in spite of an increase in membership

the notion rests theoretically today on
success of the fleet commanded by
Rear Admiral Helm, which was steam-
ing out into the Atlantic in search of
the “enemy" fleet under Admiral
Mayo. bound for American shores
with an imaginary army of invasion
in thirty transports. ' It was the sec-
ond day of a great naval hide and go
seek game.
Not the least important aid to the
defending fleet was the Navy Depart-
ment with its means of gathering in-
formation on the invade whereabouts
from merchants' vessels at sea.
Bent over their desks in the Bureau
of Communications. naval officers who
have made special study of codes
worked ceaselessly to solve the riddle
of the enemy's code system. They
had as material a number of wire-
less messages transmitted by Admin
al Mayo's ”red" fleet, picked up by
ships of Admiral Helm's “blue" de-

DANCING MASTERS
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Tbe old-
fasbioned waltz will supplant the
acrobatic tango in the ballrooms of
the nation, if the National Association
of Dancing Masters has any influence.
.In convention here the dancing profess-
ors decreed that the tango must go.
The waltz. the one-step and the fox-
trot will be the fashionable favorites
this season.
“Dancers are tiring of the tango
and other similar dances." said
Thomas McDougall. of Pittsburgh,
president of the association. “The
old-fashioned waltz always led up to
the time the tango made its appear-
ance and we propose to re—estabiish it.
I don’t mean that the tango is tobe
done away with entirely; we are going
to devise it new and conservative form
for this dance, the feature of which
will be simplicity."

night, if the weather bureau’s expec-

pressure areas over Mdnltoba and the
St. Lawrence Valley, which were the
immediate cause of tho high temper-
atures, are moving eastward and are
expected to draw coolor air from the
upper lake region in their wake.
The forecaster said last night that
yesterday's hot weather wu made
bearable by the fact that humidity
was not as high as usual with temper
