• The fact that Juvenile groves of the
order may sow be established In all
jurisdictions of the order Is due to the
energetic efforts of Deputy Supreme Arch
James F. Martinoni, who had the mat
ter under consideration for a long time
and finally had the Supreme Grove au
thorize the establishment of such groves.
He presented tbe plan of organization
and upon that plan one or more groves
will be instituted in this city by him.

will soon be called by the officer named.

Genevleve Parlor paid a fraternal visit
last week to Piedmont Parlor, being chap
eroned by District Deputy Grand Presi
dent Mrs. R. Kemp Van Ee. At the close
of the meeting- there was an adjournment
to the banquet hall, where refreshments
were served.
In order to accommodate two of the
parlors the grand president has altered
dates of visitations. She will visit as fol
lows: Aleli Parlor, at Salinas, September
26; Santa Cruz Parlor, at Santa Cruz,
September 29; La Paloma Parlor, at Wat
sonvWe. October 1; Copa <Je Oro Parlor,
at Hollister, October 2: Gilroy Parlor will
be visited on either Friday or Saturday
following; Vendome Parlor, at San Jose,
October 6.
The grand president, accompanied by
the grand secretary. Laura J. Frakes, offi
cially viPited the parlor at Vallejo and the
one at Napa last week, and at the close
of the visit at each place the membership
of t:ach expressed its appreciation of the
valuable instruction that was Imparted by
the bead of the order and of the kindly
advice of the grand secretary.
Grand President Eliza D. Keith has, in
answer to a question, decided that com
mittees acting under the sanction of the
head of the order must confine themselves
to the work and purpose Tor which they
were -organized, and that having accom
plished the purpose for which they were
created, they cannot prolong their exist
ence and take up a new line of work;
that all projects calling for concerted
action among the subordinate parlors
must have the gTand presidents sanction:
further, that all ticket and entertainment
notices come under the general head of
"circulars." As the Grand Parlor consti
tution eays that the grand president has
the power to decide all questions of law,
order and practice, and that such deci
sions shall hold until the meelng of the
next Grand Parlor, it looks as If what the
gTand president says will be the law for
a while.
