Chautauqua Program

The people Of Scotland and vicinity
have been enjoying the annual treat
of five days Of Chautauqua programs,
beginning on Sunday afternoon and
closing this evening. That the Chau-
tauaua habit. which is a good one, is
becoming q a.fixed one here was evi-
denced by the fact that, altho large
number of orr young men are absent
and it is ansextremely busy time for
the farmers. the crowds at the tent
are about as large as usual.
The opening performance on Sum
day afternoon consistedof musical
prelude by the College Girls and a
lecture by Sergeant John FIahiff of
the Princess Pat regiment. The
lecture was highly interesting because
the speaker was man who had
and experienced all the phases Of this
war and was able to gve us first hand
pictures OF army life. Sergeant Fla
hff went from Chicago; his home, to
Canada in the beginning of the war,to
enlist in the Canadian ARMY and be
recruited into the sfamohs &. Princess
Patss' regiment Wfiich' had won such
renown in France and which is proud
to have sustained the rstord Of never
having given up an insh Of ground to
the Hun. He has been three: years
in active service, with ssven months
in the front line trenches, has served
as stretcher bearer, and in listening
posts and in the machine gun or su-
icide, battalion. = He has been in this
county for. several months as a conva-
lescent after having been gassed, but
like all the others who. have had q
taste Of its:l he III: restless to be back
in The sefyicesand he ID so far recov-
cred 90 to be able to return ia Sep
Member when: he wills reenlist With
Etbe rank Of Let Lieutenant. His talk
was chiefly summary OF his own ex-
reriehees which are typical Of those
Of the average soldier.
The afternoon prelude and the ev-
ening concert given by the College
Girls Company was somewhat Of q
disappointment, being far below the
talent which the Redpath Vawter
people usually send out. Their seIec-
tions were mostly patriotic. The alto
solos and several Of their quartettes
were good.
b The afternoon program on Monday
consisted OF q Crayon Talk by Miss
Evelyn Bargelt in which she gave
readings and representations, humor-
ous and otherwise, which she illns-
trated with crayon sketches. Miss
Bargelt has very friendly. : winning

The lecture that evening was by
Gov. George A. Carlson Of Colorado,
on the The Price Of Progress. I. He
was governor Of Colorado during the
time Of the serious labor troubles in
the Colorado mines. and he had an op.
portunity to study the labor question

suggestions regarding the regulation

Plan Appropriate Marking
of Spot Where Washington
Crossed Delaware River

The project for marking the spot
where Washington crossed the Della
ware as reached by stage in both
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 1t
first gained real shape seven or eight
years ago, when the Washington's
Crossing Park commission of New Jer-
sey prepared a plan for a grandiose
memorial. Land was to be acquired
on each side of the river laid off into
fine parks. and a splendid memorial
bridge built. The commission actu-
ally spent some $4,000 in buying 100
acres on the New Jersey shore To
its powers the state department of
conservation have now succeeded and
they propose more modest memorial
The 100 acres should be sold, the
house of the Ferryman McConkey, who
supplied the patriot army with boats,
should be bought and restored, and the
entrance from the river to the old
Pennington road should be marked
with an arch This will cost nothing
like the $25O.O0O original outlay, and
$4,000 annual maintenance required
for the original plan Meanwhile a
commission has been appointed to
canvass the possibility of acquiring
land at Taylorville. Pa, to be develop
ed as park to mark the starting point

With Queue Custom Passe,
Shanghai Doctor Predicts
Chinese May Raise Boards

Most of us have wondered why the
Chinaman, in distinction from other
men. does not grow beard. OF course,
some members of the race who belongs
to the male persuasion are exceptions
to the rule. But the great majority of
Cinnamon have no hair upon the face.
DR.. A NJ. Dunlap of Shanghai. who
has given considerable time to the
subject, holds that the old Chinese
custom Of wearing queues consumed
all of the energy provided by nature
for the raising of hair. And now that
the queue is out of fashion, Doctor
Dunlap thinks that boards may begin
to grow. Writing in an American med
zeal journal of recent date, he tells
some very interesting things about
the Chinese barber. the styles In hair.
etc.

Manchu invention-the queue has Gre
ated a new class of modern BARRIERS.

of old China has passed. with his prac-
tees, which remind us of these Oc-
cidental BARRIERS In ancient time. Even
in as enlightened a city as Shanghai
they are constantly to be seen on the
