compared with 6,351 ships measuring 6,621,47 in 1915.
 Traffic with Spain, Russia, Ruman- ia and many other European coun- tries is entirely at a standstill. and that with Africa almost in a like con- dition. Nearly half Rotterdams s ship ping traffic was carried on with Britain, Norway and Sweden. The other half was with the United States and Argentina, whence came the country's grain imports.
 A large part of the Rhine fleet was employed in the transport of gravel from Germany and Holland over in land waterways to Belgium. This material is destined for German mill itary and other uses. and its convey ance through Dutch waters has not been viewed with much favor to the Entente Powers. Holland maintains such transport is permissible under international law and that in these circumstances strict neutrality for bids prevention of the traffic. An- other considerable part of the Rhine fleet, in the absence of the usual busy traffic with Germany, was char tered to carry coal from Belgium (Antwerp) to Germany Switzerland, Scandinavia and Holland.
 Germany, Austria and Belgium be- ing cut off from the Netherlands East Indian market, and Britains S supplies being mostly confined to textile goods and fertilizers. the re- port says America and Japan took advantage of the position to consider ably increase their sales to the East Indies. America supplied more ma- chinery and ironware than formerly, and her exports to those colonies are expected to increase. It Is probable, Tn the chambers opinion, that Japan will continue to serve the Nether- lands East Indian market after the war fill an important role as middle man between the present belligerent countries, whose commercial rela- tions may not at first be of the best description

Austrian Emperor Narrowly Escapes
 Being Taken Prisoner.

Geneva, Sept. 21.--An official Aus trian telegram from Landeck, in the Tyro1. states that Emperor Charles with a large staff in automobiles wis., 1ted the Alpine outposts of the Aus trians in the Trentino, and that his visit took place Sept. 15.
 After crossing the huge Ortler gla- cier on foot, and also the Trafoier glacier whose summit the Italians pos- sessed, the Journey was continued on stelvio pass within 500 yards of the Italian trenches on the ice The tele- gram declares that the emperor's s visit was brave, but risky, and adds, "although the attention of the enemy was attracted by the important escort, the emperor's descent from Stelvio pass was performed without incident.'
 A Lugana report, confirmed by Swiss troops watching on Stelvio pass states that the emperor and his whole staff narrowly escaped capture be- cause the Italian commander was 1n- formed by an aviator that many auto mobiles were in the vicinity. The Ital- ian troops thereupon attacked and captured an Alpine outpost while the royal motor party fled down the Stel- vlo route under machine gun fire. The party, however, arrived safely at Prad and then proceeded to Meran.

 The whole means hard seven hours of work for the entire staff of mechanics. They settle down to 1t as a matter of routine. Every time machine comes back from the lines 1t has to be overhauled, perhaps dis mantled. New gadgets must be fitted, the engine repaired and cleaned. Air planes are after all very delicate pieces of mechanism and need con- tinued attention. Without 1t they are useless, even dangerous.

 The airplane mechanic doesn't share tho dangers of the field or the hard ships of the infantrymen or artillery men, but he has endless work, and a very heavy responsibility. When there is heavy air fighting he must frequent ly work all day and all night and woe betide the pilot if he should skimp any of his work. Upon his shoulders rests the strength of the squadron and its efficiency.
 The officer in charge of the aero- drome during the night hours is known as the "Orderly Officer. Warmly clad, to keep out the chills of the night he walks around the busy sheds and hangars, now and then off,

GROOMING PLANES
 NIGHT TASK OF WAR
Constant Attention Demanded by
 "Eyes of the Army"

Behind the British Lines in France, August 29, Correspondence of the As- soclated Press-Night, as we'll as day, Is full of work and hustle at an army aerodome. Night flights are not fre- quent, but the night Is the time when the mechanics are busiest, putting everything right for whatever tomor- row may bring forth.
 Long after the sun has sunk be- meath the tops of the hangars and the trees have changed from green to black, the hard-worked airplanes drift homeward, crossing the evening sky like black specks on purple cloth and landing with a deep droning on the clipped grass, lame and weary from a long afternoons work over the lines.
 The days work is finished; reports are handed in, and the pilots saunter down to their mess-tent among the trees. The mechanics appear, wheel the machines into their respective hangars, and the nights work is be- gun.
 It IS nlleS 10 the Shell-hOleS or No Mans Land, and all the horrors of war The long white road, thick with the dust of transport, is silent. The flat aerodrome is in darkness but the hangars, looming black against the evening sky, are bright within. There is much to be done. Mazes of wires must be overhauled; many must be replaced or tautened. The enemy anti aircraft artillery has been active and some of the planes bear witness of it's work The canvas wings of one ma- chimes are riddled and need long and

MOTION PICTURES SHOW
METHOD Of INCREASING
GEORGIA PORK SUPPLY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 24.-As
a means of helping to increase the
pork supply. the United States Depart
ment If Agriculture has released to
the motion picture theatres, through
one of the large motion picture coh-
NAMES. a film showing the work OF
the boys pug clubs which the depart
ment is organizing in all parts of the
country in cooperation with the ex-
tension divisions of the state agri-
cultural colleges The film shows
methods of instru ting boys, and In
some instances girls, who have joined
the agricultural clubs, how to raise
better pigs and the methods used
by club members in carrying out III
structions. The first lesson taught In
the film story is that it costs no more
to feed and care for the pig OF care
fully selected stock than the scrub,
while the results in meat produced is
greatly in favor or the weli-oreo AMI
NAL. The picture shows further how
to feed and care for the pigs, how to
protect them from disease and how
to shelter them from the inclemency
OF winter and the heat of summer
The results of wise selection and in
telIinpent care are shown in the well
groomed, fat healty porkers wearing
the prize ribbons they have won at
county and state fairs.

in Louisiana in 1910. Now approx

PURE FOOD AND DRUG
LAW A GREAT SUCCESS

WASHINGTON Dec. 24.-Ten years
o. enforcement OF the Food and
Drugs act /of June 30, 1906, are re-
viewed in the current annual report
o, the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
which says that the acts chief con
tributions to the peoples health ahve
been its corrective effective upon the
drug and patent medicine industry,
its control in trade Of unclean milk,
polluted, decomposed or filthy foods,
and protection of foodstuffs from con-
limitation with poisons likely to be met
in manufacture.
The general effect of the Food and
Drugs act may best be estimated, says
the report, by considering its etece
upon food and drug control by the
safes; upon development Of the food
and drug industries and by the prin-
cipal abuses that have been corrected
But to illustrate the scope of thework
through figures and facts the report
points out that more than six thousand
prosecutions have been terminated IN
the courts in the first decade OF the
act; that manufacturers have been
cited at hearings more than forty
thousand times, that many thousands
oe factory inspections have been made,
ard that more than seven hundred and
fifty thousand shipments OF domestic
o? imported food and drugs have been
examined.
Special attention has been given TO
shipments of polluted or spoiled food.
Milk shipped in interstate commerce
and imported from Canada has been
improved in cleanliness, purity, and
the condition OF sanitation under
was produced Other products in
whose handling and sale improvement
has been noted include mineral water
tomato products, fruit vinegar and
gelatine
One consequence of the enactment
of the food and drugs act was to en-
courage similar legislation in many
of the states the purpose of which is
to control local traffic in food and
drugs which since no interstate COM
MERGE is involved, are not subject to
the federal laws. A state could not
prosecute manufacturer unless he
were citizen of that state. The fed
eral law supplements the state law
in this respect and now most of the
states have similar laws.

There are a great many people
who would be very much benefited
by taking Chamberlain's Tablets for
a weak or disordered stomach. Are
you one of them? Mrs. M. R. Scarf,
Baldwinville, N. Y, relates her ex-
perience in the use of these tablets:
81 had bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was
troubled TO rtwo or three weeks with
gas and severe pains in the pit Of
my stomach. Our druggist advised
me to take Chamberlain's Tablets. l
took bottle home and the first dose
relieved me wonderfully, and l kept
on taking them until | was cured"
These tablets do not relieve pain, but
after the pain has been relieved may
prevent it recurrence.
