Motorcycle Brigade, Home Guards
And Detectives Aid at Nuptials

GLEN COVE, N. Y.-The most
carefully protected wedding in Amer
lean history took place at Letting
town when Miss Frances T. Morgan,
second daughter of J. Pierpont Nor
gan, was married to Paul G. Pen
noyer, of Berkeley, Cal.
Two airplanes lowered in the sky,

slightest sign of an intruder in am
bush below. The road from st. Johns
church, where the ceremony took
place, to the gate house at the bridge
at the Morgan estate was patrolled
by motorcycle brigade of New Jer-
sey national guardsmen. 1t was by
way of this bridge that an assassin
shot at the banker in the early days
Of the war.
Numerous guards of the home de-
Tense league aided in guarding the
bridegroom, Mr. Morgan and the
guests. Plain clothes men scrutiniz-

COUPLE START ON
LIFETIME HONEYMOON
PHYSICIAN AND WIFE BEGIN
TRIP THAT WILL LAST FOR
EVER. AMONG ESKIMos.

A 40-foot schooner slipped out of
the port at Seattle, Wash, recently,
bearing DIR. and Mrs. L. H. French
on a honeymoon that will last for
ever. The wedding trip that has Just
started will continue as long as the
physician remains in the employ of
the government.
AS medical supervisor for the dis
trict of Southwest Alaska, DR.. French
travels continually from point to
point in his wide district. Never does
he spend more than day or two,
or occasionally a week, in one place.
Consequently the honeymoon will last
until he is transferred or resigns.
Mr.. and Mrs. French are accom-
panied on the trip by two assistants
and the crew of the boat. When they
arrive at Bristol Bay the doctor will
start his annual tour. Some of the
trip is made on dog sleds, some on
reindeer caravans and portion along
rivers in the schooner. 1t was be-
cause of the river-travel that the
government provided the physician
with the 40-foot schooner.
Cupid Busy During Absence.
Not long ago DR.. French was
granted a leave of absence to take
a post graduate course in New York
city. On his way to the metropolis
he met Miss Sue Brown, of Cincin-
natl, and close friendship sprung
up between them. Miss Brown was
thrilled with his descriptions of life
in Alaska. Later, with two other wo-
men, she applied for a position as
teacher in DIR. French's district.
The two women who applied with
Miss Brown for positions as teachers
were accepted by the government
and received their contracts. Miss
Brown received none, for she had
withdrawn her application-with-
drawn it because of a long-term con
tract that is now taking her into
Alaska, but not il the employ of the
government.

The possibility of marketing hogs
IN the form of cured meats is worthy
OF consideration. Local conditions
will determine the extent to which
this may be practiced. It depends
largely on the opportunity open to
the farmer to dispose of his hogs,
alive or as dressed carcasses at sat-
isfactory prices to local shippers or
butchers or otherwise.
In many communities the only
market for the farmer with a small
number of hogs is the local retail
butcher, and ordinarily he is over
supplied with dressed hogs and other
fresh meats during the winter
months. Under such conditions cur
ing meat on farms for market may
be practiced proftably, as the meat
can be held until prices are favor
able. Farmers in many localities are
employing this method successfully,
notably in Brooks county, Georgia,
where it has been an important fea-
ture of the farming operations for
twenty-five years. A ready local mar
ket is provided in the South for farm
cured meats that are handled prop
erly and correctly trimmed and cur
ed. The meat may be sold to whole
sale grocers and local retail butch
ers or to private customers. In the
latter case, shipments consisting
largely of hams, bacon and sausage
may be made by parcel post or ex-
press.
1t is not intended to discuss here
the methods of curing meat. This
work demands careful attention on
the part of the farmer, especially
when he does not have refrigerators.
A great deal of meat has been lost
during the curing process because of
weather conditions. However, if the
following important preliminaries
are observed, and the rules for curing
followed carefully the amount of
spoiled meat may be reduced to a
minimum:
1. Be certain that the animal is
healthy and in good condition.

The Italians have got started, the

all they need is a little more help.
What they can do has been shown IN

MOTION PICTURE FILMS ARE
EXEMPT FROM WAR TAX
Senate Finance Committee Cuts House
Bill Another $l5,000000 by Making
Several Examinations,

washington, May 29.-Involving fur
ther reduction of the house war tax
bill by $15,00O,O00, the senate finance
committee today decided to exempt mo-
tion picture films, jewelry and chewing
gum from taxation. A new confection'
cry tax was considered.
Instead of tax on athletic goods, per
fume and cosmetics. the committee de-
cided to keep them as sources of rev
enue, but by stamp taxes instead OF
the five percent gross sales tax. The
committee also is considering a tax
on tonnage of pleasure yachts instead
Of the house tax on their cost.
Changes decided upon today followed
the committees decision to strike out
the five per cent tax on all manufac-
turers' tax on sales. No substitutes for
the house rates on motion picture films,
jewelry and chewing gum are contem'
plated. Motion picture films would be
taxed from half to one cent per foot in
the house measure, with estimated rev.
enue of s70000OO; jewelry and chew
ing gum would be taxed per cent of
manufacturing cost in the house meas
ure, with estimated revenues respect
lively of $7,500,000 and $7,0000 600.
The proposed tax on confectionery is
a new plan of the senate committee on
which the treasury department has
been asked to submit estimates of
revenue.

F|LiP|N0S ARE LOYAL
NEWSPAPERS AND PEOPLE ARE
STANDING BY u. S. IN WAR.
Many Motives Have Volunteered for
National Guard and Navy in Re
sponse to Calls for Enlistment-Not
DiscOrdant Note in Support.

Manila, May 1.-(By Mail.-Perhaps
the most remarkable development of
the war situation in the Philippines
has been the startling unanimity with
which Filipino leaders, newspapers and
people have taken the American atti.
tude as their own.
Except for the fear of one Filipino
newspaper that the war might mean
the employment Of Filipino troops In
Europe, there was not a discordant
note in the loyalty given the American
cause. Every newspaper claimed the
cause of America as its own and many
OF them held that the Filipino people
were ready TO make any sacrifice to
help the United States not alone
through gratitude, but through an ap-
probation of the high-minded ideals for
which Americans had entered the strug-
gle.
The day after news came to Manila
of the American declaration Of war,
the Filipino Veterans association, COM
posed entirely of men who had fought
in the insurrection of 1900 against the
United States, offered its services in
any capacity to the governor general.
Not a condition was attached The
municipal board of the city of Manila,
composed of ten Filipinos, elected by
Filipino voters of the capital city, took
similar action. Secretaries of the va
rious departments of the Philippine
government form practically the Philip
t.t., nd fhaff. ac ccfcf a M -
run the executive and administrative
side of the government. They are all
Filipipos, and they. too, rose TO the OPP
portunity. AT a joint meeting they
pledged their own loyalty and that OF
the Philippine people and offered their
cooperation in any war measures the
chief executive might decide upon.
Meanwhile the appeal of Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels for navy enlistments,
published in every Manila paper, and n
statement Of Admiral Winterhalter, un-
til two weeks ago in command Of the
Asiatic squadron. that he had asked the
navy department for authority TO enlist
Filipinos as full fledged sailors instead
of in their previous status as mess at
tendants only. had brought a big list
of applicants for positions in the navy.
A week ago Governor General Harri-
son issued a call for the formation OF
the first units Of the Philippine Nation
al Guard. numbering 1000. This action
was decided upon by the Filipino con
gress when relations with Germany
were strained early in February. The
governor general was given the right
of calling this organization into being
and deemed war time proper occasion
TO summon the force. Here again the
response of individual Bilipinos has
been very notable.
All in all. Filipino sentiment today is
more united on the war question than
1t has ever been on any other topic,
even independence for the islands. The
cordial Endorsement Of the American
attitude is a radical change from the
suspicion Of things American which was
the popular thing in the islands ten
years ago.

Copenhagen, May 29.-Germany must

"A self-contained Central Africa" he
writes, stretching as far as possible

But world economics and world politics
cannot be pursued with Central Africa
alone.

East in the Pacific ocean, we have for
three decades possessed a rising colo

were to abandon our South Seas colo

merely because the great settlement Of
interests has begun among the three
great powers-Japan, North America
and England-Australia, and because we
shall have to fear that at some later
date we should come into contact with
these powers
IF the three powers were to arrive
at perfect and permanent agreement
about the Pacific ocean and China our
case wold be hopeless. But as long as
Japan and America oppose one another
in more or less open hostility, and as
long as Australia sees in Japan, whom
England has summoned to the rrotec-
