does? Out of his whole big stock of

"There is none better" That's a
pretty strong endorsement, don't you
think, from a man who knows all
about the merits of the different medi-

SAYS FILIPlNOS ARE LAZY
Writer Doubts Whether He Will Ever
Work Very Hard to Make Some
thing of Himself.

The Filipino strikes me as unbear-
ably lazy, writes Maynard Owen in the
Christian Herald. He has had roads
built for him, schools run for him, good
government and peace secured to him,
and an unusual measure Of confidence
placed in him. He has graduated from
almost no clothes into spotless white,
with patent leather "kicks," clean
shirt and a respondent tie, so that
he looks like the swell member of
pair Of black-face comedians. He has
had "sitting-down" Jobs created or dis
covered for him and has taken with
remarkable alacrity to the ice-cream-
soda habit, just like any other cul-
tured being.
He has learned to speak English
very well and has been trained into a
really good athlete. But as far as I
ran see, so far he is not much
changed since the days when he daw-
died into school, followed by a serv-
ant to carry his books and ink bottle
I doubt very much whether he will
work as hard or as intelligently to
make something OF himself and the
Islands as Uncle Sam has worked for
him.

Solving Solar Heat Problem.

Though the problem of utilizing So
lar heat in place Of coal has engaged
scientific minds at various times ever
since the early part Of the seventeenth
century, it is only within the last Is
years that really promising results
have been obtained. Today, according
to Mr.. Alderman, the problem is very
nearly solved, at least where sunshine
Is plentiful and coal dear. Where, for
example, coal costs as much as SIT
tOn-cOal costs a great deal more than
that today in Italy-it already pays to
resort to the latest methods of using
the suns rays in the production of
mechanical power. The improved
plant tested in Egypt in 1913 brought
results ten times as great as any that
had been previously obtained. The
practical side of the problem is the
proper concentration Of solar heat.
This requires absorbers, ref1ectors,
mirrors, lenses and other apparatus at
once complex and extensive. All the
necessary apparatus, however, has
been greatly simplified by ingenious
engineers, and further simplificatioT
is said to be reasonably certain.-Chi-

nue. carrying an egg that has been
boiled and in the process of breaking
for breakfast has displayed unmis-

MOST SUICIDES IN THE WEST
and Fortune Seekers Who Go to
That Section of Country.

The most suicidal city in the United
States is San Diego, Cal, which had a
suicidal rate in 1915 of 63.3 per 100000
people; the least is Holyoke, Mass,
where the rate for the same year was
81, says Worlds Work. In 100 cities
the suicide rate for 1915 was 20.3 per
100000 people. Figures running back
ten years show precisely the same or
der of precedence in different parts of
the United States. The eastern states
have the lowest rate-from 1910 to
1914 it was 16.5-the southern states
come next, and then the rate increases
progressively as one goes west, reach
ing the highest rate on the Pacific
coast, and especially in California.
Certain explanations come immedi-
ately to mind. California attracts
many invalids, and dependency over
their physical condition may increase
the suicide percentage Of the state.
The Rocky mountain and Pacific states
also draw thousands Of men who are
seeking their fortunes-and a large
proportion fail in the quest. The East
and South are more settled in their
ways, less subject to sudden business
and social upheavals, and consequently
more the home of steadygoing people.
The West is more adventurous and
still attracts a considerable number
