FILIPINOS GET
MANILA, Nov. 8. — The European
war and the consequent closing of the
European sources of production of em- i
broideries and laces has given a tre- I
tuendous impetus to this industry in
the Philippines. Before the war it
had already reached large proportions
in Manila and the provinces, the pub
lic schools were giving it their at
tention in an effort to train girls in
the art of producing fabrics which
would meet commercial needs, and
American commercial interests hadf
established agencies here.
The war his increased this business
to such an extent that it is seeming
ly impossible to meet the demand. At
present more than women in
Manila alone are omploy«*d in shops
and homes on fine embroidery and
laces, and the monthly payroll is in
excess of $100f00u a month.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. British mer
chant ships entering and leaving the
port of New York are being manned
entirely by Englishmen who have al
ready served in war and have been
honorably discharged, according to
the ship visiting report of the Ameri
can Seamen’s Fried Society. This re
port, which was made public today by
Dr. Oeorge Sidney Webster, secretary,
shows that in tour months the ship
visiting staff of tin- society was in
personal touch with practically 12,000
sailors attached to 81 different ships
representing 12 steamship lines.
Although a very large number of
the sailors in port are English sub
jects, there are also a great many from
other lands. These men, according to
the report, are largely either desert
ers from military service or are avoid
ing service by coming to this country.
Many of these men are Clreeks, who
contract for return voyage to British
ports and desert their ship on this
side without pay. This, according to
Dr. Webster, is one reason for the
noticeable shortage in the supply of
seamen, which many ships have suf
fered from when preparing for the
return trip.

Advertising
Surely
Pays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the
United States is enor
mous.
Enoimous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn't need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself.
Keep TTour
Name ‘Before
The Public.
By BREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that |
ever) body in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don’t make this
grievous mistake.
I he public is fickle.
The public is forgetful.
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transler its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished’’ it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established” as
most enterprises.
r=————i
Don *t Be a
Calamity
Howler.
By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t cry that the
country is going to the
bowwows. Things wijl
come out all right.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $ 100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
I he results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, “Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing.” If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
