eminent service in the tropics, and SINH
lar publication will doubtless be prepared
by this government.
Because of the cool weather on the Pa
cihc coast and for the first part of the
voyage into the far east a great variety

sailed from this country for the Phii'p-
pines was one young woman who failed 10
take many articles OF wearing apparel
which her family afterward found she
w ould need. A man school teacher who IS

take the young woman's clothing in his
baggage. but insisted that her parents write
TO the bureau of insular affairs and explain
the situation that a roundup with customs
officials may be avoided. The result was
letter which Is flied with many sugges-
lions for farce.

and there is, understand, a good, healthy
regular demand for mems wheels, though.
OF course. most of the men and boys now
