TO CIvILIzE MORO.
Medical Aid May Tame Wild
Tribes on Islands.
Hospital Ship To Be Tried by
Rockefeller Foundation.
DURABLE DISEASES RAMPANT
Local Dispensaries Reach Small
Part of People.
Plan Proved Successful With
Tribes of IgorOtes.
Durable DISEASES RAMPANT

New York, Aug. 1S.-A plan for civ
ilizing the 100000 Moros of the Zulu
Archipelago by giving them medical
relief from the many diseases ram
pant in their native isles has been an
nounced by the Rockefeller Founda-
ton.
Cooperating with the international
health board of the Rockefeller Foun-
dstion. the Philippine government will
send a hospital ship to the island
group inhabited by the Moros and kin
dred tribes. The ship is now being
equipped and will be maintained for
period of five years under the joint
supervision of the government and
foundation.
The scope of the plan and the
methods to be employed are given in
the following announcement made by
the foundation.
For more than 200 years the
Moros, who were the famous Malay
pirates that devastated the northern
Philippine islands. have resisted eli at
tempts by Spain and the United States
tn pacify them by military force. Since
their entrance into history they have
been a people apart. On the large
number of small islands comprising
the southern group of the Philippines,
about 100000 of the tribe still lead a
semi-nomadic life. They are of the
Mohammedan faith.
Medical Aid Does Work.
Investigation has shown that the
Moros suffer from skin diseases OF
severe form, malaria, hookworm dis
ease dysentery and other preven.able
infections. As the Igorotes and other
head hunting tribes of northern Luzor
were civilized largely by the men who
| brought them medical relief, 1t was
decided to reach the Moros in the
| same way.
although dispensaries have beer
successfully established among the
! Moros on the larger islands of Min
danao and Jolo, they can reach but g
small fraction of the people. The hos
pital ship will go from island tc is
land meeting the people at established
points, bringing medical relief to thu
sick, training midwives and giving
general instruction to the natives.
The board hopes that by the enc
| of five years the hospital ship viii
have proved it's usefulness and tina
tie work will be continued on the ba
sis of government and local support
| If this should be the case, this methot
of medical relief in uncivilized coun
tries will have possibilities of wide ap
plication among other island people
of the east.

SHELTER AND PAINT SAVES BUYING
3A'J' A NEW PLOW

"a nickle saved is a nickle made" Many
nickles and dollars too, can be saved in shop bills
and the cost of new farm machinery by hauling
in all plows, harrows, hay rakes and other i'm
PIGMENTS right now and storing them under shell
ter. Still more nickles can be saved if the odd
times and rainy days during the winter are used
to overhaul and repaint these machines.
J. R. Hicks of the Mississippi A and NJ. COL
lege Experiment Station says that the present
cost Of machinery makes it more than over nee
essary that every tool be made to do its maximum
amount of service. Thousands Of dollars that go
North each spring for farm machinery can be
kept at home if Southern farmers will build i'm
plement sheds instead of making use of conven-
lent trees or leaving their tools to warp, crack, and
rust out in the open fields. Paint too, is a Won
derful perserver of wood, and on the metal parts
it prevents the formation of a coat of rust which
no. only looks bad, but eats away practically as
much of the metal as is worn off by a season of
hard use. Grease or oil will preserve the mold
boards and other bright weating parts where
paint cannot be used.

OLD MAIL BAGS.

The repair and proper maintenance
Of mall bags Is In an establishment at
Washington, and the number repaired
and placed in good condition In the
last year was 100000. One of the
difficulties connected with this re-
pairing process was the accumulated
dirt and dust which attached to these
bags when returned from the service.
A system was finally adopted con-
sisting Of large tumbling barrels, each
having a capacity of several hundred
bags. Driven rapidly by electric pow
or, the dust confined to a tightly con-
structed room and carried off by blow
ers and lodged in immense canvas re.
ceptacles, resembling a dirigible bal
loon when inflated, this process was
found thoroughly suitable. -Four thou
sand q day are treated by this proc
ess. The life of a mail bag Is about
six years, but the rough usage to which
it is exposed makes many Of them I'M
1T for repair. Such bags as still have
good material make what is known as
"pieced bags" Many r thus re-
claimed and returned to service. The
advent Of the parcel post has made 1t
necessary to enlarge the repair shop,
because at times it was found impos-
sible to obtain bags from the con-
tractor il quantities sufficient to meet
the demand. A manufacturing feature
was therefore added, and in the last
two years more than 100000 bags have
been produced.
