An amateur artist recently delighted

‘Cnitfd States Lines, Lines, as as the uie - liner imer jay lay
V*f her pier at Hoboken, by drawing
.an excellent picture of the craft on the
side of another vessel across the slip.

When the noon whistle blew, an
hour before the President Adams was
due to sail for London, the stevedore
ate a hasty lunch from a tin bucket and
then picked up a big piece of chalk.
| Starting amidship of the freighter’s
vide, which he used as a blackboard, he
began to draw First he drew a typical
flapper, bobbed hair, short skirted and
hig shoed Then a demure Miss
t ^ong clinging skirts, accompanied by
a
tkd, hat pulled over ears.
Word of the “artist’s” work rapidly
spread about the President Adams and
her passengers lined the rail to watch.
Seeing his appreciative audience the
, stevedore waved a gay hand in greet¬
ing and yelled, “Watch this.”
V He then went further aft on the side
o i the Editor and started to draw what
firsf appeared to be a meaningless num¬
ber of lines. These gradually took
j shape under his deft hand. Suddenly

The improvement in wholesale lum¬
ber trade, begun late in June, contin¬
ues and the more conservative among
distributors state that business is
■VIly normal for this time of year,
says the American Lumberman, Chi¬
cago. These distributors point out
that it is only in comparison with the
abnormally heavy trade transacted
last winter and spring, when condi¬
tions were dislocated and unique, that
the present movement can be called
lethargic, but that it is in reality
good, when it is considered that July
and August usually are the slowest
months in the year. Retailers in
most cities continue to sell large
quantities of lumber and look for¬
ward to increasing business as sum¬
mer draws to a close. Though big
construction jobs probably will in
most instances be held over, they ex¬
pect enough home building, as long as
open weather prevails, to keep de¬
mand strong. Country dealers re¬
gard the fall outlook as promising,
for though grain prices have dropped
to the lowest levels of recent years,
a big harvest seems assured and
should bring enough money into far¬
mers’ pockets to cover needed build¬
ing and repair work. Meanwhile, re¬
tailers remain cautious in their com¬
mitments and, though more of them
than recently are buying for stock
purposes because they believe prices
have declined as far as they are go¬
ing to or because they fear car short¬
age later on, the majority will not yet
buy beyond current requirements un¬
less they locate absolute bargains.
Industrial demand for softwoods
ha s shown no recent fluctuation, but
mills remain busy on special cuttings,
which bring good prices. Exports are
also holding up well Hardwood con
i sumers are nearly all becoming more
I conspicuous on the market, particu
i lnrly the furniture interests, anil ex
j norts been to stimulated the United by Kingdom have

Prices of either softwoods or hard

showing an upward tendency.

THEATRICAL
AMAZING PHOTOPLAY IS
WdVEN AROUND A SHAWL
It was just a bright shawl.
But it was also the token of a
great love, the messenger of death,
Lhe cloak of a spy, and in the end
ihe harbinger of lasting happiness.
It is around this dazzling garment,
worn by a vivid Australian dancer
in Havana in the days of Spanish op¬
pression against Cuba, that the plot
;>f the highly dramatic and romantic
photoplay, “The Bright Shawl,” play¬
ing at the Bijou theatre Monday and
Tuesday is woven.
Dying from a knjfe wound, La
Clavel, the dancer, gives the shawl to
Charles Abbott, young American,
played by Richard Barthelmess, as a
final remembrance of her affection.
In turn, the bloodsstained garment
is found by La Pilar, female spy. She
wears it to the negro danzon and its
brilliance helps to lure a young Cu¬
ban patriot to his death. She kills
and throws the bright shawl over the
body.
The American, after losing con¬
sciousness in a duel, awakens aboard
-hip to find the women 'he loves and
—the bright shawl. So Joseph Her
gesheimer wrote it; so, too,, John S.
Robertson pictured it as a First Na¬
tional atraction—and one of the most
mportant productions of the year.

Atlanta, Ga., July 21.—The house
next week will be asked to take action
on a resolution by Linder, of Jeff Da¬
vis, stating that common schools of
Georgia in the years 1922-1923 have
received approximately $630,000 less
than the amount appropriated them
and requesting that this sum be in¬
cluded as a deficiency allowance in the
appropriations bill.
“Whereas, the common schools of
the state have received a sum consid¬
erably less for the years 1922-1923
than was appropriated to them by the
legislature of 1921,” reads the reso¬
lution, “ami whereas, it is of most
vital importance to the people of the
state that the common schools should
receive all the aid that the state can
give them,
“Therefore, be it resolved that the
general appropriations bill carry a
deficiency appropriation for the
amount of $630,000, or such amount
as the state is due the common
schools under the law of 1921.”
The funds of the school are said not
to have received are reported to have
been diverted through the sale of the
Western and Atlantic, the state’s rail¬
road, warrants.
Superintendent Ballard, of the state
school department, announced early
in the session he would attempt to
have the school and appropriation
laws so amended that it would be im¬
possible foi- his institutions to again
lose a portion of their appropriation.
