In No. 33 it was found that authorities, equally credible, differed.
Hence the question was dropped, and no matter what was the answer it was
counted correct.
The prizes were $25 divided, but $10 to first. The amount awarded is
slightly increased. The highest honor goes to George Peirce, who is a
Pennsylvanian, aged 12. He answered correctly all but two of the
questions. Second prizes of $2 each go to Lois A. Dowling, of New York
(Rochester), and John H. Campbell, Jr., of Pennsylvania (Germantown);
and third prizes of $1 each to the following: Harry Nelson Morey, New
York; Henry S. Parsons, Massachusetts; John J. Clarkson, Helen J.
Curley, and Martin Henneberry, Illinois; Charles A. Urner and Frank A.
Urner, New Jersey; Pierre Freret, Louisiana; Edmund T. M. Franklin,

Sanders, Maryland, and Mae Sterner, Pennsylvania.
Some Questions for the Founders.
Now that our Order has been so conspicuously honored as to have a great
journal named for it, there arise a few questions for the Founders to
vote upon. First, the Founders and all other members are asked to note
that although the whole paper is named for their Order, that Order has
not a less but a greater place in it, and, instead of a few pages being
devoted to them, now the whole paper will seek to give them everything
necessary to their growth in that "goodlye felloeship, worthie
knowledge, and chivalrie up to date" which form the grand basis of our
union.
The questions to be voted on are these:
1. Shall we abolish or retain the eighteen-years-of-age limit?
2. Shall we have a new membership certificate?
3. Shall we have a new and different badge?
