The following itemised answer 10 the
familiar question, What business has
America in the Philippinesf' is given in
the Atlantic by W. Cameron Forbes, Vice
Governor of the islands:
We have completed the separation Of
Church and State. buying out from the
religious orders their large agricultural
properties. which are now administe
hy the Government for the benefit Of the
tenants.
We have put the finances on a sound and
sensible basis.
We have established a complete new
system OF auditing and accounting.
/ We have placed our civil administration
on a strictly self-supportlng basis. receiv-
| ing no aid whatever from the United States
Government except In so far as Il has
elected TO help us In charting the coasts for
naval purposes. This charting, which Is
being done at q rapid rate. Ii at the joint
pense Of the insular and national Gov
ernments
We have established uniform and stable
currency on q gold bsss.
| We have estab blished schools throughout
/ the archipelago. teaching upward OF half
million children and we find that the Fill
pinos are eager to learn and are rapidly
/ learning the EnRllsn language
! We have started a general and thorough
system OF road construction and main
tenance ia which the insulsr. prov incial
and municipal officials cooperate
We have established the policy Of con-
structins all public buildings as we'll rs
bridges and wharves OF durable material.
preferably REINFORCED concrete, IN order
that our work may endure.
We have given the filipinos almost COM
plete autonomy in their municipalities.
We may not as yet have given inde-
pendence to the Philippines. but We are
certainly giving independence to the Fill
pinos.
In addition to these ten aclriev ements,
Mr.. Forbes continues, there are the i'm
provements made in the sanitary con-
ditions. The lepers are now concen-
trated on one island, where they " u In the
course Of time die out, leaving the islands
perfectly free from that taint. Smallpox
has been robbed Of it's terrors. the whole
population is now vaccinated and instead
Of losing hundreds Of thousands OF lives
by this disease the loss is so small as to
be no longer a factor in the problem.
Under the precautions adopted by the
Board of Health bubonic plague has been
successfully kept out Of the islands for
years and recently several threatened
invasions Of that disease from Hongkong
have been warded otf. Cholera, while
appearing and reappearing from time to
time, Ia not allowed to gain the headway
which IL had before and is no longer a
menace to those who observe the simple
rules Of health.

WHERE WOMEN PROPOSE,
And the Mans Mother says Yes or Ma
without Consuitiug Him.

Shall women propose Is q question
which does not bother the Hopi Indian
maiden, who not only invites her chosen
one to matrimony but II necessary drags
him to the altar, or its Hopi substitute,
by main force.
When a girl has selected her victim
this ungallant way OF putting IL Ia that OF a
writer In the Trdrel Mdpdx'ne-she simply
calls upon his mother and talks business.
IL the old lady lends a willing ear the
matter Is settled forthwith and the young
man has no course left open excepting
70 bow to the inevitable. At times it is
said, violence has been resorted TO TO drag
an unwilling youth 70 the altar.
Once the matter has been settled to the
satisfaction Of the women concerned, the
girl goes 70 work TO grind meal for her
prospective mother-in-law for q period
OF thirty days. while the man in the case
ia set to work TO weave his future bride's q
wedding garments. At the expiration
OF the thirty day period the ceremony
takes place.
Whenever a Hopi maiden feels that the
time has arrived whom abe should begin
TO think seriously Of choosing husband
abe does up her hair in two gigantic
whorls, one over each ear. These are
danger signals, warning the young men
OF the community that she Ia cunning for
a husband. Sometimes it happens that
half dozen or more young men will TAX Q
TO the tall timber on learning that the
whorls have appeared upon the head OF a
young woman, Flight is their only hope,
as the mothers are 80 jealous OF the
prerogative OF their sex that they rarely
interpose on behalf Of an unwilling son,
and the fathers are not consulted.
