Resilient Milk
Bounces OF Pate

William II. Highington. 81, OF
3221 NJ street northwest, was struck
on the head by pint bottle full
OF milk while standing at the cor
ner of Thirty-third and NJ streets
northwest yesterday. The bottle
fell from a second-story window
at $40 M street, struck Highing-
ton on the head and rolled to the
street. None Of the milk was
spilled.
Scientists Of the police depart
ment last night estimated the bor-
tie was falling with the force of
more than fifty foot pounds when It
struck Highinston's head. He suf-
fered only a slight scalp wound
and refused hospital treatment.
The bottle had been sitting In
the window Of second-floor room
when 5-year-old Andrew Coleback
accidentally struck 1t and knocked
It out. The marvel that the bottle
did not break and that the mans
wound was so slight was said to bc
due to the resiliency of the milk
an the bottle, which absorbed the
major part of the shock.

Schippers. who represents large shipbuilding in terests.
 "It is." he said, remarkable that America has never been able to com pete with Dutch shipbuilders. neither before nor during the war, but that so soon as Holland was closed to the export of ships the United States has booked big orders for the building of vessels for European firms. at prices that are fabulOusly high -- much higher than the prices which our ship builders would ask if there were a free export of ships built in this country"

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 21. - The American demand was probably the most conspicuous feature of the statis. tical Australian wool year of 1915-l6, during which Antipodean wool trade and prices for certain grades of the pruduct reached figures never before known in Australia.
 During the year in the Sydney mar ket alone the United States more than doubled the quantity Of wool taken during the previous pear. The total shipments jumped from 92.OO0 bales in 1914-15 to 273. .OO0 bales Cestimated) in 1915-l6 Japan and Italy were also heavy buyers Had not the imperial embargo operated against American purchases just at the close of the year it is probable that the figures for that country would have been still larger.
