CALICO |S HARD
 ID FIND HERE
Efforts of Senoritas to Sc cure Material for Dresses for Annual Calico Ball Proves Troublesome ana Many Hearts Are Sad

That there is d frightful shortage of calico in Phoenix is the report of scores of dark-eyed senoritas who are arranging to attend the third
 annual calico ball to he given this evening at Patrick Hall under the
 auspices of the Alianza Hispano-
 Americana Lodge, No. 9. For several
 days, CT since it was officially made
 known that Thursday. June A, was
 the date that had been selected for
 this most enjoyable affair no end of spanish American girls and for that matter American girls, too, have
 been beseiging the various dry goods and department stores in search of attractive patterns in calico. The early ones found a limited display tC select from: the later ones found little or nothing suitable to be em
 ployed in making dresses that would stand much chance of winning a prize
 And the hearts of these senoritas have been made sad by this shortage of the only material from which it will be permitted to make the dresses t0 be worn at tonights function. The point. heretofore has been to make of the annual calico ball. an occasion when the dressmaking art may be demonstrated at it's best. The girl or young woman who from the cheap CT material succeeded in fashioning the most stylish. best fitting or most unique garment Was awarded a prize. But with no calico to speak of ob tainable the situation is indeed grave.
 Several of the girls who expect to attend the ball got their heads to- gether yesterday and decided to ask the committee on arrangements to change the edict and permit the wearing of dresses made from ging- ham or some other light, summery material. But the committee flatfoot- edly said it was too late to think of such change and further that the annual calico ball had become feature of the social side of the lodge and there couldn't, possibly be a change at this time.
 The ball of tonight Is probably the most enjoyable affair the Spanish American people of Phoenix will hold this year It k exclusive only Tn that none but the better element will b. admission. An invitation Is extended to Americans to join with the Spanish Americans in having good time and in making this the greatest annual affair vet held.
 There will be three prizes awarded tonight. The first will be for the nandsomest calico dress, the second will be the most curious. The third prize will be awarded to the young woman receiving the highest number If votes in the contest for queen of the ball. This prize will be a sum of money equal to the amount of the initiation fee of the lodge.

Lasky at the studios in Hollywood, California.

 Miss Edith Wynne Mathison, who plays the title role is now making her debut upon the screen, but Is one of the most famous dramatic artists in the entire world. The fact that she was co-star with Sir Henry Irving during his farewell tour is introduction enough. The other four leading artists are James Neil. Theo- dore Roberts, Tom Forman and May Allison

In the movie show people were fright ened almost to death by the noise. The room had a stamped iron ceiling. and the result of the quake was to make it sound as though some one were pouring a million pebbles on a tin roof
 People in the streets Were strumbl- ing along in the dark. chokeu by the dust that rose in immense clouds, and wondering what was the matter with their feet. One of our work CTS out on canal bank. told me he found himself walking in a different direction when the temblor came and passed
 The reclamation building there used to be the old cavalry barracks. The rooms are of adobe and about 20 feet high. with a lot of false work connecting the roofs with those of two other similar structures running parallel. one of these dobe walls cracked from top to bottom. A great deal of the plaster in the office building peeled off and fell to the floor. Tables were rocked about and stands thrown down.
 Roddis' Deductions

 T formed my opinion instantly, after realizing the nature of the dis turbance." returned Roddis
 "Colorado river water flowing into Volcano Lake few miles below the Mexican line. That, in my opinion. caused your shaking. Let me explain
 -." Drawing map on desk pad
 "Volcano lake is now part of the bed of the Colorado. When Salton Sea was formed. the river broke out of it's natural channel flowed west ward into Volcano Lake. and since the building of the Ievees thence by a channel known as New River back into the head of the gulf. In the years since the river was driven back into it's bed. the flow of muddy water has had a strange effect on that peculiar lake. Heretofore. Volcano Lake has been described as crater like depression in which are huge mud springs and hot water jets ex- actly like those in Yellowstone Ma tional Park There is undoubtedly  the surface or else some chemical elements that keep the water and mud at a furiously high temperature.
 "All the time the river has been flowing in there. silt has been chok- ing up the mouths of these hot springs. Gradually. the water got down to level where it could flow down an underground drainage level toward Salton Sea, which is 200 feet lower than Volcano Lake. It was in my opinion. the contact of that water with molten masses of lava that caused a steam explosion-the cause of practically all earthquakes.
 General Marshall looked over Vol cano Lake critically in 1869. At that time it was real lake. Now. we know that it is a mere marsh. the silt having filled it up to the level of the river. so that the jules and sedges are growing in it. In fact, General Marshall is rather responsible for the present condition of the lake. for he built the levee along the west bank of the Colorado. leading from the lake several miles northward. This was to prevent the further in- flow of Colorado river water into the Salton Sea region"

CHAPTER XVIII


There Is no need of going into
an extended recital of our suffer
ing in the small boat during the
many days we were driven and
drifted, here and there, willy
nilly, across the ocean. The high
wind blew from the northwest for
twenty-four hours, when It fell
calm, and in the night sprang up
from the southwest. This was
dead in our teeth, but I took in
the sea-anchor and set sail, haul
ing course on the wind which
took us In south-southeasterly
direction. 1t was an even choice
between this and the west-north-
westerly course which the wind
permitted; but the warm airs of
the south famed my desire for a
warmer sea and swayed my deci-
sion.
In three hours, lit was mid
night, l well remember, and as
dark as l had ever seen 1t on the
sea, the wind. still blowing out
Of the southwest. rose furiously,
and once again l was compelled to
set the sea-anchor.
