r TWO THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON. SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1917. AFTER the gayety of last week, with its stellar event the tenni tournament, not to meatioa be numerous pienies, dinners and other in formal affairs, the wack just ended has been unusually dull and stupid. Mont everybody baa gone away for . the summer, and those who have not are flying to their favorite resorts ae fast a ever they can. There is a temporary closing of the homes in town, and the center of all social activity is being transferred to the summer resorts. It is very gay at the beaches these days, and it would seem as if all society .were out for a summer 'a frolic. In no ether amusement do grownups revert to the joys and freedom of child hood as at the beach, l'erhaps this is the reason that a stay at the shore proves so beneficial after the routine of the winter activities. Society folk who are left in town have retired into a convenient period or dullness, so it seems, that is enliv ened only by golf, tennis, picnics and other out of door sports. Motor trips are a favorite pastime with many again this season, and Oregon is being discov ered as a playground of wonderful fai-eination- The definite variety of the scenery aad the fruitful richness of the land makes this part of the state a garden of continued enchantment. To see it 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 aad Mrs, George O. Bingham left -today for an outing at Neskowin, and will be away for about two weeks. They motored to the beach and wore accompanied by their son-in-law and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Keith I'owell, ' and small aoa of Lafayette. Society folk win regret to bid good live to the George Palmer Putnaans, who with their small son, David Binnoy Put nam, are leaving next week for Bend cn route cant. Although as yet their plans are in definite the Putnam expect to event ually make their home in the east. Until after the war however,, Mrs. Putnam and David will be with the fami ly in New York, as Mr. Putnam, in all probability, will soon go to France. Since coming to Halero from Bend a few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Putnam have been a delightful acquisition to the married set, and will be much miss ed by their many friends. V"" 15,000,000 X 5,. A Messages WAR JUNE JULY AUG. SEP OCT. NOV. DEC. JAN. FEB. MAR. APR. MAY S High Tide Telephone Traffic This chart shows the extraordinary growth of the long distance traffic in the Bell System under war con ditions. It does not show the tremendous advance in the price of raw materials, which enter into the manufacture of telephone equipment more than doubled since the war began. It does not show the increase in the price of labor and the shortage of both labor and materials, which have set a definite limit to the increase in tele phone facilities. The entrance of this Nation in the great war was the signal for the Bell System to pledge its entire service, un reservedly to the Government. As our military strength grows and we become larger participants in the great war, the demands of the Gov ernment upon our service will continue to increase, and . . must always be met An extraordinary increase in telephone traffic, due to ' the unprecedented commercial and industrial activity incident to the war, must also be adequately provided for. Like other resources of the Nation, our resources must be conserved, and we appeal to the American public, al ways patriotic to the core, to assist us in meeting these extraordinary conditions by avoiding as far as possible wasteful and extravagant use of the service.

Some interesting features relating to tho summer social season in'Xew York and other placos in the cast are brought out by a comparison of the' summer so cial registers of this year and last. Although tho war has brought about a 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 compara tive increase of 25 per cent in the num ber of marriages during the three months from April first of. this yeaT to the same time, last year. The fact that many men have enter ed training camps and gone to the front has in many eases hastened mar riages. From tho first of April, 950 mar riages are noted in comparison with 783 last year. The war has oi' course caused the usual European summer travel to dwin dle, but to only 82 departures compar ed to 5 last year. Sixty five ar regis tered at the present time at foreign bankers' addresses to H3 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 Bchooners and sloops on. which many people are cruising Of the large yachts owned by prominent Newi Vnrknr. ire reeistered s having been offered and accepted as auxiliar ies to the Fluted States service.
