 Large Quantities Since 1914

Washington, Aug. S.-The addition of cotton, sugar and certain sizes of lumber to the embargo list is forecast Investigation of the export figures nations of Europe reveals startling in- creases in their imports of sugar from this country since the beginning of the war.
 Denmark. which imported not a a single pound of American sugar in 1914 and 1915. received 4.S3o,585 pounds during 1916, according to the bureau of foreign and domestic com- merce. The Netherlands imported no sugar from the United States in 1914 and only 169,937 pounds in 1915, but the following year her imports of sugar from this country jumped to 1s.332,170 pounds.
 Still more impressive are the fig ures of American exports to Norway From zero in 1914 Norway's imports of sugar from the United States jumped to 1 ,463,542 pounds in 1915 and to the astounding total of 96,264,- 757 pounds in 1916. Even SwitZer- lad. which received no sugar from this country in 1914 and only no pounds in 1915. took 36.791,230 pounds in 1916.

Militia Charges on Romb-Throwinc Crowd and Breaks Backbone
 of Uprising,

An Atlantic Port, Aug. s-A de- scription of a labor upheaval in Lis bon, Portugal, on July II, only briefly hinted at previously in cable de- spatches, winch seemed to threaten a revolution and resulted in the sus- pension of constitutional guarantees, was brought here today by Gilbert l.. Robinson, representative of a shipping firm, just arrived from Europe. He said the troops were called out and that when a number of them were slaughtered by bombs thrown at them they charged the crowd, killing S5 civilians and arresting 1,500. This broke the backbone of the uprising.
 MT. Robinson, who spent part of the time in Portugal, said the trouble was precipitated by the demand by all classes of workmen for a 70 per cent. increase in pay to meet the high cost of living. with a threat of a general strike if denied. When rioting began, MT. Robinson said, the government or dered out the military. The clash with the rioters occurred in front of Lisbon opera house.

Miss Holland Takes Stroll While Bath
 Is Prepared.


 Is Prepared.
 New York, Aug. 8.-Central Park West was filled with noisy traffic and at the Seventy-second street entrance to the park a policeman was per- spring as he disentangled taxicabs. trucks, surface cars and park equip ages in midafternoonlyesterday, when a young lady wearing not 8 stitch of clothes. and apparently very happy, sauntered majestically down the steps of the main doorway of the Majestic Hotel.
 Her pink skin aglow and unfettered by raiment the girl hesitated a mo- ment on the second step from the bottom, surveyed the busy street and then boldly started across toward the park, near the entrance to which is a lake in which she would have made an excellent "September Morn'' or August afternoon.
 Traffic immediately became more entangled Chauffeurs and drivers stopped instantly to gaze at the pretty picture. The policeman forgot about traffic and the precipitation and pur- sued the young woman. He reached her just as a maid ran from the hotel and both seized her at the same mement, effectively checking any September Morn" intentions.
 She was led back into the hotel while rude men laughed and shocked women hurried away, and there 1t was explained that she was Miss Ger trude Holland, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Timothy Holland, of Plattsburg, N. Y, who are at the hotel. She had been in the basement and a maid had prepared a bath for her, leaving her for a moment after removing her clothes. In that moment Miss Gertrude, who is four, started for the park.

Substitute Cuticura
 For One Week

And make Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment your everyday toilet preparations. They cannot possibly injure the pores. Contrast the purity, fragrance, comfort and convenience of these super-creamy emollients with ''beauty fads" so com mon, tiresome and expensive. A bath with Cuticura Soap and hot water on rising and retiring thoroughly cleanses and stimulates sluggish pores, giving the complexion a fresh healthy glow. If signs of pimples, redness or rough ness be present smear them with the Ointment and let it remain five minutes before bathing. Nothing purer, sweater or more effective for your skin and hair than Cuticura no matter how much you pay for it. ..
