fering and woe. sit In comfort by
the fire. and punch the sawdust from
my Tyre; butchers. by an empty crate,
are shivering and cussing fate; and
little kids, too thinly clad. are trudging
through the snowy grad; and poor old
men feel rheumatic through all their
joints and tendons whiz. And there
are widows needing spuds. and down
alid-outers needing duds. There's so
much grief, there's SO much dearth,
whenever snow enshrouds the earth!
But there's a little one can do. to make
the wintry day less blue. I'll send
some plumber to the poor. to those who

Some persons assert that a system of
universal military training would produce
an army OF. reservists out Of all propor-

the physical n mental benefits which
such training. properly applied in Its
elementary stages. would bestow IN the
growing youth of the country. They also
ignore the fact that national preparedness
involves very much besides drill In fight
Ing. Every skilled worker properly fitted
into the national system of defense is an
important element In that system. The

persons whose work Is necessary in the

groups-high. moderate and low.
With the grading completed. he turned

FlLlPlNOS EAGER TO
ASSERT OWN AUTHORITY

| Manila, P. l., (by mail.)-The work OF
| the first Philippine congress Is largely
I concerning itself with reorganization OF
| the government along more independ-
I ent lines. Heretofore all legislative
| measures in the Philippines have begun
with the words "by authority OF the
congress Of the United States. be It
enacted by the Philippine legislature"
| One OF the first measures passed by the
new insular congress was a change to
read "the senate and house of represen1
tat1ves in congress assembled, DEGREES"
ETC., meaning of course, that the Fill
pino is now acting on Its w
authority.
A bill for the organization Of six
executive departments has passed both
houses Of congress. The departments
are those of public instruction, interior.
finance, justice. agriculture and nat
ural resources, and commerce and com
mu%nications. The department Of pub
lie instruction is to be headed by an
appointee by the president Of the
United States who will be vice governor
of the Philippines. and the insular con-
gress will have no voice in his naming,
but the other departments may be
headed by local appointees who will
probably be selected from the Filipino
congress. The bill provides that the
bureau OF civil service shall be under
the direct control of the governor gem
eral, a measure designed to keep the
bureau from the contamination Of poll
tics.
The new department heads will COM
prise the cabinet of the governor gem
eral and be responsible to him. but their
presence may be required by either
mousse of congress which, in his way,
hopes, to keep final control OF their ac-
tons in its own hands.
The congress is e~ndeavoring to avoid
"~fil1busters" Inc the senate has
adopted a rule that no member may
use more than three hours in speaking
on a Measure after two senators of the
minority have spaken, and a vote Of
the majority may close the debate.

France Calls a Professor.

France has called a former professor in
the University OF Lyons to the office of
minister of national subsistence and labor
In the new cabinet; But NJ. ,Edouard Her:
riot is not the retiring and bespectacled
type of university professor. Instead he
is rated as one of the most vigorous and
fighting men in France. He
was mayor of Lyons before his appoint
ment to the abine post and he did much
to better the conditions OF the poorer
class in that big French industrial city.
In fact 1t was the silk weavers of Lyons
who were most instrumental in his selec-
ton as mayor.
AT the beginning Of the war Herriot
undertook the organization of the indus
tries of Lyons SO that all might con-
tribute toward the production Of NUM-
tons and other military necessities. And
he did 1t without destroying the highly
important and profitable silk weaving
rad of the city. Though Lyons today
Is one of the munitions producing centers
of France, it has the nearest to q pre-
war trade Of any city in the country. 1t
was this genius as an organizer that won
for Herriot the cabinet office-an office
which virtually makes him manage Of
the productive facilities of the nation.
