THE PHIIIPPsNE ISLANDS
Natural Resources which Americans
Have Failed 10 Exploit.

With one exception Il may be said
that Philippine development schemes
have met with cold reception from
the financial interests Of America.
The repeated failures In promoting
or financing any project for the Is
lands must receive the serious consid-
GRAFTON Of the Philippine commercial
community.
The islands present opportunities
for rapid and profitable development
uneqnalled In the world. Rich min
eral deposits abound. the forests OF
valuable hardwood are inexhaustible.
the sugar lands Yield high average.
the hemp monopoly Is source Of
never ending profit. rubber and gutta
perch thrive and give handsome re-
turns.
Yet with q few exceptions these
immense natural resources after
twelve years Of American rule are
still worked IN the old primitive.

H0MEA SUPERIOR TO Men
LIVE LONGER AND ENDURE
GREATER SUFFERING

Women are called the weaker sex;
but the fact is that when tested by
the length of their life. and by their
power to endure suffering and to re-
sist disease, they are, according to q
writer in the Medical Record, ply
sically superior to men.
An English statistician has calcu-
lated that two children, boy and a
girl, born on the same day. the boy
will have II chances against III Of
living one year. while the girl will
have 21 chances against II. From
S to Is there appears to be but little
difference, but from Is to 10 the
boy will have 26s chances and the
girl 277 chances Of living against one
OF death.
This advantage in favor Of the
female increases, especially from IS
to 70. when the ratio drops slightly
until after 80, when the man will
have only three chances of life
against one of death, while the wo-
mans chances will be much greater.
The report of the United States
census bureau on the vital statistics
Of this country for the year 1880
shows that for every five year period
from birth up to seventy years Of age
the death rate is much greater
among males than among females.
From 20 to so the death rates Is
about equal between the sexes. but
from 80 to 80 there are about FIVE
women living to four men; from 80
to loo there are two women to one
man, and after 100 the proportion
Of women is still much greater.
THE fact that women live a more
protected life. avoids the stresses
and strains that favor senility, may
be a factor. but 1t can hardly be the
only factor In her superior tenacity
OF life." the writer says. "She lives
a more protected life than man be-
cause she is differently constituted.
IF thousand able bodied men
and a thousand able bodied women
be uniformed, armed and equipped
for battle and ordered on a long and
weary march to the front more men
would probably reach their destina-
ton, while more women would be
found exhausted, but more men
would be found dead on the roadside.
Owing to their peculiar psycho-phy-
steal organization women heed the
warnings Of fatigue and avoid the
fatal crash. while man. with his iron
will after complete exhaustion. re-
solves to take another step IL he
dies in the attempt.
so. after making all due allow
ances for the greater mortality OF
man in war and from accidents from
dangerous occupations and from
masculine excuses, there are good
reasons for believeing that nothing
short of constitutional difference
can account for the greater tenacity
Of life In women. Woman Ii . psy-
