best argument as to the tact and capa-
bilities of Filipinos that the Philippine
Islands have in Washington.
The commissioner is a 100 per cent
Filipino, a Visayan, and is n 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
El Nueyo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
Pine 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
a live wire in the Philippines u
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.
gressional circles are concerned.

the entire citize.HHar& of the islands."t
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 manner 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 care 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.

for the lepers, the insane and the con.
yicts, and gathers data to influence leg
i~slation for the benefit of Filipino wo.
men and children.
The four little De Veyras, shown il
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
