NOTED FILIPINO WOMAN GIVES
INTERESTING TALK TO MEN,
BEERS OF WOMAN'S CLUB
Island Girls Taught Housekeeping
Ear!y-Marriaae Ties Are
Considered Sacred.

The women o. the Philippin Islands
have always been considered the
EQUALS OF the men. according TO Ma
dame Jamie de Veyra. who spoke be-
fore the Woman's Club at the Elks
auditorium this afternoon. Not in re-
gard to suffrage. explained Madame de
Yeyra. simply because the women are
not eager for voting privilege.
They get everything they want with
out being active In politics. Mother
and wives are consulted in all import
ut business matters. The wife holds
the purse strings and ii is the hus'
band who receives an allowance. As
once was said THE Filipino woman
IS the best man in the Philippines
The Filipino girl Is taught early 10
be a good housekeeper. II is not an
uncommcn occurrence for a girl o.
seven to be seen working on farm.
And the girl IS greatly devoted to- her
home and family. The boys in the
PHILIPPINES very often come 10 the
United tSates in the spirit Of adven-
ture. but it Is not often that a girl
leaves home prompted by similar
sentiment.
In 1906. melted by Madame de
veyra and an American woman. the
first nurses training school was es-
tablishe6 on the Islands. According
TO the public sentiment prevalent at
that time. nursing was considered an
inferior occupation and - worthy OF
- ~ 70
Only SIX girls went into training ut
that time. Now hundreds of girls are
enrolled aud nurses are very highly
considered.
Tells Of Woman's Club.
Madame de- veyra told OF the first
wouran's Club which was organized In
1919. At the present time. there are
S&2 woman's Clubs scattered over the
islands Many public schools have
been erected. Here again great an
tagonism was met with. since these
schools are coeducational. and that
was highly undesirable according 10
the strict code Of conventions harhor'
ed BY the inhabitants. Hastv mar
riages between boys and girls OF
school age ts. Of course. one OF the
evils OF a co-educational system. but
In the PHILIPPINES. a. pointed out by
Madame de Veyra, the girls great de-
yotion to her home and mother makes

The illustrious Filipino woman told
Of the Child Welfare work started IN
1907. Previous to that time. the In.
fant mortality OF the Islands stood at
a percentage Of so per cent. An Amer.
lean doctor gave the first $4,000 and
a milk station was established. Babies
were examined. homes inspected, lee
lures given. The conclusion was
reached that the three causes for the

furnaces and maintain steady head
Of steam to keep the dynamos turn
ing.
One Of the underlying reasons for
discontent among coal miners and
therefore one Of the main causes of
the coal strike is the intermitteDcy in
the industry. The big demand for
coal comes In the winter time; In the
summer months 1t falls of. Coal Is
mined as the market calls for 1t.
Therefore, when the demand is light
there Is little mining to be done. The
The result is that coal miners work
but from 1876 to 21O days year.
Willie their wages are regarded as
good their work Is nOl steady and
therefore their earnings for the year
are not large.
1t is the opinion of experts that the
coal industry is overmanned. There
are some 100000 men engaged in 1t.
Under the power plan, the intermit-
tency In the work of coal miners
would be eliminated. The coal would
be feeding machines running steadily
and not an ever-changing open-market
demand.
Fewer Men Would Be Needed.
The requirements Of the power gen.
orators could be reckoned in advance
with fair amount Of accuracy and
the coal could be kept coming above
ground regularly all the year round
Fewer men would be required to take
care Of this production and while the
change would throw many thousands
out OF work 1t would b. gradual and
ultimately would result in a cleal
economic gain. 1t Is claimed. Fewer
men would be doing one branch o.
the worlds work. The remainder
would become engaged In other pro
ductive labor.
The first step in the plan for thu
electriication of the nation Is tn
changing over Of railroads from steam
to electric power. The railroads eros
the country In every direction and tn
cities and industries which consum'
power are built up along their tracks
Power cables would parallel tn
tracks. but would carry so much NOR
mower than would be required for tn
railways that the surplus would b.
annie for diversion to the cities e
route. This would run the mills an
factories, light the cities and furnis

are reduction in fuel cost, In main

increased speed on grades, Increased
reliability, reduced train crews, IN
creased safety, reduced damage ana
wear on equipment. reduced deprecla'
ton on tracks and improved atmos-
pheric conditions. Noise also Is elm
mated. The child Of the future may
not identify a railroad train as
"choo-cho0."
Electric Operation Cheaper.
All operating costs considered, the
experts figure that there is a net saw
ing of 25 per cent in electric opera
ton of railroad trains as compared
with steam. An analysis made by the
Norfolk & Western railroad revealed
that the fuel cost of running an cleo
trio locomotive 100 miles was $44.So'
compared with cost OF $72.42 Tor
| steam locomotive.
It is estimated that power can Dc
| transmitted by cable for a distance
| of 200 miles before the leakage makes
the transmission wasteful. In many
| sections Of the country no railroad
is more than 200 miles distant from
| coal mine. But in the non-coal-produc'
ing regions, the mine-mouth electrical
plants would be supplemented. under
the plan, by hydro-electric power
plants.
| The nation is rich in water power
by far the greater part of which Is
undeveloped. The general scheme OF
/ railroad and industrial electrificatior
would include greater power develop
ment from the streams. Between
these hydro-electric plants and thf
coal-consuming power plants the cOun
try could be covered with networi
of power cables which would serve
every purpose.
Some coal movement would con
tinue, such as that for domestic heat
ing, but the great bulk Of the Goa
transported to run railroads and fac
tories would not leave the mines. 1T
energy would be shipped by wire.
Such a stupendous development
could not be realized In a day. I
would be the work Of many years, bu
with the forces Of the government
supplemented by the support Of tn
great Industrial and railroad corpora
tions, 1t might be a feasible undertak
ing.
