PERTURbED OVER INCREASING DROP
 IN BOAT TRAFFIC
Present Year Most Inactive Experienced Along Water Front.
MOTOR TRUCKS ONE
 CAUSE OF SITUATION
Business Usually Booming By Middle of May Now at
 Standstill.

T don't know what it is" remarked an official about the steamboat dock
 recently. that makes shipping in gen eral so dull this year. but I do know that the present year is one of the most inactive that we have ever ex- perienced in my whole history as mariner in these parts
 Every winter naturally the ship ping drops off lot and then in April it begins to pick up again and by May
 it is usually booming and we always have our hands full, but not so this year. Every one knows of the big marine strike that lasted for over two months in New York last February and up to the first part of May and many are inclined to blame this trouble In a way for the inactivity
 now, but it is not so. Perhaps 1t is on account of the conditions that fol- low every war, but it beats me how 1t dropped off so suddenly since De- cember, 1917. There is plenty of foodstuffs and other modities that need to be shipped and Uncle Sam is building up one of the largest mer- chant marines in the world, but Bridgeport evidently isn't on the maps those fellows use in New York. It is true that we have enough to keep us busy. but all that comes in lately is barely Bridgeport's need. In years before Bridgeport was one center of the shipping industries for Connecti- cuti but everything is seemingly going by rail or automobile now to all those cities that were formerly supplied by Bridgeport's harbor.''
 He continued: "A likely theory for shis condition that I would not hesi- tate in advancing is this. During the war when there was a big drive made for the use of automobile trucks in stead of railroads and boats in the meantime giving those over to Uncle Sam, so the country could transport all the war necessities, many mer- chants adopted the slogan, Save a. l freight car for Uncle San1,'' and took l to the motor trucks, consequently | they have found the efficiency in this means of transportation and now | have adopted these trucks for all ! time. Otherwise I am puzzled" the | official concluded.

DIRECTOR TURNS FIREMAN

John Ince, Metro, director, shared hero honors with Bob Dickson, wounded Canadian war veteran, when a large barn housing more than a hundred head of cattle burned down near Eagle Rock, Cal.
 Ince was scouting for location scenes for "A Favor to a F'riend'' in which he directed Emmy WehIen. when Dickson, who has a part in the picture and was driving the direc- tors car, pointed out cloud of smoke rising behind a clump of trees.
 The car was stopped and they jumped out and ran toward the smoke, which they saw was pouring from a large barn. Just as they came up the flames burst from the upper windows with a roar, and in side they heard stamping and below ing.
 We must get those animals out said Thee, and fumbled with the latch
 women and children cows first!' he cried, but not an animal stirred Ince and Dickson had to throw a sack over the head of one of the an- imals and lead it out. By that time the rancher and his workmen were on the scene, and between them they got all the cattle safely out. The roof fell in. and then the hay loft col Iapsed, sending several tons of hay to the ground
 Ince and Dickson were thanked by the owner for their prompt action.

LOVE VERSUS ROUGH STUFF

The next time Scott Dunlap pre- pares to film a love scene with Albert Ray and Elinor Fair. he will first make sure that there Is not some di- rector within hearing distance who
 is putting on a prize fight scene with a mob of vociferous spectators a the rinGside.
 Director Dunlap to Ray and Miss Fair, and the two young lovers in Be a Little Sport" came close to each other. while Ray murD1ured: Wont you be my wife, dear?''
 JSst then came an uproar from the adjoining studio, where Tom Mix was working on a Western picture, High Speed" directed by Edward L. Je Saint Hit 'em in the jaw! Now fer an uppercut! A right hook! He's groggy! Hang 1t on his eye!' rang out from a mob of 300 extras who were watching a terrific battle be- tween Tom Mix and his opponent.
 Mir. Ray and Miss Fair, startled from their tender love scene, paused in the action. and the cameraman was forced to quit grinding. The uproar from the Mix company died down. Dunlap turned to his stars and called out: Let's go on."
 The love scene was resumed, only to be halted again by another out burst from the mob of fight fans. Dunlap shook his head in despair. "I guess we'll have to get out of here, or we'll all get the spirit and you two lovers will be applying cave man methods to each other" So house and furnishings were pick ed up by the carpenters and property men and moved to another stage. where the scene was resumed in a more appropriate atmosphere.
