MASONS TO BOOST GIRLS SCHOOL FUR
 GRADE A STANDING
Seek To Make Possible Con- ferring Of Degrees By
 A. G. I. l.

Masons of Birmingham and of Ala bsma are interesting themselves in q movement looking toward the ad- vancment of the Girls Technical In- stitute at Montevallo to a class A standard so that the school will be enabled to confer degrees and accord iagly gain higher recognition over the south.
 To this end Masons of the district are being acquainted with facts in the case and their individual sup port enlisted. It is expected that the 50,000 Masons of the state of Ala bama will rally to the cause of tho Montevallo school and see to it that it becomes enlisted among the class A institutions. The movement is in line with we'll defined Masonic policy to further education in the state whenever opportunity presents.
 Resolutions adopted on the subject are given below:
 Masonry is always ready to lena its aid to any movement that will aavance the cause of education, and is more especially concerned in mt ting our own boys and girls for the duties of life. A movement Is now on foot to induce the coming leSlSIa ture to take such measures as VIII enable those in charge Of It to put the Alabama NTlTlS u ieiA SNAiOOH at Nontevallo among the grade schools. I recommend that this grand lodge pass appropriate resolu, lions indorsing this movement anu urging the legislature Of Alabama to enact such laws as will secure this purpose"
 Whereas, we as Masons are inter- ested in education and especially lH n m S.,
 Whereas, our Girls Technical in- stitute at Montevallo is not a class "A" school and unable to confer de- grees; therefore,
 Re 1t Resolved, That this grand ,odrog go on record as indorsing the elevation of this institution to a class "A" standard and
 Be 1t further resolved, That we, as Masons, use all our influence to nase a,,r To oislature pass such laws as arc necessary to raise said 1nstltu- ton to class "A" standard.

CATHOLIC THEATRE MOVE- MENT REPORTS ON PLAYS

The Catholic theatre movement is being highly commended for it's in- Vestigations and reports on the the atrical offerings of the country. The plays usually make their beginnings in New York and the Catholics in their reports call attention to helpful features in some plays, and to de- basing scenes in others. MT. Louis C. HaSSerty is secretary of the or Ganization. An example of the methods employed in appraising plays, the report on play known as The Demi-Virgin," says: "Magis- trate McAdoo criticised this play as deliberately, painstakingly. coarsely indecent. flagrantly and suggestive ly immoral, impure in motive, word and action, and in every respect of fensively Illegal The magistrate s decision was overruled. and the play had a great run. It is now being played throughout the country in the combination theatres which are largely family resorts" The organi- zation has commended a number of plays and the reports have been made after diligent investigation. A leading Protestant journal recom- mends that these reports be given a large circulation in Protestant cir cleS.

JEWISH ORGANIZATION WOULD HANISH tSACRAMENTAL WINE

The Los Angeles kehillah. an or ganization representing Jewish syna- gogues, at d recent meeting voted to ask the revocation of all permits for the use of sacramental wine so far as these are given to Jewish abbis. The reason assigned for the action. according to Dr. NJ. I. Cross man, president of the organization. is that the permits are being abused. Certain individuals are securing through misrepresentation liquors of alcoholic contents. and are offering them for sale. Dr. Mayer Winlller has announced that henceforth any man arrested for the abuse of sacra- mental permits will not be recog- nized as d rabbi Dr. Winkler says; Tt is incompatible with the rabbi nate for a rabbi to deal in unlawful commodities"

PICkETING IN INTEREST OF FUNDANENTALISM

man with large photograph of Marshal Foch's shrapnel-torn Bible placarded on his breast took his stand in front of the First Presby- terian church of New York on re- cent Sunday morning. When ques- toned as to his purpose, he said that he was pick eting in the interest of fundamentalism." His object was to protest against the ministry of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, the noted minister whose theology has been the subject of discussion in church circles throughout the world. The photograph of the Bible indicated n passage in Jeremiah which reads, Behold the days come. saith the Lord, that l will raise unto David a righteous branch. and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall exc cute judgment and justice in all the earth" Religious papers are out spoken in their condemnation of the practice of using the methods of the militant suffragettes of Eng land" by those who represent them selves as the defenders of the holy things of faith.

The excited youngster who I'M
