Developing the philippines.

Development Of Philippine natural
and the manufacturing and
Industrial plants has hardly started.
Capital and workers are needed and
the markets for both are tight.
About one-third of the total area Of
the islands is covered with timber.
Practically all of this is owned by the
government, which grants concessions
for timber cutting and sawmills.
There are about fifty sawmills, most
Of them small. Red and white lauan,
the trees 200 feet high, are the prlnci-
pal wood Of commercial value. The
red is used as a substitute for ma
hogany. ApItong and guijo are the
next timbers In value.
Woods for varnishes, paper pulp,
%perfumery, essential oils, dyes, tan
ming and medicinal purposes grow
wild, but little has been done to make
them commercially valuable.

Of the younger generation, says East
and West News. Some of the Amer
lean movie stars are as much Jap
anese favorltes as they are American
favorites. Charlie Chaplin Is known
even to the child who does not know the
name of the Japanese premier. Every
movie" theater In Japan las Its W
orators who explain the pictures
especially the foreign ones-to the au-
dience while the show Is going on. Re-
Gently the authorities summoned all
motion-picture operators attached to
the picture halls In Tokyo and gave
instructions regarding the practice OF
the profession Of film orators. As a
result Of the meeting the authorities
decided to give n regular course Of
lectures for the benefit of film orators.
The first Of the series of lectures will
be held early this year and will in
clude such subjects as history and
geography.

PILGRIM IN SPIRIT
Brave Men All Who Sought Lib
erty in America.
Justice In Writer'S Claim That Every
Family Tree Among us Has lts
Roots In q Mayflower.

Fol- three centuries and more a nat
ural selection has been going on In
Europe, sorting out the pioneers from
those who preferred to let well enough
tho matter how bad II happened to
be) alone. The Pilgrims came to these
shores to escape a religious tyranny,
and In their wake millions have fol-
lowed because they have preferred
TO seek the new world rather than
put up with the abuses of the old.
Great hosts have turned their backs
on political oppressors because Of be-
lief In the freedom to be found here.
Still other m%ultitudes have fled from
grinding economic conditions In order
to find a fair chance In n country
which stood to them as the land of OPP
portunlty.
The Mayfiower was not Launched
by towards" and there have been
mighty few towards among our set
tiers. When n man and his wife sell
all that they have and lead their fam
lily up the %gangplank of M ocean liner,
they may not look very much like the
pictures In the Sunday supplements Of
a 1920 couple, but the difference Is
more In dress than In heart. They are
brave pioneers, and It is from them
and their like that we Americans
have sprung, writes "Uncle Dudley"
In the Boston Globe. In the larger
sense every family tree among us has
Its roots in a Mayfower.
This is why n forelgn-born youngster
going to al American school can I'M
derstand and appreciate the Pilgrim
story In his lesson book. II is some
thing that he has picked up at home
from the old folks, who also were
pilgrims.
Western visitors wandering about
what they have been taught to call
Puritan New England are often mysti-
fled by what they find. They hear n
Jargon OF tongues, catch glimpses Of
papers published In foreign languages,
meet with faces from south Europe,
from Russia or from the Scandinavian
north. "These people certainly are
not Purltans," say the tourists from
Kansas or Oregon. or course they are
not Purltans. But they are not very
far from being Pilgrims, like all the
rest Of America. They have had the
Initiative to leave conditions which
they did not like and cross an ocean
to cast their fortune in a land un-
known. In essence that is the Pilgrim
spirit.
The face of a real American is a
Pilgrim face, no matter what his race
or religion, for II looks not toward
the past, but toward the future.
And If there are times when soma
section of America seems content to
halt, 1t is because the Pilgrim strain
has run a little thin. Nothing could
be more untrue to our ancestry than
standing still. Our blood is mixed, but
at the SANE time very pure. Every
drop of it came from a pioneer.

TO PREVENT CREEPING RIMS
Excellent Plan to Tighten Luos by De-
orees Thereby Avoiding Too
Much on Ono Side.

When the shoulders on the wheel de-
signed to hold the d~emountable rim be-
come worn, the rim and Its tire will
creep on the wheel. naturally this
makes the valve stem project ut an
acute angle and II continued long
enough may cut It of. II the valve
stem Is held firmly by means Of n cap
the strain falls upon the lower por.
ton of the stem and that part Of the
inner tube which surrounds II. In
this connection II is well to call atten.
ton to the need for tightening the
rim Tugs by degrees. IF they are full
ly frightened one after the other and
all the way around the wheel there Is
opt to be too much spnce on n side
of the wheel md too little on the
other. The proper way Is to tighten
one lug and then the n nearly OPP
poslte Il and so on.

Diamond GEORGES Teeth.

diamond George" Cochran, a SYRIA
cuse sportsman whose retirement from
sporting circles followed the first Billy
Sunday campaign In New York, died
recently and was buried by the Billy
Sunday Trail Hitters' association.
Dentists called in by his family re-
moved six and a half carats Of dia-
monds from the teeth of the sports
man. They were inserted In his front
teeth, three on each side. In his stick
pin he wore a f~ive-carat diamond. His
shirt studs were Of three carats each
and the buttons Of a vest he wore each
contained half-carat diamonds. His
watch was set with 13 n and a half
carat diamonds in the shape Of a
horseshoe.

KEEPING UP HISTORIC HOMES
New England Societies Doing Good
Service In Saving Famous Build
inss for Posterity.

The Swampscott (Mass.) Historical
society has undertaken the happy en-
terprise Of trying to save for pos
terity the John Humphrey house.
which, az nearly as can be determined,
has been standing In that town near
the shores Of Massachusetts, bay for
2S4 years. II the date Of Its building
can be fixed as Of the year 1881
some students believe It dates from
1834-then the John Humphrey house
will be recognized as the Oldest In
New England, antedating the Fair
banks house In Dedham by one year.
The Historical society has had the
title traced and a copy Of an old map
made from the original In the British
museum. These go to show the struc-
ture 1t proposes to buy and preserve
Is the m dwelt In by Humphrey, VIC
was assistant to Governor Winthrop.
Some doubt has been expressed as to
whether the building is the original
house, a question having been raised
as to the probability Of fire having
destroyed that structure. The final
test of this is to be made through the
famous elm tree which, until last year,
when II vas blown down In a storm,
stood in front of the house. The
rings OF the elm trunk are to be
counted by the best authority avail
able. If this should prove the tree to
be at least $50 years old the His
torlcal society will feel 1t has proved
its case, for the ELM stood so close to
the Humphrey house It could not have
escaped a fire destroying that struc-
ture.
When II Is saved this house will be
the third of such interesting struc-
lures preserved by historical societies
and their friends within recent
months. The others are the Harrison
Gray Otis house standing at the cor
ner Of Lynde and Cambridge streets
In Boston, which has been practically
restored by the Society for the Pres
~ervatlon Of New England Antiquities,
and General Knox's headquarters at
Wallis Gate, In Orange county about
four miles southwest of Newburgh.
Dating from 1854. this stone and
wooden structure Is rich In memories
of the Revolution and of such dlstin-
guished Americans as Washington,
Greene, Gates and the Frenchmen
Rochambeau and Lafayette. The
Knox Headquarters association pro-
poses to make of this structure a his
torical museum.

Value Of Peat underestlmated.

The great continental Ice sheet, In
vadlng North America. left thousands
of lakes In Its path. %sprinkled over the
northern states from Minnesota to
Maine. In Minnesota alone there are
10000 lakes and more, which are help
Ing to make the North a great sum-
mer playground.
But the interrupted drainage of the
glaciated region gave these states an
other priceless asset, Earl Christmas
writes in the Dearborn Independent.
When great fields Of Ice covered the
ground thousands of years ago nature
was providing, by a curious paradox, a
way for future generations to keep
warm.
Peat, deposited In these lakes and
marshes In quantities sufficient to
make billions of tons of fuel, has been
the beneficent gift Of the Ice sheet to
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, New
York and the New England states.
In the peat bogs. scattered over nine
states and parts of a dozen others,
there lies one Of the great unde-
veloped u of the nation, now
beginning to attract serious attention
with appreciable diminishing Of the
available coal supply OF the country.
Only recently have we come to realize
the immensely Of these deposits, now
apparently approaching development as
a fuel.

Fairy Tale.
STRIPED oRouno.souiRReLs.
WMAAY GRAH IZsS,I % b ssW

"Such beautiful stripes as all my
grandchildren have" said Grauddaddy
Striped Ground Squirrel. "They are
ali so slender and so lovely; they all
wear such pretty brown suits with
such bright and gay decorations.
mot only do my grandchildren maze
themselves look very fine and hand-
some and smart. but they wear these
suits so as to protect themselves from
all the weasels, skunks and d
coyotes.
"These animals would attack the
Striped Grounds Squirrels " they couiu.
But because the Striped round
SQUIRRELS wear suits which make them
look like brown earth with Its plants,
they are usually protected and safe.
"Of course | don't mean that you
wear suits Of the earth with plants
growing upon them.
"No, indeed, | don't mean that!
at would not be at all beautiful
for you to wear earth suits with
plants sticking out all over you. But
what / mean Is that your suits are or
the color of the warm brown earth and
your markings or decorations are or
the color of plants.
"In other words. when you keep
quite still you might be taken for a
part of the earth and not for a little
animal at all.
."And dear Striped Ground-Squirrels,
Granddaddy Striped Ground Squirrel
wants to warn you Of many things.
Though you wear such a safe and
sensible costume or suit, you must be
very careful, for you have lots Of enc
mics. You must never think only of
yourselves. That is not brave. That
is not right.
"When danger is near, you must
give low warning sounds to each other,
and now I will teach you those warm
ing notes."
So ~Granddaddy Striped Ground
Squirrel taught the little squirrels the
different warning sounds which they
could make to tell each other II dam
ger were near.
"You must be very careful. When
there Is danger you must be very still.
You must be so still that no n will
notice you move so much as an inch
or a half an inch.
"You must be as still as though you
had no life In you at all. Come, let
US practice this"
So G%randdaddy Striped Ground
Squirrel gave the little Striped
Ground Squirrels a lesson In how to

REMOVAL OF TIGHT WHEELS
Simple but often Effective E%xpedlent
Is to Loosen Nut and Drive
Car Short Distance.

Sometimes one needs to remove a
stuck wheel on IN occasion when no
wheel puller Is available. As n simple
but often effective %expedlent, jack up
the wheel In question, put the car In
gear, and after removing nut, key, etc,
shake the wheel back and forth, pull
ing at the same time. If this does not
work replace the key. drive car n short
distance. This method will loosen a

STILL TO MAKE
BATTERY WATER
Simple and inexpensive Contriv-
ance Can Be Put Together
by Any Handy Mechanic.
DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION
Boiler or Tank In Which Water 10
Turned to Steam 10 Made Of Quart
or Haif.oaIion Can or Bucket
With Rolled Seams.

With the greatly increasing use OF
storage batteries in automobiles the
demand for pure or distilled water has
increased. II Is unnecessary to pur-
chase this water or pay the garnge
man TO put II In the battery. With
this simple and inexpensive stu any
one can dlstill water for refilllng the
batteries as the occasion requires.
As shown in the illustration accom-
panying tlSs article, the boiler or tank
In which the water is turned to steam,
is made OF n quart or half-gallon can
or bucket with rolled seams. BE sure
they are not soldered at the bottom.
The top OF the can or bucket Is open.
Procure a large tin funnel that VIII
1T over the top OF the can and then
solder firmly and tightly In place as
shown. This completes the boiler.
The condenser consists OF three
lengths OF glass tubing each II inches
In length. These tubes pass through
a larger tube or a piece of iron pipe
or brass tube Of sufficient size to ac-
commodate the tubes with some space
between them. Fit n large cork into
each end OF the large pipe or tube and
pass the three glass tubes through
the corks. Then into each cork ft n
short length OF glass tube, one at the
bottom, the other near the top of the
large tube. Connect the free ends of
the long tubes with rubber tubing 80
that they will form n long continu-
GUS tube.
Fill the boiler half full Of clean
water by submerglng, aud place II
over a gas flame until the water comes
20 a boil. Connect the top Of the
funnel with one free end Of the glass
tube through the condenser by a
