THE COURTESY OF ACCEPTING
ATTENTIONS FROM
GENTLEMEN

To the well-bred young woman it
Is just as embarrassing to receive a
which she is disinclined to
accept as it is CALLING for any man
to realize that he has wooed a
young woman in vain. In romances
of course the type of distracted
lover who pours out his plant of love
even when he knows it is hopeless is
rather usual, but the real Aesh-and-
blood young man usually wants to
save his face. And any young woman
who is not entirely selfish and unfeel-
ing will SO play her cards in the game
of love as to avoid an unnecessary
declaration.
AS we conduct courtship affairs in
this country such an avoidance of en-
barrassing reflections is easier than it
is in countries where young women
do not have chance to become well
acquainted with young men before
their engagement. In France the we'll
bred young woman has very little op-
portunity to show her feelings toward
possible suitors, as tits not until she
is engaged to young man that she
has much opportunity to see him alone
or to become at ali well acquainted
with him.
In this country, however, young
woman has every chance to express
herself When a young man showers
the young woman Of his choice with
gifts Of flowers or candy, invites her
to the theater and asks to accompany
her to dances, seeks her company on
country walks and at tennis and skat-
ing, he is doing three things-he is
giving her an opportunity to like him
if she will, he is showing his own de-
votion and he is also giving her an
to indicate BY her accep-
lance or refusal Of his courtesies
she is inclined to return his
feelings or not.-Selected.

NATIONS MUSIC CRITIC
PRAISES ROLAND HAYES

In an article on the Negro singer,
Roland Hayes, the music critic Of The
Nation go Vesey Street, New York;,
speaks Of his triumphs in the capitals
and before the crowned heads Of
Europe and then summarizes his
career as follows:
During his years Of study in the
South he worked as waiter, and
when he finally went North to live he
seems to have taken with him the
respect of his white patrons, as they
subsequently proved He remained
North for some years, chiefly in Bos
ton, completing his vocal studies.
giving occasional concerts, and even
venturing : debut in New York,
where, as I remember, he received un-
usually good notices. Then he found
that there was no place for him yet
as an artist in country which had
Just fought to make the world safe
for democracy" So he went to
Europe, where kings and titles and
class distinctions still abound, and
there he found recognition wherever
he went, was lionized by the aris-
tccracy Of Paris and London, and was
even commanded" to sing before
royalty. But Of none Of these things
does he speak. If you ask him why
he went to Europe he will tell you
that he went to learn the languages
and to try to understand the people,
because he felt that If he could under
stand them he could understand their
music. It is because he understands
his own race, he adds, that he is able
to sing their "spirituals" SO well, and
he feels that the same principle could
be applied to al humanity. BY build
ing on the best qualities in himself
that are peculiar to his race, as well
as those that are common to all man
kind, he hopes to prove thar the
Negro can be a universal artist.
something more than a singer Of
"spirituaIs." In this way, and not By
making racial issue or his art, or
Of bis career as an artist, he hopes to
win recognition for his race. And he
is accomplishing his aim. The cifi-
zens of Louisville, Kentucky, where
he worked SO long Is waiter, have
asked him personally, through the
editor Of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal. to come back and sing for them.
And this request has pleased him
more than all the commands of kings.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA
BAMA. JANUARY 1, 1924. OF
FICE OF THE PRINCIPAL

julius F. Taylor, Chicago, III.
Dear Sir:-I send you the following
concerning lynchings for the past year
as compiled by Tuskegee Institute in
the Department of Records and Re-
search, Monroe N. Work in charge. I
find that there were 28 persons lynched
in 1928. This is 2o less than the num-
Der 81 for the year 1922. Thirteen Of
the persons lynched were taken from
the hands Of the law, 2 from jails and
s from officers Of the law outside Of
iails.
We also find that there were As IN
stances in which officers Of the law
prevented lynchings. Four women, 5
white and ] colored, were among
those thus saved. Six Of these pre-
ventions of lynchings were in North
ern States and 40 in Southern States.
In 81 of the cases the prisoners were
removed or the guards augmented or
other precautions taken. In the 9
other instances, armed force was used
to repel the would-be lynchers. In 8
instances during the year persons
charged with being connected with
1ynching mobs were brought to trial.
OF the 81 persons thus before the
courts only 2 were sent to the peni-
tertiary.
Of the 28 persons 1ynched in 1928,
20 were Negroes and 2 were whites;
two of the former were women. Seven
or one-fourth Of those put to death
we're charged with rape or attempted
rape; one Of the victims was burned
to death; one was put to death and
then the body was burned. The
charge against the one burned to death
was murder.
The offenses charged against the
whites were: participation in strike
depredations, !; being taken as Ne
gro, l. The offenses charged against
the Negroes were: murder, s; MUIR
derous assault, q; rape. 6; attempted
rape, l; killing officer of the law, q;
wounding officer Of the law, 2; no
charge reported, 8; assisting man
charged with rape to escape, I; resist
ing posse searching for man charged
with rape, j; cattle stealing, / 'trying
to act ike a white man and not know
ing his place" /; insulting woman, 1;
peeping in window, /; striking man in
alteration. l.
The nine states in which lynchings
occurred and the number in each state
are as follows: Arkansas. z; Florida,
8; Georgia, a; Louisiana, 1 Mississippi,
s; Missouri /; Oklahoma, /; Texas,
2; Virginia. !.
Yours very truly

TEE HERoINEs o. JERIcHo
By Sir knight James =. Bish


This Auxiliary Of the Masonic Fra
ternity received its name and most Of
its tradition from the incident that oc-i
Cured as shown in the Bible at the
city Of Jericho on the banks Of the
Jordan river, from the battle between
the Israelites and the canaanites, when
Joshua captured the city The oath
between Rahab and the spies sent by
Joshua that she would save their lives,
If in return they would save the lives
Of herself and family. That same
oath is regarded as binding between
the wives, daughters and mothers OF
Masons. and is the foundation on
which ''The Heroines of Jericho
stand 1t is the oldest Auxiliary of
ladies of the Masonic family, and was
intended to be conferred on the wives,
mothers and daughters Of Royal Arch
Masons In the degree, much Of the
Biblical history OF the time Of Joshua
is used, and the courts never open un-
less Joshua is present to advise them,
and on the social side Of Masonry
these sisters are Of great help to the
brothers; SO much SO. that many states
have extended to them the right Of
adoption Wherever this has occurred
the courts have fourished They are
guided by the customs and traditions
Of the Masonic order and are very
useful in aiding the Masons in caring
for the sick and the distressed. In
Illinois, during the past three years.
this Auxiliary has had a phenomenal
growth, leaping from a few hundred
members to more than three thousand
The Past Masters Council seems to
take special interest in the advance
ment of these sisters. In Illinois, at
the present time, a movement is on
foot to organize a Past Grand Off
GERS Council Of the Grand Court Off
GERS. The Grand Court has enjoyed
the right of adoption for the past
forty years in Illinois. and have done
great deeds. They will have joint
installation of all the courts in Chi
cago some time this month. Influences
are being brought to bear to get the
Grand Court in a national compact.
The sisters should profit BY the ex-
perience Of the brothers in this national
compact propaganda, and stay clear of
any foreign alliances if they expect to
grow and be allied with and recog-
nized by the brothers. The surrender
Of their sovereign rights TO any one
outside the Grand Lodge Of the states
in which they operate is a dangerous
step in the dark The only dark spot
in the history of the Masonic frater-
nifty was this compact step in 1865,
and the sisters should carefully con-
slider the outcome Of the brothers in
that step. However, the Court is
blessed with women with good sound
judgment and great executive ability
and the heroines of Illinois will do the
thing that is best for this grand Auxil-
larry Masonic organization and as long
as the scarlet line is displayed, the
Masonic brother will protect the
household, for therein dwells a hero
inc of Jericho.
