At the Albin Hotel in Quay

31st, under the direction of
Manager Willoghby or that ex-
cellent hostelry, there was given
one of those delightful dances
that do so much toward enliven-
ing the social life of the Sonora
Metropolis.
There were fully 100 couples
on the floor and the spacious
ballroom was ablaze with light
and color, while the merry dancr
ers 'tripped the light fantastic
utnil the early hours of the
morning.
There were present a number
of officers of the U. S. S. Rainier
and the official staff of the
Mexican gunboat Guerrero was
represented also.
The genial and popular Irish
consul, Manager Willoughby of
the Albin, proved a most affable
host, Notwithstanding the fact
that he was hurt and depressed
over the failure of Mr.. Dix to ar
rive. The latter was a boyhood
chum and a one-time business
associate of Mr.. Willoughby, and
the thought of the reunion, with
it's wake of memories of early
and happy days, was stimulat-
ing in the extreme.

A Noted Lecturer.

At the Santa Cruz Club, on
Thursday evening at 9>o'clock,
Meddie Oving-Hamilton, field
secretary of the Chautatuqua
Institution, Chautauqua and
Lyceum lecturer, will deliver a
lecture, the subject of which is
"The American Idea-The Larg-
er Democracy" The lecturer is
backed by the Santa Cruz Club
and Chamber of Commerce and
"a general invitation is extend
ed. All who are interested in
the coming Chautauqua course
should attend.
Wherever Miss Hamilton goes
she Graves opportunity to say
something about the Chautau-
qua home reading work which
she represents. This can be
done at separate meeting, but
if permitted she knows how to
introduce it along with her regu-
ar address so as to enhance, not
ldetract from the presentation of
the theme. Whatever author or
whatever subject she treats, it
is always in terms not only of
health, optimism, and idealism.
as generally understood, but of
social ideals, of brotherhood, of
human progress. Whene she
commends the C. L. S. c. to her
hearers, she does so as offering
a service. She points the way
to personal progress and social
jhelpfulness, makes concrete and
practical what might easily be
vague, tantalizing and unfruit-
Iful. She has spoken at colleges
and normal schools, before city
and state federations of women S
clubs, at religious gatherings,
and at the largest summer as
semblies in the country, includ-
ing our own. Wherever she has
appeared she has not only won
enthusiastic praise for herself,
but has given a marked quick
ening to the interest that she
has at heart.
The c.. L. S. c., like all depart
ments of Chautausua lnstltu-
ton, is conducted on a strictly
educational basis and in con-
formity to the charter OF the In
stitutior1, without financial
profit.

 B. J.--No, they are displaced.
 L. S.-As far as these 50 are con- cerned, to begin with. your system falls through; more is produced, and they get nothing, being thrown out of work
 B. J.--Hemr
 U. S.-Now, let us return to the 50 who are kept at work.
 B. J.--Well they get something.
 U. S.-That is not enough for your system; they must not only get something, they must get more than they did before because they are pro- ducing more. Now, do they get more
 B. J.-W-
 U. S.-But they don't get any less.
 U. S.-At first not; later on, yes. The men who are thrown out of work won't starve; they'd rather work for $1 than do nothing and die. So they apply for work at $1. And the result is that, whereas before 100 men were getting $2 a piece. now that the labor in that shop turns out with the ma chine more than before 50 of the men get nothing and go tramping, and the other 50 get onehalf of what they did before. That is the cause of the dis content.

ENGLISH LORD ADVOCATES
 SIX HOUR DAY

Lord Leverhulme, head of a great
 English soap industry, the capital of
 which is POO million dollars, has very pronounced views as to the effect of the great war on the future position
 of the nations workers.
 A St Louis paper says:
 Lord Leverhulme is himsee ;t model
 employer, having provided for his | work people a model town in which they live under delightful social con-
 ditons, and having provided also fa- { cilities by which they may secure di- rect financial interest in the concern in which they are wage earners.
 Tt may. think be taken for grant, ed" he says, that when peace is re- stored, workers will not be willing | to return to pre-war conditions of ] wage and living. 1 am convinced they vii never concent to go back to them. '"rhe war has altered many things; it has broadened our horizon; it has given us new points of view; it has 1 clarified our thoughts; it has intro l duced radical changes into our social, | industrial and commercial systems. Many men have for the first time tasted and enjoyed the full fruits of | labor; they have grown accustomed to a higher plane; they will strive to | remain on that level and, if possible rise above it. and with this aspiration I am in ful sympathy and accord. And ] if, after the war any attempt should be made to thrust labor back into the | depths from which it has ascended it
 would be, in my opinion, not only a | disastrous economic blunder but a policy akin to a crime against civil
 ization and humanity,
 "The humdrum life led by the vast
 majority of the industrial class is | little understood by those whise lines are cast in pleasant places. l doubt if even InOSe NnO nave DeeH Nll II 1 from it to face the dangers, excite
 ment and hardships of the trench and
 the battle line vii care to enduce it
 again.
 "The only way in which this dreary,
 mind numbing, soul deadening monot-
 ony can be relieved is by the adoption
 of a 6-hour working day. While the | mechanical machine would run for twelve hour day instead of eight,
 the human machines, if I may use the | phrase. would consist o& two shifts, each working six hours. l am a great | advocate of this.
 | And the extra hours of leisure
 could be devoted to mental or physical
 development, thus fitting the workers
 iur higher things. re ideal may not ! be attainabl" at Ince. but it is worth 1 striving for. The Peoples Press.
