centered about the harp selections. The
gracefulness of the harpists and their
group work showed careful training and
a love for their work in which they
were so much at ease. The yiohnist,
too, showed technique in her rendition
of Alteration, with piano accompani-
ment. An especially pleasing number of
the program of music was the old Irish
war march, by the harpists, In which
the soldier seemed to appear from the
distance, pass and disappear in the dis
tance. Miss Wilma Carter, who had an
extensive repertoire, rendered variety
to the program with two groups of
readings and song stories, her exposi-
lions being true to life.
The evening concert by the thinner
Carter Co. and the readings by Miss
Garter were fully appreciated by the
audience, who applauded enthusiastic
cally and each member of the company
always was ready with encore numbers
Miss Carter's reading, A Typical Ford
Family Out for Ride, caused much
merriment
After Superintendent Cook had an
| nounced the program for today he in
troduced the junior Chautauqua work
ers and after a few brief remarks by
| Miss Clapp and Captain Richer, Mr..
| Cook spoke briefly of DIR. Geisel, who
gave q eogent address on the subject,
Just You, or How to Live 100 Years,
which was comprehensive and ilHmin-
alive on the Importance of physical
reconstruction, not only to future gener-
ations but also to the safety of the ci-
vilized world
DR.. Geisel, who is connected with the
Battle Creek sanitarium, was perfect
| dynamo of power and she showed the
necessity of living more than ever be-
| fore, the efficient life, and she told how
to make the bodies and minds render
extraordinary service in these times OF
reconstruction. Her method of delivery
was refreshingly and impersonally sim
cere and free from affectation. She
I made no effort to force her theories
down the threats of her hearers, and
!, this was not necessary. Her talk was
one which appealed strongly to the
thinking mind.
Il ID. Geisel addressed herself particu-
larly to the middle aged man. She said
that upon their shoulders and upon the
, shoulders of their comrades of the Eng
lish speaking world rested the burden
of reconstruction, a period more dan
gerous than actual conflict and to
which great manpower was essential
