The Amerlean Voice

Whatever be the cause, 1t Is fact
that American men no longer seek TO
control the pitch of their voices as the
gentlemen of the old school were
taught to do. Undue haste, excessive
nervousness, and "A yigor of purpose
that is likely TO assert itself i'm an
oycremphatic manner have probably
combined to produce in the American
voice that raw, shnH unrestrained
quality SO noticeable The voices OF
American women are even more shock

Free Masonry,

The origin of Free Masonry is un.
known. Its history can be traced for
upwards of 500 years. It's traditions
go back many hundreds of years pre-
viously. II Is fraternal and benevo-
lent in its purpose. Ancient Craft Ma
sonry consists OF four degrees only.
but many other branches and degrees
have been added from time TO time,
further exemplifying and illustrating
the lessons taught in the original de-
grees. William Morgan was an impe-
cunious printer OF northern New York,
who threatened to print the sO-called
secrets OF Masonry, and who. on being
arrested for debt or some other cause,
suddenly disappeared. HIS disappear
ance about 1926 was taken hold of and
exploited for political purposes. The
so-called exposure is unreliable and
valueless. Morgan was not a true Ma.
son.
