Lililan Sayler, Worthy Matron 01TMcHenry Chapter, Order Eastern Star, was in attendance at the Grand Chapter in Chicago, October 5, 6, 7 and 8. At a stated meeting of the local chapter Monday evening, Oct. 12, Mrs. Sayler read the fallowing interesting report of'the sessions in Chicago: The convening of the 51st annual sersion of the Grand Chapter trf the O. E. S. was heralded with many social events. On Monday evening at the close of a very busy registration day at the LaSalle hotel, members and visitors repaired to Medinah Temple Mosque in anticipation of a musical treat. The W. G. M. and her official family were greeted by a large audience as they assumed their seats. Clara L. Henrich, Most Worthy G. M., was a in ember of the official party, together with many of the past officers. The evening's entertainment opened with an organ recital by Geo. Kurzenknabe, W. G. Organizer, which was a joy to those who listened. Medinah's Shrine band, 85 strong, then gave a concert followed by a professional vaudeville, consisting of skaters, dancers and singers, followed by dancing in the ball room. On Tuesday night, at the close of the session, the Nellie R. Meyers club gave a supper in the red room of the Hotel LaSalle for worthy matrons and thcii friends, in honor of Nellie R. Meyers and grand officers. With a magnificent background of superb mums and ferns, oriental rugs and other artistic decorations, the Grand Chapter opened its 51st annual j session on the large stage of Shrine j Temple in Chicago. The chairs andi altar and everything was in white with. large shower bouquets on each chair,! t h e c o l o r o f t h e s t a t i o n . F o u r t h o u -j < sand members of the order almost) filled the temple, probably the only] hall in the state of Ilinois which can accommodate the Grand Chapter. It1 was a colorful and pleasing sight when the Grand Chapter officers entered with the formality and pageantry which the Grand Chapter knows so well how ta present. The ovation of applause which greeted the W. G. M. as she assumed her station in the Grand East, bespoke the love and esteem with which she is held by everyone. The address of welcome was delivered by Sen. Charles S. Deneen, an eloquent address, which received an equally eloquent response by Eva H. Hamilton, A. G. M. Many distinguished members of the order were present who were shown the honors and c tesies due thfeir stations. Business consisted of reports of committees. The report of the W. G. M. is a detailed and comprehensive resume of the activities and transactions of the year. The report of the W. G. P. was then read. The chief duty of this official is in connection with the institution of new chapters. But one new chapter was instituted during the year as compared with twenty or thirty in recent years. That JtjJ^re is a general opinion that it is not for the best interests of the order to create a large number of new chapters i<5 shown by the fact that in nine cases the required number of signatures were not, obtained. The report "of the grand secretary shows that during the year 12,665 members were initiated, with a net gain of 8,408, making a total membership as of June 30, of 189,130 in 817 rhapters. Seven chapters were granted charters. The principal event of Tuesday night was the observance of memorial exercises in behalf of those who passed away during the year. The obituary committee, under chairmanship of Delia Hinshaw, presented an impressive service of music and speaking, climaxed with a wonderful tableau. _ . , , The election of officers took place on Wednesday morning. ' Installation of officers took place on Thursday night. About 6:30 the doors were closed and many people turned away as the hall was filled to capacity, and it holds 4.500. The installation was beautiful. The installation was followed by speeches, presentation of the jewels and gifts, after whic the Grand Chapter was closed m regular form by the new officers. The next session of the Grand Chapter will be held in Springfield. Distpcl Deputy to Be :._v at K. 0. Meeting District Deputy, Frank Daily of Woodstock, will be present at the next regular meeting of the Knights of Columbus which will take place Thursday evening, October 22, to install the newly elected officers. Following the installation of officers, lunch will be served by the Catholic Daughters of America. -Card Party and Dance A card party and dance will be given at Amann's hall at Round Lake October 20, 1924 by Mrs. Clara Rosing, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Pitzen and Mr. sad Mrs. Thomas Lyons.

UCENSE PLATES ARE STOLEN HERE - i Abandoned Gar at Waukegan Unclaimed J. J. Ryanf formerly of 351 Dean street, Woodstock, now a resident of McHenry and foreman of the Plaindealer office, reported to the Sheriff Thursday morning to be on the lookout for an automobile bearing the license plates which were stolen from his car Wednesday evening when it was parked near the corner of Green and Elm streets in McHenry. The loss was not noticed until early Thursday morning. Saturday morning Mr. Ryan wafe notified that the Waukegan police had found an abandoned Ford coupe at Lucia avenue and Washington Park, the license number on the car indicating that it belonged to him. Investigation by Captain Thomas Kennedy showed that this was not the case. In the back of the car were found two sets of license plates. One set was the same that was stolen from Brad West's car in Waukegan a few days ago. The other set was taken out in Waukegan and a check showed that they were issued t|) Walter A. Keppen of Genesee Depot, Wis. The number on the machine corresponded with the Wisconsin license plate so it is the theory of the police that the car was stolen from Keppen. The officers are working pn the theory that there may have been a' conspiracy to steal cars in the surrounding territory and substitute different license plates so as baffle the police. Mr. Ryan went to Waukegan Sunday and received his stolen plates.

' Mrs. Buss Surprised Mrs. Elizabeth Buss was pleasantly surprised at her hume on Waukegan street Wednesday evening by a numenry traveled to Crystal Lake last Saturday and from all indications it looked like an easy game for Captain Page'and his wrecking crew. But again McHenry got their usual slow start in the first few minutes of the game and their jinx stayed with them until the end of the first half when they vyere at last able to shake it off and keep it off during the rest of the game, but even then Captain Page could not pull the boys through, though he made two spectacular touchdowns himself in the last half. Crystal Lake was very slow but knew their own field, while the McHenry boys could not hold their feet on the slippery ground and the Lakers succeeded in shooting pass after pass for continual gains until at the end of the half the score was 16 to 0 in favor of Crystal Lake. But the second half did not prove so fruitful to the Lakers and their passes for everyone during that period were smeared or intercepted and a gain made for McHenry. First Quarter--Crystal Lake kicked off and McHenry carried the ball back to the 50-yard line where Patzke was stopped by being pushed outside of the field. McHenry did not keep the ball but a few minutes when a fumble occurred in the back field and the McHenry boys were unable to recover it before a Crystal Lake man had it downed. McHenry held their line plunges and off tackles and also their few end runs in this quarter but Crystal Lake had already succeeded in getting all their forward passes to work and had seven points at the end of the quarter, Williams scoring touchdown. Second Quarter--During this session of the game Crystal Lake failed to gain during the fist seven minutes of play but before ,the end of the quarter "Babe" Blethem, Crystal Lake's fullback was again putting over his usual pass and had it not been for the slippery field, Williams would never have gotten his second and last touchdown, via the pass route as he did the other. Play was resumed after Blethem failed to-kick an afterpoint and he next made a nice 25 yard place kick, making the] score at the end of the half 16 to^in favor of Crystal Lake. Second Half--The McHenry boys came out with a smile at the beginning of the second half and every one knew that there would be "a great come back during this time. At the blowing of the whistle Stenger carried the kick off back to their 40 yard line where he was downed. Patzke, Newman, Page, and .Overton were all hiting the line for three to ten yard gains through tackle, guard, (Continued on last page) entertainment for the evening.

Born to Mr and Mrs. Ed Conway at the Woodstock hospital a baby girl Monday morning, October 12. member of the parish through its columns, for in this way we are kept in some sort of communication. I am writing from Naples, the largest city of Italy, where 1 have been since September 15th. My voyage was made on the Italian liner, the Conte Verde, sailing from New York Saturday, September 5. We had a very smooth and delightful passage and after I had become acquainted with those on board, it was in every sense enjoyable. There were five priests on board, including myself. Three wete Italian and one of the others was a American of the order of St Augustine. They were all good companiona and helped to make things pleasant for me. If you will look at an atlas you will see that Naples is almost doe East from New York, and we sailed as direct as possible, stopping nowhere on the way. We passed aboat eighty miles north of the Azores and shortly after took a slight turn to the south, passing the Rock of Gibraltar at the inconvenient hour() of 2:00 o'clock in the morning. The first land, the most of us saw was the Island of Sardinia. Like all that we have seas since it was mountainous and appearently barren. I say appearently, because I have since learned that land that our farmers would consider useless the very industrious Italian has transformed into vineyards and flourishing groves of olives, lemon, orange and other fruit trees. For me the greatest thrill was not sighting land after days on the ocean, but rather seeing our sister ship, the Conte Rosso, pass us close to our side. She looked majestic as she sailed by with every one on her decks waving hats and handkerchiefs and being greeted in return by our own passengers. She waa sailing HOME--so I thought, and I was headed the other way. For the moment I wished I were on her deck instead of on the Conte Verde. As we were due to enter port at 8:00 Tuesday morning, every one was around early, our last day on board, for we all wanted to see the famed Bay of Naples and Vesuvius, whieh towers above it. Even as I write I am looking out of my window on tha Bay and the old Volcano that destroyed Pompeii in the year 79 A. D. Wa entered the harbor on schedule tira» and the first and only greeting I had before getting off the ship was a tel»» gram from Count Von Oberstadt reading: "Welcome to Europe. When am you going to be with us, and what is your European address?" It made me very happy as did the telegram from C. Unti and the card from Peter and Mrs. Doherty and Miss Kerr which - were the last greetings I received bffore leaving the port of New York. If have had the good fortune of meeting a gentleman from Miami, Florida, who with his wife was on the Conte Verde and who has since been extremely kind. In fact I have been with him from the time we arrived in Naples and have been his guest on the tours he has made. He has as guide one of the best known couriers in Europe, and as a consequence I have not had to think of anything, even my baggage being seen to. Mr. Robert Millet is the gentleman's name and I have reason to belike that he is m exemplary Catholic and that he Ukja a very active interest in the affairs of his parish church in Miami. Our first excursion was an auto tour . of a part of the city of Naples I found that the city was entirely ferent from our American cities. 1* streets are quite narrow and not ove£ ly clean, and all sorts <£jeh^ef. *2 , to be seen on them.

It is very curioi* and very interesting. Yesterday I aw a Franciscan monk in his garb driving a little donkey cart and my. only regret was that 1 did not havfc . a picture of him. Statues of saint® and shrines of all sorts adorn tha roadsides, and the buildings and priests and churches are so numerous that one soon begins to realize that hft is in a truly Catholic country. Th» people are delightfully courteous and charming.. Contrary to my expectations, they are exceedingly quiet te their manners and generally speak hi soft tones so different from the car$. eature Italian that one is so familiar with on our American stage.
