WELCOME HER
WOMEN VISITORS

The Panama-Pacific international
Exposition. says the Christian Science
Monitor. provides for visitors an ull-
precedentedly fine showing of exhibits
indicating what the women OF the
United States are doing FOR them selves
and for society at large by a thousand
and one agencies. but il does more
than this: it COnserves. as no other eX.
position has. the welfare OF women
journeying to see the exposition. and
especially if they are noviCes as tray-
e1ers and exposition attendants.
Credit is due partly &c women of the
viCInage and partly to officials of ma
tiCnal organizations Of women who
realized the need OF some such ar
rangement if a duty to the women or
the country and from: beyond its Dor.
ders was to be met. Conspicuous in
this enterprise has been and will be
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation, the national board of. which
has provided admirably for this spe-
cial work Backed by the manage
ment of the fair these federated wo-
men propose to make OF hospitality a
fine art plus a loving service, knowing
no barriers of caste. creed or race to
such aid as may be needed or rem
dered.
II it be recalled how, since 1876, the
date of the first of these eXpositions
in the United States. woman has in
creased her economic independence,
enabling her to travel and with what
added freedom she goes her unattend-
ed way about native land and other
scenes, the dimensions of the contract
which the hostesses at the exposition
have undertaken will be better under
stood. When woman, to requisite in
come and leisure, added freedom to
travel hither and yon she gained
privilege long denied her by man and
a right .ong coveted by her. The prac-
tise even now is one that has to be
followed with clear recognition by the
tourist or pilgrim that she cannot have
too many friends, both men and wo-
men, alphabetically watching her
ways. Knowing this the women of
the country have made such provis-
ions as they have for their sisters who
go to the Panama-Paciflc Exposition.

CA|NPHOR PLANT
GROWS AS WEED
IN PHILIPPINES

| An investigator for the Bureau OF
| Forestry OF the Philippine Islands has
discovered that a local plant that mas
been heretofore commonly regarded as
weed is the same as that from

, in other parts Of the Far East. The
| plant is the Bmmea baIsamfera. de

tiyes in the practise or medicine"
The plant is described aS very plen-
tiful in the Philippines. 1t has never
before been regarded as a camphor-
bearing plant, although it is known to
be identical with the Blumea balsam-
fera found in Burmah and China. The
Chinese in Hainan have long manurac-
tured the ngai camphor from this
plant, but the crude methods employed
in the manufacture of the product
have made the labor expended in OBJ
tanning the camphor dlsproportiOnate

Hainan, according to one authority, is
not much over 80 pounds per day. A
well-known British chemist, who made
an extended investigation into the
production of ngai camphor with a
view to introducing It's manufacture
into Burma in 1908, says that this kind
of camrhor is produced only in Hal
nan. Tainan Formosa), and Canton.
The crude ngai camphor, known as
ngai fern. appears in dirty-white crys-
talline grants and contains more or
less impurities. The refined ngai cam

perfectly coloress. >.

Serbia's King Arthur.

The picture, King Mako Returns
to Head His People," on the Serbian
flag day posters is based on one of the
most popular Of Serbian legends, the
Pail Mall Gazette says. Mako, who
ranks as the Serbian King Arthur, was
the son of King Vukashin, whom he
denounced for usurping the throne,
which rightly belonged to Urosh, son
of Dushan. Vukashin cursed him, and
prayed that he might have neither
tomb nor posterity, and be doomed to
serve the tsar of the Turks" but
Urosh blessed him, and prayed that
he might know no equal in wisdom Or
prowess, and be remembered as long
as the earth endured.
THUS they spake, and thus it came
to pass" says an old Serbian ballad.
Mako fought for the sultan, but the
sultan feared him, for his wrath was
terrible" and, though he knew no sep
ulture, he lived, says the legends, for
800 years. He still lives in the hearts
of patriotic Serbians, many of whom
believe that one day he will awake
and come forth to restore the glories
Of the former empire.
