Such is part of the pre-conventlon

Ira F. Powers, chairman of
the auto 'committee, said last
night there was a serious short
age of automobiles for the Co
lumbia river highway trip to
morrow. He said:
"This is tho only opportunity
the uniformed organizations
will have to. make the highway
run and I urgently beg that at
least 10U0 automobiles be en

ber that all residents of Portland.
-. regardless of fraternal affiliations,
must regard themselves as members
of the entertainment committee.
Unsolicited Kindneaa Important. .
"Portlanders can do a great deal
'2 toward making the Shrine conven
'., tion an unqualified success. One of
the most important features of en
, tertalnment is the unsolicited and
unexpected acts of kindness, such as
picking up fezz-wearers in automo
. biles anywhere they are walking, es
peclally In the residential districts.
"Yesterday it was reported that
'""two visiting Shriners walked in the
' t Irvlngton district for a number of
,. blocks and 15 automobiles, some
bearing the insignia of the Shrine,
passed these two visitors, who were
wearing fezzes, and failed to offer
" them a ride.
"Such an incident merely demon
" strates that the average citizen has
not been impressed with the necessity
of showing -every bit of hospitallty
- possible. Don't let a visiting noble
or his wife walk a step if you can
-offer them a ride.
.j.i . "A larger crowd of Shriners than
was anticipated is coming to Port
.. land for this convention. Therefore
every committeeman and every res
dent must play an active part in en
..tertaining them.
. "It is of particular importance that
- very member of regular committees
r;-;be on the job. Especially is this true,
; , because of the fact that the com
,; -mittees were organized in units, each
separate from the other. If any com
mlttee fails to function properly. It
. .. will affect the entire show, and yet
not one of these committees can lean
.., , .on another to do its work.
-v Helping: Hand Kept Ready.
- "Portlanders can do countless
things to help make the 1920 Shrine
' " committee a wonderful success. See
that our visitors are cared for first,
.'.. and let those of us who live In Port-
'"i- land take the second table, as it were.
1
Everyone will have a good time, but
remember that you will add to your
Joy and that of your guests if you
will wear a smile, display true Port
land pep and be ever ready to lend
a helping hand with information or
' .assistance." 1
"' - .- Mr. Hofmann In his ttatement
placed especial emphasis on the need
: of every committeeman to do his fu-11
' ' ' duty.
"The 1920 Shrine convention will be
J' the biggest Shrine conclave ever held.
This fact should be remembered by

J Hofmann. "Let every person do his

FAST IX ORDER.
Honors to Be Relinquished This
Year to Present Deputy,
Ellis Li. Garrclson.
In the almost half century of its
career there is one figure in the
Shrine that has stood out pre-eminently.
From his election as outer guard at
New Orleans in 1910 to the pinnacle
of illustrious potentate, which he
reached in Indianapolis last year,
there has been none to. challenge tiie
meteoric leadership of W. Freeland
Kendrick.
Mr. Kendrick is tax collector of
Philadelphia. He is a wealthy man
with two hobbies the Shrine and or
phan children and he is said to sup
port an orphanage in Philadelphia.
: He is traveling to Portland In his
private car and will have his head
quarters in the royal suite ' of the
Multnomah hotel.
Each year as he has been raised a
notch In Shrinedom, he has distin
guished himself In some unique man
ner. It is said he wears a different
and more striking suit of clothes on
every day of every Imperial session.
' At one session he rode into the con
vention hall on a snow white horse,
with golden trappings, while he wore
golden armor.
" He has received honors in both
branches of Masonry. In the Scottish
rite he has received the highest honor

WESTERN UNION MESSENGERS APPEAR IN NATTY UNIFORMS TO GREET AND SERVE
1 )3IXXfpUC
t 'MESSENGER BOYS AS THEY APPEAR IN NEW UNIFORMS.
Have you noticed the Western Union messengers the last few days? Bright new suits of the texture and color used by members of the United
States marine corps have been supplied to each member of the Western Union messenger forces.
The suits selected for the boys, that they might look their finest during the Shrine convention, were obtained by City Superintendent Williams at
a cost in excess of 83000. Each boy has been given two suits, one to be used as a spare.
The Portland Western Union messengers have gained a reputatalon of being 'the best in the Pacific division. They are all Portland boys and the
majority of them have graduated from high schools and entered the telegraph service with the object of going to the top.
No longer will Portland think of a slovenly-dressed, ultra-tough boy, when he thinks of a messenger boy. Instead, a picture of a polite boy, IB a.
neat uniform, ready to serve the public, will come to mind. Surely this is a new age. J.

MANY APPLICATIONS EXPECT
ED AT IMPERIAL MEET.
Miami, Ha., Delegation Is First to
Announce Purpose to Ask for
Imperial Concession.
Several applications for charters for
temples will be made at the imperial
Shrine session, which opens Tuesday.
The first delegation to announce its
intention of asking tor one is that
6f Miami. Fla.
John . B. Orr and F. W. De Laney,
president and secretary of the Miami,
Fla., Shrine club, are in Portland with
the avowed intention of getting
temple for their city. They were on
the road more than a week.
"Miami, the second fastest growing
city in the south, the rate of increase
being 445 per cent, with a membership
of 500 . Shriners, a population that
trebles in winter time due to the large
number of tourists and a record of
more than 6000 Shriners entertained
last winter, deserves some considera
tion from the imperial council when
new temples are authorized in the
various cities," declared Mr. Orr. "At
present we have more than 300 candi
dates who will be added to the roll
if we are successful in getting our
temple. Morocco Shrine, at Jackson
ville, Fla., is the nearest temple and
we are obliged to travel more than
380 miles to attend meetings."
Both of the travelers were en
thusiastic over Portland and were
oud in their praises of the hospi
tality of the people. "We thought
Miami was a great city, but have to
admit that there- are others," they
said. They are tne guests of Will
F. Powell, at 322 East Fifteenth
street North.
