graciously accorded yesterday.
I desire TO say that the nine

your decision that because OF
weighty considerations OF state,
you will be unable TO leave

had greater pleasure than that
which 1 enjoy this evening in ex-
tending to you the welcome OF st.
Johns Commandery No. 1, 10 enter
into the full enjoyment OF this func-
ton, which has a two-fold purpose
to do honor to the memory OF
Washington. the Man and the Mason.
and TO do honor TO the wives, the
mothers. the daughters and the
sweethearts OF the men who have
performed their pilgrimage TO the
Temple, and engaged in devotion
therein.
This function Is noteworthy. not
only because OF its magnitude, but
also because OF its rarity. The his
tory OF our commandery shows that
Il Is only at long intervals that our
Sir Knights invite their ladies' 10
participate in their Templar dOings.
In fact, 1 think that those intervals
have been entirely too long for the
welfare OF the commandery and the
welfare OF its members. our be-
loved organization has nothing TO
lose, but much to gain, by making
affectionate appeal to the hearts and
minds OF those noble women to
whom our Sir Knights owe 80 much
OF their success IN life. II Is my firm
! conviction that this honor TO the
memory OF Washington and this
honor 10 the nobility Of our woman
hood should become an annual event
In the history OF our commandery,
) and that. with the lapse OF each
year. we should strive 70 make that
event bigger and nobler in It's SYM
bolism OF Templar love Of Country.
OF Home and OF Family
You see displayed before you the
\ portraits OF George Washington and
Warren c.. Harding. You behold the
face OF Washington clothed with
that dignity OF thought and earnest
ness of purpose which served him
so well in those dark days which
eliminated In the firm establishment
OF our great country In the sister
| hood OF nations. He was the first
Masonic president OF the United
States OF America.
you also behold the face Of War
rem G.. Harding. bearing upon 70 the
stamp OF patriotism and OF intelli-
gent devotion 10 duty-two elements
which are assisting him today in his
struggle In behalf Of our beloved
nation. which IS none the more des-
perate and momentous because e Is
not drenched with human blood.
Efforts were made by us TO in
duce our President. and our Frater
Warren G.. Harding. TO be present
here tonight that you might meet
him and greet him as a brother
Mason. a brother Sir Knight. and as
one OF the great conservators or the
liberties and interests OF our coun.
. try and It's people.
Unfortunately for us he was un.
able TO come. not because Of lack oil
desire on his part. but because o.

all OF us will agree IS OF greater i'm

TO AID JOBLESS
Society Women to Raise

A large group of prominent New York
society women, headed by Mrs, Newbold
LIE Roy Edgar, have started movement
to provide bathing stations in New York
and other cities so that men temporarily
out of work can keep clean and retain
their morale while hunting jobs. The
great purpose of this organization is to
raise the morale of men permanently
not just afford temporary relief. In or
der to get this great work started at once
the committee interested in relief work
for the unemployed will give Sunrise
Ball. at the Ambassador Hotel here on
Thursday night, April 20, the ball be-
ginning at 10 o'clock and lasting until
sunrise"
Every cent taken in at the Sunrise
Ball" will be 100 per cent effective as all
overhead expenses Of the ball have been
donated by public spirited citizens and
members of the committee. The enter
prise is the result of flrst-hand study of
unemployment not only in New York, but
other great Industrial centers of the cOun-
try, and its thesis Is self-respecting men
out Of work find it more difficult to OBJ
tain soap and water and razors than to
get free food and lodging.

Illness means self-confdence, renewed as
surance, strengthened morale, clean and

THE cry has not fallen on deaf ears.

itself to give these deserving men a
chance. 1t Is pledged to pit clean bodies
and clean minds against the ever increas-
ing wave Of dirt, degradation and law
lessness. The first step Will be 10 es-
