C HAUTAUQUA HAS BIO ATTRACTIONS FOR THIRD DAY

Tht- DeLuchi Mediterranean Mu. sicians entertained a large crowd of Greencastle Community Chautauqua patrons Saturday afternoon with their musical novelty program. Music costumes and draperies were the fea. tures of the afternoon. Following a musical prelude by the Mediter. raean Musicians, Denton C. Crowl will give the lecture of the third day tonight-

Denton C. Crowl is a two fisted talker—the kind oD man who looks you in the eye and tells you the truth about yourself and you like hii» for it His lecture "The Spirit of ser. vice ”is a welding of hard hitting, unbending truths about your respon. sibilities and service to your neigh, borhood, your community and your country Mr. Crowl is o n the editor, ial staff of the Toledo Blade, De. troit Journal and Newark, N. J., Star Eagle, and both his writings and his lectures are looked upon as hammer blows for or against the important questions. An audiene never forgets Denton Crowl. The burning satire, keen humor and absolute truth of his ar. gments leave a mark on every com. munity. This “Scenic Sam Jones” will give his lecture tonight. In size he is small—in thought action

«

and accomplishment he is big. He tells the truth whether you like it or not and like as not you'll like itAt ^he opening of the chautauqua Friday night. H. J Kurtz superin. tendent, introdued Richard Corya, assistant superintendent who in turn introduced W D. Dickens tent man. Mr. Corya lives in Indianapolis and is a student of Butler College Mr. Dicken’s home is in Dana, Indiana He is a student of the Indiana State

Normal school.

On introducing the Omar Wilson Singers. Superintendent Kurtz, ex. plained that DePauw students of this group have already given the insti. tutio n wide and favorable publicity by their singing on the chautauqua platform. The singers were greet, ed with great applause Mark Bills, a popular DePauw base ball and basket ball player sang the baritone prts for the quartet. Miss Marthalynn Trippeer and Mr. Bills received many encores following their special costume number. Miss Trip, peer is a former DePauw student and teacher in thet DePauw school of Music. One of the outstanding fea. tures of the night program was Miss Trippeer’s solo’s accompanied by the male chorus. Miss Trippeer is a coloratura soprano and pianist. Miss Naomi Gumm, did excellent work as accompanist during last night’s musical prelude. Other mem bers of the Company are Loren Wil. son, leader and seconj tenor and a brother of Omar Wilson; Fred John son, first tenor and Earl Anderson,

bass.

Following the musical prelude, Louis Williams gave his lecture dem onstration ,“The Wonders of Electri. city ” Truly he showed the wonders of electricity to the audience in such a simple common way that every, one could understand them He is a scientist.lecturer and his experi. nients are as startling as the idus. ions of a magician. Beginning with the earliest his. tory of electricity. Mr Williams de. monstrated and explained the pro. gress i n the developement of the uses of the mysterious "fluid” down to the present day. and gave a glimpse into the future in the way of a one rail ear which scientists say will come into practical use Electricity was produced by fric. tion before the time of Christ, Mr. Williame said It was not until 1500 A. D., he’ said, that a German developed a machine which wfculj pro duce electricity by friction. This was the rotary static machine commonly used by lightning rod peddlers, he

said.

Production of electricity by mag. netism and also by chemical action were then explained by Mr. Williams Along with the explanations, Mr. Wil liams gave demonstrations of how electricty could be produced by mag. netism and by chemical action Carbon dioxide gas was used by Mr Williams in some of his ex. periments. He demonstrated how readily an unventilated room be. comes filled with the poisonous heavy gas. He also showed how it might be dipped out in wells which are said to have "Black Damp” in them Using hrydroge n gas, Mr. Williams gave one of the most interesting dem onstrations of the evening. By the use of it he changed the sound of the voice of William Jones a h^al man in the audience who volunteered for the experiment. He recited the poem “Mary Had A Little Lamb” before and after taking the gas which pro. duced an amusing change in his

voice.

Later Mr Jones and Wilbur Schmidt volunteered for an electrical experiment in which they were sub.

ject to enough electricity to light a bulb and set fire to paper. They withstood the experiments, saying in most cases, that they did not feel the electricity. In closing Mr Williams told the audience that he was here nine years ago with the Lincoln Chautauqua. At that time he said he made the ac. quintance of the late Dr. John P. D. John whom he praised very highly. MONDAY

Greencastle children who have been attending the Junior Chautauqua entertained the local assembly Mon. day afternoon with their pageant "The Cruise of the Jollity”. Miss Susan Brown of Swayzee, Indiana, director of of the juniors, supervised the giving of the entertainment. “The Cruise of the Jollity” is the story of a make believe journey which some sailors take to the Is. land of the Su n and the Island of the Moon. There are a variety of sailors the good natured Captain Jolly, Pirate Pete, Buccaneer Bill Dudley the Dude, Sea Scouts, etc. In just the same spirit with which all sailors and pirates relate their fish stories, so there sailors relate theirs after which they line up for manhandling. The first scene ends with the well known sailing chorus. The second scepe opens at the Is. land of the Moon. Here we find the sailors amazed anj delighted to see the charming but thirsty moon flow, ers- They are not thirsty long, however for the kindly moon gardener revives them with a cool drink from his sprinkling can. Then they are happy and skip away to gladden the hearts of the moon children TTIen i n the distance apepars the moon children who with the aid of the moon goddess sing softly for the

sailors

In scene three the sailors are found on the Island of the Sun The army of the sun—a small but mighty army immediately appears in a military drill. Followihg them comes the god gess of the sun dignified personage of no little importance. A number of little rain dogs “fall” upon the deck but true to nature the sun. beams follow- the rain and drive them

away.

er played the accompaniment. Following the musical prelude, Mrs. Louise L McIntyre delivered her lecture on “Keeping in Trim”. She not only told the audience how to keep in trim, but showed its mem bers by various exercises which all were asked to perform together in the tent to the rythm of music played by rMs. Stringer. She has been practicing and preach ing the relation of good health to good work for the past fourteen years Mrs. McIntyre mixed her hints and directions with smiles and hu. mor. Mrs. McIntyre has been asked to return to Winona Lake three tim. es to deliver lectures on health. She was asked to return to Crown Point

f

Indiana this fall to deliver a series of lectures on health. She delivered her first one there this summer with the Chautauqua She has promised to return at the close of the seasonDenton C. Crowl of Detroit Mich ,

• •

held the chautauqua audience Satur. day night with his attractive and in. teresting lecture on “The Spirit of Service.” He is a two fisted talker— the kind of a man who looks you in the eye, tells you the truth about yourself—and you like him for it "The Spirit of Servfce” is a weld, ing of hard hitting unbending truths about your responsibilities and service to your neighborhood, your community and your country. Mr Crowl is on the editorial staff of the Toledo Blade, Dertoit Journal and Newark, N. J. Star.Eagle and both his writings and his lectures are looked upon as hammer blows for or against important questions The De Luchi Mediterranean Musicians gave a musical prelude to Mr. Crowls

lecture Saturday night-

Quartet,

The Filipino has a music with a charm all its own, anj he plays some of this music on instruments that are peculiarly his own. To these are added American stringed instruments which supplements the varied and fascinating entertainment of the fif. th day. In addition to an enjoyment of it all, the audience carrier away a better understanding of the Philip,

pine people

Previous to the closing lecture of the Greencastle chautauqua this ev. ening the Philippine quartet will give an instrumental concert. DrC. W. Wassam of the faculty of Iowa State University will deliver the last lecture of the chautauqua on

LONDON, July 22.—A meeting of the dominion premiers was called hurriedly this afternoon to consider, it is understood, a reply received from Washington t >day to representa tions by the British government re lative to postponing the disarma. ment conference to some date later than Nov 11 The meeting was pri vate an,} there has been no indication of the nature of the Washnigton re.

ply.

WASHINGTON, July 22—Unless checked by unexpected developements at Tokio the United States govern, ment it was believed today will act without further loss of time in per. fecting its plan for a conference of the principal powers on limitations of armament and far eastern sub. jects. , The extent to which Japan is will, ing to participate in the discussions is understood to be under considera. tion at a meetnig of the advisory council and there appeared to be rea son to believe that the Japanese statesmen would reach a decision favorable to a discussion of ques. tions arising out of the Orient, al. though, perhaps with certain reser. vations. Discussed by Cabi n et Until the position of Japan has been more clearly defined, it appeared im. probable, however that formal invita tions would be sent to the various governments. It is known that the proposed conference was mentioned at the Cabinet meeting but it is un. derstood not to have been discussed to great extent.

SHIPPING BOARD SEIZES FIVE BIG STEAMSHIPS

o -

NEW YORK, July 22.—Five of the largest and finest steamships in the United States merchant marine which haj been chartered to the United States Mail Steamship Company, were seized tonight by representat. ives of the United States Shipping Board because of an alleged violation

of contract.

The seized vessels ,all ex.German

It has been frequently noticed in this vicinity that touring hazards in the country are almost as numer. ous «s they are in the city streets and it is announced by the Hoosier Auto mobile Association that these condi. tions exist and are increasing rapid, ly in rural communities all over Indiana. Because of this the auto, mobile asociation has isued a set of “dont’s” which if followed, will materially reduce accidents at road itnersectio and prevent the many fatalities that are being reported The “dont’s” follow: 1. Don’t go sailing through a blind country intersection at full speea. Slow down to a control speed. It is not sufficient to sound your horn Another car may be speeding along the intersecting road You take your life in your hanj everytime to violate this injunction. 2. Don’t turn corners rapidly, either in city, town or country. Give the other fellow a chance, always. 3. Don’t take it for granted that no one else is approaching around the corner. Automobiles are too thick now in Indiana to bank on that

chance

Don’t try to hog the center of the road If the fellow behind wants to go around you, lay over. Above all do not attempt to do any racing. The State Highway Commission issues a warning that many of its highways have a soft “shoulder ’’and if the driver gets over too far on this shoulder his car is liable to slip off into the ditch 5 Don’t fail to slow down f o 10 or 12 miles an hour in passing ”nrough in corpora^ed towns ai:0 ot_ :os and close your mufiler. It woull be better is you keep that muffler ->-ed all the time. 6. Don’t fail to dim your lights in meeting another car at night. See to it that your lights are not “cocked up” or askew, but in straight' line and down on the road. Don’t count o n so called lens dimmers protecting the other fellow- the most of them fail

to do this.

7 Don’t fail to slow down when you come to fresh or nearly fresh gravel The undertakers are w-axing fat on the failure to observe this com mon sense rule. “Finally,” says the bulletin re. member to drive sensibly and with a Christianlike respec.t for the other fellow. The city of Wabash Ind., has a splendid idea in its signs on main entering streets which read: ‘City Limits; Drive Sensible.’ If motor, ists will just drive sensibly the maj. or part of the traffic troubles every, where in city, town or country, would he eliminated and many lives w-ould be saved annually.” The Hosier State Automobile Assoc iation also calls attention of town ship trustees to the fact hat a new law requires them to see to it that ob struction to the view at road inter, sections arer emoved and that all shrubbery, hedges, trees, etc., are trimmed so a view of the cross road may be obtained It is urged that motorists everywhere insist that their township trustee get busy now and comply with this law which was secured through thei nfluence of the state auto associaiton. “This is but another evidence of our protective work for automobile owners, declar es M. E Noblet, Secretary “What we nee,j now is more members coj| operating with our work in every sec tion of the state. The motorists need u*; we need them, for in greater org anization much more civic and in. dividual work can be accomplished.
