CAMBRIDGE PLEDGES
TICKETS TO ASSURE
FOURTH CHAuTAuQUA

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Aug. a.
The interest Of the community In the
chautauqua enterprise was shown by
the large and enthusiastic audiences
which greeted the entertainers and
lecturer on Sunday. and by the readi
ness with which tickets were pledged
to guarantee its continuance another
year. Although the price of season
tickets had been advanced from $1.5C
to $500, there was little difficulty in
disposing of the $50 tickets required
for the guarantee. Thee people seem
to be imbued with the chautauqua
spirit. feeling that the sessions have
proved great moral uplift to the
community. -.
The preludes to the sessions were
given by the Chicago grand opera
quintet. and consisted largely of sacred
songs, rendered in a pleasing manner.
The lectures of the day were
by DR.. Ira Landrith, president OF the
Ward Belmont college. Nashville, Ten.
nessee. He is an able and eloquent
speaker, who holds the attention of
his audience from start to finish. In
the afternoon he dwelt upon some OF
the evils which threatened the repub.
lie, and advocated strong peace
policy on the part of the government
His evening address was a plea for
moral education, purer homes and a
nobler manhood and womanhood.
The success of the chautauQua
during the three years it has been
carried on at this place, is due in a
large measure to the support given
it by the people of the neighboring
towns. The management recognizes
this fact, and duly appreciates the
patronage.

DR.. N. Cobb Lectures Before Wash.

Nematodes. forms of minute animal
| life, which infest the land, the sea and
exist as parasites on humans, animals

| illustrated lecture by DR.. N. A. Cobb
| of the Department of Agriculture be-
fore the Washington Academy of Sci.
ence at the New National Museum
Thursday afternoon
I'VE ought to take interest In uema
todes." declared DR.. Cobb, 'beca use
they infest all of us. It is beyond ques-
tion that complete knowledge of
! nematodes would save many millions
of dollars annually and a large amount
of suffering"
The number of species of nematodes
| runs into the hundred thousands DR..
Cobb declared. and the end is not in
sight yet. The popular idea that nem-
atodes are worms" merely, Is wrong,
DIR. Cobb explained. declaring that a
nematode really is no more a worm
than a rabbit"
The great Importance Of the neces-
sity of studying these anfmalculf was
urged by the speaker. He brought out
the fact that owing to the clarity of
nematodes study of their organs and
Ifunctionings Is of great benefit to sci
ence. He declared that the solution of
certain vex!ng problems in the science
Of heredity will probably come about
through the study Of the sex functions
of nematodes.

PAY OF RETIRED SURFMAN
RUNS THROUGHOUT YEAR
Active Men Are Paid Only for the
Work They Do, Explains
Controller Downey.

1T may seem odd that a retired surf
man is entitled to retired pay throughout
the year. comments George E. Downey,
controller of the Treasury whereas a
surfman on the active list is allowed pay
only during the active season: but such
seems to be the provision Of the statute"
Controller Downey SO decides a refer
ence from the Secretary Of the Treasury
In effect, 1t results in allowing retired pay
equal to three-quarters Of the active pay
at twelve times the monthly stipend. al
though few active surfmen do twelve
months work in year or receive pay for
such time.
Coast guard stations upon the Atlantic
or gulf coasts are open for active service
on August l each year and remain open
for active service until June l following.
Stations upon the lake coasts are manned
| from the opening to the close of naviga-
ton and few stations are kept open con-
| tinually, at the discretion Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
