Following the banquet a dance was given. More than 40 Scottish Rite Masons were in attendance.
 At the close of the exercises, Judge Frank Thomas. president of the club informed the members that he hoped to be able to secure permission from the Tucson consistory to establish a Lodge of Perfection in Phoenix. The securing of such a lodge. Judge Thomas said. would enable all Scottish Rite Masons in Phoenix to learn the work and give the degrees from the fourth to the fourteenth to Masons in this district, after which they would go to Tucson for the work in the other three lodges making up the consistory.
 Nearly every Scottish Rite Mason present at the exercises last night be- came a member of the Scottish Rite club. At the close of the banquet an- nouncement was made that the ex- ercises pertaining to the "Relighting of the Seven Candies obligatory on all Scottish Rite Masons, would be held next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock in the Masonic temple, 32 South Central avenue.
 In response to Postmaster Judge Thomas, the following toasts were given:

 ITO the Supreme Council of Amer ica," George U. Young.

on in 1897 had only a very small
significance. The revolution Of
1918. however, has opened all
schools to girls. But this Is no
new and sudden departure, for, as
early as 1928. John Amos Komen-
sky (Cominius). the great teacher
Of nations, declared that the
schools of Bohemia should be open
to the young people Of both sexes.
Moreover. the liberties and rights
with which the new Czecho- Slovak
Republic invests the women are

should not be unstable. II has q

A CHANCE
FOR WOMEN.
Words cannot describe how alien
and averse was the spirit which
ruled over the Czechs for 900 years.
And in this spirit of violence there
was no place for justice to women
and we saw girls not only excluded
from high schools but having to
fight for their right to visit craft
schools and universities" AZ a
matter of fact. the whole course Of
Czech history shows the high char
acter Of the women, their fine rela-
ton to the men, and an esteem and
hearty collaboration between the
sexes.
In Bohemia's most glorious epoch
the fifteenth century, the Czech
woman was as educated, as full of
enthusiasm for the reformation Of
moral life, and as determined even
to lay down her life In defense of
the truth and for freedom Of
thought as ever was any man. She
accompanied her husband into bat
tie with the whole family. when IL
became necessary to defend the
country and religious freedom.
And SO down the years, bridging
the hiatus Of foreign domination,
the brave spirit Of the Czech
women was kept alive and shone,
as in other countries, during the
great war. In Bohemia, during
