VoU will not believe me, of course, but
L what l have to say is perfectly true.
] actually heard young man boasting
the other day that he did not have to
entertain a girl or ask her if he might
take her to walk or any of the usual
polite things men are supposed to do,
for, said he: "They call me up all the
time, you see, and If don't feel like walk
fng over to see them they send the car.
This is the life" Now is it not strange
state of affairs that mothers do not seem
to know that their daughters spend
great part of their time calling up boys
and asking them to go skating with them
or walking or riding and all the other
sorts of pastimes which "since time i'm:
memorial" have been mans privilege to
offer. And then one hears of the awful
rudeness Of the young man Of the present
day! Isn't it. after ALL sometimes a good
deal the fault of the girl, who so far for
gets her dignity and. gives a man chance
to speak of her and her doings in the
tone in which the young man | cite did
To be sure, there is no excuse for the
men being made rude, but somehow this
Kind of thing takes a bit from the
Nervousness of their behavior.

u,uERE are many mothers of debu-
L tantes and fathers too, for that mat
Ter. who greatly object to having their
daughters attend the bal masque, for 1t is
generally acknowledged it is not quite the
Mace for a timid deb. "There do be hap
nenings there" YOU know. Remember
,ba lady who confided to one of her
friends that she had no idea who she
sat out a dance with in the balcony. but
he certainly was some lover And
strange though it may SEEM the mere
whisper of naughtiness makes the deb.
hss wild to go and see all there is TO he
ssen, but the Adolph Rosengartens have
stepped into the breach this year and
will give a perfectly delightful costume
party in the Mask and Wig clubhouse for
Elisabeth McMlchael, the memory OF
whose father, the late Clayton McMichael,
Is held in such affection by the members
Of the club. The Rosengartens did the
same thing last year, in that they gave
A party for their niece, Sarah Nelson,
on Shrove Tuesday, and the debbies We're
eatlsfed as well as those of this year,
for they had their costume party and a
delightful time as well and were not
crowded and crushed off the floor in
great huge crowd of dancers.
The Edwin Eldon Grahams will enter
tain at dinner before the Rosengarten
dance for their daughter Lorraine, and
Marion Wurts will be given a dinner by
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ken

WAY OF STACKER
WILL Be ROUGH.
Every Avenue of Escape From
the Draft Will Be
Closed.
MARRIAGE SHlRKER IS FIRST
Those Of Physical Breed" Are Also

Have Been Given Access to
Data of Army Surgeons.

Washington, Aug. EVERY avenue

closed, Provost Marshal General
fsisasgsieK isad tassss xxx Il
Rumors Of widespread exemption
claims have caused general tighten
ing Of the lines. There is no official
recognition of these rumors, but action
has been taken to prevent all unfound-
ed exemptions.
The first Stacker" to be apprehend-
ed will be the marriage Stacker"
President Wilson has before him an
executive order expected to prevent all
escape from the draft by marriage.
To Establish Time Limit.
1t Is expected the executive order
will establish time limit on depend
ency claims. 1t will probably set the
date of the issuance of the exemption
regulations, June 80, as the latest date
upon which dependencies can be estab-
lished. All marriages after this date
might not be- precluded from exemp-
nized by the exemption boards Should
this executive order go into effect
marriage license will become a neces-
sity to exemption claims. Affidavits Of
the time of marriage will also have to
be presented.
Physical "slackers" are also under
fire. Continued reports reach Wash
ington Of plots for temporarily inca
pacitating drafted men. To ward
against, this strict orders have been
issued to all examining physicians.
Board Has Final Day.
Physical disability established by
one physician does not carry with it
exemption. A second examination
must be conducted by another physi-
clan in the presence of the exemption
board. If the second physician also
disqualifies the candidate, the exemp-
ton board may still hold the man for
service If they have reason to believe
he is shamming.
All examining physicians have
been given access to the data of physi-
cal examinations compiled by the army
surgeons. All known tricks have been
explained and the greatest care will
be taken. There is every indication
that the way of the Stacker will be
hard.

Aid IN lIunt.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. BE
lieying that airplanes of the enemy
have been flying over southern Utah,
Leon Bone, special investigator for
the department of justice, has asked
that the war department send air
planes to this state to make an investi-
cation of the reports which have come
from San Juan and Grand counties as
to nightly flights of airplanes. Mr..
Bone said that it is impossible for per-
sons on foot to determine the head
quarters of the airplanes and that as
a last resort the airplanes Of the war
department have been asked to aid IN
the search.
Further evidence of the activities
of airplanes In southern Utah was
brought to Salt Lake City by r. P.
Flagel of the United States geological
survey, who has been in San Juan
county for two months. Mr.. Flagel
traced the airplanes from Mexican
Hat, where Gen. Hugh L. Scott sub
dued the Piutes two years ago, to La
Sal and Moab, distance of more than
100 miles.
Agents of the department of justice
have received information, but they
will not give out the source, that the
airplanes operating in the southern
part of the state are enemy machines
They are not there to throw bombs
but to get information and send it to
other countries by way of Mexico, ac-
cording to the information which has
been placed In Mr.. Bones hands.

PUT DIVERS TO FLIGHT
U. S. Destroyers Force U-Boats
to Turn Tail.
Arrive as Submarine Is Attacking q
Fnelohter-one Steamer
Already Sunk.

American Naval Base in British Wa
tiers, Aug. 2.-American destroyers re-
ported having engaged two submarines
simultaneously six miles distant, caus-
ing both to speed away and submerge
without firing shot.
One of the submarines had just
! sunk steamer by gunfire, the second
was attacking merchantmen when
the destroyers opened fire. The Sec
| ond submarine, which Is described as a
super-type, almost as long as a de-
stroyer, raced off and submerged at
the first shots, but the other, which
had sunk the steamer, remained up
several minutes.
Only when shell splashed within
% yards of the submarine did she SUBJ
merge, according to the crew of the
steamer, who watched the attack from
a small boat close by. They later
were rescued by the destroyers and
brought here.
A French tanker bound for America
limped into port with 30-foot hole in
her bow as result Of fight with
submarine. The tanker was twice at
tackled. In the first, early in the voy-
age, she easily beat off the submarine
and reached a point 400 miles toward
America.
she was then attacked by another
submarine, the shells of which, des-
pite the stout resistance of the tank
ers gunners, shattered the pilot house,
smashing the compass and tore gap
ing hole below the water line. The
tanker began to settle and the crew
abandoned the ship, the submarine
disappearing. The crew rowed away
in Il rough sea, but later, surprised
that the tanker did not sink, returned
to her and managed, without bearings,
to bring her to port.
