The club showed a de- cided increase in numbers over that of the previous year, the entire number being thirty-six. Not only was the number increased, but also the volume of tone. So appealing and entrancing is their music that it produces the same effect upon pupils in the adjoining rooms as did the music of the sirens in days of old. For the Christmas entertainment the tilee Club gave an operetta, The Trial of Santa Claus, which proved a great success. The following was the cast: Alta Lucas ....,.. ............

be emingtnn Brass FRIDAY. AUGUST 9. 1931 New York Special.-Prof. Floyd W. Baer says he is sure he has found the true explanation for those electrical dis- turbances that were first noticed, here in New York and in London, where the professor will confer wit ha number of world famed scientists. Our townpeople will readily identify Prof. Baer with the promising young man who taught in our school two years. RETURN OF VIRTUOS0 Miss Lola E. Elmore will give an en- tertainment at the Chautauqua, Friday evening, Aug. 16. Miss Elmore delight- ed the English Royalty when she made her debut in London last winter. She has recently been touring southern Eu- rope. Besides being a brilliant piano vir- tuoso, Miss Elmore is also a talented reader. Clarke Hascall, her business manager, will be here, and it is expected that he will take some part in the programme. WHAT DOES THE LAW DECREE? Unfortunate At Least! There was an elopement planned-and the wrong twin appeared. According to reports, she didn't know what she was getting into, until it was over, but Rich- ard says he can't support them both, yet. The United States Ambassadar to Ur- uguay, the Honorable L. D. Baker, leaves Washington today for Montevideo. The Remington Quintet, which has met with such favor in the Lyceum entertain- ments all over the country, has broken up. Miss Frances Johnston, the violinist, says she is tired of traveling and not see- ing her closest friendsg she is going to try marriage. Miss Hafey's health is in such a condition that she feels that she must winter in the south recuperating. The ither members of the Quintet were Mrs. Hattie Wellington, Miss Leona Kelly and Miss Alberta Geier. Grand Rapids, Mich.-Mrs. Helen Van Sturr and Mrs. Pha Hoover Wroe were hit by a street car as they were speeding across town in Mrs. Van Sturr's automo- bile. Neither of the ladies lost con- sciousness, but they were made quite help- less by the shock. Mrs. Van Sturr has relatives in the city, and the unfortunate ladies were taken to their home. Mrs. Wroe was on her way to deliver an address on Community Kitchens at the West Side hotel. It is postponed un- til Tuesday of next week, when, we are assured, the two women will have entire- ly recovered. Dr. and Mrs. Bidwell entertained, at their beautiful home on east Division St., the latter's classmates -of 1920. It was practically a week's house-party. Miss Margueritte Roades, now the At- torney-General of Illinois, reached Rem- ington Wednesday morning, and proceed- ed to win an impromptu tennis tourna- ment held on the Bidwell courts. Charles and Athlene Johnston were able to be here from the West. Johnston says his fruit farm is doing fine, and we'll agree that it must beg he came in his own plane. Miss Alta Lucas, who has been conduct- ing a special teacher's course in Monon, drove over for dinner and a dance Thurs- day evening. Mrs. Doris Calderon arrived here di- rectly from Rawson, Argentina, where she has been for the past seven years. She is a widow now, but assures her friends that she and her two children will go back to South America in three or four months. Mr. Vern Williams left his office in Monroe, Wis., in charge of one of his as- sistants, and has been alternately visiting his parents and classmates. C. E. Kelly is now a policeman in Sea- iield. He couldn't get off just now, and didn't like to leave, for he says he is look- ing for a raise in the near future. Mr. Max Carpenter, the other member of Margory B1dwell's class is on a honey- moon. He says his wife is mapping out thelroute, and does not find it convenient to include Remington on it. Carpenter has recently been taken in as junior port- ner of the Crawfordsville Electric Co., which probably accounts for his extrava- gance. Mrs. Catherine Payne is expected home from Watseka Friday. Miss Ruth Spencer and Miss Mary Lewis attended Miss Lucas' classes in Monon several weeks. Mr. Lawrence O'Connor has been made manager of the Duluth Mfg. Co. He has been with this company several years and this is a sign of his good business ability. Mrs. Bernice Farley's chickens took first prize, as usual, at Rensselaer on Wednesday. See us for fresh meats, choice cuts.- Emerson. Miss Elsie Blake and Miss Katherine Parsons have returned from twelve weeks' normal at Terre Haute. Mrs. Emma Morris left this morning for Detroit.
