a FTER the gayety Of last week
~ with its stellar event the tennis
- = tournament, not to mention he
numerous picnies, dinners and other in
formal affairs, the week just ended has
been unusually dull and stupid.
Most everybody has gone away for
the summer, and those who have not
are flying to their favorite resorts as
fast as ever they can.
There is q temporary closing of the
homes in town, and the center of all
social activity is being transferred to
the summer resorts.
1t is very gay at the beaches these
days, and itwould seem as if all society
were out for a summers frolic.
In no other amusement do grownups
revert TO the joys and freedom of child
hood as at the beach. Perhaps this is
the reason that 3, stay at the shore
proves so beneficial after the routine
Of the winters activities.
Society folk who are left in town
have retired into convenient period
OF dnllness, SO it seems, that is enliv-
ened only by golf, tennis, picnics and
other out Of door sports. Motor trips are
a favorite psstime with many again
this season, and Oregon is being discov-
cred as playground Of wonderful fas-
cination.
The definite variety Of the scenery
and the fruitful richness Of the land
makes this part of the state q garden
of continued enehantment. To see il
well, one must tour over highway and
byway and visit the towns and villages
or if one Is fortunate in having such a
privilege the great ranches are still
better.
Judge and Mrs. George @. Bingham
left to-day for an outing at Neskowin,

Some interesting features relating 10
the summer social season in New York
and other places in the east are brought
out by a comparison of the summer So
cial registers Of this year and last.
Although the war has brought about
q great change in the usual activities
of society and has also changed the gen
eral trend of things it is interesting to
note that there has been a compare
tive increase of 25 per cent in the mum
bcr of marriages during the three
months from April first Of this year to
the same time last year.
The fact that many men have enter
ed training camps and gone to the
front has in many cases hastened mar
riaees. From the first of April, 956 mar
riages are noted in comparison with
7S3 last year.
The war has OF course caused the
usual European summer travel to dwin-
die, but to only 50 departures compar-
cd to 95 last year. Sixty five are regis
tered at the present time at foreign
bankers addresses to 143 last year
Strange TO say more people are sum
mering ON their yachts than last year.
Five hundred and seventy six steam
yachts are in commission this year, be-
sides numerous sehooners and sloops on
which many people are cruising. Of the
large yachts owned by prominent New
Yorkers % are registered as having
been Offered and accepted as auxliiar-
les to the United States service.
MANY prominent New York society
men are registered at training camps,
in the regular army service and IN the
ambulance service. Notwithstanding
dire predictions TO the contrary there
seems to be no falling off in the num-
Der of residences at the seaside. Long

WORK ON DRAFT DATA

One hundred volunteer workers for
the District government will begin
work tonight on gathering for the
information of Congress and the War
Department statistics relative to the
draft in the District.
From the registration cards will be
recorded the number OF men register
ed but not called, the number called
and not accepted, and the number
called and accepted. Record will be
made also of the number of married
and single registrants, the number OF
native citizens. naturalized citizens.
aliens, and declarant aliens and the
occupation of each. The work will
require from six to eight nights to
complete.
Volunteers were called for by
Commissioner Brownlow at a meeting

planned that there is no appropria-
tIon for the work. Request for the
information was made by Provost
Marshal General Crowder.

sions must be made before May Is OF
next year. After that date it will
be impossible to make conversions un-
less the United States ultimately is
sues a bond bearing a higher rate
than 4 per cent
Coupon bonds obtained from i'm

Do Not Want Higher Rate.
Two classes of people are not in
terested in the higher interest rate
One is made up Of intensely patriotic
people who do not want to ask Uncle
Sam for more than 3ls per cent inter-
est. The banks report today that
there are a good many people in
Washington of this type. The other
class are the immensely wealthy who
prefer the 81 per cent bonds because
the income from them is not subject
70 income sur taxes The 4 per cent
bond issued recently is subject to in
come taxes for all amounts above
$1,000. The great bulk OF the sub
scribers to both Liberty loan issues
will not have to pay the income tax,
as their subscriptions were below
$4,000.
Investment houses throughout the
country report that in the last few
months many people of great wealth
have persIstently and steadily sought
the first Liberty issue and will not
convert them into 4 per cent bones
at all In this way they escape all
taxation by the United States upon
the income of these bonds.
Many banks in Washington and
elsewhere which subscribed to large
amounts of both issues of bonds have
been trying to j. -eTmine whether II
, will be best for them to retain their
, 3Ik's and not make conversion. Ac-
cording to expert authorities today
however. no Washington bank holds

first issue Of Liberty loan bonds to
make it desirable to retain them
