Non. Christian Tribes
Aided by PHILIPPINES Head

Manila, May 7.-(AP)-Governor
General Wood has given instructions
that natives of the non-Christian
provinces, such as those inhabited by
Moros in Mindanao and by Igorotes
in the mountain province, be given
preference in the n after of :llling po-
sitions in the public service.
In letter to the director of the
bureau of non- Christian II ibes, Ludu-
vico Hidrosollo, the governor general
says there has been a tendency to
employ other than natives in the
government service in non Christian
provinces. He points out that the
new policy should lead to more con-
tentment among the non Christians
and result in substantial benefit to
those peoples. The governor gen.
erals letter says:
There is one policy I want you to
carry out persistently and energet-
ically and that is, the employment to
the greatest extent possible of natives
in the various offices and activities of
the Christian provinces. There is
often a tendency to employ other
than natives. In pushing forward
the development of these provinces
we must do all we can to train ma
tives of the provinces to fill the vari-
GUS posts therein"

gain.
The program offered today is such
that even the most fastidious will en-
joy. "The Little French Girl" feat

Hamilton and Esther Ralston is a
gem. The story has been one of the
best sellers Of the season and with
the above named cast provides excel

The companion feature, EAST of

Sea-Sickness Cured
BY Movies Is Latest

Hollywood, Cal, June 1.-(AP)-
An experiment in the filming of NOV
ing pictures for exhibition on ocean
passenger liners as a cure for sea-
sickness among passengers is being
conducted here by Robert G. Vignola,
a director.
The cause of sea- sickness, the di-
rector declares, is largely visual,
predicated on the shifting planes
which characterize the motion of D
ship. The larger ocean passenger
carriers are now equipped with exhi-
bition cameras and screens, and it is
Vignola's belief that pictures can be
made Dor exhibition on shipboard
which will counteract the effect of
the ships motion and save the most
susceptible passengers from the hor-
rors of al-de-mer.
