NEW EXPORT LAW R0BS HOLLAND OF
 SH|P-MAK|NC JOB
America Getting Industry That Formerly Was Con-
 trolled by Dutch.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, Aug. g. Many foreign shipbuilding orders that would have been placed in Holland have gone to America, in consequence of the uncertainty created by the Ship Export law recently passed by the Dutch parliament, according to a complaint just presented to the Min ister of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce by a shipbroker, A. Schip- pers, who represents large shipbuild- ing interests.
 "It is,' he says, remarkable that America has never been able to com pete with Dutch shipbuilders, neith- CT 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 high CT than the prices which our ship builders would ask if there were a free export of ships built in this coun- try"
 The Dutch shipbuilding industry cannot exist without foreign orders, and the livelihood of 16,000 workmen is at stake, according to the petition CT. He points out that while on De- cember 31, 1914, less than 10 per cent of the tonnage building here was being constructed to foreign or ders, this proportion had risen on June 1. 1916, to about thirty -four per cent.
 It is petitioned that the Royal de- cree on the export of ships shall be so amended that ships may at all times be exported, except if it should appear that at the time of their com pletion the state has need of such tonnage.

CECIL SPOONER
 { WRITES OF HER < PLAYERS REST

Cecil Spooner the magnetic little player whose stock company enjoyed a record run of 50 weeks in this city, until, last week, it was closed to give the. tired actors rest of three weeks, has written for The Farmer something about the vacations of her associates, and their plans for the fall. This is Miss Spooner's own story:
 rImagination has a varied career on special occasions and just so did it have during the. past 5U weeks of my successful season in stock production in Bridgeport. My personal imagina- ton was that the public of Bridgeport was too busy to enjoy-did not have spare time to look at one of my pro- ductions-but I found out that they were quite differently inclined for in all my experience on the stage, or dur ing. my. travels I have never yet met as pleasant a set of ladies as I have found in this city.
 The gentlemen have been equally as kind in the recognition of my efforts and that of my company. We closed our season last Saturday night after 50 great and happy weeks in Bridgeport, as we all needed a brief rest. or vaca- tion-"as you like it." Myself and all the family, also MT. Solly, my man. ager, are enjoying ourselves at the Blaneybrook Farm at New Canaan, Conn. Pel1 Trenton is with his mother in the Catskills; Frederic Clayton and family have gone to Staten Island.

British Wounded, Wear Gold Braid,
 As Honor Marks.

London, Aug. 9.-The first veterans of the war wearing the new stripes of gold braid recently decided upon by the War Office as mark of distinc- tion and honor for those who have been wounded in battle have appear ed on the streets.
 Wherever they have appeared the men have been the object of the greatest attention and homage, so much, in fact, that in many instances the recognition of their efforts has been embarrassing.
 The thin stripe of braid is worn on the cuff of the left sleeve-one stripe for each wound

 Hartford, Aug. 9-Frank Kowalski of 213 Main street, Bridgeport, has been arrested in Pittsburgh, charged with having forged the name of Frank Miller. the Bridgeport banker and coal dealer, to a pension check for $49.50. Kowalski was given a hearing before the United States commissioner in Pittsburgh and was held for hear ing in the next term of the United States district court.
 Kowalski says he had been accus- toned to getting mail by special de- livery, in the name of Frank Miller. The certificate was endorsed, he said. by persons who knew he had served in the United States army.

Number of Criminals In London Decreases

London. Aug. 9.-The report on Prisons in Scotland for 1915, just is- sued, reveals a remarkable decrease in the number of criminals dealt with, the lowest since 1869, notwithstand- ing the fact that the population of the country has increased since then by 45 per cent. The decrease is attributed chiefly to the growth of the temperance movement, increased facility for finding employment, and the recent mobilization.
 The number of criminals tabulated in 1915 was 27,340, decrease of 16,- 195 as compared with the total of the preceding year. .-.

UniOnism Broken
 By War, German |.
 Statistics Show

Berlin, Aug. 9.-The membership of the Socialist labor unions of Ber- lin has been reduced more than half as a result of the war. On January 1, 1914, there were 301, 1886 members, and the number had fallen to, 144, 259 on January 1, 1916, a decline of fifty-two per cent. For the six months since elapsed figures are not available, but it is probable that fur ther calls to the colors have left not more than 40 per cent. of the mem- bers at home.
 The membership totals given in clude, however, a large number of fe- male members, SO that the decrease of men members was considerably greater than the percentages indi- cate.
 The number of unemployed has declined steadily. Money support had been granted on January 1, 1915, to 15,334 but this total had dropped on January 1, 1916, to 2,457. The greatest decreases in unemployment were in the case of book printers, woodworkers, and metal workers.
 The influence of the war on the unions treasury is shown by the fact that, while there was a decrease of nearly five and a quarter million marks in receipts, the treasury bal ance increased some 33O,0OO marks in 1915 over 1914. This was, of course, due to the reduced calls made on the treasury. Striking items of

High School Gymnasium


To the casual observer of things per
tanning to school affairs the active in
terest and fine school spirit that has
been shown in and about the high
school the past few months, must have
been particularly gratifying. one of
the chief causes for this awakened in
tercst has been the opening of the
newly equipped gymnasium which has
been made possible by the untiring
work of the High School Mothers Club.
About two months ago an open meet
ing was held in the high school, at
which time a popular subscription was
taken up for the purpose Of installing
apparatus in the gymnasium. The fol-
lowing list of people at once subscribed
for the following amounts.

The first Triangle program ever
shown in southern Oklahoma was eX-
hibited at the Palace Wednesday Of
last week, and there have been more
favorable comments on these pictures
than any that have been shown here
this season. The Palace has so
many good pictures each week that
it is hard indeed to say which is the
best. For story, plot and direction,
the Triangle program is hard to beat,
and seldom equalled. In the opinion
of most movie fans, the nearest ap-
proach to the Triangle pictures are
Fox and Metro, both of which are
also shown at this photoplay house
every week, and are thoroughly en-
ioyed by all who see them. Fox
seems to excel a little in story and
the Metro in photography, but they
are both good in every way.
Valli Valli, the charming and talent
ed actress, is here today in her latest
Metro release, "The Woman Pays
There are many interesting situations
in this absorbing photodrama which
centres around the vanity of a wom-
an, who brings her husband to the
verge of financial ruin and becomes
estranged from him, through her love
for extravaganza and social show.
The theme is handled in a new and
refreshing manner, and Miss Valli
is given ample opportunity to display
her versatile, dramatic talents.
A strong supporting cast appears
with Miss Valli, including Marie En-
press, Edward Brennan and John Z.
Bowers.
