The defendant approached from an easterly direc- ton and struck, the car in which the plaintiff was riding, a violent blow.

u. S. CHEAP GOODS
ORDERS DEP[ORED
Porto Rico Woman Delegate
to Pan-America Farley
Urges Quality Demand.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

A plea that American markets de-
mand higher quality goods from Porto
Rican needlework factories than they
have done in the past three years will
be made by Senorita Maria Luisa
Arcelay, only woman delegate from
Porto Rico to the fourth American
Commercial Congress in session this
week.
Senorita Arcelay, who as one OF
seven delegates from her country. rep
resents the needlework industry of
Porto Rico, now considered the second
largest industry of the island, declares
that orders for a cheaper class OF goods
from American manufacturers have
flooded her country to such an extent
that needleworkerS no longer have the
incentive to produce the fine workman
ship which has characterized Porto
Rican embroideries in the past.
"A few years ago." she said, when
our needleWorkerS produced goods
principally for tourists to the islands,
the finest sort OF embroidery was done
bv the hundreds of girls and women,
who supported themselves and. many
times, their families by their hand
work"
Cheap Orders Flood Market.
Nov, the wholesale orders of manu-
factureIS for cheaper goods has SO
flooded the Islands that the workman
ship is going down as consequence"
We prefer" continued Senorita
Arcelay, ito have less volume OF bust
ness of a cheap grade and smaller
volume of business Of higher grade
Our standards of workmanship have
always been of the highest. but
we have been forced by conditions to
produce cheaper quality OF workman
ship"
Commercial embroideries are pro-
duced in such large quantities, the Porto
Rican delegate said. that whole dis
tricts exist throughout the island where
practically the entire feminine popu-
lation consists Of needleworkers.
Workers Are Discouraged.
1.-THE cheap goods" she explained
has been diScouraging to these work
ers, who are paid so poorly for their
work that they scarcely make a living
Every one would profit by a demand
for higher class goods"
Senorita Arcelay is vice president OF
the Chamber OF Commerce Of MavagueZ
the largest center of the needlework
industry in Porto Rico. Although q
Young woman. she has been elected to
many civic honors. all OF which she
has declined through her desire to de-
vote her time TO the betterment of
conditions among the needleworkers as
we'll as to encourage the higher stand
ards of workmanship among the work
ers of Porto Rico.
