Philippine Folklore.

A Philippine folklore tale is some
what akin to the Adam and Eve story.
Lumawig, out of love for his people,
sent an old couple to earth with new
food for the Igorot tribes. The old
couple on certain day were to ex-
plain its use to the mortals, but the
latter became curious and could not
wait until the appointed time. Two of
the Igorots stole the bag in which the
new food was hidden. This so an
gered Lumawig that he said the Ig-
Orots thereafter would have to till
the ground and gain their food by
the sweat Of their brows. The new
food was rice. 1t today is the great
staple Of the people. Rice and sweet
potatoes are the only things they
raise.

London.-Here is a summary of
events in the Picardy battle up to the
present:
The British held firm north of the
Somme and gained ground at certain
points. They were driven back south
of the Somme, in the direction of Ami
ems. The Germans are now less than
II miles due east of Amiens and lit
tie more than IL miles southeast of
that strategic center. The British
were beaten back at Arras, the Ger
mans capturing Orange and Telegraph
Hills. The main British line there
held, however.
The French line holds everywhere
French counter-attacks continued, and
the poilus recaptured another village
southwest of Montdidier.
The southwesterly thrust of the Ger
man wedge into the allied lines has
been stopped short at Montdidier.
The enemy seems definitely held
here, 81 miles from Paris, by the in
closure of the town within a pocket
formed by series of villages valiant
ly captured and held by French troops.

Herbert G. Hoover, Food Administrator
announced that President Wilson has

composed of David F. Houston, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, as representing

Mr.. Hoover, in letter to President
Wilson pointing out the seriousness
of the beef situation and suggesting
the commission, says the problem is
one of the most complex facing the
Government He shows that increased
quantities of beef must be obtained for
export either by increased production
or by decreased consumption. He
recognizes that consumption could be
reduced by higher prices, but depre-
Gates any efforts to fix the prices for
this purpose because it would mean
the elimination of that part of the
community that could least afford to

JAPAN TO TURN
over II SHIPS
STEEL TO BE TRADED FOR SHIPS
WAR TRADE BOARD MAKES
AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN,
BY Which Many Up-To-Date Steamers
With Total of Approximate 100000
Tons Dead Weight Capacity, Will
Be Secured at an Early Date.

| Washington.-Form announcement
by the War Trade Board Of the new
shipping arrangement between the
United States and Japan shows that
Japan is to turn over to the American
fleet Immediately II steamers of
100000 tons dead weight capacity in
return for steel supplies. Negotiations
are proceeding for the transfer of
new construction on the same basis.
The War Trade Board issued the fol-
lowing:
Arrangements have now been made
as result of the negotiations between
the United States and Japanese ship
builders for the purchase of IL Japa-
nese ships of approximately 100000
tons dead weight capacity, which will
be added to the fleet of the United
States Shipping Board within the next
few months. All Of the vessels are
large, modern steamers of 5000 tons
or over, with one exception, and none
over two years old, Some indeed are
still awaiting completion. Deliveries
Of the ships at American ports are to
begin not later than May and to be fin
ished in September, a progressively
higher price per ton to be paid accord
ing to the month of delivery as a pre-
MUM on early deliveries. In return
for the sale of the ships the War
Trade Board has agreed to deliver to
the Japanese shipbuilders a CORE
spending amount of steel for shipbuild-
ing ton for ton against delivery of
the ships. Further negotiations are
in progress to secure from Japanese
shipbuilders 100000 additional tons of
new construction, the ships to be built
in return for new steel placed at the
disposal of the builders by the War
Trade Board.
Recent editorials in such papers as
the Jill Shimpo, of Tokyo, show an en-
couraging disposition to regard the
furnishing of tonnage for allied war
needs in the light of patriotic contri-
button to allied war purposes, and,
with this spirit prevailing, a quick and
reasonably satisfactory result from the
negotiations is hoped for"

SENATE EXTENDS
The DRAFT AGE
TO INCLUDE MEN REACHING II
SINCE JUNE s, 1917, THE FIRST
REGISTRATION DAY.
News Proposal, Training Youths,
Beaten BY Vote Of 36 to 26 After
Several Days Debate.

Washington.-The resolution extend.
Ing the selective draft to men reaching
the age Of 81 years since June 8, 1917
the first registration day-was pass.
ed by the Senate without a record vote
after a little attempt had been made
to add to it provision for training
youths from 10 to 81 years old. 1t is
estimated that 100000 men will be
added to the registration this year by
the resolution, which is one of the
pieces of legislature on which the War
Department is waiting before announc-
ing complete plans for the next draft.
1t goes now to the House for consid-
Grafton there with the bill to base
draft quotas on the number of regis.
trants in Class One instead of on pop-
ulation, another of the administration
measures passed already by the Sen
ate.
The proposal to require training OF
boys beyond 19 and under registration
age was in the form of an amendment
Senator New, of Indiana, which the
Senate rejected, SO to 26, after a de-
bate of several days. Several Senators
who favor universal military training
as a peace-time policy voted against
the amendment. AS adopted, the reso-
luton provides that all citizens of the
United States residing in this coun-
try, attaining their majority since
June 5, last, shall be subject to regis
tration under regulations prescribed
by the President; shall present them
selves for registration on a day pro-
claimed by the President and there
after shall be liable to military serv-
ice. There was no opposition to the
resolution itself, the only controversy
being over the New amendment. Op-
ponents Of the plan argued that train
ing youths would hamper urgent army
enterprises and take the labor from
farms and factories, without providing
soldiers for immediate needs at the
front. Strong sentiment for universal
military training was ap-
parent, however. and the vote was not
regarded as foreshadowing future ac-
ton on Senator Chamberlain univer- |
sal training bill.

Public Warned to Be Careful.

New York.-Warning to the public
Ito be most careful in the future when
eating bread, rolls, cakes and pastry"
because Jagged bits of glass have
been found in -four, bread and wrap
pers," was issued by the Federal Food
Board here The warning added that
complaints Of this character have been
sufficiently frequent to warrant the
board in publishing this warning, much
as it dislikes to be put in the position
Of seeThing to unduly alarm our pub
lie. Housewives should examine bread
after it has been cut and made ready
for the table," says the warning.
Where bread is baked in the home,
the flour should be thoroughly sifted
for foreign substances. Owners of ba-
keries and those handling flours and
substitutes used in baking are asked
to have rigid inspection made before
these commodities leave shipping
rooms in bulk or manufactured form.
Where suspicion is excited there
should be thorough investigation"

GEN. FOCH is IN COMMAND

All Allied Forces on the
West Front

hington.-Generai Foch, French
Chief OF Staff, has been appointed to
supreme command Of all the allied and
American forces in France, according
to official information reaching Wash.
ington. This means uni1cation of all
the armies opposing the Germans, a
step which the Americans and French
military men long have urged. and
which apparently has been brought
about by recognition of the imperative
demand for concentrated effort to hurl
back the gigantic thrust Of the enemy
in France. 1t was learned the Presi-
dent had been advised officially of the
action when he sent a cablegram to
General Foch, c0ngratulating him on
his new authority" There was no ex-

the President meant, and it is under

here until after the announcement
comes from France.

CIVIL WAR EVER GOING ON
Two Glasses Of Germs In the Human
Body That Are Constantly En-
gagged In Strife.

Our bodies always contain the two
classes of microbes or germs-the be-
nevOlent and the malevolent-and the
processes Of life, from the cradle to
the grave, consist of a constant con-
fiict between these two classes, DIR. w.
ID. Vail writes In the Christian Herald.
When the benevolent germs are in the
ascendency we are well and everything
prospers; but when the malevOlent mi
crobes have the upper hand we are
miserable and everything puts on
Jaundiced hues. This cOncretely de-
scribes our condition from day to day.
Again, we must not forget that as long
as we maintain our health up to, or
near, what we call par, we are immune
to the ravageS or inrOads of the germs
which cause disease and deaths,
whether through the processes of fe-
Vers or inflammatiOns, or both. We
know that not over half of the people
who swallow the germs of typhoid fe-
yer suffer from the fever, and the in
ference Is that those who fail to con-
tract the disease, in spite of having
swallowed the microbes, were immune
from the fact that they were enjoying
state of health that enabled them to
throw Off the poison instead of allow
ing 1t to remain in the system and,
through the process of fermentation,
to develop the fever To the end that
we may maintain this condition of
Immunity, it is Of the utmost impOr-
tance that we should eat only such
food as shall be readily assimIlated
and masticate thoroughly what we eat,
remembering that every atom of food
that is placed in the stomach, not in
condition to be readily assimilated,
lowers the system below par Just to
that extent and renders it subject to
the inroads Of whatever poisonous
germs may gain an entrance into the
system, whether with our food or
through the air we breathe. Live In
the fresh air as much as possible.
Lastly, do no. worry, for worry is one
of the insidiOus causes of fever.
