Is there any real enjoyment in pos
ing as martyr?
That question puzzles me increas-
ingly as notice the number of people
feminine people particularly-who
walk through life advertising their
sufferings with sort of grim enjoy
ment in their own tribulations.
When the Indian suffers he retires
to his tent to hide the pain, of which
he is rather ashamed l like that
stole attitude. 1t is much more
agreeable to live with than is the
whining and whimpering of hypo-
chondriac.
Too many people know of no bet
ter way Of getting the center Of the
stage which they desire than by meet
ing you with a moaning demand for
sympathy. You give it for while.
Your emotions are stirred and your
tender heart grieves over the pain a
friend is compelled to endure.
Suddenly you find yourself growing
impatient. You are little bored by
the constant recital of woes. Irritation
grows and finally you almost dislike
the whining friend and find yourself
seeking to avoid his society.

Things Worth
Knowing

To prevent starched articles stick
ing to the iron add pinch of salt and
a little lump of lard to the boiled
starch.
A cut lemon rubbed over fishy
knives will entirely remove the I'M
pleasant odor Of fish that invariably
clings to them.
To cool jellies or blancmange in a
short time, take handful of salt and
the same Of soda, put it in bowl Of
water and stand the jelly mould in it.
Scrubbing brushes should always
be hung up when not in use, so that
the bristles have chance of drying
They will last far longer if treated
in this way.
A little vaseline applied to stiff
leather boots will make them easy
and comfortable. The vaseline
should be rubbed into the leather
with piece of flannel.

CLARK AMENDMENT
ALLOWED TO STAND
Island a Weak Place in the
Governments De-
Tense Plan

Washington, April S.-Passage of the
Philippine independence bill was recon-
mendcd to the House yesterday by the
insular committee, just as passed by the
Senate, including the Clarke amendment
to withdraw sovereignty within four
years and empowering the president to
take steps to institute free and indie
pendent government.
"Thc war spreading death and ruin
over Europe and large portions of Asia"
said Chairman Jones in the committee
report, has brought the United States
face to face with the vital questions of
preparedness against foreign aggression
and Congress is called upon to make ade
quate provision for national defense.
IF the Philippines are to be included
in any scheme of national defense which
may be adopted, the cost to the Ameri-
can people will be many millions greater
than would be otherwise necessary. If
the policy shall be to retain control over
them, not to attempt their defense, but
to abandon them to their fate, as has
been suggested by military men, we shall
risk inviting the scorn of the world and
of standing Inundated in the presence of
all mankind. The issue is clean cut.
"If the United States unfortunately
should become involved in war with any
frst-class military and naval power, the
Philippines would constitute our most
vulnerable point of attack and so long
as they are held as an American colony
they will prove a source of national
weakness and constant menace" +,
