The Company is composed Of the
Davis Sisters and Mr.. Latowsky. The
young ladies have made quite an ex-
ceptional record as vocalists, instru-
mentalists, and readers and rightly
deserve the name Of entertainers.
Their program offerings are very at
tractive. Mr.. Latowsky is not only
"a violinist, who succeeds in pleasing
his audiences, but is possessed of
tenor voice Of good quality and vol
umn and rather unique ability to play
on large number of instruments.
With such combination the posi-

Thought Provoking Title For Chau.
tauqua Address
Although Mr.. George G. Click is
one of the professors at the Uni.
versity OF Minnesota, he is often re-
ferred to as Russian orator be-
cause Of his Russian origin. Be
cause OF necessity, he is what some
people call self made man., having
fled from Russia to save his life. He
knows from bitter experience with
his own people just what it means to
be slave Of Tradition" and also
what it means to be emancipated from
such slavery. While this is mas
terly, thought-provoking address, it
is so full of human interest and pa
thos that it grips an audience from
the first word to the last with an in
tensity of interest not often equaled
at ChautauQua.

ington Rumor.

Washington. March 21-The latest
appointment gossip brings a brand new
name into the diplomatic field. IL is
rumored that William Randolph Hearst
is being considered for the Ambassador
shin to Italy.
The rumor is not explicit as to
whether the editor is an aspirant or
if the suggestion comes from the ap-
pointing side or even II some mutual
friend is responsible. Mr. Harding
is conscious Of a great obligation to
Mr. Hearst who. he believes. infIu-
enced many Democratic votes in his
direction.
President Harding. il is believed
would like to do something for the editor
to make amends for having appointed
MIR. Hearsts two pet aversions 10 the
Cabinet. Secretary Of State Hughes, who
defeated Nj. Hearst for the New York
Governorship, and Secretary Of Com
merce Hoover.
II is quite possible that Mr.. Hard
ing would like TO attach Mr. Hearst
perrua nently TO the Republican Party.
White House officials last night de-
clared that so far as they are aware
there is no truth in the report that
Mr.. Hearst has asked for the position Of
