slightly as compared to the previous month and there was a 31 per- cent increase in unemployment claims over June, which was due wholly to the shortage of metals.
 Bristol
 Industrial activity in the Bristol area is practically unchanged since last month; the labor market con- tinueS to be thin and the bulk of the high school graduates of June have been absorbed.
 All of the industries of the com munity are very busy but possible material shortages lend an air of uncertainty to the entire picture; barring shutdowns- on that account the prospects for the near future are exceedingly bright.
 In this area, as elsewhere, there seems to be a decided increase in the number of out-of-state applicants, most of whom are unskilled.
 Torrington
 The industrial situation seems to have become more stabilized during July and, although men with special skills are readily absorbed, no new large orders for help developed. Shortages still exist in farm hands and many orders for dornestics re- main thrilled because registrantS are unwilling now to take this type of employment. Although a large num- Der of married women are registered in this area resistance of employers to this type of workers has not en- tirely disappeared and not all of them could be placed. All available construction labor has been absorb ed and more could be placed.
 There was a decrease in new reg istrationS for jobs during July with 404 applications being filed during the month and 280 renewed.

shall be laid to cover the amount ap- propriated.'
 From the above 1t can be seen that no money can be spent for any purpose unless it has been appropriated for in the budget, ap- proved by the board of aldermen during the month of December in each year, unless the special ap- propriation is accompanied by a special tax levy. Because of these restrictions 1t is evident that even though there have been over-col- lections of estimated budget reve- nues this money can not be expen- ed during the year in which the collections are made but can only be used to finance the following years budget.
 T hope this will tend to clarify how the city's surplus is created and also as to how it may be ex- pended"

FLY FLIppERS
 MATCHED WITH
 WORM FISHERS
Colorado Has Yardstiek for Measuring Trout Fish,
 mans 5 Efficiency
By ROBERT K. GEIGER AP Feature Service

DENVER, March 31. - Colorado has a yardstick for measuring a trout fisherman's efficiency.
 Preliminary results indicate a worm fisherman is just as good a fisherman, from an efficiency standpoint if not in the social scale, as fly flipper.
 But there isn't anything defi- nite yet that might settle the long standing debate whether a trout s color blind and fails to appreci- ate the rainbow hues of all the gaudy gadgets used as lures by some fishermen.
 We started the thing, last veal md plan to keep it going in the coming season." says c. N. Feast chief of the Colorado Fish ant Game Division.
 We assigned two employees to patrol 13 miles of the South and Middle St. Vrain creeks, near Ly- ,ns, Colo. We dumped 5000 legal size fish, seven to nine inches long, into the stream.

 The Captain of the Italian ship s charged with an "act of war real inhuman" The Italian Motorship Ieme, with its engines and other equipment sabotaged, was seized here and taken to the Tongue Point Base by the Coast Guard. Later the Dan ish motorship Nordest. one of Dem marks finest motorships, was in pos session of the Coast Guard at Ap- rdeen.
 Officers and crews of both vessels were taken in custody.
 Capt. Hans Lockenvitz commented that he had been expecting seizure ,f his ship for several weeks, but Capt. Giovanni Polonio of the Leme sked the reporters not to make ne talk so much" He explained his crew sabotaged the ship because she was going to be seized by your coun- try"
 Polonio predicted war will likely come as the result of the action.

First Lady, East Indies,
 From U. }.
By AP Feature Service

BALTIMORE, Md, March 31.- A Baltimore born American is the first lady of the Dutch East Indies. She is the wife of the Governor General.
 And as Japanese forces move unto Indo-Chjna. just 600 miles away from the Dutch archipelago rich with oil. tin and rubber, Goy.-Gen. and Mrs. A. w. L. Tjarda von stark enborgh Stachouwer, find them selves in the spotlight of lnterna- tional affairs.
 They reside in the classic, one story Batavian palace. War alreaoy has touched their home. Their eider daughter, g, was in Holland when the Germans invaded. The other' age 16, is at home.
 It was at the time Of that other war that they were wed. She was Christine (now its Chistina) Mar burg. daughter of Theodore Mar burg of Baltimore, former minister to Belgium. They had met in Bel gium when she was Bryn Mawr graduate. They were married III 1915 in Baltimore, when Starken- borgh was a young attache to the Netherlands legation in Washing ton
 Like Mrs. Coolidge
 He has climbed up the diplomatic ladder. until now he is one of the first men of all The Netherlands empire. From London his exiled Queen authorized her Indies viceroy to act on his own responsibility even to supervising Dutch diplomats of the world if necessary.
 Christine Marburg has become figure after four years in the Batav- ian palace. Philanthropy, rather than world politics, has become her interest. She speaks Dutch like native. She has a reputation for graciousness, poise and integrity-an traits that the Dutch like. In man. her and appearance, people say she reminds them a great deal of Mrs Calvin Coolidge.
 The Dutch also like the simple but impressive way she has furnish ished the palace. And she has a reputation as hostess.
 A School Tale
 Her philanthropies have taken many forms. She strongly supports public health among the natives (there are 60000.000 of them), es- pecially among lepers. She's strong for native education, too. Once she saved an agriculture school for low class Eurasian boys from closing.
 Even the schools lone COW was to be sold to satisfy debts. The woman from Baltimore stepped in; donated the COW to the school, and started a program partly responsible for a government subsidy

every fisherman who fished along that 13 miles throughout the 194O fishing season. We learned all we could about the habits of both fish and fishermen. And some of the things were astounding!'
 For instance 12 fishermen who lived near the creek, out of 5,90( fishermen who tried their luck on the stream during the season caught one-fifth of all the fish that were taken,
 But the study shows a visiting fisherman's luck improves remark ably with each visit he makes to a stream that is strange to him." says Feast.
 Weather Factor
 The weather has some mysteri- ous influence upon trout's appe- tite. AS the temperature of St Vrain water grew warmer last summer. fly fishing improved. The best fishing was in August.
 The 12 fishermen who lived near the St. Vrain and who caught one- fifth of all the trout that were taken fished an average of 26 times each during the summer and they caught an average of PAT fish each Most of the times they went out they brought back the limit.
