PHILIPPINES RICH
IN Tim bER
RESOURCES
MAJ. AHERN PAINTS ROSY PIC
TuRE IN ADDRESS TO BOARD
OF COMMERCE - AMERICAN
SUGAR INTERESTS.

Like the wonder-tales that the gold
hunters OF '49 brought back from Cali
fornia, was the story OF wonderful
riches that Maj. G. j. Ahern, director
of forestry OF the Philippines, told to
the members OF the Board OF Com
merce after a dinner in the Tuller,
Monday evening. Maj. Ahern has been
in the Philippines nine years. and has
laid out the work OF the forestry
bureau SO that the resources OF the is
lands are quite we'll mapped out
To men OF state the forests of
which have been stripped, the story OF
the giant forests or the islands, grow
Ing 80 rapidly that with reasonable
cutting there will never be diminution,
sounded strange. Intelligent lumber
men are invited to enter this field
where timber licenses cost nothing,
where labor is cheap and where there
Is a market at $50 per thousand feet
and up for lumber.
In one tract Of go square miles, Mai.
Ahern stated that there stands $44,-
the trees more than 20 inches In dia-
meter. One American who went TO
the islands few years ago with only
an ak and a knowledge of logging.
now has a private forest. 10000
hemp plants and a cocoanut plantation
OF several thousand trees. There are
$4,000 acres of forest in the islands.
LOO species of trees. but most OF the
area Is covered with few market
able varieties. There are only two
modern lumber outfits. the other 995
licenses using crude methods.
Turning to the record OF the Amer
ican occupation, Maj. Ahern said that
life and property are now safe, which
they never were before, 100000 pupils
are attending schools. plaques, such as
cholera. bubonic and smallpox, have
been almost wiped out, there are no
more bandits and the people are happy
and developing.
The fear OF destructive competition
to American sugar was touched upon
and pronounced unfounded.
Sugar Is raised only In parts OF
some of the islands such as Negros
and Cebu," said Maj Ahern. The peo-
pie raise a regular crop and they know
no other. The sugar planter would
not change to hemp nor the hemp
raiser to sugar. The quantity OF sugar
raised there is SO small that IL every
pound were shipped to the United
States 1t would not cause ripple or
affect the price perceptibly. There is
no fear that production would be In
creased to dangerous point because
the natives simply will not change
their crop"
The major explained that there is
q big market for the partially refined
Filipino sugar along the China coast,
and said that the lifting of American
tariff would merely raise the price OF
sugar In that market.
A tribute was paid by Maj. Ahern
to the part taken by Michigan men In
developing the islands. He spoke OF
the practical good done in the or
ganization of the Manila electric rail-
way, lighting and power company, by
Charles Nj. Swift. of Detroit. and the
part taken in stamping out the plague
by Dean Worcester. formerly of Ann
Arbor.
Judge C. j. Reilly acted as toast
master. and the Rev. s. 8. Marquis
was a speaker, advocating the laying
out of work for the Identification OF

OF a growing tenement evil.

Handkerchiefs Used
to Finish Waist

Most every woman has at least one
or two waists in her wardrobe which
she thinks unbecoming, or which she
thinks is not dressy or trimmed
enough. A pretty and at the same
time an extremely inexpensive trim
ming for such waists is made of two
handkerchiefs and some ribbon. Hand
kerchiefs which just about match your
waist in texture should be chosen. III
the blouse is of sheer, fine material
choose a dainty handkerchief with an
edging of dainty lace. Handkerchiefs
which have a tiny colored border
should be chosen If the waist is not of
as dressy a make.
The handkerchiefs are folded d.
agonally from about an inch above one
corner to an inch above the other. If
folded correctly one corner OF the
handkerchief will fall about an inch
inside the corner of the other. Six
little rosettes of ribbon quarter of
an inch wide are made. Two for the
back are connected by two little straps
of the ribbon an inch and a half long.
One of these rosettes is fastened to a
folded corner of each of the handker-
chiefs. The handkerchiefs are then
laid over the shoulders, with the cor
ners falling slightly over the sleeves
and the folded line nearest the neck.
Two rosettes are then fastened on a
folded corner of each handkerchief in
the same manner as the back was fast
ened. Two straps of ribbon an inch
and half long join the ruche of the
two opposite bows.
The straps on one side should be
fastened with small hooks and eyes so
that the handkerchief bertha may be
put on and taken off without having to
slip ii over the head.
The handkerchiefs which one girl
used in making this exquisitely dainty
little garment were monogram hand
kerchiefs edged with lace, and the
result was quantity charming.
