CALL TO HIS DUTY
BREAKS HONEYMOON
Mrs. Donald Goodwin Plays Her
Parts on Stage, While Her
Spouse Patrols Coast.

The war between Huerta and the con-
stitutionalists in Mexico has been
blamed for many things that have hap
pened, both there and in other parts
Of the world, and now it becomes known
that it put the quietus on the honey
moon plans of two loving hearts in
Washington.
1t is known to few people, but is,
nevertheless true, that on october q,
two days before the United states ship
Rhode Island sailed away to do guard
duty on the east coast OF Mexico, Dom
al Goodwin, one of the officers, with his
wedding plans thrown out of gear by
the sudden orders sending him to the
South, was welded and forced to leave
his bride behind almost within the span
of a single day.
Material for n first class romance
is found in the simple news item here
printed for the first time, that on Oc-
tober q, 1915, at Falls Church, Va, in
the ancient little Episcopal Church,
from which the village derived it's name,
the marriage of Miss Hazel May Ken
ney, better known by ner stage name of
Hazel May, and Donald Goodwin, U. S.
N, were welded by the Rev. DR.. An
drew Grinnan, rector of the Falls
Church Episcopal Church.
Only the brides sister, Miss IZetta
Jewel Kenney, and an intimate friend
of the bride and groom, attended the
simple ceremony, which was performed
in the late afternoon. in time for the
bride and her sister to return to Wash
ington to play that same evenin- in
Captain Jinks," in which they were ap-
pearing in the Poll Theater, the brides
mother. Mrs. Lila Kenney, was in Pana-
ma on that date.

better known to the theatergoing public,

Certainly, if the truth is known,
the moral life OF Washington will
stand higher in the estimation Of the
country than it does now, because
of the many false statements in re-
gard to conditions that have become
current in every section of the coun-
try.
To my mind, Washington is one of
the best governed cities in the world,
and I have always delighted to do
full justice to this condition. Now,
that the light has been turned on,
It is necessary that we know the
truth in order that conditions may

sons ought to wear a badge showing
their separation from the state of
matrimony. This ought to be dis
played Just as crepe is displayed
by grief stricken persons who nave
lost a relative by death.
Warwick NJ. Downing, attorney, is
opposed to suppressing divorce cases,
and he made this suggestion today
in discussing the matter. Divorces
not only should not be suppressed,
he thinks, but they ought to be ad-
vertised as widely as possible.
'Of course" said he, 'I suppress
divorce cases when my clients ask
me to do so. but I am opposed to it.

not ashamed that anybody should
know it. They show it everywhere.

proper thing to advertise it, il the
newspapers wouldn't voluntarily give

As a whole, the designs of the dresses

greatly different from the models of to-
day, with the exception OF the fact that
there is even more of a tendency to-
ward the trouser effect.

America is very lucky, though, for he
also tells US that we are capable of max

will supply. and that we may even be
able to sell our silks to France.
In fact, we are even now selling silk
to the home Of the fashions. So we can
have all Of the silk Turkish trousers we

LUMBER INDUSTRY
 IN PHILIPPINES
SIXTY THOUSAND, SQUARE MILES OF VALUABLE TIMBER ON
 ISLAND POSSESSIONS.

Washington, D. C. July 29.LThere are some 6O,00O square miles ot tim Der standing in the Philippines, of which two-thirds is virgin forest, ac- cordng to S pamphlet, 'Iumbering Industry of the Philippines,' just is sued by the bureau of foreign and do. mestic commerce of the department of commerce, as No. SS of it's special agents series. The commercial out put of lumber has been steadily in- creasing and has practically Quad- rupled in the last seven years, amounting to over 112,0o0,00O board feet in l914
 Although the hardwood products Of the Philippine forests rank with the best in the world for cabinet work construction, and various uses in which durability is an essential fac tor, very little of the yearly output has reached the outside world, as the home demand is more than sufficient to absorb the whole present supply. The industry is capable of very great expansion, according to those now en- gased in the business The director Of forestry estimates the amount of timber that could be removed an- nually without diminishing the pro ductiyity of the forests at ten times the present output. Capital is the principal factor necessary to develop the industry.
 American sawmill and woodwork ing machinery will find a promising market as the numbering industry develops. according to the publication. In general the American machinery so far used has been very well liked, and nearly all sawmill and woodwork ing machinery now imported. comes from the Uaited States.

Wheat Prices steadier.

Chicago, July 29-Partly through relief from the stronger houses on change" and partly because of a glimpse of peace in favor of the em- perors of Russia and German agree, the wheat trade today eluded any in stance Of failure and confined wild fluctuations to a bad half hour at the start and to conditions approaching collapse at the finish.
 Stringent calls for margins to a de- gree not permitted by the rules held the volume of trading to less than < quarter of yesterdays gigantic total and largely was the cause of a 4 '1-4 cent extreme decline as compared with last nights wild advance of 1-4 cents.
 Transfers of trades from concerns ia danger of not passing the clearing house furnished the safety valve, ac cording to statements tonight from we'll informed sources. No important firm, however, was said to have needed such aid, the only cripples being minor establishments which felt the suddenness of yesterdays tremendous wreD"'
 Breathing time allowed by todays setback in prices has apparently given ample opportunity to prepare for any new shock. Whereas this morning the board of trade directors considered the advisability of acced. ing to a numerously signed petition to close the exchange to avoid pos sible ruin to dealers, the same direc- tors tonight had to deal with formal complaints that emergency measures to insure safety should not be toleA ated longer. The complaints were that calls for 20 cents a bushel mar gins were a violation of the exchange code and that 10 cents was the only authorized limit. Action on the com plaints was deferred on the ground that no further call for such unusual margins would be thought of after tonight.
 Scenes at the close of the market today were in the sharpest contrast with yesterday, waen the wheat pit was crowded with perspiring brokers frantically shouting an effort to buy at the highest point of the day. When the hour to stop trading ar rived today the price of wheat was at the lowest level of the session and sales were light.
 Spectators crowded the visitors gallery throughout the day and long, lines of men and women outside awaited admission.
