Harems Are Numerous
 In Southern Philippine;

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30.-The ab- sence of civilization in the southern provinces of the Philippine Islands is attributed to the lack of home life and the practice of polygamy among the native Moros, said Mrs. Carl M. Moore, wife of the governor of the Southern islands of the Philippines, and herself Filipino.
 There can be no home life where there is a harem," Mrs. Moore ex- plained. "The lack of home life in the Southern Islands, about 1500 small islands, totaling not over HOO square miles, is due to the influence of the Mohammedan religion. Every man living there under Mohammedan rule not only avails himself of the Koran's granted privilege to four wives, but he also takes advantage of the mod ern privilege of divorce. Like a po- ker player he is continually throwing one wife in the discard and picking

CONSTABULARY CALLED OUT WHEN TWO BRASS
 BANDS STAGE CONTEST

MANILA, Dec 30.-Rivalry between two brass bands became so keen dur ing concert at Pasig, Rizal pro- vince, recently that it was deemed necessary by the authorities to call out detachment of constabulary and the entire police force of the town to preserve order.
 The reason for this display of force was that the concert was a contest of ability and endurance be- tween the bands, one from Tinajeros a nearby town, and another from Kawit, Cavite. the home of General Emilio Aguinaldoa
 The supporters of the contestants were there in force, ready to defend their organization with fists if music failed. After playing more than 300 pieces during the contest which lasted from seven o'clock. Friday evening until daylight the next Sun day morning, the bands agreed to call the contest a draw, thereby avoiding any disturbance. There were no judges of the affair, it being the custom in these contests for the bands to play until one admits de- feat, frequently from exhaustion. The two organizations, which are considered among the best in the Philippines, have met on at least three precious occasions, and each time the result has been draw.
 One of the rules of the contest is that all selections must be played from memory, without written music. Endurance and memory are tested to. the utmost. One band plays five pieces and then the other has it's turn. This program continues without intermission, day and night, until one side is beaten.
 Playing from memory has been an acquisition of Filipino musicians from Spanish times. Recalling an incident at the St. Louis Exposition 1 in 1904, where the Philippine Con- stabulary band played, a member of that organization said that the the audience was amazed when the

Railroad President
 Predicts Prosperity

NEW YORK, Dec .-"Everything today points to long continued pros perity on the part of the American people." said President Charles H. Markham, of the Illinois Central Rail- road at this mornings session of the eighteenth annual convention of the Association of Life Insurance PreSl- dents. Speaking on the subject or Our Common Carriers and National F,xpansion," MT. Markham predicted renewed interest in railway securities by the life insurance companies whose holdings in that class of investment he said, had dropped from 35 per cent of their total assets in 1911 to P per cent at the beginning ofo 1924. He added that in actual amount the life company's investments in rail- way securities had slightly increased rather than decreased during that period. The total of railway securi- ties held by these companies is about S2.O0O,O 100000 Declaring that railroad conditions are now different from the past and that they will remain differ ent, Mr. Markham expressed confi- dence that the life companies will make additional investments ill rail- way securities to such an extent in the future as to reverse the down. ward trend of the recent past.
 "The injurious effects of the late war are beginning to wear off, and all lines of business, including agricul- ture and the railroads are ready to make a new start to levels of indus try that have been as yet untouched. The settled conditions that were in evidence prior to the war are to be resumed Farm prices are becoming more stabilized. A national election unaffected by the heritage of the war has just been decided. A national policy of encouragement of business has been determined upon. In every way, I believe that we are safe in looking forward to an era of good times in which every one will share. '"

fresh one from the deck, providing himself in this manner with con- tinual succession of young beauties for his harem.
 Some of the marriage customs of the land-dwelling natives are quaint A bride seldom attends here own wedding. She is arrayed in her we'd ding garments, frequently of gaily colored materials with veil, many beads and girdles, and then locked in tomblike room where she is under guard of of some male relative. The Imams, Mohammedan priests, recite long ceremonies over the head of the groom. The bridal pair may then exchange long distance greetings thru barred window, but not until after long continued ceremonies, lasting thrown many days and nights, are they considered sufficiently married to set up an establishment of their own.
 .When a woman marries, the family gives her dowry. If she runs away from her husband and it is proved that he has treated her cruelty, she keeps her dowry, whether lands or cattle or money. But if she is un- faithful and runs away with another man she must not only return the dowry but twice the sum. There are very few unfaithful wives"
