ATTRACTION
coeuRN PLAYERS GIVE FIRST
CLASS ENTERTAINMENT AT
LOOP PARK LAST NIGHT.

One OF the most delightful entertain.
ments ever given In this city was the
presentation OF the famous Coburn
players OF the Shakespearean comedy
"The Tanning OF the shrew" last even.
ing at Loop Park.
Several hundred people we're out for
the attraction and the play pleased the
entire audience The only thing to
mar tie evening were the two showers
which came up during the perform.
ance but even this failed to take the
attention or detract from the enjoy.
ment Of the evening.
The Coburn players are without ex.
ceptio1 artists in their respective roles
and the manner In which the entire
production was staged and handled
was ideal. The costumes worn were
elaborate and elegant and the natural
setting TO the stage. etc. added to the
beauty OF the scene depicted during
the performance. Each player is en-.
.ItleG TO special mention, however the
mair interest centered about the
Shrew played by Mrs. Coburn and her
husband played by Mr.. Coburn. These
parts were splendidly taken and every.
thing In the roles brought out to the
very best advantage.
The affair as whole was an artis.
tic success and will long be remem-
bered by those SO fortunate as to wit
ness Il last evening. The Ceburn play
ers are gifted singers and their rendi
tion OF several songs behind the cur.
tafns during the performance brought
forth much applause.
Loop Park presented beautiful ap-
pearahce last evening and despite the
rain The entire evening was one OF
pleasure.
The Normal school, under whose
supervision the play was given, will
realize neat sum. The school Is TO
be congratulated on bringing such an
attraction TO this city.

Will IMPROVE
FIRST N. E. CHURCH
CHURCH BOARD MET, LAST
EVENING AND DECIDED ON
IMPROVEMENT OF EDiFrCE ON
ACCOUNT OF THE MANY NEW
MERsERs COMING INTO FOLD.

On account or many new members
that have already entered the First
Methodist church and the large num-
Der expecting to join soon, the church
board decided to make numerous i'm
provements and additions to the. edi-
flee in order to accommodate the in
creased membership.
An important meeting Of the board
was held last evening in the church
parIors and was largely attended by
the members of the board. 1t was an
nounced that 100 new members were
added to the church roll last Sunday
and that as many more were expect
ed to join in the near future so that
accommodations for the whole con-
gregatfon would be necessary
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. White have
offered to subscribe the sum of $5,-
900 toward a fund to be used for
church Improvement provided the
church membership can settle upon
some definite plan for such church
improvement which will be satisfac-
tory to the church in general.
A committee OF trustees was APP
pointed and will get together in the
near future to devise some plan for
the suggested improvement. A report
OF the trustees will be submitted to
the church board at its next regu-
lar meeting.

MEASURES WHISKER.
OF A MOSQUITO.
INSTRUMENT OF ASTONISHING
ACCURACY SHOWN IN THE DIS
PLAY OF CHALMERS PARTS Elk
HIRIT AT THE sALEsRooM ON
N. p. AVENUE.

When a mar wants to mention just
about the smallest thing in the world,
he says it's as big as a mosquitoes
whisker.
In the Chalmers parts exhibit which
is nov being shown in the salesroom of
the Gate City Auto Co., 324 N. P. ave-
nue., are pine instruments which "a
measure things smaller than a mos
quito's whisker. And, what's more,
they do measure finer than a mosque
to's whisker in the building of Chal-
mers cars. The factory expert who is
with the exhibit shows how it's done.
There are some transmission gears,
for instance, which + ground so fine
as to make a mosquitoes whisker look
as big as a saw log. After being cut
on wonderful automatic machines,
which, by the way, are shown in
pictures, these gears are heat treated,
hardened and ground to an accuracy OF
one-half OF one one-thousandth of an
Inch.
For your own Information, try to
work it out with your desk ruler. The
inch is probably divided as fine as one
sixteenth. Now divide that little space
LIS times-and that's how finely Chal-
mers gears are ground. Where's the
mosquitoes whiskers now?
Some of the gauges used in testing
automobile parts are made In Europe;
some are made in this country. But
wherever they are made, their manu-
facture Is almost entitled TO be called
an art. Making these wonderful meas
uring devices is a business which has
gone through generations from father
to son. In Europe there are some
towns whose entire male population
makes these microscopically fine
gauges.
These are the measurements which
go into a weiI-buflt motor car and give
1t quietnesa, srnootllness OF operation
and long life.
No watch could be more accurately
built than q high grade motor car; and
one appreciates that fact fully after
giving a little study to the Chalmers
exhibit.
Over 100 Of the working parts of q
car compose the display and the fac
tory man shows how each part is bulls
