PHILIPPINE BANK
AUDIT SHOWS DROP
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, March 31.-A pessimis-
tic view of the operations of the
Governments -owned Philippine Ma
tional Bank during 1925 was taken
by Insular Auditor Ben F. Wright in
recent statement.
He said that as a result of defec-
tive operation the institutions assets
in 1926 decreased oby 14,627,977.7S
pesos. A peso is equal to SO cents
American money. The decrease in
the banks assets was due largely,
Wright said, to the retirement of
circulating notes and the writing off
of bad checks.
During the year the bank reduced
it's loans by only 797. 7.239 pesos, the
total loans amounting to 79,780,147
pesos. Through failure of the sugar
planters to pay the bank last year,
outstanding loans to them amount
to 2,293,381 pesos. However, despite
this, the bank realized profit dur
ing 1926 of 2.440.570 pesos, about half
that of the year previous.

Bebe Daniels Here
In New Sheik Film

For fast moving, concise, interest
Ing and humorous entertainment
you'll have 70 pay tribute to Bebe
Daniels, who is at the Queen Theater
last night IN her latest Paramount
comedy, She's a Sheik."
Never has the athletically inclined
star been seen to better advantage
and judging from the reaction or the
first night audiences. the p~hotoplay
IS IN for a successful run.
The picture starts out with a bang
thanks to William Powell as the
heavy, and before long il is picked
up BY the star and carried through
at a merry pace. The story reyolves
around the activities Of the grand
daughter Of the sheik who, after an
education received in the United
States, returns 70 her Algerian home
with some distinct and novel ideas
upon how TO capture a male. These
she puts into practice against the
desert background, picking as the
target a young and handsome cap
tain in the foreign legion who can
lot reconcile himself as to the ap-
peal Of either Miss Daniels or her
tactics. He dislikes particularly be-
ing placed in a leopard cage for the
purpose Of being tanned and al
though the audience sympathizes
with the captain for a battered van
ity, II does provide many laughs.

stock, which was ordered By tele-
graph from the Dupont Laboratory

many times that amount was saved
through averting a possible delay In
