The Philippine Review is BIZ
monthly magazine published In
Berkeley, Cal, and edited. we infer
entirely by Filipino students. In q
late issue the magazine prints the
names. of more than 500 Filipino
young women as we'll as young men,
now studying In this country and
abroad About 75 per cent. Of the
number are scattered throughout the
United States; about 40 are In Eng
land and about 20 in Japan. Aust
ria, Italy, Spain, France, Germany,
Belgium and Switzerland have from
one to four each.
Some are obtaining a general edu-
cation and others are specializing.
There are students OF law, OF medi-
cine, commerce, agriculture, engi-
neering electricity and art. The is
lands are represented In agricultural
schools and In State normal SCHOOLS,
In high schools, large universities,
small State universities and in col
leges. There are Filipino students
in the Harvard medical and Yale law
schools, in Cornell, Berkeley, George
town, Boston Technology In the uni
versities of Chicago, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and a number of others. The
list of institutions in which there is
at least one Filipino is too long for
inclusion In full. At no one place Is
there any very considerable atten-
dance. The plan of scattering is ex-
cellent. Were all to go to one place
or to limited number of places the
inevitable tendency would be the
formation Of school. colonies OF Fill
pinos. As II is the student from the
Philippines must associate with Am
erican students and that should ben
eft both.
The education OF Filipino youths
in lands of more advanced civiliza-
ton Is now continuous perform
ance. That is, as some return from
their studies to take their places in
the affairs of their own land others
go out to acquire the same larger
world. The number thus equipped
and to be equipped for their work In
the world during the next ten or
twenty years is consid ersble. II
should and doubtless will form an
active force OF great usefulness in
the solution of our problem in the
Far East II would be we'll II they
were numbered by thousands In
stead OF by hundreds.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
From Father Treiber to Three Hun

Z The hearts OF three hundred chill
dren of St. Joseph's parish were made
glad yesterday afternoon when r'ath-
or Treiber showed the spirit OF Christ

beautiful and useful gifts. For years
this has been the custom Of Father
Trelber and every year the little ones
OF the congregation are remembered
with gifts. Yesterday afternoon the
auditorium OF the church was crowded
by their children and their parents

Santa Clauses were required to dis

THE TIPPING SYSTEM.

At their international convention
In New York city the walters have
spoken strongly against tipping. It
offends their self-respect and keeps
down their regular wages. However
they will consent TO be humiliated
until employers grant them more
pay,
On the other hand. the public ad-
mits that tipping has become a nuis-
ance. but continues to encourage Il.
II would not be SO bad II a small
gift were occasionally made In rec
ognition OF satisfactory service or
from personal choice. In fact,
whether the service is good OF bad,
the tip is virtually demanded, and
the more pretentious the establish
ment the more exacting the rule OF
tribu,e.
While protesting against tipping,
employees and patrons both leave
IL to the employer to decide what
shall be done. and II is to his ad-
vantage to have the patrons pay his
help. Where tipping is carried on
most freely wages are, nxed on that
theory.
The waiter or tho barber who re-
ceiyss the fee seldom pockets II. II
is divided among all the walters and
BARRIERS after the man who engages
them has substractsd his part.
II only II were possible for the per-
son giving n tip Of dime or q quar-
ter to divide It openly between the
barber or waiter who serves him and
the man above. the system would
correct Itself. But the man above
prefers to preserve his dignity by
keeping out Of sight.

The work OF these public bureaus
has been far more effective, satisfac-

the private agencies. Absolutely no

the private agencies require a regis

salary ranging from 10 per cent.
The private agencies get their licenses
from the labor commissioner. and are
limited In their registry charges to 81

vent their charging excessive percent

would be asked for some amendment

number OF them are mechanics. There
were about 1000 more applications IN

supsTrTuTR GALE RATIoNs.
The Result Of an Experiment Tried
In Nebraska.

In Nebraska.
Eight calves formed group, and
each OF the three groups was fed on
a ration similar to the rations Of the
other groups except in the butter fat
substitute.
The calves were fed for sfx
months and records kept Of gain. In
weight, amount Of food given, and
cost of ration.
The conclusions of the experiment
were as follows:
Linseed meal is not only an excel
lent food for replacing butter fat In
skim milk for the calf feeding, but
also an economical food In compari-
son with others. Corn germ oil
meal gave about as good results ss
ltnseed meal and may be recon-
mended as calf food.
Corn in this test proved too expen-
sive and required too much work
for profitable calf rearing. A two
per cent. oil mixture proved rather
laxative for obtaining the best re-
suits.
The calves fed linseed meal
and corn germ oil meal were In
good condition at the end of the test
and most Of them were weaned

(St. Louis Globe Democrnt)
As to titles of mobility, there are
perhaps a dozen families In this coun-
try who are able TO show descent,
under genealogical forms, from coron-
eted houses, II Is strange fact, or
NJ least II must strike snobs and flun-
keys as strange. that these families
have never asserted their claims, new
had their pedigrees printed, never
have spread the branches oi their fam
fly trees In the newspapers, and new
or will. This Is due 10 combination
of high qualities each one OF which
marks them as noble, with or without
the titles they might claim, First, II
shows the fne pride OF disdaining 20
mourn. in public, what the world
would call departed glory. Next,
II IL the expression Of the contempt
Of proud and independent spirits or
the gaudy baublss which only cravens
and footmen worship. And lastly,
since all OF these families run back
70 the evolutionary days, and all OF
them In that day were wings, II is
the survival OF hne and splendid
American patriotism, higher. perhaps,
because It's earliest ancestors here
were punished IN court circulars, peer
ages and other inane publications in
which the royalty and nobility OF
that day, as OF this. made themselves
ridiculous.

IN CON GREsS


After a spirited debate. In which
many members part ieipated. the house
By a practically unanimous viva yoee
vote. reduced the humber of pension
agencies throughout the country from
eighteen to one, which shall be located
In the pension office In this city.
The plan OF the appropriations COM
ml,tee was to have the number re-
aucad from eighteen to nine. This
plan was US object onable to most
members as that which finally carried.
Kansas representatives ana members
from other states expressed confidence
tonight that the sen ate will authorize
certainly nine, If not all, OF the agen-
cies now in operation.
The fight came oy er an amendment
offered by Representative Dalzell Of
Pennsylvania, who b lad announced his
intention Of fighting the programme OF
the committee, which involved the con-
solidation of the Fittsburg pension
agency with that at Philadelphia. Mr..
Dalzelts amendment provided for the
continuance of all OF the agencies. Rep
r~esentatire Gardner OF Michigan, who
had charge OF the pension bill or the
floor. could hardly wait until the
amendment mad been read, before Of
fering a substitute cutting out all of
the agencies except that at Washing
ton.
The house passed $50 private PEN
sion bills. The question Of the free
distribution of garden seed occupied
a portion OF the day.
The house of representatives weed
to abolish all the pension agen-
cies throughout the country, Is in
number, and centralize the payment of
pensions in the city of Washington.
This action was taken on the pension
appropriation bill, after spirited op-
position on the part of those having
pension agencies in their states.
The pension appropriation bill car
rying st3S, O00, 900 In round numbers
was passed.
The committee on military affairs
decided to make a favorable report on
a bill permitting the wives of enlist
ed men to be buried in the same grave
with their husbands In national ceme-
teries. This measure a strongly
urged for several years by Mrs. Tan
ner.
