WILD TRIBE or POETS.
Picturesque People That Arc Found In
the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found
in the Philippines are the Bogobos,
the most picturesque people In the
tropics. Their origin is unknown,
and all sorts OF opinions have been
expressed concerning them. One tale
told Of them Is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians.
and that the dislike for the practical
which Is always noticeable among
them has come down through the gen.
erations.
Those that have taught among the
Bogobos say that given q song or
a poem to learn and they will study
and dream over 1t for hours, but give
the Bogobo a problem In arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes Ill and
wants to 60 home:
Living at Santa Cruz, In the Davao
district, is Miss Benedict, a Chicago
university woman, who Is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
1t has been found that the bead
work done by them is quite like that
Of the American Indian, but there is
no other likeness in the races be-
yond that.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION
Washington Reports More Settled
and Hopeful Tone in the Va
rious Centers.
TALK OF NEW CURRENCY LEGISLATION
President Consulting With Cabinet
Regarding Relief Measures to be
Recommended to Congress In Forth
coming Message-Shaw's Plan For
Elastic Currency the Most Popular.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Nothing new
Of disquieting nature reached the
treasury department Monday. Com
munications by telephone with several
financial centers showed more set
tied and hopeful tone in all sections
than at any time during the last two
weeks. One Of the treasury officials
said that the department was over
whelmed with letters and kilograms
from bankers In all parts of the coun.
try In regard to their taking out in
creased circulation. The department
Is daily sending out large shipments
OF national bank currency and the az
gregates would be much larger were
1t not for the delays incident to the
withdrawal of government bonds now
pledged to secure public deposits and
their deposit to secure circulation.
Tie plan suggested for the Increase Of
circulation, is according to the off.
cials working admirably. The presi
dent is consulting with members Of
his cabinet respecting currency legis
lation to be recommended to congress-
1t is conceded that 1t win be difficult
to get any beneficial legislation of this
character through congress quickly
That was one Of the reasons why the
president did not agree with the great
interests which recently appealed to
him to call an extra session Of con.
gress Immediately. 1t is feared that
rome time must elapse before the
diverse views o fmany people can be
fused into one practical and effective
measure Of relief, and 1t was felt that
little substantial gain would be af
forded by gathering congress a fort.
night before the regular session.
1t may be stated that none Of the
multitude Of currency bill projects an
pear more promising to the president
and his constitutional advisors, or
more likely to secure the approval of
congress, than the measure referred
to by the president in his last. mess
age. That is the plan commonly as
cribed to Secretary Shaw and ap-
proved by many bankers and business
len. The presidents description Of
the measure was as follows:
According to this plan. national
banks should be permitted to issue a
specified proportion of their capital j.
notes Of given Lind, the issue to 81
taxed at so high a rate as to drive the
notes bac4 when not wanted in legit-
innate trade. This plan would not per
nit the issue Of currency to Civ
banks additional prot is, but to mee+
the emergency presented by times of
stringency.
