ed States," says Mrs. de veyra. II do
not mean to infer we are perfect, Tor
we are not. My people have most OF
the defects, I suppose, that other hu-
mans have, but at the same time we
are far from the. people that many
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we q Christian people,
but our race has a history that we are
not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take v their W af-
fairs. We all love America for giving
us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence,
which is n Of the dearest desires OF
the entire citizenship Of the islands,"
To American women whose ideas OF
Filipinos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions Of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve-
lation. She is sought by women's clubs
because Of her charming am as an
%impromptu speaker on the subject
nearest her heart-the women of her
country.
At a recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English a concise
account Of the work of a woman's club
in Manila which supplies milk to the
babies of the poor and trains mothers
to are for their young children. She
told Of another woman's club which
has branches all over the Philippine
Islands and which maintains day
nurseries for the children of the work
ing women, provides Christmas cheer
for the lepers, the insane and the con-
victs, and gathers data to influence leg
islation for the benefit Of Filipino wo-
men and children.
The four little De veyras, shown in
the picture, having attended the pub
lie schools in Manila, slipped right into
the same grades in the schools of
Washington. Even little Mary, the
baby Of the family. speaks three Ian
guages-her native tongue. Spanish
and English.

Permit US to present the De veyra

Permit us to present the De Veyra
family.
The Hon. Jaime g. de Veyra Is the
Resident Commissioner from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States and
has just been elected to a second term
of three years. AS Resident Commits.
sioner he has a seat on the floor Of
the American Congress, the privilege
of taking part in debates, although no
vote.
Commissioner de veyra has an inter
esting wife and four bright Filipino
Riddles. The De veyra family, individ'
ually and collectively. constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa-
bilities Of Filipinos that the Philippine
Islands have in Washington.
The commissioner Is q 100 per cent
Filipino, a visayan, and is one OF the
foremost leaders of the party In power
In the islands. During American occu'
patton he has been successfully gov
ernor of his province, member OF the
Philippine legislature, cabinet mem
Der and executive secretary Of the
islands.
Like many statesmen Of the Philip
pines, he was originally a newspaper
man. He was one of the founders OF
Ell Nuevo Dia Of Cebu. the first Fill
pino paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence. The paper came
under the censorship Of General NC
Intyre, and on the appearance OF the
first number the editors were left IN
the singular position of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband, Is
q Give wire" in the Philippines cause.
She is the best known Filipino In
America. She is an Interesting public
speaker and is constantly giving Illus
trated lectures at women's clubs and
other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra Is a
publicity bureau all in herself and has
put the Philippines on the map, so far
as the women folk of Washington con-
cressional circles are concerned.
II find that the Filipino people have
been much misrepresented in the Unit

REST PERIODS
FOR VISITING
(By the Associated Press.)

% (Iy lIS fAoSUCl0lcN xICSSsy
Marlboro. Mass, April 26.-Smoking
and chatting periods have been intro
duced at a local shoe factory in an ef-
fort to increase efficiency. Several
ideas eliminating unnecessary process
es have been adopted and other sug-
gestions aimed at time-saving are be-
ing tried out.
Some of the operatives, it is said,
did not take kindly to the experiments
and were wondering obviously what
the next attempt Of the management
to obtain a shortcut to production
would be. 1t came In unexpected
form and the employees are now dis.
cussing the latest idea v their
pipes and their knitting ION the com.
pany's time"
Their speculation over the next eff.
aciency plan was answered by the fol.
lowing announcement: production
must be increased. Quality must be
improved. Beginning tomorrow, Oper.
atoms will be suspended twice daily to
allow operatives to rest"
During these periods, which began
at 10 in the morning, and 3 In the at
ternoon, the power Of the plant is shut
off and the wheels are stopped while
the men smoke and the women chat
or knit. Then the whirr Of the machin-
cry begins again and the workers re-
turn to their task Of making shoes.

* SALAD CROPS IN GARDEN? X
4 4 Il Il

Salad crops, a distinct and important
group of garden vegetables, include
dandelion, lettuce, endive and cress.
Lettuce, n Of the most commonly
grown and earliest crops, usually is
planted in too large quantities by anna
tours. 1t is better to make three or
four small paintings and have a con
tinuous supply until hot weather be-
gins, say garden specialists Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
Lettuce requires q mellow, rich soil
and plenty of quick acting fertilizer.
1t is a good plan to SOW seed in the
house about two or three weeks before
the ground in the open can be worked.
Then transplant the small seedlings as
soon as the ground is in good condition
and the weather warm enough. A little
frost does not hurt lettuce, especially
if the plants are gradually tempered 10
the outside conditions. Later the seed
can be sOwn where the plants are to
grow and the seedlings thinned to al
even stand, about three inches apart.
The rows need not be more than twelve
or fourteen inches apart as the Guilt
walton is practically all done by hand.
An abundance of lettuce can be grown
between the plants of other garden
r~1nn r0 th0t mn nvtrO syNOFn fc lsnQ1IV
required. Lettuce runs to seed very
quickly after the hot weather begins.
The head varieties such as Big Bos-
ton and Iceberg are very commonly
grown in the early spring. but the
lose leaf varieties, such as Black Seed
ed Simpson, will stand the heat better.
Cos lettuce Dr. Romano is frequently
grown during the summer. 1t has an
upright type Of growth and forms a
long, loose head.
Dandelion is sometimes grown as a
salad crop in our gardens, but is o
often gathered from the lawn and in
pastures. Where it is grown in a solid
bed in the garden the seed should be
sown in the early fall and the plants
covered very lightly with straw during
the winter. Then during the early
spring the plants may be blanched by
spreading a little more straw over
them.
ChickOry Is a two season crop, that
IS, the seed must be own the previous
season, thereby permitting the roots TO
become fully grown. These may be
placed in the cellar in a box of moist
sand to produce the crowns Of tender
leaves, or they may be left in the row
where grown and a heavy mulch OF
straw put over them in the early
spring to blanch the W
Two types of cress are grown-the
common graden cress, which is a weed
in many localities, and the true water
cress. Ordinarily, water cress is
grown upon the surface Of small ponds
of flowing water, but it may also be
grown in a shallow box of soil in The
cold frame, or even in the open ground
if shaded and given plenty of water.
The young leaves and tips of the stem
are cut off and used either alone as
salad or mixed with lettuce, dandelion
or some other salad plant.

Someone has been putting poison out
for rats and crows and many Of the
song birds and pet animals around
town have gotten it and been killed.
If people could see the terrible agony
that animals are in after taking poison
we do not believe they would ever use
it even for rats. Traps and snares are
much safer and then other animals
will not be injured. A wren and a
robin and a mother cat have been
poisoned in one block the past week.
If poison had to be used it should be
put out of the reach Of pets.

TIME FOR THE RADICAL
LEADERS TO DIS
APPEAR

Despite the. attempt of labor to
stop the passage of the railroad bill,
the bill passed both the Senate and
the House. Having produced the
best possible solution of situation
which was to say the least, chaotic.
the conferees deserve n vote of
thanks. Certain radical labor lead
ers are bitter, naturally. Tilere Will
rot be so much for them to do II the
bill Is signed. AS Senator Lenroot
said, he was not afraid ito be black
listed by labor" 1t is high time that
representatives of organized bodies
shall cease appearing before Con-
gressional committees and telling
them what laws shall and shall not
be passed and that If the ones arc
passed they don't want they won't
be obeyed.
