S1,242 HIGH AVERAGE SALARY
FOR PROTESTANT PREACHERS

AS a result Of the campaign now
being made by the Interchurch World
Movement the combined Protestant
churches Of America will provide
many more hospitals, clinics and
homes for the aged and infirm. An
interesting feature Of these Protestant
hospitals will be free treatment for
ministers, as recent surveys made by
the Interchurch organization have
made the need for special dispensa-
tons very obvious.
The following startling facts were
divulged as to the average salaries in
the various denominations. Starting
with the highest, the average for Epis-
copal ministers is $1,242; the average
for Presbyterian (North), SLIT; for
the United Presbyterians, $1,096; for
the Reformed Church Dutch, 81, TO;
for the Methodist Episcopal fNorth)
$l,176; Congregational, $1,O42, and for
the Baptists (Northeml, $3.50.
With government experts announc-
ing that $1,000 is the lowest salary
upon which family can be decently
maintained and suggesting budgets for
none lower, ministers have discour-
aging outlook, Such things as hospi-
tai bills are almost impossible to meet,
and yet every normal family has saMe

cordingly the Interchurch Movement,

FILIPINAS GET BALLOT BEFORE
AMERICAN SISTERS.
Sonora de veyra Describes
Status of Women in the (
Philippines.

The Filipino woman Is destined to
be in the worlds spotlight more than
ever before as result of the news just
received by cable from Manila to the
effect that the Philippine senate has
passed the equal suffrage bill giving
women full political rights with men.
This would indicate that the Filipino
may beat her American sisters to the
ballot box.
The Filipino has many admirers who
predict she will make good if she gets
the vote, just as she has made good in
the very important role she has oc-
cupied in the family and business life
of the Philippines ever since the in

responsive little being, the Filipino wo-
man." writes one American concerning
the Filipino. "Mothering the only
Christian people In the far east, she
holds place Of authority, love and re-
spect In family and social life that is
not accorded to women In countries
neighboring the islands. or In India,
China or Japan"
Filipino who is doing an impor-
tant work for her people In the Unit

wife of the resident commissioner from

I'm many ways the path of the wo-
men Of the Philippines is easy" says
Sonora de Veyra. "Laws made by her
have combined the best of American
and Spanish precedents, and she has
come into her own with far less strug.
gle than either her American or her
Spanish sisters. Married women may
hold property in severalty. They are
guardians of their own children. These
are vested rights and cannot be taken
away from her.
professional opportunities are as
good for women as for men in the land

She is usually the keeper of the family

Life is really fifty-tlfty proposition
for women In the Philippines, accord

prominent part in women's work
