That Unemployment is Becoming Less Pressing - Textiles Firm ----- Of special interest to the business circles of the Philippines is the cable advice received yesterday by one of the leading business houses of Manila from its New York agents to the effect that coconut oil on the market is going strong and is expected to go much higher. The cable also contains other indications that there is a general increase in business activities and a rapid readjustment of labor problems and money matters to their anti-bellum status. Anarchistic progress in Eastern Eruope, the cable states, weakens Allied securities and has unsettled exchange rates; but nothwithstanding that fact exchange trade is increasing. The inreased demand for binder twine is pointed out as an excellent barometer of the general improvement of business conditions. The textile market is also deported as firm, and the demand for lumber and other building material as increasing. Private letters received from the States on the last mail indicated that large numbers of discharged soldiers and others were roaming the street of the large cities unable to find employment. However, the cable just received indicates that a rapid readjustment is going on, and that a shortage of labor is reported in the Northwest and South, and that fewer instances of unemployment are noted except in a few of the Eastern cities. The exact language of the cable is as follows: "Building and lumber demand [[?]]. Reports of unemployment less pressing except in eastern centers. Scarcity of help noted in northwest and south. Anarchistis progress in Eastern Europe weaknes Allied securities and further unsettles exchange rates. Exchange trade increasing despite sever obstacles. Forty per cent demand for binder twine, this being an excellent barometer of general business conditions. Coconut oil strong, expected to go higher. Textiles firm." ----- Thompson Wins Chicago Election ----- (Navy Radio to the Cablenews.) CHICAGO< April 4. -- The complete returns from Tuesday's elections in Chicago show that [[?]] Hale Thompson, the incumbent, Republicanm, was elected again for a four year [[cutoff by picture]] ----- [[image]] MISS RUTH, LAW Immediately before making her first flight yesterday afternoon, by special request Miss Law posed for a battery of cameramen. First she stood in front of her machine and then sat in it as if in readiness to fly, as she is seen in this photograph. Many other pictures were snapped after she alighted. ------ COMMENTS ON FLIGHTS -------- M. P. DE VEYRA-That was fine. Miss Law has demonstrated the fact that aviation is possible and she has inaugurated an air mail serivce, which must prove practical. MISS LAW-I promise you a lot more in the way of law flying and psectacular feats tomorrow if the wind is not so bad. It was not the strength of the winds today but its irregularity that made it bad up there. AN AMERICAN WHO CAME TO THE ISLANDS WITH THE FIRST AMERICAN [[cutoff]] --------- Thousands Cheer As Woman Flier Performs Spectaclar Feats In Air ------- Some thirty or forty thousand people gathered on the Luneta yesterday afternoon saw Miss Ruth Law rse from the earth, sail around with the grace of a long winged bird, ascend to an alittude of a few thousand feet, loop-the-loop fourteen times in succession, glide, dash and dive here and there, flit about with perfect ease and then return to [[cutoff]] ground with the grace with which she had left it. Miss Law seemed to be about [[cutoff]] only dissappointed person. She [[cutoff] not pleased because the [[cutoff] was blowing very irregular-[[cutoff] quite strong at times and did not give her opportunity [[cutoff] perform as she could have [[cutoff] a stiller atmosphere. She de-[[cutoff] when she alighted that it [[cutoff] her opinion that the heat was [[cutoff] least partially responsible for [[cutoff] flurries of wind, which made [[cutoff] necessary for her to be most [[cutoff] and skillful. To those on [[cutoff] ground she lookd as if she [[cutoff] having no troubl whatsoever, [[cutoff] she was handling her air-[[cutoff] with as much east as an [[cutoff] chauffeur operates a car. THe first flight yesterday after-[[cutoff] begin at 5 clock. Soon [[cutoff] she was off the ground the [[cutoff] began climbing, circling [[cutoff] climbing higher. When she [[cutoff] about 4,000 ot 5,000 feet from [[cutoff] she did a few spectacular [[cutoff] and dips and then began [[cutoff] -the-loop. Fourteen times [[cutoff] turned back [[?]] without [[cutoff]. Still she was far from [[cutoff] and to show the cheering [[cutoff] below that she was not [[cutoff] or frightened she flipped her [[cutoff] on its side and started [[cutoff] dash which looked [[cutoff] dangerous, and then she [[cutoff] the airplane and played (Continuted on page 2) ------- EMBROIDERIES For Discriminating People EXCLUSIVE CREATIONS in Embroidered Lingerie, Childrens' [[?]] and Blouses, [[?]] ELAIN ELSER600 M. [[?]] Pilar ------ [[image]] Lt. MARTIN P. DE VEYRA At last Manila is to be given an opportunity to see Miss Ruth Law, famous American aviatrix, in her airplane. At another meeting of the Philippine Aero Club, arrangements were made for four exhibition flights to be given on Burnham Green on April 4 and 5, two flights being given each day. The flights will take place between 5 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon, in order to enable the people to be present after the sun has ceased to burn with its usual intensity. Among the stunts that will be performed by Miss Law will be her famous loop-the-loop, flying upside down, rapid climbing, tailspinning, gliding, banking, diving, and all the maneuvers taught in the big military aviation schools in America and France. Miss Law is thoroughly competent to demonstrate, having been in the business for over six years. The tail-spinning demosntration is one of the most death-defying stunts in the aviator's repertoire, as the machine is shot almost straight upward and then the motor is stopped, leaving the airplane revolving in the air. Another spectacular exhibition is the diving, which is in reality, three exhibitons in one, for the machine is speeded up to its highest velocity, brought round on a sharp turn, the nose of the airplane pointed almost perpendicularly downward until the machine nears the ground, when the machine is righted and the gliding follows down to the ground, when the machine is righted and the gliding follows down to the ground, unless the aviator wishes to ascend again. The banking is considered one of the most perilous parts of an aviators regular training, for should anything go wrong the machine would be dashed to the ground, unlike when the machine is salling along on an even keel, when gliding might be resorted to if engine trouble should appear. ----- [[image of ruth law carrying the aero club]] [[text covered by image]] ---- [[image]] Miss RUTH LAW [[cutoff]] of the aviatrix on the Philippines, he approached the charming flier and asked what she thought of the City. "Well," she said, "from what little I have been able to see since my arrival, I am deighted. I was agreeably surprised to find such an up-to-date city, with all the modern improvements. I had half expected, from what I had heard of the tropics, that modern conveniences were impossible [[?]] of the Tropic of Cancer, but Manila has taught me that with such live people, there are many things that are to be experienced in Manila that are almost unheard of otherwheres." "Such as, for instace...................." half queried the reporter. "Well, the earthquake, for one." And then she launched off into a narrative of her sensations, but let her tell them. "I was seated in the cool, spacious dining room here Friday morning, watching the sun's rays glittering on the waters of the bay, and I must have been day-dreaming, but I thought I was studying the menu, wondering what on earth to eat, when the sensation I always feel when flying came stealing over me. I was seemingly leaving the ground gradually, climbing slowly and smoothly to the cloudbanks. The sensation was so natural that I didn't realize that I was still sitting in my chair until I fell as though I had struck a few 'air pockets' and instinctively clasped my hands when lo, I had grasped the table for support. I gazed around the room, the chandeliers were swinging violently, the tables rocking as if a mystic medium was present, the chairs were tottering as though they had not worn off the night's revelry, every one looked so pale that I unwittingly thought of ghosts, and then I felt the lilting sensation subside. "I realized immediately that I had added another experience to my little life, that of an earthquake. A great many people have asked me what it feels liek to be flying and it has always been impossible for me to define the sensation properly; but it is no longer so. Hereafter when one asks me to define the sensation, I'll say: 'Oh, just like an earthquake.'" When asked if Manila was going to have the pleasure of seeing her fly, Miss Law said that she hoped to fly in Manila, and had really flown; adding that she had hardly expected to fly without her aeroplane, but the earthquake had given her the same sensation, and "Any way", she laughed, "everybody around me seemed to be up in the air, too, for a long time after the quake was really over." ------ A Product of the Philippines for the People of the Philippines ISUAN Bottled at the Springs, Los Banos Is the Most Delicious Natural Mineral Water in the world If you want an Ideal soft Drink Ask for Bittermead[[?]] Says No Member [[?Happy?]] In League Of Racial [[?Discriminations?]] Prominent [[?]] from Committee on [[?]] Information.
