AVIATOR HAWKER
SET MANY RECORDS

NEW YORK, May 22.-Harry G.
Hawker. the first aviator to attempt
a nonstop transatlantic flight. is an
Australian, twenty-seyen years old.
He began his career as a mechanic
and arose to the rank Of flyer under
the tutelage of Sopwith. one of the
earliest British airmen. He first came
into prominence October "a, 1912,
when flying Sopwith biplane design
ed after the pattern of the Wrights, he
established a British record of eight
hours and twenty-five minutes for a
duration flight and won the British
Michelin trophy for that year.
In 1913. flying a Sopwith equipped
with Gnome motor, he established
another British altitude record of r.
900 feet and on the same day carried
aloft two passengers to height of
10000 feet. Later he attained what
was said at that time to be the world S
altitude records. 500 feet. During
the war Hawker was engaged as an
experimental flyer, assisting In the
development of Sopwith machines.
In 1913 and 1914 Hawker made two
attempts in Sopwith to win the Lon
don Daily Mail prize of $4,000 for a
flight around Great Britain. The first
time he had to descend near Var
mouth because of illness and on the
second occasion he met with a mis-
hap near Dublin.
Commander Grieve is twenty-eight
wears old He is a wireless expert and
a meterologist as well as flyer an6
for time during the war commanded
the cruiser Campania, mother ship Of

Dried Fruits Continue Advance
Dried fruits continue to advance.

Eteady. Drug prices also are slightly
stronger. Calomel is up &c a pound

Prices of hides continue their rapid
rise, and still higher shoe prices prob
ably will be the result. During the
last two months prices of hides have
advanced more than 1913 per cent,
dealers say. Prices on all grades of
hides show an advance, the largest
on horse hides, which have advanced
81 on both the No. / and No. grades.
Writing on the hides and leather ques-
ton Dun's review this week says:
No Abatement Of Boom
No abatement of the boom in hides
and leather, which is based largely on
the prospect of a great demand from
Europe, has been witnessed, and shoes
become even more costly as the ma
terials which enter into their manu-
facture keep on soaring. The activity
in leather Is extending to lines here
tofore mainly neglected, sheepskins
low participating in the movement,
and some grades of upper leather are
sold up so closely that tanners name
further advances in an effort to put
a damper on fresh trading. With
values of this commodity rising rapid
ly and supplies of some descriptions
decidedly meager. still higher footwear
prices seem inevitable. and the chief
problem of producers Is not now one
of securing new orders, but rather of
obtaining sufficient leather with which
to meet their requirements. Shoe
selesmen returning from the road re-
port that business has run far beyond
expectations, and most manufacturers
now have about all the work they can
comfortably handle.
