Chautauqua In The Hands OF
Receivers

The Swarthmore Chautau-
qua Association has gone to
the wall. Radios, automobiles
and good roads have caused the
Association to fold it's tents
and abandon it's activities.
The Association, one of the
best known organizations of
it's kind, made an assignment
last week for the benefit of it's
creditors, in the the Delaware
County Courts, at Media, Pa.
Edward F. Hitchcock, a lawyer
of Swarthmore, was named as
assignee.
The petition cites that the
changes in modern life, includ-
ing the entertainment brought
into rural homes by the radio,
have steadily cut down the at
tendance at Chautauquas. Re-
ceipts last year were so low, it
was said, that it was deemed
advisable to end the company
and abandon the annual tours
this year.
Chautauqua was held in Ris-
ing Sun for several seasons,
but in recent years the attend
+ance had been so poor that the
guarantors each year had an
increasingly large deficit to
face, and the attempt to sign
for this year met with failure.

Whatever happened to the money
remaining from a campaign never
has been revealed-but the unini-
tiateS always are told that all of the
money was spent in the campaign.
County employees will be asked to
contribute $4,000 to the budget. No
assessment figure has been divulged,
but probably 1t will total about 5
per cent Of years salary.
Many clerks, it was learned, will
refuse to contribute, giving as their
excuse that the assessment is too
high. Some feel that with the party
chances looking rather slim this
year, it simply will be throwing
away money to donate to the cam
paign-inasmuch as their jobs will
be gone after Jan. 1, anyhow.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16-Like an aged
seafarer clinging close to the oceans
edge, Clarence Darrow lives in retire
ment, watching the amending surge of
life with eyes unafraid of death and
thoughts disbelieving in life hereafter.
Now and then it appears that he will
be caught in the tide and carried into
one OF the moving court dramas that
made him famous.
But barrow himself says mo" as he
lounges comfortably in companionable
chair in his old-fashioned apartment.
Il am past 70, you know, and the strain
of a prolonged trial would be too much"
Uncurtained widows give barrow
far view upon the world. He looks out
over the Midway's trees and lawns now
changing colors as autumn brightenS
pleasant prospect.
Down the midway on one hand he
views the Gothic structures of the Uni
versity of Chicago and on the other the
waters of Lake Michigan extending to a
dim horizon.
Before him, some miles beyond the
Midway to the north, he beholds the
towers and skyscrapers of the loop, and
conterlplates in silence the human forces
swirling in that malestrom of speed and
harsh and strident noises.
Il have lived in this place for more
than twenty years; like it very WELL" he
says contentedly.
The. elevator that creeps up to his
apartment on the sixth and top floor of
the old fat building moves with unhurried
faltering gait.

rooms of his apartment, but nowhere is
to be seen a set Of Corpus Juris or the

Campbell came late and left be-

Ogden arealdy has cited the stat
