CLOSE OF CHAUTAUQUA
DUNBAR SISTERS AND HUMOR-
IST JONES LAST NUMBERS.
Annual Educational Institution Con-
sidered Decided Success
Throughout the Week.

The Dallas chautauqua for 1914, one
of the most successful series Of enter
tainments ever given in this coast
country, closed last night with a
scream. The program announced
Thursday as "Joy Night but com
paratively few people understood the
extent of the joy or the nature thereof.
The Dunbar Singing Orchestra gave
one of the most varied and pleasing
entertainments of the entire week.
Mrs. Dunbar is not only musician
of marked ability, but she is versa
tile reader and impersonator, and kept
her hearers in the best Of humor
throughout the Dunbar hour.
S. Platt Jones, the poet-humorist,
grabbed the big audience the moment
he appeared upon the platform and
made merry with it for an hour or
more. His impersonations, and his
sallies of wit an humor, were highly
pleasing.
His first stunt was to play practical
joke on his audience by speaking as
if with the greatest effort on account
of a severe cold. He informed the au-
dience that he had caught cold and
asked them to bear with him; that he
would entertain them the best he
could. Had he continued it much
longer some of his listeners would
have become true victims of the joke

and left the tent in disgust, but speak
ing out vociferously he announced that
his physician had found that his right
lung was all right and that he would
use that one only. He gave a char
acterization of Teddy Roosevelt, as a
young lad, delivering defamation
also a Characterization of declamer
that had bad case of influenza. These
two numbers, together with his school
boy stunt, were perhaps the most en-
joyed, but others received almost
equal applause.
The final lecture of the week was
given yesterday afternoon, when DIR.
Charles l.. Seasholes delivered mast
erful discourse on "Brains and the
Bible" 1t was a scholarly and scien-
tific discussion of the bible and what
it stands for, and a strong defense
of the book.
As whole the chautauqua program
was strong throughout the week.
While there were some disappoint-
ments, there were an even greater
number of pleasant surprises. The
Ellison-W chautauqua system car
ried out their part of the contract to
furnish high-class lectures and enter
tainments, and it will be learned with
no small degree of satisfaction and
pleasure that Dallas will have its
third chautauqua under this system
next year. OF the sixty-six cities in
which Ellison-W White talent appeared
this season, Dallas is the smallest in
point of population, yet 1t gave better
support to this educational undertake
ing than did several of the much
larger places. 1t is entirely to the
credit of the community.

PRIVACY NOW ASSURED
LISTENING TO NEIGHBORS' CON-

Invention of Wonderful Little Indi-
Gator Places Kibosh on Butting
in on Party Telephone Lines.

The good old evening entertainment
of "listening in" on the telephone
line on rural party telephone is soon
to be thing of the past, an indicator
having been invented that points out
to the whole line just who the fel-
low is that's s butting in.
elbow does this indicator tell who
is butting in?"
Why, by means of musical notes.
Every telephone is to be equipped with
an indicator. Every indicator is
equipped with a disc with teeth. This
is set in motion the moment the re-
ceiver is taken off the hook. The
teeth on the disc pick musical notes
from keynote tongues in the instru-
ment. The high and low notes corre-
spond to the short and long rings
peculiar to the telephone that is be-
ing tampered with. Thus, if Bill
Jones ring is short and two longs,
and you are talking business and sud
denly hear a high and two low notes
over the wire you will know that Bill
Jones is rubbering in'' on your bus
mess.
"Bill Jones, you get off that line"
you can shout to him. 1t is then op-
tional with Bill whether he will get off
the line or fight you a French duel
the next time you meet him. But you
have the dope on him.
But the indicator does even more
wonderful things than this. In the
first place, when you call Sam Smith
with Smith s two short and two long
rings Smith takes down his receiver
and Immediately you hear two high
and two low musical notes in your re-
ceiver You know at once it is Smith
and not that butinsky Jones, who is
at the other end. You go ahead to
talk business.
Then the indicator gauges the length
of. the conversation, so that one may
comply with the rules of the company.
When the receiver comes off the hook
it sets the Indicator into operation.
AT the end of four minutes it runs
down. Then it automatically discon-
meets you. That s a hint that you
have talked long enough for mere
visit. If it is business, however, and
you want to prolong the conversation
all you have to do is to press down
the lever and the spring is wound
up for another four minutes. Again,
by this means one can tell just how
long he is using the long-distance
phone and does not need to watch the
clock or ask central to call him down
when he talks too long.
The indicator will also register the
of hours in the day, the
month, or year, the phone is used in
a given home. The time when the
receiver is removed and replaced is
registered so that it is nossible to tell
how long the average
on a given phone has
been. This is of immense advantage
to the trouble man when the patrons
deny they ever did anything but obey
all the rules scrupulously. He looks
at the indicator and reads the entire
history of the use and abuse of that
phone. Then he talks from know
ledge to the persons complaining of
trouble,

County News Is Light.

The Observers county correspon-

attending chautauqua, or preparing

lively few have sent in their regular

a large number of readers in their
respective localities who depend upon
them for weekly letter concerning
the happenings in their section. Or
dinarily the columns of this paper
represent all sections of Polk county,
and this absence of news is notice
able. But this is the vacation season,
