U. S. BARBER UTENSILS
NOW POPULAR ABROAD
Forty-three Foreign Countries Buy
ing American Hairdressing and
Beauty Shop Equipment.

Foreigners like American haircutting
and hair treating instruments, or they
wouldn't buy so many items of Ameri-
ca.--made barber and "bobber" shop
equipment.
According to fgllres just made public
by the Specialties Division Of the De-
partment of Coml-erce, 43 different
countries bought 1880 barber and
beauty shop chairs made in this coun-
try, valued at $117,3l7, during the first
six months of the current year.
These items were not given q sepa-
rate export classification until January
!, 1880, and therefore an accurate COM
pariSon of exports for the first six
months of 1880 with those of previous
periods cannot lie made.
Latin America accounted for 20 per
cent Of the total value. Of the exports
On a regional basis Latin America was
followed by Canada, with $84, 3l0,, as
the second largest market for barber
and beauty parlor chairs. Europe held
third place, with S78,640, and Africa
was the fourth, with $4,l66. The Far
East ranks fifth, with S4,101, followed
by Oceania, with 81 ,450.
The leading individual markets were
Canada and Argentina, which took
more than a. per cent Of our total ex-
ports. Although strong competition u
met from Germany, it is interesting to
note that substantial shipments of bar
Der and beauty parlor chairs have been
made to the United Kingdom, Norway
and France.

ers in Lille, in Northern France, who
Thursday night accepted the compro-
mise proposed by Pierre Laval. minister
of labor, which had already been APP
proved by the employers.
Wages remain unchanged, but the
employers will increase them as soon
as the minister of labor decides that
the cost of living makes higher scale
necessary.
!. Wanted Wage Increase.
This decision, 1t is hoped, will have
q favorable influence on the situation
in the Roubaix- Tourcoing district, near
Lille, where more than 100000 textile
workers have been out for three weeks,
but the movement there shows no sign
Of leSsening. .
In Lille the strike was caused only by
the workers claim for an increase in
wages. In Roubaix and Tourcoing, on
the contrary, it developed from the de-
cided attempt of the workers to destroy
the powerful employers organization,
called the textile consortiuna of Roubaix
and Tourcoing
The workers unionS-Catholic as well
as Socialist-assert that the only aim
Of the consortium is to deprive the work.
ing class of any independence in their
relations with employers through ap-
parently philanthropic measures.
They allege that the consortium's
secretary, a former worker, now en-
joying dictatorial authority over the
employers, won his position through
dishonest means and blackmail. 1t is
charged that during the World War he
was O. paid employee of the German
commandment at Lille and in charge OF
the service supervising compulsory work
among French civilians
Unions Are Supported.
Right or wrong, the point Of view OF
the unions is apparently supported by
the liberal and moderate press and by
the Catholic church authorities and
many employees already have with
drawn from the consortium.,
Now the minister of labor will per-
Bonally handle the situation, trying TO
persuade the workers to resume work
and the employers to discharge their
secretary as soon as the strikes are
ended
Another feature of the Roubaix-
Tourcoing strike is the complete failure |
of the Communist party in its attempt |
to take the lead of the movement and
provoke riots, # not general insurrec-
ton of the workers. While the Socialist
and Catholic strikers are receiving from
their unions q daily dole of 10 francs
rs cents-the members fthe Com
nunist Union get daily allowance Of
only cents.
The situation Of the working class in
the strike district is hard. Nearly
80 600 900 in wages has already been
lost and the unions relief measures are
near their end.

do to play the part is to be natural,
and he does this in his latest picture
with telling effect.
The story of Lightnin Bill and
his divorce ranch straddling the
Nevada California line is an old
one to theatergoers, but the story,
a la Rogers, appears in new trim
mings, as only Will himself could
trim it. Frank Bacon's original
play revolved around a border-line
hotel, halved so conveniently by the
State line that divorce seekers from
California needed only to step to
the Nevada half of the hosiery to
establish the necessary residence
prerequisite to the court proceed
ings.
With situation offering such
possibilities as this for the exercise
of the Rogers brand of wit, it is
but natural that Director Henry
King should let his cowboy actor
have considerable free rein in the
dialogue, with the bowling result
that Lightnin' takes a crack at
everything from matrimony to poll
tics.
There is, for instance, a sly dig
at Republican prosperity" the OBJ
servation that when a lawyer gets

the remark that there's no such
thing as a man being drunk in this
era of bad liquor, "he's either sober
or dead" Wills hand could be dis
cerned also in the explanation of
Lightnin's lawyer friend that there
was no use running for President,
because he was Democrat.
Lightnin'S humor is no more COM
pelling than his pathoS, and the pic
ture has plenty of the latter. The
court room scene in which Light
MIN happens in on the hearing of
his wife's divorce suit, wholly un-
aware of what was taking place, is
fraught with drama that moves.
1t is but fair to state that this
scene as well as others leading up to
it-could not have been so effective

Mrs. Jones. Mention also is due

FUNDS ASKED HERE
IN PROBATION DRIVE
National Association Aims to
Spread Work for Children
Through United States.

The National Probation Association,
headed by George w. Wickersham,
chairman of the National Commission
on Law Observance and Enforcement,
issued an appeal today for funds with
which to organize and extend probation
work in the United States. Newbold
Noyes Is sponsoring the appeal in the
District of Columbia
According to the statement given out
by the headquarters of the National
Probation Association in New York City,
there are 1000 probation officers in the
United States, more than half of whom
are employed in 6 out of the 48 States.
The majority of the rural counties and
many of the larger cities are still with
out probation service. There are still
States where the probation law applies
to only a few courts, others where it Is
Statewide in theory.
Ten Have Adopted Law.
"Of the 48 States, only TO-" stated
the association, may be said to have
adopted probation administratively in
any sort of complete or Statewide
sense. There is not single State in
the Union where one cannot find chill
dren in jails."
In order to correct these conditions,
the National Probation Association Is
making an intensive effort to extend
probation and juvenile courts into every
section of the country. In indorsing
the National Probation Association
petition in Washington, Mr.. Noyes made
the following statement:
"Our crime problem in washington

and those who have made first mis-
step. we can go far toward solving this

NEW YORK, May 22.-Exactly a

operating at peak capacity for all
time and naturally makes compar-
!sons with business of today appear
a lot worse than it really is. Be-
ginning next month comparisons
should be decidedly less unfavor-
able, Considering the preponder-
ance of bearish propaganda and the
bear pressure exerted against the
market at times, recently, surprising
ly little public liquidation has re-
suited. Professional operations have
been following the line OF least
resistance and continue to con-
tribute largely to the volume of
the trade. Lack of incentive and no
apparent basis for an early revival
of bullish activities has restricted
public participation and resulted in
an Indifferent attitude. Just what
may develop to remove this apathy
is indefinite. Further contraction in
the brokers loan accounts, which
seems likely at least will give added
emphasis to the stock markets
