunshine of full day sweeping over
the plain.
In it were enacted all the scenes
of the gradual awakening of the
Bedouin band, the arousing of man
and beast to the realities of another
day. the milking of the camels and
bringing skins of water from the well.
And in the spectacle they found tne
lesson of the desert, for as 'one day
breaks 1n the soft beauty of the morn
ing, changes to the sultriness of noon-
ime and the whole earth swelters un 1
der the heat of the descending sun
that drops into cool, refreshing night.
so are all the days of time.
Beeens Degree Starts.
The conferring of the second sec
tion began at 8 P. M.. but with so
large a number to receive instruction
in the lessons of the koran, it was
after midnight before the final cur
tain fell. The attendance of nobles
of the mystic Bhrine, like the class,
was the largest in the history of Al
Kader. Tbe seating capacity or tne
main floor and first balconies was
taxed, while at all times there were
several hundred In the corridors and
wings.
Houris of the harem held the center
of the stage and Interest of the throng

ceremonies. Clever interpretations or
the oriental dances that have charmed
the occidental from the earliest times
were tripped.
Enthusiastic reception was accorded
the visiting officials of the imperial
council when they were escorted to
the stage and warmly welcomed by
Illustrious Potentate Hofmann. Im

been received a party of Indian braves
