FINE LECTURE PROMISED Dr. George Gilbert Bancroft Will Give Entertainment Under Auspices of College Y. M. C A. Dallas College has added a depart ment of publlo speaking to its course for students who have passed the third year of Academic work. The instruc tion In this new line is under tbe direction of Attorney H. B. Stout, an experienced orator and public speaker, and that the students are taking a great interest in it, is shown by the large attendance in the new class. The regular entertalnmSnt course arranged for the coming season by the faculty of Dallas College, will be preceded by a two night lecture enter tainment by Dr. George Gilbert Ban croft and Miss D. Lillian Lewis. Franklin P. Dorris, the manager and director of this entertainment feature, was in Dallas, and completed arrange ments for giving two lectures at the Woodman Hall, Friday and Saturday, October 30 and 31, under the auspices of the Y.

This entertainment marks only tbe beginning, as it were, of a long series of excellent musical and literary treats that the college has prepared for the coming season, and they feel that In securing Dr. Bancroft with his two fine lectures to open the course, they have have assured it of a suitable and satisfactory introduction to the people of Dallas. MANY AMUSEMENT FEATURES Winter Season in Dallas Opens With Big Variety of Attractions For Entertainment Seekers. Although he had not Intended to begin the skating season until Thurs day evening, Frank Kerslake Anally consented to throw open the Colosseum rink Wednesday afternoon and even ing, so large and so insistent had become the throng of devotees to the art of roller skating, who congregated about tbe big building clamoring to be allowed on the floor. With its Increasing number of amusement resorts, Dallas should be anything but a "lonesome town" dur lngtbe coming winter to those who crave "some place to go and some thing to see." From tbe Colosseum rink down through the business section of the city, one encounters these traps of amusement set to catch the Idle shekels of the seeker after entertainment. Tbe Vaudette, with Its series after series of moving picture scenes, comic, traglo, or sometimes merely inane and Its brightly colored illustrated songs (an institution that seems rapidly to be becoming engrafted Into the very Inmost and typical characteristic of the American people) stands at the head of the street. Farther down the shooting gallery with Its dazzling whirl of mechanical targets and its asthmatic, butoourageous mechanical piano, Is located and close by It are the Caldwell poolrooms and bowling alley. Running down the street through the gauntlet of confectionery stores, oyster parlors, etc., tne amusement seeker finds the Henline pool and billiard parlors and after passing these, winds up bis journey practically In the same way it was begun, In another moving picture establishment, the neat and cozy little "Electric Palace" wblcb Is operated under the management of Whiteside & Cooper. Tbe season however Is only In Its beginning and none can tell to what lengths tbe hunger for entertainment may carry us before the winter Is ended. Already plans are afoot for installing other amusement features and It is probable tbat tbe number of these resorts will be still further lo creased before tba winter bas become far advanced.

RAMSEY, Prop. Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It Is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to lot light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but does It save you anything when It limits op portunities for work aod recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and Increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but It wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you save, but bow you save tbat counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
