and Repartee.

Masonry and music were impressive

held its annual installation ceremonies
at the Masonic Temple The mystic
beauty Of ritualism enhanced by the
magic harmonies Of the Oxford Quar-
tette made the session memorable
event in the history of the Chapter
and an occasion long to be remembered
by all who were privileged to enjoy
its solemnities and pleasantries.
The major business Of the evening
consisted of the Inauguration of the
following officers with P. H. P. Alex
ander Mccall acting as Master of
Ceremonies and P. H. r. Fred J. Fisher

Following the ritualistic services
which were performed with majesty
appropriate to the occasion and the re-
sponsibilities devolving on the new
cabinet banquet with music conclud-
ed the festivities Of the evening.
1t was wonderful music, too, y said
one of the brothers this morning. " AL
though it was only d quartette, the
voices were SO beautifully blended and
so powerful when the score demanded
it that the very bigness Of it all sug-
gested a choir or a chorus. / have
never heard the 'Sextette' interpreted
50 feelingly. The pathos Of it, the fam
tasy, the wild love strain, were all ex-
pressed with richness of tone and
perfection Of technique that made it a
real MASTERPIECES.
The number was so uproariously re-
ceived as to COMPEL a repetition.
Other numbers which proved popular
were "The Quartette from Rigoletto"
SO Fairest Daughter Of the Graces -
"The Perfect Day" and "Keep the
Home Fires Burning
The banquet was made doubly en-
joyable by the orgy of oratory which
followed it. John A. Rose, acting as
POSTMASTER, presided witheunusual po-
lish, wit, and repartee and SO gave
the program a tone of ultra-facetious-
ness and fantasy. The note thus
struck was ably sustained by High
Priest Elect Richard Mahlstead and
Installing Officer A. B. Mccall. Both
responded with speeches of unusual
cleverness and inspiration, just such
speeches as were needed to furnish a
grand finale for grand occasion.

Tattoo Before Taps

In the army "Tattoo" gives warn-
ing of "Taps."
Preserving the military, then, DR..
Helen Harbert is today sounding "Tat-
too" for Kenosha nurses who have not
as yet returned their questionnaires by
way of suggesting Taps" which comes
on next Saturday with the end Of
nursing survey week.
To date the response has been very
gratifying. Eighty missionaries have
been returned and only fourteen are
still out. These are confidently ex-
pected within few days.
To prevent oversights of any kind
in the work DR.. Harbert today issued
the following statement to the Kenosha
public:
eff there are any graduate, under
graduate, practical nurses or nursing
in Kenosha who have not as
yet received questionnaires they may
secure the same upon application by
telephone, by mail, or in person. Any
other information they desire viii be
willingly given"

of America was held on Tuesday after
noon at the home Of Mrs. R. J. Dolan
on South Chicago street. A most de-
|lightful paper entitled "Our Club'
was read by the president, Mrs. Ches-
ter Ozanne. The thesis showed the ire
mendous Importance of the new move
ment and made a deep impression on
the members of the league. Mrs. Do
Ian read an article on conservation as
applied to other phases of life, which
did much to emphasize the message
of Mrs. Ozanne.
= Just as Pinchot has shown the i'm
Iportance of preserving our forests, =
Mrs. Dolan stated, so the league will
demonstrate the necessity Of saving the
lives of our children.''
Following the papers of the afternoon
Miss Alice Gottfredsen played piano
solo and Mrs. Dolan sang a group of
classical and semi-classical songs. Both
numbers were interpreted with real
artistry and power and won rich ap-
plause from the audience.
The time of the meetings of the club
has been changed from the second and
fourth Tuesday to the second and fourth
Wednesday of each month. The next
meeting will be held on Wednesday,
January goth with Mrs. M. P. Plous of

To Mrs. Bradford
Architect Chubb Pays Tribute to
Work of kenosha Woman.


High tribute is paid to the work of
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford as superinten-
dent of the Kencsha schools in letter
sent TO the School Board On Tuesday
evening by Architect John D. Chubb
of Chicago. Here is the letter
Kenosha, Wis, January IA, 1919.
Board of Education.
Gentlemen After the several remarks
at your special board meeting last
evening and everybody seemed to be
receiving their share of compliments, it
occurred to me that one person had been
most Internationally overlooked, name
", your worthy superintendent of
schools, Mrs Mary D. Bradford, who
without any question has worked hard
and increasingly for several years to
bring about better schools for the
city of Kenosha.
From my personal observations, I do
not know of any superintendent of
schools in connection with all of my
other school work during the past ten
or twelve years, who has given more
careful study and has taken any more
if as much, interest in the construc-
ton of new schools as Mrs. Bradford
has done in connection with your work,
and I, personally, feel that her assist
ance and untiring efforts along all
lines which have led up to the final
awarding of contracts for the new
north side school are worthy of the ere
dit and admiration due her at this time.
Very truly yours,
John D. Chubb,

Civilian Chaplain Ruth Tells
Kenoshans of Life of Sail
or at Mems Dinner
Tuesday.
BLAMES "FIFTY-FIFTY RULE"
Speaker Tells Members of St. Nat.
thew's Mems Club That Reputa-
tions of Jacks Have Suffered by
This Rule--Asks for Leadership.

Inside information concerning the
1 life of the "gob" - or just the ordi-
nary sailor, if that is easier to UNDER
stand = was given Tuesday evening to
the members of the st. Mat
tew's Men Club by Civilian
Chaplain Ruth of the Great Lakes in
an interesting address at the Guild
Hall. A large percentage of the mem
bership of the club were present at
the meeting and enjoyed the account Of
a sailors pleasures and troubles.
Chaplain Ruth has been peculiarly
fitted to speak of the life of the
"gob.' When the war broke out he
was rector of a parish at Ashland
but he Immediately laid aside the
cloth and enlisted as a private in the
navy and tasted all of the homesick-
ness AND likewise the pleasures, which
come into the experience of an aver
age "gob.o Later he became chap
lain at the station and for the last
year has been intimately connected
with the religious work which is be-
ing carried on among the sailors sta
toned at Great Lakes.
The Rev. Ruth told many interesting
stories of how the sailors had learned
to adapt themselves to any conditions.
He declared that the personnel of the
navy represented many of the best
families of America and that these
men had met every test which had been
put upon them. He declared that the
idea which had crept into the ira
ditions of the navy that "gob" must.
be "ffty-ffty" man not too good
or too bad-was to blame for the bad
reputation which the uniform had
gained in some cities.
In dealing with the subject "The
Cruch and the Cob" the Rev. Mr..
Ruth declared that sailors would come
back from the service more inclined
to religion than they were when they
went away. GA negative religion"
said the speaker, twill, however, not
satisfy these men who have seen ac-
ton. He has had an intimation of
real spiritual life and when he gets
back he viii expect the same thing"
"Whlt we will need when the boys
come back" said the speaker is lead
ership. If the church expects to keep
what it has taught the men in service,
we must have men like Nehemiah of
old to show the boys our belief in
the faith and they will follow" The
responsibility for what will happen to
the church when the soldiers and sail
ors return rests according to the
speaker with the men who stayed at
home and who now must meet the
situation.
The address was given following the
regular dinner of the St. Matthews
Mems Club at six thirty at the Guild
Hall. Prior to the address a real
"sing' was given under the direction
of Morgan Price as the membership
joined in singing "Smiles, - "Pack Up
Your Troubles" and other songs Of
the boys. Following the address pic
lures of France were thrown on the
screen.
Under the caption "Now Gobs-"
excerpts from the address of
the Rev. Mr.. Ruth are given elsewhere
in this paper, all Of which will be in
teresting to all Kenoshans who have

OUR SOLDIERS WHO WILL NOT
RETURN,
Some Who Gave All They Had Now
Sleep Beneath the POppies i'm
Fields OF France.

On day in June of last year the
country was thrilled by the news that
a division of the American Army had
arrived in France. They were the first
OF our land to reach the theater Of
war; the first to bear the Stars and
Stripes to gladden. the eyes and fire
the hearts of the war-worn legions OF
France, with the promise Of help and
comfort to come, and although they
were but handful compared with
the vast armies battling at the front,
they were to us and to them the SYM
boil of the awakening of a giant. 1t
was many weeks later before the full
filment of the promise began in the
thin brown stream that flowed out
from the first transport and that
gradually widened and heightened
until it touched and spread upon the
fighting line. Over 100000 of our
boys have been sent to France since
that day in June, most of them this
year, not all for fighting, but all for
service, and heroes every one. What
they have done toward the victorious
ending of this war is not to be
measured with eXactness in this day,
but we know, that they have done all
and more than was expected of them,
we know they have had a great and
honorable share in the work that
brought the triumph, we know that
they have placed the word "Ameri-
cam still higher on the eternal roll
of glory, and we know that we are
proud OF them, every last man of
them. ..
Before very long the brown stream
will be flowing westward and we
shall welcome them as they deserve
to be welcomed. But there are some
who will not return. There are somt
who gave all they had for the great
cause, and they now sleep beneath
the peoples in the fields of France.
Many rude cross bearing an Ameri>
can name tells of a sacrifice that was
complete and of service that may
not with honor be forgotten. They
died for US. And more: they died to
save mankind from a cruel subject
ion, they died to secure the blessing
of freedom for all men, they died
that others might live, live happily,
live in the bright sun Of new day.
Each and every one of them bears
"a distinguished service cross that
time cannot tarnish. Their names,
ultimately. will pass into oblivion, as
all names except a favored few,
must pass, but no years can eface
their de eds, and they, though forgot
ten, will live forever in the immor-
tally of their service. Some day we
shall build monuments to our boys
who fell in France, but no editice OF
marble or of brass can equal the
monument they themselves have
built. ....."

the first few pages of the book were
