WILL BE SENT SOUTH
YOUNG FILRINoS STUDYING
AGRICULTURE.
Opportunities Scarce in the North for
Learning About Crops Raised In
Their Own Country.

Philippine students sent to this country
by the insular government to study agri-
culture will hereafter devote their attention
chiefly to the southern states. where sugar.
tobacco. rice and other crops we'll suited
to the Islands are grown extensively. At
present there are thirty young Ftlipinos in
the United States studying farming In
various agricultural schools throughout the
northern states
Because Of race prejudice In the south
the young F4lipfnos have not taken kindly
to the idea of attending southern institu-
lions. but as corn Is practically the only
northern crop which IL grown in their home
country many Of the young students realize
that they should go into states where trop-
ical crops flourish, and this fall a number
of the boys will take up work in Louisiana
and other places in the far south.
w. A. Sutherland Of the bureau Of in
sular affairs. who has charge Of the two
hundred Philippine students in this country,
will leave Washington in few days for
New Orleans. and will make a study Of
conditions in the south preparatory to To-
eating the Fflipfnos who desire to go there.
1t Is not known yet whether the young stu
dents will enter agricultural schools or
will take up work in a more practical man
ner by going on the plantations and
actually assisting In the production of crops
common to their island home.

who came to this country three years ago
and are to finish their courses in agricul-
tural study next year. Ildefonoso Patdu.
who has studied agriculture for two years
at Purdue University, in Indiana, will be
among the pioneer students in Louisiana.
He is at present working in a Chicago
soap factory getting q practical knowledge
Of American business methods and industry.
Eight more Philippine students sent to
the United States by the government will
arrive at San Francisco on the Siberia on
the 18th of September. Mr.. Sutherland will
are to attend. It was the purpose of the
Philippine government to send fifty more
students this year. but the examinations
were so difficult that only six succeeded In
passing them. and two others were desg-
mated to come to this country as special
students IN pharmacy. Heretofore the ex-
aminations for students desiring to take
courses at the Philippine governments ex-
pense IN the United States have been COM
paratively easy. because the Philippine
schools did not prepare students to pass
such difficult examinations as are required
for admission to American colleges and uni
versties. The result has been that the stu
dents sent here have been compelled to
take at least one year Of preparatory work
before entering upon a university course.
This has limited their actual collegiate work
to three years. The Philippine schools are
now prepared to five q thorough high school
course. and the Philippine commission has
raised the requirements for students coming
to this country. that they may be able to
devote all of their four years time to ad-
vanced work.

He LEADS THE WORLD.
Improvement In Skill by the Ameri-
can Naval Gunner.

THE progress in gunnery made by our
navy in the last few years has been simply
wonderful. and 1t Is difficult for met con-
ceive how any other nation could have i'm
proved faster. You cannot speak too high
ly Of the improvement we have made"
The above statement was made by Rear
Admiral Bradford today while discussing
the comparative records made by the Brit
ish and American navies in target practice.
Many other American naval officers are
unanimous in declaring the American gun
ner leads the world in craftsmanship. 1t
has been suggested by some of these
officers that the American navy designate
one ship. preferably a battleship. manned
with pick gun crews. and for the British
navy to designate a similar ship, and for
both to be sent to neutral waters. with a
non partisan judge and referees and hold
a shooting tournament
Officers expressed the opinion that such
q contest is entirely possible. and that the
resulting score would demonstrate there is
not navy which can compete with that of
the United States.
Admiral Bradford stated that 1t was his
understanding that the tests in the two
services are entirely different in conditions.
and that IT is almost impossible to make
comparison between the two.

RULES FOR PURE FOOD
MANUFACTURERS WILL BE IN
vrTED TO ATTEND HEARINGS.
Regulations for the Execution Of the
New Law Will Be Con-
sidered at Length.

Before formulating the rules under which
the pure food law is to be put into erect
the Department Of Agriculture 10 going to
give the food manufacturers OF the country
a chance to be heard with any suggestions
that they may want to offer. There VIII
be hearings held at the Department OF
Agriculture from the 18th to the 18th OF
September at which the manufacturers Will
be invited to appear. This is not obligatory
under the law but It is an act OF fairness
and courtesy to the manufacturers which
the three departments interested have de-
cided to extend. The Department OF 1Agri-
culture, the Treasury Department and the
Department of Commerce and Labor are all
interested In formulating the new rules.
Representatives from each OF these Depart
ments will hold the hearings.
Just how the hearings viii be DIVIDED mas
not yet been finally settled. but the SUD
jects will be divided into groups ana tne
officials will be ready to receive any sus,
ready to make. There will be various
questions to be considered, for instance
what constitutes an original package. wnat
is an export package, and conversely ,.s wa aae
to be collected for examination and now
they shall be identified. There VIII pc the
questions of flavoring. coloring ana STAN
Ing the elimination Of unfit vegetable amp
animal matter. the identifying Of products
by tags and labels. the methods to De
followed in securing such guarantee. Inc
question of confectionery will be aus
cussed. namely. what constitutes q contec-
ton, the use Of glucose, terra alba, bar
ties and other adulterants. The question
of what constitutes noxious ana narmtui
adulterants will also be settled.
Breakfast foods and proprietary FOODS or
all sorts will be considered and the best
method Of protecting trade formulas VIII
be gone into where these fomuiae are legiu-
mate material for protection.
Patent medicines will also be taken up
and all of the men interested In any OF
the above groups Of manufactures Will
be given a full hearing. There will be an
abstract of the subjects to be considered
printed with the dates that will be devoted
to each, and these will be distributed broad
East and the interested manufacturers given
a chance to appear. 1t Is expected that the
circulars viii be ready for distribution In
few days.
The offic!als of the several departments
expect to get many valuable technical sug-
gestions from the manufacturers, and the
series of hearings probably will be almost
as important as the original passage OF the
pure food bill. On the hearings will de-
pend many of the rules that will be mace
Tor the enforcement Of the law.

A NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Persian Minister Informed His Coun-
try Is to Have One.

For the first time In her history Persia 10
to have, a national assembly This infor-
nation was conveyed to the Persian min
lister here today in a cablegram from Mira
Nassrollar Khan Mochiredoiet Sadreazame.
the grand vizier and minister for foreign
affairs. who stated that In view OF the de-
sire of his imperial majesty the shah, for
the extension of national tranquility and
for the welfare OF Persia and all its In
habitants, and In order to fortify the gov
ernment 1t had been decreed necessary TO
give certain reforms and constitution
durable for the country and for the admin
istration. The immediate organization of a
national assembly for the realization of
these reforms accordingly was ordered. Ac-
cording to the dispatch the assembly will
be composed OF equal parties. namely.
princes Of the blood. clergy. chief of the
reigning dynasty. Cadjar. high dignitaries
and personages. merchants and representa-
tives of corporation.
The assembly will meet at Teheran. and
II Is provided that all civil and constitu-
tional laws shall originate in the assembly
and after the signature of his majesty will
become effective.
The cablegram concludes follows: "In
order to thank his imperial majesty for
this happy initiation. the people were
thorized to celebrate this happy event by
rejoicing, and this day was declared
tional holiday for the people"
The Persian minister tonight expressed
his pleasure at the news and said II had
come to him as a great surprise. The le-
CATION flag instantly was flown to the
breeze. 1t was pointed out by the minister
that today's action, following within one
week OF the appointment of the new grand
vizier. Is indicative OF that officials pro-
gressive ideas and that much good is ex-
pected to result from his leadership.
The grant OF the national assembly, ac-
cording to the advces to the legation, was
effective today. The present grand vizier.
through whom the grant was promulgated
Teheran and is a relative of the Persian
minister. Gen. Morteza, Khan, and has been
in the service Of the shah's state depart
ment for thirty years Leading up to the
establishment OF the new form of govern
ment was a period OF excitement and un-
rest among the Persian people attributable
in part to the refusal OF Prince Atabeck
Azame. the former prime minister. to grant
their demands. The recent change in the
cison of comforting on the people the rights
Of national assemblage in which various
walks of life are allowed representation.
In the view OF the Persian minister the
decision which was contaminated by the
conyocation Of the assembly today marks
the opening Of new era in the affairs and
conditions Of the Teheran govern ent. and
the beginning OF q history of national prog
ress and prosperity. The shah's power has
him the executive government has been
carried on by q ministry divided into va
rious departments like European portfolios.
The country Is divided into provinces ad-
mfnistered by governors general directly
responsible to the central government

Marines Want q Tug.

Secretary Bonaparte has before him for
decision one OF the many questions that
constantly arise in adjusting the relations
between the navy proper and the Marine
Corps The marines in the Philippines want
tug assigned to them specifically for the
purpose Of transporting their supplies and
for moving about the Islands. but the ques-
ton IL raised whether they can have a tug
under the statute which forbfds placing any
vessel of the United States under the COM
mand OF marine corps officers. The marine
corps hold that tug used for such pur-
poses as proposed in the Philippines Is not
vessel of the United States within the
meaning Of the statute. while the naval Of
ficers are OF different opinion.

LOCAL FAIRGROUNDS.
Contests Scheduled for This After
noon-Attendance Record.

Notwithstanding the numerous parks
which dot the national capital and make
It one Of the most beautiful sites in the
country, the public play grounds nave
proved very popular with the children. the
number of little ones who awaited them
selves of the privilege Of play grounds was
nearly twice as great last month as IN
July. 1905 The record is that in July, 1915.
the attendance was SO. 164. while in July.
1906 1t was 11O.500.
OF the eight or ten play grounds open
to the children, only three show falling
Oft in attendance from that OF last year.
The Curtis had an attendance OF 1850 last
year and 1886 this year: the North Caption
had 1864 last year and 1920 this year:
the Arthur had 3.735 last year and 2os'
this year. !. 5. >;
The grounds which have been the most
popular and show the greatest increase In
attendance are the Webb, afterward re-
placed by the Ludlow. which had an at
tendance of 1858 last year and 1,369 this
year: the Wallach which had an attend
ance Of 8.S73 last year and e.756 this year;
the Jefferson, which had 4,l52 last year
and g. Al this year: the Henry. which had
3627 last year and 5.S16 this year: the
Stevens, which had 1904 last year and A.
1873 this year; the Phillips. which had zoos
last year and 4.976 this year.
Exhibitions are being held on the school
play grounds every Wednesday afternoon
to which the public Is cordially invited.
and contests are In order at the outdoor
grounds every Saturday. The contest to-
day between Jefferson and Wallach COM
bined. against the play ground at 18th
and Gales streets northeast. will occur
at 18th and Gales streets from o'clock
to s o'clock, and the contest between North
Capitol and L streets and 9th and Virginia
avenue southeast, at 9th and Virginia ave-
nue., from o'clock to 8 o'clock.
The fact that the children have better
time on the play grounds than on the
street is said to be the prime reason why
the attendance Is large. as the children
go and come at their own free will. and
no attempt is made to force them to play.
Several other things, equally as notable
az the increase in attendance are mention
ed One Is that while the attendance last
year was mostly between the hours OF q
o'clock and O'Clock, this year 1t Is more
evenly distributed over the day. and the
children stay longer. Another thing Is that
while there was great deal of destruction
of property last year. there has been al
most none this year: a third is that while
1t was found to be difficult to organize
regular teams fast year. a number Of teams
OF tether ball. indoor base ball. basket
ball and volley ball exist in nearly every
play ground this year.
