THE CHAUTAUQUA OPENS TOMORROW:— In pointing out the purpose and good points of the program for the Community Chautauqua, which will] open in this city Ttiesday evening.! with the play production. “Three Wise Fools.” the general manager ofi the circuit summed up the program as follows: Community Chautauquas offer the i results of twelve months of intensive study for you and all who enter the , big tent. It is something bigger than i Chautauqua; something more than 1 six day s full of entertainment: some-1' thing more than plays, music, lectures. inspiration: something morel, than famous people, beautiful per- , sonages, gifted musicians—something ' more than ehautauqua as it has been. ■ With this 1921 Community Chau j tauqua program, a new importance'. for the whole ehautauqua plan looms. L The program, as you will discover has lost nothing. Peter has not been I robbed to pay Paul. Viewed purely]’ as any ehautauqua. it is the biggest value you've ever seen. Two fines plays. “Three Wise] Fools.” and Buddies.” And a little play i of Franz Schubert, Green’s Symphony] 1 band. Sheehan's Concert Party of vio- 1 lin. song and humor. Filipinos, na11 tive, in costume with their exotic mu L sic. Grand opera. “Aida.” with Its i Egyptian atmosphere, and costumes. The idylls of Schubert's music. Dane-11 bv all the audience!

Really great lectures on politics, international affairs, democracy. . vital problems, art. musk, home Charles D. Isaacson. George <’. Aydelott, AV. C. McCullough and Hon I Robe Carl White. That's a line up. itsn't it? But that Isn’t all. This program has the new Idea. What is that? To make everything that is offered part of a composite whole. If the] greatest man in the world had nothing to say on the program, he'd not I be of much service, merely being seen. If his subject matter wasn't vital to yon. he'd not last long. The goal of Community Chsutau qua Is not only to have its Individual speakers, artists, and offerings Interesting and vital, but part of a driving force that is the uuillvd entire program. You can see and bear any individual offering and It will be delightful, complete, whole. But If you bear all the program you will have a comprehensive, allcompete course Everything on this' year** program ha* It* relationship to! everything else.

Face to Face With John McE. Bowman The Biltmore “Mine Host” (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 1 In the old Holland House on Fifth 1 Avenue, I knew John McE. Bowman, when he had his dreams. In the few hours of rest accorded him in those old days when workers worked long hours, he was reading about hotels and hotel men and studying maps. Coming from his native city of Toronto. Canada. Howman started life in New York City with that initial "McE" which remains a dlslnctive share of his signature to tills day. he was determined to honor his ScotchIrish parents with real American fame. Today John McE. Bowman is in charge of six of the largest hotels in the world, entertaining over a million guests every year. Building a career constructively, he put himself in the place of the traveller coming to a strange city. IL- made inquiries of the best hotels and analyzed and compared his impressions when he 'arrived find when ho left. This has been the dominant idea of his life. | "The world is governed by Itnpressions." said John McE. Bowman reflectively. “and first impressions are i most lasting. The best hotel is the key to the city, for if it has the accommodations anil all the actual comforts. the guest will linger, if not. ho goes on. When he leaves ho will spread the tidings and become a booster, not only for the hotel but for the city. He will talk about it on i the train, in the shop and in the office. Impression* are as far-reachine I ar ripples on the water " Dining ‘*ie war John McE. Bow man was made chief of the hotel, restaurant, dining car and steamship division of the United States Food ] Administration. The people have much for which to thank him in balancing the rations and distributing the food under Mr. Hoover’s reigulations. • In his public service John McE I I Bowman is controlled by the samel ideas he uses in his own business. “Good will is easy to get at the I [start, anil just as easy to lose —the] only way to keep it is by eternal . I vigilance. The public representing ! a thousand cyeg Is constantly on the alert, and.the hotel trade must be I ready for an Xray in every corner.” The Biltmore is. well, just the Hilt I more. That is all. A word that me ins [ the best money can buy when one Is ’ away from home. Therein lies the

Now for the aujiienees and the entire town. Result* Not only entertainment, but a great, deep, united activity for definite gains. Asa G. Candler, millionaire founder of the Coco Cola company, has always been a constant user of advertising and to a great extent built his erontnous business through the aid of printer's ink. The way the old foggy has been acting up within recent years convinces many that he still believes In publicity, bls latest adventure belns a suit for divorce from his young stenographer wife. It beats the dickens how some of these fellows insist on sewing their wild oats when they are old enough to be a great grandfather and If the soft drink king doesn't look out. someone wll relieve him of a few millions before he dies.

He believes the public appreciate the beat, and his judgment has been confirmed. Observing that his guests wanted to play golf during their stay in NewYork. but could not play on Fifth Avenue or -any vacant lots nearby, young McE. Bowman conceived th--of building the Westchester Country Club. It is the last word, for when John McE. Bowman builds ho holds toward the superlative. Here thousands of guests gather with the feeling that the Westchester-Bilt-more Club, with its great golf course and expansive country estate, is th -ir own country home with the many worriments of management eliminated. A Biltmore Hotel is now as much a matter of pride to any City as an auditorium or an opera house. The . Biltmore signifies th- superlative in I Log Angeles, across the continent, as I well as in the Atlanta in the Routh. John McE. Bowman ami Biltmore are synonymous. In his executive capacity he soon won the <ont!dence of men of iarg.- affairs because he knew how to manage others. Hr works with a quiet intensity and inspires others all along the line to think and do their best. A m -nu ry , for nanw-s and faces that is marvelom. he never seems to forget a favor.

J one of the greatest political conventions ever held in the country. We knew that the heavy ruins were delaying farm work and injuring the corn already planted, but along comes a fellow in New York saying that the rains and wet weather have decreased the number of weddings In New York City by into during the month of May. as compared with the same month last year. The marriage clerk gave many reasons why the bride-to-be did not wish to march to the altar daring a rainy month, which Is one way answer* the reason for blaming everything on the weather.

Monroe St The Lesson of Economy The principle of conservation, through efficient management and rigid economy, is so ingrained in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as to be fundamental to the operation of this business. Years ago, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) learned that the only way to keep a big business , on a thoroughly efficient plane is to plug up the small leaks. Accordingly, painstaking attention was given to ways and means of overcoming wasteful details, unimportant and inexpensive in themselves, but taken as a whole assuming enormous proportions. The practice of economy is thoroughly grounded in the personnel of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and has profoundly influenced the activities of the Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the unquestioned pioneer of conservatun methods in tne oil business. Back of every important innovation made by this Company stand these questions: “Does .his change improve the quality and service?—Does it effect a saving ? ” For example, the famous Burton Cracking Process now in general use was originated to conserve the supply of petroleum -to produce a greater percentage of gasoline from crude ol without in any wav affecting the qualitv of lubricating oils ana other primary products. The Burton Cracking Process has increased largely the yield of gasoline from a barrel crude, thereby exerting a marked influence in keeping the price of gasoline low. Conservation led to the erection of farmsoi steel tanks - to insure a constant supply of crude petroleum—to enable the refiner to reduce his cost bv continuous operations —- to store the finished product without undue loss from evaporation. Conservation again was back of the establish* ment of pipe lines, because they were the most economical method of transporting oil. The conservation idea led finally to the' vast distribution system which covers the ten Middle Western States and carries petroleum product s from the refineries of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to farms, factories and individual users, everywhere. The practice of economy and conyrva* ion has been a potent force in developing the splendid system which this Company oners to the thirty million people of the Middle West.
