SEE BIGGER DAY
IN PHILIPPINES
Opportunities Pointed Out for
Man of Moderate Means.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-Two Phil
ippine islands today offer the greatest
opportunity in the world for the man of
modest means, and the development of
the islands during the next few years
will be one of the marvels of the age,
according to John L. Irwin, secretary to
Governor General Francis Burton Harri-
son.
At the Hotel st. Francis here, on the
first vacation he has had in five years.
Irwin said rumors that Governor General
Harrison is thinking of resigning are
without foundation.
Harrison, he said. has been granted a
leave of absence and is to spend three
months touring India.
Concerning the islands Irwin said:
1.-The cost of living has gone up in the
islands just as 1t has on the mainland,
but wages also have increased.
1--WE have had little trouble in the
Philippines.
The trouble we have had has been
quickly settled.
II believe the present sugar crop will
be larger than last years. and every
year the acreage devoted to sugar pro-
duction increases.
The islands never we're more pros
porous.
THE Philippine independence propa-
ganda is being spread, but it can not be
said that the demand for independence
is greater than it has been.
The natives have improved their con-
dftions so much under the Stars and
Stripes that mostly they are satisfied.

Agriculture.

ATLANTA May 22-The resumption
by southern farmers of the policy and
practice OF crop diversifcation and live
stock farming which made the planters
and farmers of the ffties among the
vealthiest in the country. has proved
% inesdmable value. according to Mar
in Y. Calvin, statistician Of the Georgia
department of agriculture.
Interest and encouragement" says
Mr.. Calvin, might be evolved by d
study Of the ten cotton producing states
the CarOlinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
Sissippi. Louisiana, Tennessee, Texas.
Arkansas and OklahOma-in the matter
Of the production of important crops,
other than cotton, in 1919.
1T would be a source Of interest and
information to ascertain the i've states
which led in the production of corn.
wheat, oats, hay, and so on
There are what shall be designated
8 seven groups Of crops.
- Each state is accorded rank by the
largest and the next largest production.
It viii be remarked that Georgia led
IN one-peaches; Alabama, twO-sweet
potatoes and peanuts; Tennessee, one
hay; Texas, two-corn and oats; Okla
homa, One-wheat.
North Carolina won a place in four
grOups-in wheat, hay, sweet potatoes
and peanuts.
South Carolina won a place IN one
group-oats.

according to government report for
Dec. J. 1919, the total value Of the cot
ton produced in 1919 by the nine states
was 81. S65, SOS. eco
THE farm value Of the seven crops
represents 20 per cent Of the farm value
Of the cotton crop.

Ask Taller Buildings
as Housing Remedy

LONDON. England, May 22.-The So
luton of the housing problem in Lon
don by the erection Of higher buildings
was advocated in a paper read before
the Royal Institute Of British Arehi-
tects.
An appeal was made for the modifca-
ton of the London building act so as
10 permit buildings up to 200 feet in
height opposite parks, open spaces and
the riverside, and structures equal in
height to the width Of the street when
the latter was over eighty feet in width.
The prOviso was made that these cree
tons should be fitted with staircases
affording alternative means Of escape in
case OF fire.
1t was contended that the suggestions.
instead Of increasing the traffic prob
lem, would contribute to reducing it. as
the more business and residential prem
Uses provided in central positions the
less traffic would result between the

EGYPT MAY CUT
RAIL SERVICE
Coal Shortage Forces Con
sideration of Water Routes.

CAIRO, Egypt, May 22.-Owing to great
difficulties experienced in obtaining coal
supplies, the Egyptian state railway has
issued statement to the effect that,
unless, within a stated time, certain con-
signments are definitely assured, the adj
ministratiol will be bound to reduce very
considerably both the passenger and the
freight service.
1t appears that, finding exports Of coal
from England are almost impossible at
present owing to abnormal circumstances
there, large orders were placed in the
United States, but the recent strike in
America stopped that source, leaving
only the possibility of small supplies
from Indiana and South Africa.
An interesting feature Of the present
situation, however, is the fact that for
the first time the railway administration
is urging the public to utilize to the ut
most water transport.
The government in the past up till
the outbreak of the war, did little or
nothing to develop inland navigation, but
rather hindered 1t, especially through
competition In freights with river and
canal traffic and many petty distractions,

Although a certain amount of improve.

authorities took the matter In hand, IT.
land navigation in Egypt still simply
happens" rather than exists as an or
ganized link in the country's system of
communications.
Apart from this policy Of competition
on part of the railways, the irrigation
service, which is responsible for upkeep
Of the waterways and locks, gave very
little interest to the matter, it being con-
fidered that navigation In an irrigation
canal is a nuisance.
AS for the river, facilities are left al
most entirely to the whims of the Nile
md consequently navigation during the
Bring and summer when the river Is
ow, is very difficult for any but very

made in the near future. Their Tack.

PICKING, China, May 22.-The decision
of the treasury department to prohibit

Derivatives after Feb. Is, was most IA
Forably commneted on IN the Chinese

The hope was expressed that in add
ZION to this action the American govern
ment would go one step farther and pro-
hibtt shipment of these drugs from other
countries through the United States
1t is known that many shipments are
made from European countries in bond
through the United States. and it is be
iieved here that II the government can
ind a way to amend its treaties with
European countries so that such drugs
will not have the privilege Of being
bonded it would result in cutting Off 4
large part OF the supply which now
filters into China from all western coun-
tries.

New High Record Set

WASHINGTON. May 22--A new high
record for eggs has been set.
Air service pilots on flight from
France field, canal zone to Santiago, a
distance Of 145 miles. discovered that
chickens could be purchased In Santiago
at less than one half the price prevailing
in the canal zone.
Accordingly, each pilot bought a num-
Der of chickens and took them back in
the plane with him.
On the return trip conscientious hen
in each Of the planes, evidently endeavor-

mountains. it is believed that these are
the highest eggs that have ever been in
