(Continued on Back Page) In the United States this season thi re are being conducted more than 1500 Redpath Chautauquas. More than 100 tents are being used to house an aggregate attendance that exceeds 8,000,U0O people during the season. This community is In the midst of its campaign for the first day chautau- qua which will open Saturday afternoon, July 23rd, and close Wednesday, July 27th. F. M. Estill, second advance agent for the chautauqua. who has been in Amherst for the pust few days, assisting the committee in the details of the campaign, states that the entire flv-3 days are filled with the best talent available in the platform market. He predicts that the program will be' the best that the people of Amherst und the neighboring communities have had the opportunity of enjoying at any other chautauqua program. The week will be filled with Interesting ovButa fumi Uie opening, num- bar by the American Troubadours, "I'eppy People iu a Popular Program," to the closing number by Knight Mac Gregor, popular New York baritone, with his able assistants, Miss Delma DrMby, 'cellist, and Edna Wallace, pianist. Other numbers on the program are E'lwood T. Bailey of California In hiu All Aboard" lecture. This lecture, will be one of the high spots of tlu> chautauqua week, for in It there is ID abundance of humor, inspiration and food for thought. Kathryn White's orchestra will appear on the program on the second ui't.crnoon and are known In lyceum anJ chautauqua circles as one of the baat string and reed orchestras on the platform, John B. Ratto will give his series of impersonations, musical and historical r. views and humorous selections on i ■•! second evening. He has filled over ;',000 engagements and twenty per • • nt of his bookings have been return dates. The Lillian Johnson company will I pear on the program on Ihe third afternoon with readings und musical n.mbers und it will be well worth i alts to hear them. Thomas Brooks Fletcher, newspaper - ltem.porary of Warren G. Harding, will give a dramatic lecture on the h'.id evening. He is one of the great- ■svt dramatic lecturers the country has ever known und the humor and Inspi- ra.lon in his speech will be a large number ou the week's events. j!i b4 fourth afternoon, W. D. Camp- bill, with a background of fifteen stars' experience as art director, will p.eBent his lecture demonstrating Home- the Heart of Life." He will have a completely, furnished room on the stage and will show among other blngs the proper urrangemeut of a living room. The fourth evening will be the headline event when a cast of New York actors will present the three-act comply, ' Nothing But the Truth." This ;:'■,;,■ has un interesting plot and many Domical situations are caused because of a wuger of 810,000 to tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. On the fifth afternoon, Dr. O. L. Kl'p'IngVr, who became intimately acquainted with 30,000 convicts during his term as chaplain of the Indiana state prison, will deliver his address on "The Ro^maklng and Mending of Men." It is predicted that there Is not a weak number on the program this year and that each daily number Is fully worth the price of a season ticket. NEW LAW WILL iGOVERN SPOTLIGHTS Users of spotlights after August lGth must have them so adjusted that the light will be cust on the roadway not more thun 50 feet aheud ot the car ami the rays shull be to the right of ,he center of the roadway. This is made mandatory by the Pence antiglare law which goes Into effect upon that date. The Pence law provided that all automobiles in Ohio after August 16th shall be equipped with unti-glare lenses which have been approved by State Highway Commissioner Leon C. Ilor- rick. Herrlck expects to issue within he next ten days a, list of approved devices und lenses that will meet the i, q.ilrementB of the Pence law. iu speaking of the unti-glare law, Prof, F. 0. Culdwell. of ihe state engineering axpertofBl station, who beads the committee to make the .rats for the state iu connection with the anti-glare devices, states that the small expense attached to equipping an automobile with proper lights was small compared to the benefits. He .'.-clares the headlights on an automobile to be a most important part of the car's equipment. "Many people vvtr. go to any expense to get the best of everything else in the way of automobile equipment and then buy cheap lighting equipment," said Prof. Caldwell. He declared more accident* occur at night through faulty headlights thun any other cause. He slates that the provisions of the Pence law may be met by painting one-half of the headlight but that procedure simply cut off one-half of the supply of light, reducing the candle power one-half and making the light very inefficient from a driver's standpoint. "Properly mude lenses," suld Prof. Caldwell, 'diffuse the light properly und project it downward upon the roadway, the proper distance ahead of the car. NOM of the light is lost us in the cane of the painted headlight. The cost Is so small," Caldwell declared, that no uutoist should fall to install proper lenses." Ihe village m SalAI In th. day night a- m ivagcmentf ic.-iiiniiiK *he paving program were discussed and many other business matters were presented by visitors who were present. Contructoi-B Fauver and Patterson of Lorain were present and the bids for paving were discussed. Their bids were not presented at that time but all bids were to be .-handed In today before 11! o'clock. Mayor Smythe ex pectit that about five bids will be handed in. In connection with accepting bids a special meeting will be held tomorrow night, nt which time all bids presented will be discussed and the more favorable of the number ;>nsi nted will be received. Upon investigation the council tlnds that the bond market is at a standstill and that it will be dltllcult to sell the bObdt. snd unless the bonds can be •■oil by he contractor who gets the jo!) by St inlay the puvlng project will be postponed until a later dute. All necessary legislation has been passed relative to paving und in the event that the bonds cannot be sold all that will be necessary will be to readveitlr.e for bids when conditions favor paving at u later date. Th- water works company requested :i p- mtt from the council to lay the wu;.r pipes in the same trenches as that of the gas and in this manner save unnecessary expense. The coun- (II granted the permit and the work ..111 be carried on under that condition. The local Aerie of Eagles alBO asked a permit to erect a war memorial, which was granted by the council, in connection with the permit it was requested thut iron benches be purchased In sufficient number to make a neut appearing memorial. The council took action on the laying of the grave markers for Crownhlll cemetery, which were purchased a short time ugo. In connection with the laying of the murkers, several places will be graded down and paths put in their proper places. ICE CREAM CO.

(Continued on Back Page) In the United States this season thi re are being conducted more than 1500 Redpath Chautauquas. More than 100 tents are being used to house an aggregate attendance that exceeds 8,000,U0O people during the season. This community is In the midst of its campaign for the first day chautau- qua which will open Saturday afternoon, July 23rd, and close Wednesday, July 27th. F. M. Estill, second advance agent for the chautauqua. who has been in Amherst for the pust few days, assisting the committee in the details of the campaign, states that the entire flv-3 days are filled with the best talent available in the platform market. He predicts that the program will be' the best that the people of Amherst und the neighboring communities have had the opportunity of enjoying at any other chautauqua program. The week will be filled with Interesting ovButa fumi Uie opening, num- bar by the American Troubadours, "I'eppy People iu a Popular Program," to the closing number by Knight Mac Gregor, popular New York baritone, with his able assistants, Miss Delma DrMby, 'cellist, and Edna Wallace, pianist. Other numbers on the program are E'lwood T. Bailey of California In hiu All Aboard" lecture. This lecture, will be one of the high spots of tlu> chautauqua week, for in It there is ID abundance of humor, inspiration and food for thought. Kathryn White's orchestra will appear on the program on the second ui't.crnoon and are known In lyceum anJ chautauqua circles as one of the baat string and reed orchestras on the platform, John B. Ratto will give his series of impersonations, musical and historical r. views and humorous selections on i ■•! second evening. He has filled over ;',000 engagements and twenty per • • nt of his bookings have been return dates. The Lillian Johnson company will I pear on the program on Ihe third afternoon with readings und musical n.mbers und it will be well worth i alts to hear them. Thomas Brooks Fletcher, newspaper - ltem.porary of Warren G. Harding, will give a dramatic lecture on the h'.id evening. He is one of the great- ■svt dramatic lecturers the country has ever known und the humor and Inspi- ra.lon in his speech will be a large number ou the week's events. j!i b4 fourth afternoon, W. D. Camp- bill, with a background of fifteen stars' experience as art director, will p.eBent his lecture demonstrating Home- the Heart of Life." He will have a completely, furnished room on the stage and will show among other blngs the proper urrangemeut of a living room. The fourth evening will be the headline event when a cast of New York actors will present the three-act comply, ' Nothing But the Truth." This ;:'■,;,■ has un interesting plot and many Domical situations are caused because of a wuger of 810,000 to tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. On the fifth afternoon, Dr. O. L. Kl'p'IngVr, who became intimately acquainted with 30,000 convicts during his term as chaplain of the Indiana state prison, will deliver his address on "The Ro^maklng and Mending of Men." It is predicted that there Is not a weak number on the program this year and that each daily number Is fully worth the price of a season ticket. NEW LAW WILL iGOVERN SPOTLIGHTS Users of spotlights after August lGth must have them so adjusted that the light will be cust on the roadway not more thun 50 feet aheud ot the car ami the rays shull be to the right of ,he center of the roadway. This is made mandatory by the Pence antiglare law which goes Into effect upon that date. The Pence law provided that all automobiles in Ohio after August 16th shall be equipped with unti-glare lenses which have been approved by State Highway Commissioner Leon C. Ilor- rick. Herrlck expects to issue within he next ten days a, list of approved devices und lenses that will meet the i, q.ilrementB of the Pence law. iu speaking of the unti-glare law, Prof, F. 0. Culdwell. of ihe state engineering axpertofBl station, who beads the committee to make the .rats for the state iu connection with the anti-glare devices, states that the small expense attached to equipping an automobile with proper lights was small compared to the benefits. He .'.-clares the headlights on an automobile to be a most important part of the car's equipment. "Many people vvtr. go to any expense to get the best of everything else in the way of automobile equipment and then buy cheap lighting equipment," said Prof. Caldwell. He declared more accident* occur at night through faulty headlights thun any other cause. He slates that the provisions of the Pence law may be met by painting one-half of the headlight but that procedure simply cut off one-half of the supply of light, reducing the candle power one-half and making the light very inefficient from a driver's standpoint. "Properly mude lenses," suld Prof. Caldwell, 'diffuse the light properly und project it downward upon the roadway, the proper distance ahead of the car. NOM of the light is lost us in the cane of the painted headlight. The cost Is so small," Caldwell declared, that no uutoist should fall to install proper lenses." Ihe village m SalAI In th. day night a- m ivagcmentf ic.-iiiniiiK *he paving program were discussed and many other business matters were presented by visitors who were present. Contructoi-B Fauver and Patterson of Lorain were present and the bids for paving were discussed. Their bids were not presented at that time but all bids were to be .-handed In today before 11! o'clock. Mayor Smythe ex pectit that about five bids will be handed in. In connection with accepting bids a special meeting will be held tomorrow night, nt which time all bids presented will be discussed and the more favorable of the number ;>nsi nted will be received. Upon investigation the council tlnds that the bond market is at a standstill and that it will be dltllcult to sell the bObdt. snd unless the bonds can be •■oil by he contractor who gets the jo!) by St inlay the puvlng project will be postponed until a later dute. All necessary legislation has been passed relative to paving und in the event that the bonds cannot be sold all that will be necessary will be to readveitlr.e for bids when conditions favor paving at u later date. Th- water works company requested :i p- mtt from the council to lay the wu;.r pipes in the same trenches as that of the gas and in this manner save unnecessary expense. The coun- (II granted the permit and the work ..111 be carried on under that condition. The local Aerie of Eagles alBO asked a permit to erect a war memorial, which was granted by the council, in connection with the permit it was requested thut iron benches be purchased In sufficient number to make a neut appearing memorial. The council took action on the laying of the grave markers for Crownhlll cemetery, which were purchased a short time ugo. In connection with the laying of the murkers, several places will be graded down and paths put in their proper places. ICE CREAM CO.
