inquiries already for very large ton mage of copper to be delivered during the closing six months of 1917. When negotiations for 500,0O0,000 or more pounds of copper are opened formally domestic consumers undoubtedly will flock into thp market and make heavy purchases.
 So far as I know there is an accumu- lating demand for only three standard commodities, namely, dyestuffs, potash and copper. AS the worlds principal dyestuffs manufacturing industry and the potash mines are in Germany these commodities cannot be shipped to the rest of the world where they are needed. While the European war has not made it necessary for a sin gle copper mine anywhere in the world to reduce it's production, it has cut off from access to the markets Germany, Austria and Belgium, which formerly purchased between 500, 100000 and 600,000,0oo pounds of copper annually.
 Just as it may be expected that the textile mills and fertilizer manu- factories of the United States will i'm port immense amounts of dyestuffs and potash from Germany immediate ly following the restoration of peace in Europe, so it is certain that Ger many, Austria and Belgium will i'm port from the United States a trem- endous tonnage of copper. Those who view this situation from a speculative standpoint must realize, therefore, that the only opportunities now pre- senting themselves to make purchases in anticipation of an after-the-war de- mand are limited to copper and the copper mining shares.
 It may be that the metal is still too high to purchase for speculation; but it does not follow necessarily that the present level of prices should restrain the consumer, who has orders on his boks, from covering his requirements

in full. Certainly there is no basis for assurance that copper will sell very much lower either before the war ends or for long time thereafter, the req son being that copper has been and is in distinctly different position than most other commodities. Just as the war is making an excessivedemandf for this metal now, so the deferred de- mand can be depended upon to make a strong market for it during many months if not for years following the wars end.

In the Days of Old In the days of old,
 In the days of gold

In the days of Forty-nine
 The hands of Time were turned back sixty years or more when the Morenci Dramatic Club held a Forty nine camp last Friday night at the home of Vim. Porri.
 The booted miners in their red
 flannel shirts formed colorful back ground for the picturesque indians, COW girls and dance hall queens who were portrayed by the fairer members. There were faro games, chuck-a-luck and stud poker at which the hardy miners and their fair partners could risk their candy chips, furnished free by the hosts, and many a fortune was won and eaten that night. A modern Arizona bar was running in full blast. The thirsty received first aid in ninety proof ginger ale and eight-year old, aged in wood grape juice. Miss Grace Towle and Frank Bowen entertained with a cowbody dance. A short sketch taken from ''The Shooting of Dan McGrew' was given during the affair with great success. In conclusion of the affair an excellent lunch was served and a social time enjoyed with piano selec- tions by Roscoe Wright The even. ing was voted a dramatic as well as a social success.
 The Morenci Dramatic Club is recent organization and the members are as follows: MT. and Mrs. David Forester, Misses Grace Towle, Imo- gene Hitchcock, Lillian Svedman, Maude Wright, Georgia Harrison, Kathryn Hudson and Messrs. w. Por- ri, J. Arthur Wehr, Frank Bowen, Roscoe Wright, Bud Shanley, Peg Love, w. G. Landers, Dr. Hixon and Fred Lynch.

CRIME IS DOUBLED
BY EXCESSIVE HEAT
Given Claims Petty Ofenses Are
Due to Hot Weather.

The hot wave il responsible for the
100 per cent increase In crime In the
District. according to Assistant
United States Attorney Ralph Given.
This increase has not yet made itself
felt in the more serious offenses, but
among cases of assault, disorderly
conduct and like misdemeanors.
And yet Mr.. Given makes allow
ance for the fact that such weather.
as we have been having for the past
week is almost enough to make a
man use swear words. Still it Ia no
legal excuse for wife beaters. razor
artists, brick hurlers and rolling pin
champions. The hotter 1t gets. the
more easily a person gets riled and
when he does get riled he is apt to
do things which he would never think
of doing had he just gotten through
sweeping the snow of the side
walk.
There has been no great increase in
drunkenness, but more speeders are
hailed into court, more vagrants are
rounded up and thieves are a trifie
more active than they are in the
winter months. Folks travel around
more these days, remarked Mr.. Given.
and either they go to trouble or 1t
comes where they are. A cool spell
lasting several days would materi-
ally lessen the number of offenders
brought into court thinks Mr.. Given.

PICK NEW GENERALS
FROM REGULAR ARMY
Colonels and Majors Will Be Com
missioned Brigade Commanders.

General officers for the new ma
tional army will be named within a
few days. They must be nominated
by the President and confirmed by
the Senate. They will probably not
assume command until the new army
is formed in its cantonments during
September.
Secretary Baker said yesterday that
the major portion of these general
affairs would be taken from the
ranks of the regulars. Colonels,
majors and even some captains in
the regular establishment will be
given commissions as brigadiers in
the new army.
Mr.. Baker refused to say whence
the general officers exclusive of
regulars will be chosen. It Is gen.
orally assumed, however. that they
will be picked from among the best
qualified men of the National Guard.
