 MASS OF HUMANITY
 The Midway from noon until late last night was mass of humanity, pleasure bent, gay and giddy, age being no con- tender for dignitary honors.
 A special favorite with the fair visitors is the quartette that sings with CavaI- los band, their voices being we'll blended and the vocal quality of the individual singers seems to be all that could be desired. The band is splendid aggre- gation of musicians.
 Miss Law again thrilled her crowd last night with her night raid in the skies, and while she dropped no bombs, 1t made her auditors think of what such situation might mean, as they sat and listened to the pap-pap-pap of her bi- plane engine in the sky over their heads. The programme today is the same as yesterday, with the exception of the race with the automobile and Miss Law in her machine, and the racing programme is changed somewhat, Other free at fractions will be the same as all other past days-only they seem to get better as they go along.

 when Henry W. Savage sends her to this city Tuesday matinee and night with large cast of singers, ballet, orchestra and dancers in the new melodramatic comedy. "PomPom." Possibly 8 leading reason why the saucy stars name has been diIninutized to 'Mitzl" is that to her has come the position once occu- pied by the much-beloved Lotta on the American stage. Both have charmed deeply in wide range of parts and both, while deliciously feminine, have played boys parts to the life and have seemed to have the power to step across the bounds of sex without once offending the sensibilities of their hearers. Anc an even more decided comparison can be drawn Tn that while each may be classed as "comedienne," they have found to be dramatic actress by first instinct.

corpor.t;ou Commission Cases.

Informal Cause No. 59o-This
cause which originated with tele-
gram from the Albuquerque Gas,
Electric Light and Power Company
under date of December II, 1916.
deals with the question of confisca-
ton and slow movement of coal con-
signed to that company and other
within the State Of New
Mexico: and upon investigating the
situation it was disclosed that the
Santa Fe Company had found it ne.
cessary to divert some commercial
coal TO its own use and which was
about by the failure OF the
mines to furnish the full quota OF
coal to that and other railroads in
this state due in many instances to
shortage of miners and not alto
pether to the shortage of cars as
was understood at that time. The
confiscation of commercial coal BY
railroads has been passed upon by
the highest authorities and the de-
cisions have been that railroad com
panies are privileged to so divert
commercial coal to ther oiwn use
when the necessity requires It foi
the TRANSFORMATION of the United
.ates mails.
Sometime after receipt of com
plaint in this matter. the situation
began to show a marked improve
ment which had the effect Of pract
ically eliminating all complaints ex
cepting in a few individual instan
ces which were promptly handled
by wire; and no additional com
plants having been received in thi
connection since February Is, thu
cause was accordingly closed Ma,

OF DEFENSE ASKS
HELP OF EVERYBODY.

Not servitude, but service-this is
the true spirit of the day of June
sth, which the President has de-
signated as Registration Day. 1t
will be in reality sort of invent
ory" day, when Uncle Sam will take
stock of his "man-power," just as he
is listing his resources of ships and
airpianes, of coast defense guns and
munition factories, of motor trucks
and food supplies.
Of the men who will list their
names and offer services on June
Sth, less than 10 per cent will be
used in actual military duty on this
call. A great many will be be found
to come within the exemptions OF
the army bill, while others will be
detailed to handle important work
which their training fits them to do.
Many . genuine patriot will not go
to the battle lines Of Europe at all,
but will remain in New Mexico to
till the soil. This is q war in which
an intelligent effort will be made to
put each man in the place where he
is best fitted to render service. Take
for instance, q man wo has 93 per
cent effectiveness as q farmer or
mechanic, and IS per cent As . SOL
dier. II would be the height Of fol-
ly to use q man as a soldier, and the
War Department will not blindly
make its selections.
The proclamation issued by the
Governor and the Council Of De-
fense says in part: ITO each man
registering a badge of honor will
be given having thereon the words
The Colors Call; have answered !:
1t is suggested that a committee oi
girls, women and G. A. r. men have
this honor task. In each community
the local committee is asked to fur
nish suitable red, white and blue
ribbon to tie on the badges"
II is the duty of each and every
patriotic man and woman in New
Mexico to do all that is possible to
assist in this work of securing the
registration of all eligible men.

yees of the Government to enlist If
It becomes law. As drawn by Mr..
La Guardia the measure provides
that an employee Of the United
States who enters the Army or

pay he has been drawing less the

his discharge from military service
shall again receive the position that
he held before enlistment.
