dition Of the pupils health is not very good,
 In some schools the domesic sci- ence classes prepare the lunches and sell them for enough to make a. little fund for the kitchen expenses. The children reach home about l p. nl., aired and hungry, and have their big meal of the day-rice. fish Cor often meat. beef or pork) and boiled veg etables with a banana or two for desert. Water is drunk only after eating, never before nor during the
 meal. There are dental and medical clinics at the schools in Manila and many provintcal towns. Just now the children are being vaccinated against typhoid which has recently become epidemic
 In spite of the drawbacks of pow erty or hardship more children flock to the schools every year. The scho ol year . opens in June, and on June 30 this year the attendance in Manila was 46,ooo, with 3,9s7 in the high schools and 1900 teachers employed. The population of Manila. is about 2S0,000. and more than one in every six persons is school pupil. The total enrollments in the islands is about 100000.

FILIPINO SCHOOL THROUGH
 COOL MORNING HOURS ONLY Children Troop to School Without Breakfast-One in Six of Population Attends School-Regis- tration on Increase

Manila, Oct. 21.-The school day opens in the Philippines at 7:30 a. m
 and continues five hours, or until 12:30 p. m- for high schools and in- term ediate schools. with the latter holding classes in industrial work and athletics in the afternoon. Mornings are the cooler portion of the daylight hours 50 the schools open as early as possible. Soon after sunrise the streets fill with children trooping off to early classes.
 Usually Filipino children go to school without breakfast, as their mothers do not have the habit of pre- pairing this meal at so early an hour Little is kept from one meal to the next: marketing must be done before breakfast can be cooked. So about 10 o'clock a long recess must be given to allow the children time enough to buy a light lunch from the little stands, often kept by Chinese, that spring up around every school build ing. There is much banter and great hagg1ing over the penny purchases; even ice water is sold. The Health Service strives to- keep the lunch stands sanitary, but at best they are net very clean, and the general con-

 Low Inspection Cost
 Considering the size of the task the federal inspection of food is low, it was stated. The cost having been less than one-hundredth of one per cent of the value of those products. That the job is a large one is shown by census figures noting that in 1913 there were 6745S establishments engaged in the manufacture of food products, with an annual output valued at the huge amount men toned. These figures include manu- factured goods only and do not take into account the great volume of commerce in raw foods such as milk, fresh fish, wheat, corn, oats, fruits and vegetables. To these larger amounts must also be added the food products imported. which in 1921 amounted to s672,975,OOo.

Lethbridge, Alta. November 1s.- The Canadian governments plans to prevent the extinction of antelope in Western Canada are proving success ful, and the preserve created at Fore most, Alta, in 1918 with 50 animals in captivity, now holds in 130 head.
 Known as the Nemiskam park, the preserve comprises nine square miles, and the steady growth of the herd and the absence of diHease is good evidence that the experiment. Is likely to result in saving this most inter esting species from the extermina- tion which otherwise inevitably awaits it.

By AssocIated preas

Washington, November IS.-The popular conception that iron and steel industry is the largest single one in the country is declared by the agriculture department to be err roneous. The greatest industry is that of food manufacturing It out strips iron and steel, the department says, as four outstrips one.
 As emphasizing the need of addi- tional food control laws, the depart ment calls attention to the growth in recent times of food manufactur- ing in factories as against prepara- tion in the homes. A few years ago, 1t says, most food was prepared at home or nearby and since the com sumer knew about the conditions of it's preparation there was little need for food laws. Today. as so much food Is produced and prepared a long way from those who consume it. some sort of government control is regarded by department officers as necessary.
 The meat packing industry alone. the department declares, represents

 "A speed limit of 15 miles per hour makes law breakers of us all. Safety itself often demands a higher speed. The 15-mile limit puts powerful weapon in the hands of officers who desire to be interruptions. Abolish the limitations which we all must break and enact and enforce a reckless driving law. So long as . man is driving within his brakes that is, able to stop within two feet if the appearances indicate the ne- cessity, or 100 feet if conditions war rant. he is driving safely.

GARRETT LEADER
 OF MINORITY PARTY
 POSSIBLE IN HOUSE
While Kitchin Will Make Race North Carolina Democrat Will Meet Strong
 Opposition
WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD. Washington. D. c. Nov 1g

Representative Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, nominal democratic leader, by expressing belief that he will be elected speaker of the House, gave unuistaksbla evidence that he will not yield the honors that he can not exercise.
 Thereby, 1t is no secret in Wash ington, he has aroused certain bit terness and much regret in demo- cratic circles. The rank and file of the party in the House, if frank statements privately made count for anything, adhere to conviction that party honors, another session of Con- gross. should go to those leaders who bore the brunt of the fight the last session of Congress.
 They want to honor Representative Fns Garrett of Tennessee and Rep resentative John Garner of Texas.
 How Garrett Led
 Mir. Kitehin. while democratic leader, was stricken In the House two years ago by paralysis. Imme- diately, he retired to his home in Scotland Neck. and since then has not endeavored to lead the democratic column. Nevertheless, officially. he is leader, and gives indication of standing again for election as leader.
 Mir Garrett the last session or Congress, to the front of an organ ization of fewer numbers than the republican majority fought the battle of the party. His main assistant was Mir. Garner. ranking democratic member of the ways and meaus com mittee. It is the consensus of opin- ion that their leadership was superb, wf.1l h democratic successes in the Novem- Der elections.
 It became the hope of the rank and file of the party in the House that Mr. Kitchin, on account of his illness, would voluntarily yield the baton of leadership.
 The Democratic Chance There is just one chance in thousand, 1t is indicated. that demo- erats will be able to elect a speaker the next session of Congress. The Wisconsin delegation, composed ex- slusively of LaFollette independents will exercise the balance of power. If the "standpat" republicans trade with Wisconsin and thereby give Wisconsin the leadership in return for the speakership, democrats will have no opportunity But if the "standpatters'' conclude to fight. Wisconsin might make an agreement with democrats,
 In that event, democrats would of- fer Garrett for the speakership. At any rate, they will support Garrett for the leadership of the minority It is clearly indicated today that If Kitchin concludes formally to asK< for reelection, opposition. will de- velop, and democrats will turn him down The argument Is that kitchin has had all the honors, and in hls hour of physical distress, should sui fer others to participate.

Importance of Tire Valve Caps

A tire valve without cap gives every opportunity for sand and dirt to work down into the valve, and ultimately to produce a leak. While tire remains inflated, this dirt in some cases may do no harm. But when a new imitation is made, the pump drives the dirt down into the valve. and make an air-tight con nection almost impossible.

Clean the strainer in the gasoline line once month. In spite of the best care, some dirt is constantly getting into the gasoline tank, and soon lodges on the strainer. This will eventually clog it. shutting off the gasoline and stopping the engine.

Recharsing weak Battery

When battery gets low unex- pectedly, do not run the engine idle just to charge 1t, except possibly for a few minutes. Running an engine idle chokes it with oil and carbon. and the cost of the gasoline Is out of all proportion to the quantity of electricity produced. The proper way is to remove the battery and have it charged at service station.
