The rapid decrease in the number OF

stump has been left standing. silent

greater and men no longer climb high

they cut low down lest good lumber

What the occidental ideals Of univer-

mean to women OF the Orient takes on
a large significance with the eStsb-

is to be part Of an educational group
called Centre EScolor de SenoritaS,
where until now the instruction to
girls has been only in the primary.

That this Filipino Yassar will develop

travellers had devices of various sorts
whereby their subjects were enticed
to spots upon which the hidden lenses
were focused: and upon reaching
these spots an ambushed camera man
snapped" them by twitching a long
cord attached to the lens shutter. A
single negative Of some specially shy
animal was often the only fruit Of
many hours Of patient waiting. Some
times for days the explorers would
watch a single spot through their field
