from official automobiles either at

dwelling, visitors are bundled into
waiting, automobiles and - whisked
away to their temporary homes.
- The detailed . work of the housing
committee was carried on all day yea-l
teraay witnout the slightest hitch.
Al Kader nobles, assisted by a corps
of clerks and stenographers, were
very much on the job. and attended
to the housing wants ofjthe visitors
without" confusion. '
Assignments of hotel rooms were
made many weeks in advance, thus
making the allotment of rooms for
many of the temples simply a matter
of routine.
According to J. P. Jaeger, general
chairman of this committee, a suffi
cient number of rooms have been reg
istered with the committee to take
care of every visiting Shriner and
guest for the week. Those arriving
early will be accommodated in the
