764 miles and has increased wages
and paid nice profit over five
year period. The Filipino leaders
refused to sign the lease.
Wood next aroused the antipathy
of the Filipino leaders by vetoing 16
bills passed by the Philippine Legis-
lature.. One Of these measures car
ried an appropriation for ten-year
program for the University of the
Philippines.
Newspapers Aroused
Wood was bitterly criticized for
this use of his veto.
For-the last several months there
have been hot discussions in the
Philippine newspapers over the at
tempt of Wood to force the govern
ment to dispose of its sugar ccntrals
and to liquidate the Philippine NaA
tional Bank.
The Filipino leaders contended
that the sugar centrals were render
ing very valuable service to Filipino
sugar growers and were not in SYM
pathy with the move to close the
bank. ! 4,
Wood, however, took the reins i'm
his own hands and closed IL
branches of the Philippine National
Bank. This aroused storm of pro-
test.
The Filipinos assert that if the
Philippine National Bank is closed
it will place Philippine commerce and
industry wholly Mt the mercy of for
eign capital. President Quezon and
other leaders made a tour of the
islands protesting against Woods
policies and threatened that if the
governor general closed the Philip
pine National Bank the Philippine
Senate would open another.
The Filipinos maintain that Woods
acts are in violation of the spirit of
the Jones law, passed in August,
1916, and assert that Congress intend
ed to give them practically complete
local self-government with full pow
er to enact any legislation that does
not conflict with the sovereignty rof
the United States over the islands.
what Good ls Legislature
They quote the late Congressman
Jones that such was the purpose of
the legislation.
Quezon recently declared that if
Wood is to formulate the policies of
government without consultation
with the Filipino leaders the Legiss
lature might as well be abandoned
completely.
In this connection it is recalled
that the Wood-Forbes report con-
tanned the recommendation that some
of the features of self-governmen
at that time possessed by. the Fill
pinos should be withdrawn. Neither
Congress nor the president, however,
have taken any steps to carry out
these recommendations. Wood is
now endeavoring, the Filipinos as
sert, to bring about the same results
without Congress ever having APP
proved the recommendations.

Once a thriving river town on

Orange, N. j., July s31.-A 69-year
old woman is the best mill hand in

She is Mrs. Rachel Neill, a gray

her plant is one of the busiest in

There's little about milling that
Mrs. Neill doesn't know. She can

BOOKS AID
PILLS IN CURE
Prescribed by Physicians in
Hospitals in Cities

CHICAGO, July 31.-Books as we'll
as pills for curing the sick are now
being used in the principal hospitals
of the country, according to Miss
Louise Singley, district manager, for
the American Library association.
Robinson Crusoe won't cure a
case of tuberculosis, but reading does
keep a patients mind off his trou-
bles," Miss Singley said. efforts are
made to put the right book in a sick
mans hands. A librarian in hospi-
tai studies her patrons somewhat as
a doctor does. Everything depends on
the individual case.
"Some books depress and others
excite. Many librarians say that
whole classes of books should be ia
booed from hospitals for these very
reasons. But if a librarian studies her
patients like the doctor, she can
prescribe books for him without dam
ger. A book that would hurt per.
son with a certain ailment or with .
certain temperament will be all right
for another.
"The psychology Of the patient
must be taken into consideration. A
tuberculosis patient can undertake
more serious reading that most of
the other sick people because his
convalescense covers longer period
of time.
"A librarian cannot tell patient
he must take one novel week in
large doses. However, she has to steer
her readers without them knowing
it. Later on the patient gets interest
ed in some particular line of work,
and after that he takes care of him

The change was decided upon, the
