Filipinos Want Wood Removed

Honolulu.-lmmediat removal OF
Leonard Wood as governor general OF
the Philippines is asked in a resolution
adopted ut Honolulu at Il mass meet
ing of 1000 Filipinos representing all
the islands of Hawaii. The resolution,
addressed to the President of the
United States, charges that the admin
istration of the Philippines has caused
tremendous dissatisfaction and unrest
among the citizens of the islands be-
cause of shOrt-sighted, ill-advised and
un-American politics of Governor Gen
eral Wood. Particular objection is
made to his inSistence that the govern
ment Of the islands release the owner
ship and control of Philippine indus
tries to foreign capital, thus. it is con-
tended, permitting absentee ownership
and exploitation contrary to the best
interests of the Philippines.

REPORT ON COLORADO ONIONS

DenVer.-Ihe commercial onion acre
age in the MOntrose-DeIta district,
Colorado, for the 1923 season, shows
an Increase of about % per cent above
the 1872 acreage, which was placed
around LOO acres.
1t is estimated that in the Weld
county district from 600 to 100 acres
were planted this season which is an
increase over last season. Due TO
floods early in the season this crop
suffered damage. Estimates Indicate
that approximately - per cent of the
acreage was damaged. The condition
of the remaining acreage is better than
the crop was one year ago at apprOXi-
mately the same time. The poor con-
dition of the crop last season was part
ly due to shortage of water. However,
there has been an ample supply of wa
ter this year. The present condition
is about 50 per cent, with an average
of about 10 per cent.
recent report issued by the U. s.
Department of Agriculture, gives the
commercial acreages of onions in three
states compared with the 1922 acre
ages: Indiana, 6,O1S acres, compared
with 5,lSi in 1922 Ohio, 5,I52 acres,
compared with 5,I3O in 1922; New

one that wanted TO get in must pay
him grain of corn for the privilege
Of sleeping in the kings castle
As there were few grains Of corn
to be found at that time. most Of the
hens and chickens slept outside that
night.
1T will do them good and they will
be all the more anxious tomorrow to
save a grain for me-" he said. Il shall
be pretty hungry in the morning and
may have to do "A little picking, but at

live as king should and have my sub
jects wait on me"
Mr.. Rooster was right. All the
hens and chickens saved grain of
corn and the next night his castle was
full Of his subjects, as also was his
crop full of corn.
Mr.. Rooster slept with the string
that worked the lock fastened to one
foot, for sometimes when he was doz-
ing subject came to the castle door.
and one night he was awakened by a
soft voice outside saying: 30 mighty

Now, 1t wasn't goose at all, but
Mr.. Fox, who in some way had heard
about the way Mr.. Rooster was max
ing his hens and chickens pay for
sleeping in the poultry house. Mr.
Fox saw right off a chance to get in
and carry Off one or two fat hens.
Mr.. Rooster was so fattered that he
did not stop to ask any questions or
look out to see who it was. He pulled
the string, the latch flew up and Mr..
Fox jumped into the midst of the hens
and chickens.
Such a crying and squawking as they
set up scared even Mr.. Fox, and be-
fore he could get out of the poultry
house with one, Mr.. Dog came bound
Ing at him, and Mr.. Fox, without his
breakfast, made tracks for home.

The hens and chickens took his sd
vice and the next night poor Mr..
Rooster found himself alone and very
hungry, too. So he decided that being
a king was very hard work, and be-
sides that, he did not like to be alone,
for if Mr. Fox should take notion to
call again he knew that he would need
the help of all the hens to call to Mr..
Dog for help.

SUSANNA

CUSANNA is another of the "holy
~ names" with which the Scriptures
abound. Though it has been contract
ed rather generally to Susan, the prop
er form, and the one which possesses
an interesting history, Is Susanna. 1t
signifies lilly" and comes from the
ancient Hebrew name Schuschannah,
which, in sound, more nearly resem-
bles the French Suzanne.
The story of Susanna, related in
the additional chapters of the Book
of Daniel. and repudiated by st.
Jerome, has been commemorated in
ballad. tapestry and painting. The
name also belonged to one Of the holy
women of the sepulcher, and it was in
the church calendar for two virgin
martyrs who suffered death in the
times of persecution.
The most famous Susanna of his
,ory was the Lily of Titlis," the Queen
Susanna who was put to death by the
Nobammedans for her religious faith.
All the picturesque romance of the
eorlv ages centers in her history.
The English call this name Su-
,snnah. and by a curious coincidence

ROMANCE OF WORDS
YBARITE"

THE present meaning of the
L word "Sybarite" is per-
son who is devoted to luxury
and pleasure, who makes n
fetish of them and who thinks
far more of his comfort than
he does of the larger things Of
life.
The word is taken from the
city of Sybaris, situated in
southern Italy, near the west
shore of the Gulf of laramie.
Sybalis was founded by the
Greeks about 100 B. G. and be-
came very powerful province,
commanding four neishboring
nations and being capable of
placing an army of some 30O,-
600 men In the field. In time,
however, the Sybarites, or in
habitants of Sybaris, became
proud and domineering, noted
for their effeminacy and self
indulgence. 1t is reported that
no trade which entailed the max
ing of noise was permitted to
be carried on in the city, and
Seneca tells the story of Syb-
arite who complained that he
had slept badly and that, upon
examining his bed in the morn
bled under him which had
caused him extreme pain"
Sybaris, incidentally, was
overthrown about 500 B. C. and
never recovered its former
glory, though its name persists
to this day through the medium
of the word "sybarite."

Diamonds by Phosphorescence.

A decided difference has been found
in the phosphorescence of Brazilian
diamonds and those from the Cape.
The former, which are noted for the
liveliness of their light, and which
have become quite rare of late years,
exhibit a brilliant phosphorescence
after being exposed to the radiation
of magnesium ribbon, while Cape
diamonds in similar circumstances
show very little or no phosphorescence.
This is thought to b. q means of de-
tecting diamonds falsely offered as
