THE FEATURE OF THE WEEK IN
A SOCIAL WAY.
SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY BALL

Welcomed as Breaking the Monotony
OF Rather Dull Week-People More
Concerned With the Sick List Than
Parties.
The annual anniversary dancing
party Of the Elks on Friday evening
was decidedly the event in the society
functions of the week. The Elk's
dance came at time when 1t was
welcomed as breaking the monotony
OF a rather dull period in Norfolk Soc

Norfolk during the week was more
concerned with the sick list perhaps
than with any attempt at parties.
Skating has been the chief recrea-
ton of the week.

months ago. The wages of the men were not reduced They were asked to work from fifteen to twenty-five per cent less than the time allotted to them previously"
 When Mir Watson was asked if this condition Indicated revival of busi- ness interests which would have a healthy tone upon trade throughout the country he said that he appreciated that the action of the United States Rubber Company might result in ten dency of other corporations to proceed with further plans with great encour- agement.
 It was intimated by an officer of the company, who desired not to be quoted that the business referred to, wherein the United States Rubber companv was taking money out of It's treasury fo reimburse its employees. was due en- tirely to the increased business of the company over what had been antici- pated.
 It is also understood that allied rub Der interests will follow the initiative or the Rubber Trust There are more than 10000 employees of the other com panies. who will doubtless be benefited shortly through the action taken by the United States Rubber Company.
 When the announcement of the United States Rubber Company was published in factories in New, York Boston, Bristol. R. l.. Okron. O.. Tren- ton. N- J., and Newton Mass, by buI1e- tins. posted where the employees could see them. when they came from their benches during the noon hour, there were many cheers. For several months following the reduction of time allotted the employees of the trust there was ap prehension that the action of the trust in voting the reduction in the number of employees. When the restoration of time and wages came the situation was greatly relieved.
 No closer corporation in the world exists than the United States Rubber Company. when it comes to obtainInr information from officers dealing with the working of the corporation. The disposition of officials in discussing the recent action indicates that the rubber business is on the boom.

Men and Women a. Ea.ter..

Chicago Journal.
 In a small west-side restaurant that caters to persons on economy bent the bill of fare is headed by this notice;
 Regular Dinner-Men 25 cents; wo- men. IS cents"
 How is this?' asked a chance cus- toner belonging to the sex most heaV- fly taxed. You charge us fellows 10 cents more than you do the women What have we done that we should be so discriminated against?s
 You eat more," was the plain re- joindeF. Tt doesn't cost nearly so much to feed women as men. but we are the first concern in this part of the say so in plain print. Many foreign restaurants have recognized that fact and have regulated their charges &C., cordingly. Boarding houses, too, are well acquainted with the masculine ap- petite and satisfy its longings at premium.
 ' However. if the male boarder is subject to excessive charges he always has the satisfaction of knowing he gets his moneys wodth. Walters in insti- tutions of that kind are required to report in the kitchen whether an order Is for a lady or gentleman and the capacity of. the diner. Some cheap res- taurants have adopted the plan of serving Tadylike' portions at rock-bot- tom prices. thereby enabling the man with an appetite to double up on his order and preserve a fair ratio between the cost of mems and women's meals. But we like our plan better. It gives everybody a fair show and prevents confusion"

 quirer.
 Fifteen thousand employees of the United States Rubber Company. as- sociated with seventeen factories con trolled by the trust. have been made to understand that business conditions have improved by an official edict from the officers of the company restoring the old rate of wages.
 Since January 1, the men employed by the United States Rubber Company have been working under a cut of fif- teen to twenty-five per cent of their time, which meant a cut of wages in the same proportion. The thousands of families which existed under short rations following the reduction Of wages by the trust are represented by several communities where the rough product is turned into serviceable ma teriaI, and for six months they have been anxiously waiting for this action.
 John J. Watson. Jr.. Treasurer and Director of the company. said today that the announcement had been pub lished in all of the factories and that there would be a restoration of moneys, approximating losses from the old wage scale from July 1, which will give to employees of the trust a monetary reimbursement which will be Joyously received.
 aThe resumption of business activity and the healthy progress made during the last few months in branches of trade is responsible for the renewal of full time in the factories" said Mir, Watson. There has been a misunder- standing as to the cut made several

The East Has Made Little Progress fin
 Recent Years.

Recent Years.
 Indianapolis News.
 The tone of the comment in leading papers In Boston and New York on the Denver convention Is notable in this: Its similarity to or identity with the tone of eight years ago. It is not dis ooverabie that any of these papers has examined the conditions and differences which make the Bryan nomination of 1908 unlike that of 1900. The comment might be verbatim that of eight years ago. barring changes to make the pres ent date fit The point of the observa- tion Is that the East--if these papers speak for it--has learned nothing The name Bryan Is sufficient. We are not holding a brief for Mir. Bryan. We are simply saying that the wise papers of the East have daaiied 70 . dls. anything has happened to and with the American people during these eight years. great thing has happened in many man rs almost revoi1tionary things that happened in the world of our politics since thsn--things done and the altered view that has followed the doing of them.

But to all this the wise men of the East seem to be blind. MT Taft and the new Wall Street understanding may pre- vail.

Chicago. July 25.---A natural corner In oats came to a sudden end today when the price of the July delivery dropped six cents per bushel on the board of trade here. This severe slump caused little excitement, how ever. owing to the fact that trade in that option had been very small for some time past because of the congested condition of the market Likelihood that the movement of the new crop will basin on a liberal scale within the next few days was chiefly responsible for the decline.
