Mr.. j. Frank Howell, president of
the Consolidated Stock Exchange of
New York, issued the following
statement yesterday:
am strongly OF the idea that we
have been running at such pressure
New-York tribune., 1917-12-30

for so long a time that we should
pause. take breath and then start
anew greatly refreshed and inyig-
grated for the short rest. Now sup
pose We follow out this idea by in
stituting something in the form Of
National Food and Fuel Week at once.
during which week all the factories
Of the country shall be compelled 70
take a holiday so that the present
congestion az terminals and along
lines may have a chance 70 right It
self and so that special effort may be
made to forward supplies in food and
fuel So long as fuel keeps piling up
az tide-water terminals and ships
cannot get away through lack Of fuel,
the condition is one that becomes
worse and q radical remedy is the
only sane remedy.
The suggestion is certainly unique.
One thing for which the nation IS
striving with all its might is the at
tainment of maximum production,
and one of the chief difficulties in
the way of achieving the desired end
is that in many cases labor cannot
be induced to work full time. Work
ers are getting such high wages that
they frequently refuse to stay on
the Job more than four or five days
a week. No doubt they would well
come a prolonged holiday, but it is
difficult to see wherein the country
would gain anything by the adop-
ton Of such a scheme.

Local Wilitdnts
As Organization
to Attend Theater

Defence and preparedness societies
all over the country are taking an ac-
tive interest in the successful promot-
ing OF "Womanhood, the Glory of the
Nation" the spectacular preparedness
picture which opens on Wednesday,
MAY 16. at the Majestic theater
The movement locally was started
by members OF the National Security
league, which has 10000 members in
the United States. II was at the sug-
eestion of the New York headquarters
of the league, which used Woman
hood" as a practical demonstration of
the unprepared state OF the United
States should strong, militant foreign
foe suddenly open hostilities.
when "Womanhood" had its re-
markable run at the Broadway theater
in New York recently the members of
the National Security league and
other preparedness societies were 50
insistent in their purchase Of tickets
that It was practically impossible for
persons not connected with some de-
fence society to view the picture.
In order that all OF the members of
the preparedness societies would have
an opportunity to view the wonderful
argument for universal military train
ing the officials of the leading organ
izations arranged with the manage
ment Of the Broadway theater and
Greater Nitagraph for n day to be set
aside for the members of each So
oiety. ON the day stipulated the or
gani2ation members had the first call
for seats after which the general
public was supplied TO the capacity of
the theater.
Present indications are that the at
tendance during the showing of
"Womanhood" will exceed that given
to any film production ever shown in
Tulsa.
