: abundantly be worth while.
, The evening is given up to the en-.
, tertainment features in the big audi
, torium and the great array of the best
talent this year proves to be a big
attraction for the pupils of the en-
campment
The boys are under strict military
discipline and enjoy thoroughly the
drill and regularity required.
Some little idea of the excellence
and variety of the programs offered
may be obtained by looking over this
daily curriculum for the boys. An
equally full and varied program is Of
fered for the girls.
Old swimmin' HoIe-Safety First
Careful and painstaking provision
has been made this year for those of
natatorial tendencies. The old swim
min hole has been revised, safeguard
ed and made ready for all who love a
dip in the waves. New life preservers
of the best design are conveniently To-
Gated along the banks, and life guards
are on duty at all times to watch
against accidents. How faithful these
guards is evidenced by discovery the
scribe made yesterday, when he found
that one of the guards had been on
duty from 700 a. m. to 800 p. m.
rather than go home for dinner, when
his helper, through some misunder-
standing failed to relieve him.
To the equipment for safety has
been added a pulmoter, ready at a
moments notice for emergency use.
Glasses for instruction in swimming,
diving and life saving will be organ
lied at once and under the competent
instructions secured for this branch
of the Chautauqua work, the river
promises to be the popular rendeze-
vous for the lover of the athletic. Lat
er on in the week it is planned to have
a period of water sports including rae
ing, fancy swimming and so fourth.
Carl Bublitz, of this city is among
the instructors.
| Miss stearns Gives Fine Address
Following the prelude given by the
Brahms quartet, Miss Lutte Stearns,
of Milwaukee, gave very practical
address on the "Seven Problems of the
Times" There were, said the speaker,
"the problems of labor, liquor, race,
war, women, public leisure and popu'
lar government"
With laborers working IL hours
day and seven days week at Bethle-
hem, Pa, and other places, with the
labor conditions of Colorado as they
are, we are. far from an ideal condi-
tion of affairs in the labor world.
Referring to the liquor problem Miss
Stearns stated that beginning with
January 1, 1916, 1S states would be
dry. The great Pabst brewery, of Mil
waukee last year had it's dividends re-
duced by over $3,OOO,OOO and has now
gone into the manufacture of soft
drinks only.
Racial antipathies are too much in
evidence. Negroes are segregated, jap
anese do only menial labor, and Leo
Frank becomes the victim of a bitter
race hatred. .s. ..-.... ... .. ..
/ The speaker gave great praise to
President Wilson and William Jen-
nings Bryan for the part they have
played in keeping tnIs nation out of
war; She humorously referred to their
attitude as Mexican tango, one step
forward, two backward, side step and
Hesitation.
In relation to the woman problem,
Miss Sterns stated that all that the
women desire is an opportunity to help
along with reforms and good govern
ment.
The problem of popular government
/. is difficult one. Shall we be govern
ed by large group of men or shall we
resort to the idea as embodied in the
! Galveston form of city government or
the Dayton type of city manager.
Public leisure was declared to be the
most pressing of all problems. What
we do in the leisure moments is the
determining factor in life. The speak
er advocated the more extended use
of the public school plant and sug-
gested for the smaller places the use
of Edison's new safety moving pic
lures as splendid form of entertain
ment.
Jones, Of Rock, Entertains
Mr.. George P. Jones. states attor-
ney, appeared on the program Mon
day afternoon and entertained the au-
dience with a choice group of serious
and humorous readings. Mr.. Jones

in the week, but was suddenly called
on to contribute his share Of enter
h tainment yesterday. Not wishing to
