IN THE SOCIAL WORLD
"OLD FASHIONED"
N FOR TONIGHT

Events in st. Mary's hall in Center
street since the huge supper and en-
tertainment held there directly after
the Lenten season have been few
and far between. However, the old
fashioned dance to be given under
the auspices of the ladies of the
church in that hall tonight will
make up for all this in its entertain
ment, informality and fun. The
evening will be one of variety, be-
ginning with all of the old fashioned
dances. the Irish jigs and the Vir-
ginia reel. for which a violinist and
pianist will furnish excellent music
throughout. There will be games
for those who do not dance, such as
a sack race and others bringing
forth similar merriment, and the
events will be concluded with the
awarding of two prizes, one for the
winners in the games and another
for the nos unique costume worn.
An important feature of the event
is the fact that all of the women at
tending will come attired in old
fashioned costumes for which they
have been r~ansacking their attics
since the first announcement of the
dance some weeks ago. The fact
that a prize will be awarded for the
most unique one worn has added
zest to the quest and those attending
are assured of many a hearty laugh.
Everyone will bring his or her lunch
in conclusion of which the commit
tee Will serve refreshments Of ice
cream and cake. The lunches will
be eaten in picnic fashion as an
other mark of the informally and
fun of the occasion. Everyone will
be welcome at the hall tonight. The
admission is very nominal and all
are assured OF a jolly time. Mrs.
Henry Slater heads the refreshment
committee, Mrs. Charles Buchan the
dance and Mrs. John Lawless the
decorations.

Tells of X. II. Stagnation

WASHINGTON, May 11-Stag-
nation in railroad building in the
United States must be attributed to
disparity between the costs of con
struction and return to investor,
julius Kruttschnitt. chairman of
the board of directors of the South
ern Pacific railroad declared today.
In 1920 only S62,264,00O went as
a return to those who paid for the
property, while sixty times as much
went to those employed on the
railroad. This answers the ques-
ton "why don't we build more rail-
roads?"

THE PHILIPPINES
Charles Hodges, in Leslie's.

Charles Hodges, in LeSlie'S.
 The United States, especially un- der the past eight years of the dem ocratic administration, has gone so far in carrying out self-government for the Philippines that the moment is ripe for decision between these two alternatives: Either the Philip pines have progressed to a point where they no longer need the kind ly tutelage of the United States and should receive their independence or, improvement notwithstanding they still require the support Amer ican overlordship gives them in the none too certain future of the far east.
 A decision favorable to the first alternative means the appearance of the Filipino republic once again in transpacific politics--for in 1898 our capture of the islands from the Spanish involved the passing of a paper insurrecto government outside Manila, whose short dictatorship could be no brief for the Filipinos' capacity to rule themselves. A de- cision favorable to the second implies | the continuance of the benevolent American trusteeship, which has re- made the Philippines politically and
 economically, for the rest of this generation. that Is, for a period in which to Stabilize the experiment in colonial home-rule.
 | President Harding, himself, through this Senate experience as chairman n
 of the Philippines committee and as
 a member of the committee on for eign relations, is able to bring to
