MANY SIGNS NOW POINT WAY
TO PARAGUAYAN PROSPERITY
BUENOS AIRES, May 4.—The sit
uation of Paraguay has undergone a
vast change for the better, according
to Dr. Manuel Benitez, minister of
finance of that country, in an inter
view given out while on a recent
visit to Buenos Aires. From a state
of economic anarchy, the balance of
trade is now in the country’s favor,
Its currency has been stabilized at a
reasonable rate of conversion and its
stock of gold is increasing. Para
guay, moreover, has balanced its bud
get and closed the last financial year
with a surplus.
Dr. Benitez is optimistic regarding
the future because 100 per cent more
cotton has been sown in Paraguay
this year than last; tobacco bids fair
to yield a record crop, the timber
industry is flourishing, and political
tranquility seems to be assured.
Nature is kind and takes away
the ability to blush when there is
too much to blush about.

The Winner’s History
Ward T. Van Orman, pilot of the
Goodyear III, has participated in six
national and three international bal
loon races.
He has won two national balloon
competitions, the last being in 1924,
j when he took first place in contests
' started at San Antonio, Tex., and rep
resented the United States at the
International races at Brussels, Bel
gium. He won the national race in
1919.
He has flown 1,500 hours in a to
tal of 425 flights. He is now aero
nautical engineer with the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company.
He was born at Lorain, O., in 1894
and was graduated from the Case
School of Applied Science at Cleve
land. From 1917 to 1919, he was
dirigible and free balloon instructor
at Wingfoot Air Station. He is
spherical balloon pilot and dirigible
pilot. He also is an expert metero
iogist.
iictiijr tuycnc nuricywcil
Captain Harry Eugene Honeywell,
who took second place in the Na
tional Elimination race, veteran of
St. Lodis and noted balloonist, has
made 561 flights in his 25 years in
aeronautics. Twenty-six of these
were world-wide races, including five
abroad, and resulting in six first
honors, 12 seconds, five thirds, two
fourths and one fifth. He has start
ed or landed in nearly every state
in this country and in Canada and
six countries abroad. Never has he
been forced to land in water and
never has he been injured, although
he has suffered the loss of four bal
loons.
In the international contest of
1912, Capt. Honeywell started from
Stuttgart, Germany, traveled a dis
tance of 1,200 miles, air line, and
landed near Moscow, Russia, where
he and his aide were held in jail
for five days as suspected German
spies. Ten years later, by contrast,
he was treated like royalty when he
landed in Hungary in an internation
al contest starting from Geneva, Swit
zerland.
Capt. Honeywell, who is 53 years
old, served as a musician in the
Navy during the Spanish-American
war. He transferred to Dewey’s
band on the flagship Olympia and
completed his world tour, and upon |
his return home took up balloon
manufacturing with piloting as a side
line.
Under the administration of Gov. •
Hadley, 1909-12, Honeywell was com
missioned an officer in the Missou- (
ri National Guard and commanded
the aeronautic section. He helped
organize and train 700 balloon pilots

contest of 1908 when against nine
competitors he won both distance
and endurance trophies. He travers
ed 870 miles in 23 hours and cross
ed four lakes, 350 miles of water,
which stands as the world water
record today.
