UNCLE SAN,S BABY COLONY-By Frank C.. Carpenter

, baseball, and there are now ball clubs everywhere. Every school has it's club and there are naval clubs and civil clubs. 1 The little Guamites are excellent ball players and the native teams have beaten
 those of the officers again and again, There are now tennis courts at Agana and the, desire for gymnasticS is growing. Our Cousins of Guam But let us look at the Guamites of to-
 day. There is a good slice of the old
 Chamorro in them. They have also been mixed with the islands about and with the Spaniards. The governors reports say that the Spanish officers who have ruled the country in the past have inter-
 married with the native women and that today the names of the upper crust n- clude the family names of nearly every governor for the last 100 years Guam
 has it's four hundred. and it Is harder for one born outside that class to gain admit tance to the houses of the Torreses, Mar tnezes, Calvos or Diazes than for a gut ter snipe to enter the most select circles of America.
 This upper crust has it's own receptions and balls It's laws of etiquette are strict and the women are almost secluded. Un- til recently the wen to do natives sent ther children to Manila or Madrid to be 'butheths h' biIiS are Sdlu tp pc ROpu dancers, and most of them are able to play little on the piano.
 It is this better class that owns most of the plantations of the island. The men do not work. but rent out their ranches or employ laborers. It is from them that the subordinate officials Of Guam are taken. The young ladies form part of the official society. They attend balls given at the governors palace. and are said to he pretty and vicacious. Their dress consists of a full skirt of fine mus lin or silk and zouave jacket of deli cately white embroidered material with flowing sleeves. The people of the better class do not use the betel nut nor do the
 women smoke. Since the American occu- patton many have adopted our style Of dress.
 The Common People 1 The common people are very much llke 1 the masses of the rilipinos. They go bare | foot and wear their shirts outside their
 trousers. While at work the shirt Is often taken off and the trousers rolled to the l hips. on Sunday pair of half slippers
 may be added as part of the dress. | The richer people of Agana have very comfortable homes, but the poor through
 out the island live in huts of bamboo and I thatch. These are built five or six feet from the ground and usually have but | one room, ventilated by three or four i openings for windows. There is no glass. l but each window has . sliding wooden shutter
 Such houses have but little furniture.

i learn to write his or her signature within certain number of months and that Uncle Sam would furnish the copy As result Of that nearly every one can now sign his name.
 Governor shroeder brought out some American school teachers, but tho reve- nues grew short and they had to go back. Since then other schools have been or- ganized and they are now to be found in Agana and in all the villages. These schools run from the first to the eighth grade. Education is compulsory and the children are all learning the rudiments of an education. There Is high school in Agana, but il has only about 20 pupils, and there Is also the College of San Juan de Latram.
 Some school work is being done by the Protestant missionaries. of whom there are some Congregationalsts and others. better missionary work could be done by the American Catholics but, like the Filipinos they have been cursed by tie friars and they need the live, progressive methods of modern American Catholicism for their development
 Among the Chamorros
 But who are these people of Guam? Are they Chinese, Japanese, Malayans, or crosses between the Malayan ard the sav- age head hunters? They are far different from the Filipinos, although they have the same semi-Spanish civilization and dress and look much the same. Our gov ernors have sent to the navy department some interesting Information concerning them They come from race known as the Chamorros. which was hi Guam wrr1 Magellan landed there in 1921. Magellan says that the natives were warlke and that they defended themselves with stones and lanees. Legaspi, who called at Guam in 1565, says that tt.s people lived in the water half the time and that the only meat they ate was fish. bats and flying foxes A Jesuit father who wrote of the island in the l7th century says that Guam then had 5000 people, or five times towns and villages. having clean houses Of bamboo. roofed with cocoanut leaves, and divided into rooms by mats, which were woven in one piece. He says thai the men were SD corpulent that they seemed swollen and that they shaved their heads with the exception of n topknit. which was allowed to grow to the height of three inches. The women had long halr which they bleachcd dead white, and they stained their teeth black.
 Baseball in the Pacific
 These ancient people were healthy and vigorous, and the missionaries say they baptised 12o men who were each 12O ye,as old. They were great athletes and were expert sprinters, runners and climbers The people of Guam today are resuming their interest in athletics. Our marnes have introduced them to the delights of

JAMES Al. GARFIELD.


 As a barefoot boy Garfield had driven a mule along the tow path, and at the Falls of the Cuyahoga had carved his name upon that powder, which was to be uncovered only on the day of his death.
 Ryan might have remained in Ohio for the rest of his life and had but a local reputation. He saw, or thought he saw more opportunity in New York; and he came here. Tens of thousands of persons ought to know him by the inconvenience he has caused them, but they do not As a ripper he is a wonder. He has torn np more miles of New York streets than probably any other half dozen men. In Manhattan alone he has laid 175 miles of pipes, and every. one of those miles of pipe means a mile of street. There Is hardly an avenue that he has not per formed master operation on. Broadway he has torn up from end to end. Inoi-

Guam has had no con tagious diseases since 1t came into our possession and about the only epidemic disease is dengue fever, sort of grippe, which at certain seasons seems to run through the island as it does through the United States.~
 The same sort of cleaning up has been done in the villages and roads have been built from place to place. These roads are as hard as stone and as smooth as the floor. They might be used for automo- piles, but there are none on the island. The material used for surfacing them is yellow clay called cascajo, which hard ems to a cement and makes a good perma- nent highway.
 Education in Guam
 When we took hold of Guam there were practically no common schools. There was a little college at Agana, although it was centuries old. but this was hardly equal to the ordinary country high school of the United States. There were also pri- vate schools run by the priests, but as q rule the people were illiterate and many could not write their own names. When Governor Leary took hold he sent ont an order that every man and woman mus

1 The common bed Is q mat of woven grass and the whole family sleeps on the floor of the one room. The doors and windows are tightly closed. for the people think that the night air brings fever. The2 sleep in the same clothes that they wear during the day time. Every such house has a thatched leauto at one end in which the cooking is done. The ordinary stove is e stone inclosure, filled with earth. upon which fire Is built. number of smaller stones keep the pots off the coals.
 The Future of Guam
 And this brings me to Il serious condi- ton which will likely confront Guam in the near future. The public works which Uncle sam has been carrying on during the past nine years have brought great deal of money into the island. During that time the imports have exceeded the, exports by more than s50000G and tha greater part of this money has come from the wages paid to the natives for the labor on the public works.
 As result the people have had more cash than ever before, and the prices of living have risen 1900 or POGO per cent. Tha wants of the people have also increased. Formerly they lived for the most part on the sago, yams and bananas which they raised themselves. They have now be- come accustomed to the timed meats and vegetables brought in from Japan and America.
 All this has been paid for with laho., But now the most of the public work hae been done The island is well equipped with roads. Its harbors have been iin- proved and the public buildings have been erected. The big jobs must soon stop, and
 the people must then go back ot the land. where they cannot make ~anything iiks
 what they have done while Iaboring for Uncle sam. How this may be brought | about without trouble remains 10 be seen
 Some Money Making Possibilities The government will have to encourage agriculture and arrange for the exports. one Of the possibilities will be in cocoa
 nut raising. This has not been pushed OH account of the labor market. but I am told the island could be turned into a ! great eocoanut plantation. Tho exper;s
 say it might annually yield 100000 tons of copra, which could be sold at a profit Of Sl0 ton. That alone would bring in s2,- o00o00 per annum.
 The higher lands of the island are suft- able for coffee and the lower portions VII grow sugar. There are also 100 square miles of forest the timber of, which at present prices Is worth about s20oo,0oDo Another possible crop is vanilla, anotne- cocao and third rubber, for 1t is said that the India rubber tree can be grown there. The rice fields may be also in- creased. They are rudey farined, and with Japanese methods of culture might produce 10 times as much as they now dQ

He thrust the roll of bills into his
pocket and moved to the door.
Alone again. the planter collapsed
into his chair, breathing heavily. but
his terrors swept over him and left
him with a savage sense of triumph.
This passed; he sprang up. intending
to recall Hicks and unmake his bar
gain. What had he been thinking OF
safety lay only in flight! Before he
reached the door his greed was in the
ascendant. He dropped down on the
edge Of his bed, his eyes fixed on the
window. The sun sank lower. From
where he sat he saw It through the
upper half of the sash. blood-red and
livid in a mist OF fieecy clouds.
1t was in the tops of the old oaks
now, which sent their shadows into
his room. Again maddened by his
terrors, he started and backed toward
the door; but again his greed. the
one dominating influence OF his life,
vanquished him.
He watched the sun sink. He
watched the red splendor fade over
the river: he saw the first stars ap-
pear. He told himself that Hicks
would soon be gone-if the IRE was
not to be lighted he must act at
once! He stole to the window. It
was dusk now. yet he could distin-
guish the distant wooded boundaries
Of the great fields framed by the dark
ening sky. Then in the silence he
heard the thud of hoofs.

not question but that he was deeply
affected After all the man might
have a side to his nature with which
they had never come in contact.
When he could he shut himself in
his room. He had experienced day
of maddening anxiety; he had not
slept at all the previous night; in
mind and body he was worn out; and
now he was plunged into the thick OF
this sensation. He must keep control
of himself. for every word he said
would be remembered. In the pres
ent there was sympathy for him. but
sooner or later people would return
to their sordid Unconditional 1udg-
ments.
He sought to forecast the happen
ings OF the next few hours. Murrelrs
friends would break jail for him, that
was foregone conclusion: but the
instruction he had planned was at
an end. Hues had dealt its death
blow. Moreover, though the law

this idea OF craven flight. Thank
God, he had seen the last OF him!
But, as always. his thoughts came
back to Betty. SIosson would wait at
