About the best description one can
Give of the condition Of local society
al the present time is that it is on tip
foe. like a Splinter ready for a race
waiting for the sound of the starter S
pistol In other words, there isn't
ANYTHING doing just at this precise
minute, but we're all set.
Setting up the date for holding the
fair this year has had the effect of
giving somewhat earlier start to the
social season, for it is inevitable that
society should 90 at giddy hum dur
ing fair week, and the anticipation of
fine various events that are in pros
meet has caused general awakening
al along the line. There are signs of
,mmerng in the Caldron already, and
in another week or so the bubbles will

old-dme regularity and vivacity.
H. Emory Davis, chairman Of the
4 Al0ntczuma ball committee, is an cN-
rlordinarily busy man these days.
Naturally he is anxious that the bali
under his direction shall at least COM
pare fayorably with those that have
gone before, and all signs point to the
realization of his hopes. There was n
meeting of the committee last week at
which many of the details of the year S
biggest social event were gone over
/ and the machinery put in motion for
making it a little bigger than ever.
T Novelties of decoration will be intro
duced this year that will be altogether
pleasing. The music. of course, will

Twin be two orchestras. one composed
of local musicians and the other Sc
lacted from the best of the visiting
hands. For that matter, it is a diff
.wIt matter to improve on the dance
music to which Albuquerque folks
gro accustomed all the year around.

When most Of the big traders were
bears, Phillips saw, or felt that there
had been a lot Of corn sold for future
delivery in Chicago and that ii could
not be delivered
He interested down state men with
money in his theories and they bought
all of the corn offered. Almost over
night a new corn king was born,
and his name was George Harshav
Phillips. His leap from obscurity to a
position usually occupied by such mill
ituna,rcs as Partridge, "Old Hutch
and Patton, attracted national atten-
ton and the public" which knows

of excitement, flocked TO his stand

Element day came and with il Phillips
triumph, To this. the day Of his
death, he looked like boy. and he
was scarcely more than one then
Yet, the veterans of the game had to
come TO him and settle at his own
price, They had sold him something
they did NOT have, and could not get,
and he merely had to name the price
at which they could be released from
their contracts.
The newspapers were full Of it,
fillips gave up his apartment and
bought bungalow. His associates

NORFILK, Va, July 22.-From
the same sourse that Norfolk learnd
two weeks ago tonight OF the ap-
proach of the giant German mer-
chairman submarine, Deutschland,
came a prediction today that the
Deutschland's sister ship, the Bre-
men, would pass into the Virginia
capes before Monday.
There was no official authority for
the news but it spread quickly and
generally was credited. Soon after
nightfall. several vessels, some of
them carrying newspaper correspond
ents and photographers, started for
Cape Henry through heavy rain
storm to witness the arrival of the
iundersea craft. 1t was believed that
IL the boat reached the coast during
ee night, she would head in imme-
,liately as the storm made conditions
most favorable. She was expected to
20 directly to Baltimore, stopping on
ty to pick up a Maryland pilot.

A naval officer said that the logical
thing for the big German submarine TO
do is TO wait for a dark night, or a
misty ,foggy one, and then proceed TO
sea by hugging the coast travelling on
the surface, On the surface it can
make fourteen knots an hour while
submerged it cannot make more than
than six or eight knots Some officers
believe that Captain Koenig will
choose to drop down the Chesapeake
hay from Baltimore in few days, and
lie sheltered, perhaps submerged, in
some nook in the bay, until the night
comes for it to make its dash. II he
