there was nothing to do but ask her to

caviar sandwich and a bottle of cham

The artist was there with about

flivver jokes. He told the one about
the little lighting bugs playing out in
the road and finally the headlights Of

NEW YORK, July 24.-lOuis Catow
is in New York from Phoebe, New lie
expects his town to be doubled in size
when he return next week. Phoebe
is the kind OF town drummers put
on their maps in pencil marks and as
for the police force there-well Catow
knows him well and he's nice fellow.
But Phoebe with its few struggling
huts developed civic alephantists re-
Gently. Some zinc ore mines were re-
opened by some Utah and Nevada min
ing Interests and the town began to
experience the old fashioned boom
like those In the heydey Of the gold
rush in California.
Across from Catow's home was a
vacant lot. 1t was still vacant one
evening but the next morning there
was a house on it-put UP over night
and occupied. The main street is soon
to have its own Gay White Way and
people are fockIng in from every part
of the West.
The big advance in the price Of zinc
ore Is responsible for the mushroom
growth Of the town. Real estate Is
hitting the sky and residents who
thought the town was going through
the last stages OF dry rot have sud
denly perked up and realized that
they're on the map.

baseball pitcher, is heavily interested
in property out there and that that is

luctant with managers. He expects
