B E S T Q U A L I T Y A L W A Y S NO BOUTS AT PWM FOR A FEW WEEKS Management Announces Tltat Layoff Will Be Short and Notice Will Be- Given of Reopening Date The closing bouts of the summer season were pulled at the Polly Prim Tuesday evening, Sept. 25, with the following officers officiating: Boxing commissioner, D. J. Hor&n; referee, Jabber Young; judges, Walter Hamburg and A. J. Kirchberg; timekeeper, Earl Morgrette, physicians, Drs. Klontz and Froehlich. The opening bout was at 118 pounds between a Grayslake schoolboy, Howard Kraft, and Billy Uray, who was substituting for Pete Sereda. Wray is a very clever little boxer,but Kraft had just a shade the best of it in each round and the judges declared him the winner. The second bout was at 157 pounds and . Bud Seiler of Libertyville- was just too much for Jack Chiloski of Barrington. During the second round Jack forfeited the bout to Seil- The third bout was at 160 pounds and Frankie Pagel of Genoa City appeared to take thfr first and second rounds while Red Griffo of Chicago seemed to have the best of it in the third round. The judges disagreed qp the third round and Griffo got the fourth round decision. The fourth bout was at 134 pounds and Lew Staley of Waukegan was a very good match for Jce Brown of Chicago, the judges giving Brown the decision. This was one of the fastest bouts of the evening and Staley made a very good showing for himself. The^ifth bout was at 142 pounds and Frankie Merery of Grayslake was far outpointed by Mort Maxidon of Waukegan. Merery was inexperienced but the gamest kind of a kid. The boxing commissioners decision was "no contest," at the end of the second round. The sixth bout was surely a bloody battle as Davie Huck's much abused nose was landed on repeatedly by Frankie Jane of Barrington, but Huck's bloody nose did not bother his left from giving Jane a nine-count in the second: round, the bell being all that saved him. And again that left of <JIuck's made Jane take two ninecounts in the third round. Huck got the decision. When Huck j^ets the right to working along with the left and his nose gets healed up he will handle them much heavier than himself as he swings a mean knockout punch. The windup boat was at 160 pounds between two boxers not on the card. A1 Sebaskey of Lake Forest was a clever boxer, but he could not seem to guard against Ernie Wilson's upper cots in the clinches and soon in the first round Sebaskey had a very sorry looking nose. Wilsdn had no trouble in taking all three rounds and the decision. The management announced that THE WORLD'S GREAT EVENTS ALBERT PAY&ON TERHUNE Poaa. A Comp--y.) : Henry of Navarre A COUNTRY boy--long rather than tall, high of forehead, with a great hooked beak of a nose, a taimed face and wtry frame--came up to Paris, against his mother's will, one day In the latter part of the Sixteenth century. He was the penniless Prince Henry of Beam, Ron of stupid old Antony of Bourbon, king of Navarre. In coming to Paris he was walking Into the very jaws of death. Catherine de Medici, widow of Henry II, was practically ruler of Prance In spite of the fact that her weak son. Charles IX sat on the throne. 8he had fftur sons. They were all childless. Should they chance to die without direct heirs, the royal line of Valols would end, and the qpown must pass, by succession, to their cousin, the king of "Navarre. Catherine was an ardent Catholic, as were her sons and her adherents. Navarre, a little subsidiary province near the 8panlsh frontier of Franco, was the center of the Huguenot (Protestant) movement. The rulers of Navarre were the chiefs of the Huguenots. Hence, If the king of Navarre should Inherit the throne. France would probably become a Huguenot country. So Catherine cast uneasy eyes towards the little kingdom and began to plot measures for averting such a Possibility. Jean ue tf'A lbret, wife of Antony de Bourlxm alnd mother of young Henry of NavarreVw^s also doing some plotting, but along wholly different lines. She was one of the noblest, best women In history. Her husband had been a weak, dissipated, thick-headed fellow, and all her hopes were centered In her hoy. She accordingly had Henry brought up as a rigid Prottstant, sought to turn his mind to high thoughts, to honor and personal rectitude, urged him to outdoor life and exposure to toughen and strengthen him, and confided his military training to the famous Admiral Collgny. In the midst of this course of training Jeanne was horrified to receive a request from Catherine that Henry visit the gay court at Paris. She well knew that such an Invitation amounted to a royal command, and that It could not with Impunity be disobeyed. Yet she foresaw the terrible Influence* a woman like Catherine could exert on her pleaaure-lovlng eon. Henry, delighted to be free from such close discipline, hurried to Parts and plunged at once into the dissolute gayety of the court. Jeanne In vain tried to retain her Influence over him by writing him long letters full of advtae and of news of his old hdaM. Catherine dreaded the effect of those •>? W-.T *,j] RETURN FKOM MOTOR TRIP THROUGH EAST Mr .and Mrs. A. L. Purvey and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Krause Report Enjoyable Tour Mr., and Mrs. A. L. Purvey and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Krause returned home Sunday from a motor trip through the east. They covered nearly 1,700 miles, every mile of which proved to be a real pleasure, withqjjt a bit of trouble of any kind, not even so much as a flat tire. Leaving Uli nois they passed through Elkhart, Ind., to Detroit, Mich., where they visited the Ford plant and from Port Hluron they ferried across to Sarnia, Canada. In Canada they motored through London and Woodstock and near St. Katherine saw trees loaded with peaches, many of them as large as baseballs. They also saw many vineyards with vines hanging loaded with grapes. - From Canada they entered New York state and traveled through Buffalo to Niargara Falls, where all the wonderful beauties of this work of nature were enjoyed. , The homeward trip was made over a different route through Pennsylvania and Ohio. They went as far as Jenners, Pa., and also visited Pittsburgh. The route led through tlje Allegheny region and was one continuous chain of hills, and such hills--we would call them mountains. Many oil wells were seen and several coal mines were visited where work had slacked up because of a recent strike of the miners. They also visited Johnstown, the scene of the former flood catastrophe, with its residential district built high up the perpendicular sides of a hill, and the business section in the valley below. Seven states were visited by the McHenry people during their trip which was a most interesting one, and one long to be rememberedL Set New Fashimt The first umbrella seen In this country was Used by a man in 1772 on the streets of Baltimore.

The Polly Prim is equipped with a combined heating system with steam heat and pipeless furnace and if necessary can hold the temperature at 80 degTeer even in • xero weather, so that when boxing is renewed no one need suffer Yrom the cold.

Every decent Influence being thus removed, Henry wallowed deeper dally In the Infamies of Catherine's contrivance. He was now king of Navarre, nominal bead of the Huguenot^ hot too ffleeped In the pleasures of court to give much thought u» his responsibilities. To wipe out the Huguenots Catherine arranged the massacre of St Bartholomew within a week after Hetty's marriage to her daughter Margaret. Henry, seeing his life was In danger, renounced Protestant-. Ism and betnune a Catholic. Three years later he escaped from Paris, where he was treated more like a prisoner than a king and fled to Navarre, where his Huguenot adlterents were awaiting htm. On the way he stopped long enough to renounce Catholicism and declare himself a faithful Huguenot. For the next few years be Indulged in as gay a life as his impoverished little kingdom could afford. Meantime, on Charles IX's death, his younger brother, Henry IFI, had come to the throne of France. He was frivolous and weak. The Parisians worshiped the duke of Guise, who openly declared himself a claimant to the throne and who started the League, an organization semi-civil, semi-religious, made up from all classes and devoted to the Guise family. Henry III, to check this rising revolt, had Guise assassinated. The League In fury rose to ..^venge Its leader's death and drove the king oat of Paris. The dispossessed monarch Joined forces with Henry of Navarre against the League, but was himself assassinated in 1589. This left Henry of Navarre rightful king of France. Henry boldly li^id siege to Paris to enforce his claims. He beat the League's armies at Arques'ln 1R88 and at Ivry In 1590. Henry was tired of warfare and poverty. He wanted to be a king, not a guerilla leader. So he abjured Protestantism and for the second time declared himself a trUe Cethollc. This removed the last barrier to his success and all France glad* 1y acclaimed him kln&. 8o In 1583 he 'entered Paris in itrlumph, apparently in no way abashed st having twice deceived his .earlier followers by such ready changes of faith. He drove the Spanish out of Prance, put down the League, and In 1596, by tbe edict of Nantes, assured privilege snr1 religions toleration to all Protestants. Under him modern France had Its birth. ,He ruled wisely and for the good of tbe people At tbe height of his career, May lil, 1610, be was murdered by RavaUlac, a fanatic, his young son.
