JUST WHAT CLINICS DO TO GIVE

missioner or Health, New

There isn't a day IN the year when
some ore does not suffer from lack
OF medical care. because he cannot
afford 70 pay a doctor.
There Is no excuse for this. Every
city IN the world has it's hospitals
and It's dispensaries, its free clinics
and baby health stations
Some country towns and rural
communities are not so fortunate,
but IN these districts poverty Is Iesa
common and charges OF the country
doctor are low.
The poverty OF the cities is heart
breaking. I can take you 20 thou
sands or so-caEed homes in New
York city where II persons live IN
three rooms-wbere four sleep IN
the kitchen every night.
II Will be hard for you TO believe
81, but the death rate among these
badly-housed families Is materially
less. in some sections. than IL Is
among the well-to-do.
The explanation? These families
blindly follow the advice Of the pub

Of Representatives
In a speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently APP
plauded
"At one time," said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before 1t no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of the
Irish people, If not actually urging Eng
land to grant independence to Ireland.
At that time, also the Filipinos were
knocking at your door. Out Of the
womb of war, many European repub-
lies were born, and America has re-
joiced to uphold the same. And yet
the claim of the Filipinos is still I'M
needed. Must there be exceptions,
then, in international justice?
MY plea, gentlemen of the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests of a de-
serving people for an independence
that rightfully belongs to them. The
granting of independence now affords
the United States golden opportunity
to give to the world unanswerable
and its altrusm. 1t will be the great
est example of square dealing In the
history Of the ages.
do not think we are not appre-
ciative of all you have done for us.
We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race in all
history. The high points Of the Amer
lean policy in the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruism.
We know that you were actuated in
your labors by the desire to contrib
ute to our own welfare.
"And we love you perhaps most Of
all for your solemn promise to grant
us that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. independence is
our national ideal It Is our all abb
sorbing aim. 1t grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit of nationalism
never dies. Much less can it be SUBJ
dued. We believe that we can never
hope TO be sturdy nation if we are
to rely forever on the magnanimlty Of
the United States. @
"America's task in the Philippine
Islands Is finished. What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation in
that part of the world has been full
filed. A people with medieval sys-
TEN of institutions has been trans
formed into q conscious nation, inn
bued with all that Is modern in the
activities Of nations. And II you give
us independence our gratitude to you
will increase thousand fold It will
last forever If you keep faith with US.
"There is but one Issue in the Phil.
ippine question, and that is: Is there
today a stable government on the Is.
lands? In the Jones law you promised
independence upon the establishment
of such stable government. Your
own Goverhor-Geheral has officially
reported that there Is Il stable gov
eminent in existence today, and we
also have submitted plenty Of evidence
to substantiate its existence. There
fore, we hope and expect America Will
now carry out its pledge"

CHICAGO, November ga notable
increase along the lines of industrial
production is noticeable in this ter
ritory. This plainly reflects a short
age of merchandise in the hands of
distributors. 1t Is q natural result
from the policy of retailers for many
months of refusing to buy or Of buy
ing only such articles as they knew
they could sell quickly at a profit.
Bare shelves and a fair demand from
consumers now are driving retailers
to market, and jobbers rather than
retailers are enjoying the best busi-
ness.
Chicago dry goods houses and deal
ers in related lines will hold their
semi-annual preinventory sales next

Early Christmas Buying
Indicates Brisk Trade
BY FRAN d. McLAIN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. November 23.-
Local retail merchants have made prep
arations for a large holiday trade and
early Christmas shopping gives tndt-
cations that business will be brisk In
the department stores from now to the
end of the year. Goods offered were
never more attractive. The demand is
running largely toward wearing apparel
especially mems clothing. and prices
are well below those prevailing last
year.
The number Of workers unemployed
here decreased one and a half per cent
in October and the condition has i'm
proved at a greater ratio this month.
The calling Of a proposed strike in the
garment trades has been delayed and
there is prospect that the employers
and employees will reach an understands
ing which will obviate trouble.
More men are being employed in the
building trades and construction OF
dwellings is particularly active just be-
yond the western city line where 500
houses are being put up, most Of which
have been sold in advance. ATLANTIC
City and other shore resorts also art
carrying on active building campaigns
A movement to raise $4.500.000 for a
community chest to cover requirements
of charity and other purposes for fifteen
months is not receiving very vigorous
support owing to reduction Of incomes
from Investments which many people
have suffered.

Cloud of Pessimism IN
New Orleans Area Lifts
BY l. v. SHANNON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS. November 23.-The
cloud of pessmism which spread over
this section following the recent ex-
tended decline in cotton prices has
already begun to tighten now that
the commodity again is on the up
grade. The assistance which local
banks in connection with the War
Finance Corporation gave the cotton
growers and merchants prevented en-
forced liquidation and consequent
heavy losses which heretofore have
the cotton market. Within the last
third of its loss in price.
Local exports declare they see in
dications Of 20-cent cotton again as
the result of the ability Of farmers
to hold for advantageous markets
and the uncertainty of future sup
plies. Until that time comes. how
ever, no great Improvement in the
business situation in this section is
looked for. With 20-oent cotton,
capital now tied up in that staple
will be released and business will i'm
mediately begin to revive throughout
this section of the south.
The continuation of unseasonably
warm weather here has contributed
to the general dullness Of trade. The
business in goods for the holiday
trade has been disappointing, because
OF the large stocks carried over by
retailers from last year. There has
been renewed activity in the Louisiana
oil fields with general resumption of
drilling operations.
