child, a darling boy of ono and half years old.
married at the young and foolish age Of eight
cen, and have had many reasons to regret it, but
always tried to smile and say to myself for bet
ter or worse" Now the most important reason
for my unhappiness Is this. Ny husband is tu-
bercuous, and before he married me. His
family knew this and did me the injustice of
not telling me of his Illness. had been mar
red three weeks when he was sent to a Gov
eminent hospital and two weeks later the doc
tors told me his was an active case OF tubercu-
losis. They sent him South to a sanatarium.
Instead of him trying to do right, he drank and
came home worse than he left In January OF
that year my baby was born. Perfectly happy
and healthy child-not any credit to his father,
but to the and happiness my mother and
family gave me during the months OF his absence.
Since that time he has spent most of his time in
hospitals till his discharge last February. His
health has broken again for want of care and
not drink. He has to leave Washington, and
wants me to go, endangering our perfectly
healthy child and myself to the menace of the

can't trust him. and think my first duty is to see

trust your happiness and the welfare OF your
children to man in whom you have no faith.
Perhaps n period OF mutual separation, which
you have agreed upon, will bring your husband

some OF your difficulties, and OF bringing you

ON FILIPINO PANTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES:
In a recent issue OF The Times there appeared
in a conspicuous place on its fret page an article
headed: "Filipinos must don pants If bill
passes" and quotes part OF bill said TO have
been introduced in the Philippine legislature.
II such legislation is really contemplated, then
those who are acquainted with the Philippines,
its climate and general conditions know that
being "half-naked" there does not necessarily
mean being without pants" Even the most
isolated heather mountaineer in the Island OF
Luzon, is always provided at least with gar
ments that cover his body from the waist down.
But because of his picturesqueness and being
something different" he Is very much sought
by tourists, the majority OF whom are Amer
leans who penetrate his mountain habitat and
take Kodak and moving pictures OF him.
After the pictures reach America, they are
exhibited as those OF typical Filipinos. As a
matter of fact. he is not even Filipino, be-
cause officially. that term refers only to the
Christian inhabitants of the Philippines, who
constitute moro than 95 per cent OF its popula-
ton. These are well known facts, but they Will
bear repeating as often as possible In this coun-
try in order to combat the persistent campaign
OF INSTRUMENTATION that is directed against the
Filipinos and their legitimate aspirations.

MOTOR TRUCK RANKS AS
ClT-EDGED INVESTMENT
Growth Of Sales Proves That II Has
Passed Stage Of Ordinary Divi-
dend Payer.

.sThe phenomenal growth OF the
motor truck In the last few years and
It's general adoption by nearly all OF
the most progressive concerns In the
United States who have transportA-
tisn problems to solve. indicate that
II has passed the stage OF An ordinary
dividend payer. and has Joined the
ranks OF the. gilt-edged Investments.
says Mr.. Pardoe, OF the General Auto
Truck Company, local distributor OF
m mad In Chicago Master trucks.
During the past year over 100000
motor trucks were manufactured
and sold, the factories being unable
to take care Of the demand. and many
OF them months behind on deliveries.
When IL Is considered that this num-
ber Is larger for the single year than
the total production for the first nj
teen years after it's Introduction. IL
is conclusive that the motor truck
has not only been making good as
reliable means OF transportation, but
also as a dividend payer. II IL had
aot been able TO successfully cope
with the transportation problems with
greater efficiency than the formerly
established carriers and had net been
able TO show satisfactory returns on
the original cost after running ex-
penses and depreciation were deduct
ed, IL could never have attained Its
present popularity.
Business concerns which keep an
accurate record OF transportation
costs and requirement use the motor
truck in greater number than any
others. 1t could hardly be expected
that firms who had thousands Of dol
lars invested in other means OF trans
portation would discard that means
and take up the motor truck as
novelty. Firms who carefully ana
lyze their transportation problems
and buy the truck most fitted to
their requirements are the mort sue
cessful operators both from a stand
point OF service and returns.
II know of no better way for tho
prospective purchaser of a motor
truck to be guided than by following
the examples of the larger users. The
large users have facilities for inquir-
ing into every phase of the situation" !"
