ed with an honorable veteran's ,jewel,

faithful service to the order. The je-
wel was presented by the brethern of
Golden. Link Lodge in recognition of
the service he :'has been to this lodge
since its institution -eighteen years

the •past grands who took part in the
ceremonies..
The presentation was made b'p Bro.
G. G. Coote, M.P.,, who- was one of
the early past grands of Golden Link
lodge. In,." accepting 'the jewel, and

A S.A.ILING 'SHIP WITHOUT SAILS
Known as the Rotor ship, she is a vessel of 650 tons with twos
'towers 50 Leet high and tenfeet in diameter. These towers are
hollow cylinders extending to the ,bottom of the ship and revolving
on pivots. Each is driven by a 16 H.P. motor contrained-in it. •herr
Anton Plettner, the inventor of the Rotor ship, hasput to pi'^el'cal
use the discovery made seventy -eye years ago, that the pre, <-U ng
power of wind driven against rafiidly revolving cylinders is - 'much.
,greater than when it acts on a stationary, surface: It is steered by -
stopping the rotating of .one of the towers. • One of the br a advan-
tages of this ship is thatone man can do the work, whereas a con-
siderable crew is required for other ships.

I3ro. Tully also officially conveyed the
coegratulations and greetings' of the
Veterans' Association, Among otliea, i
present were Bro, T. A, Attwood,
D.J?,G,lv1.; Bro. ,Joseph Anderson, a
veteran from grand lodge of Manitd-
ba, and visiting brothers from Cayley,
Hugh River and other lodges,
'flat a presentation of this kind is
unusual is evidenced by, the fact that
only four honorable veteran's jewels
have previously been presented in Al-
berta. These are; L. H. Tarrant of
Calgary, who r=eceived the 'first jewel
in 1918; W. J3, Bur•nett,:•P.G.A1., of
Lethbridge;l'5. McNabb of•Lethhrid e;
Thos; Bruce, of Calgary, who died last
year, As it requires half a century
of continuous good standing; veryfew
who join the order ever attain '.this
honor.
