TRIP TO THE PHILIPPINE
Manila
BY Una Clingan Rands


"Intra Muros''-the Walled City
of Manila comprises what was the
ancient town. The wall was begun
some five centuries ago. 1t was
surrounded Except where bordering
the Pasig River) with moat, having
w-bridges at the various city
gates. These were drawn each
night until after the great earth
quake of 1853 which left but one
building intact, 800 large buildings
being destroyed by the first shock
and destruction completed by an
other five days later.
was given a description of the
moat soon after American oc-
cupation. Full of stagnant water
the dumping place for the rubbish
and filth of the city and lowering
over it for two or three feet swarm
If mosquitoes so dense as to resemble
cloud of smoke. Upon returning
to the Islands eight years later my
informant found the moat filled in
with earth. Today there are tennis
courts, beautiful green-turfed
golf course, parade ground, ETC., on
the site of the former horror
Flowering vines drape the walls in
places, and where the wall is broad
enough little parks with trees and
shrubs grace its heights.
The Walled City has many old
churches, some very fine; converts
and monasteries, and number OF
government buildings over which
The Star Spangled Banner and flag
'of the Filipinos" appropriately
bearing a blazing sun, fly side by
side. Next the river is Fort San
tiago now used as Department Head
quarters by the United States Army. |
Very pretty and picturesque with its
trees, walls and the gate with its
basreliefs of helmeted Dons on
prancing horses. But at certain
times I'm told the old Spanish
dungeons underground are open tic
The public, and grim tales are told
of the men herded in there when
the Pasig river rose and drowned
them all-probably mercy to them
The old city-and all of it for
that materials an indescribable
odor of fish, garlic and general
mustiness. The large sliding win
dows are quaint with their 2 by 3
inch shell panes.
Outside the walls one steps into 9
newer city of parks and comparative
,paciousness, though there are few
buildings of more than three
itories- of the danger OF
earthquakes. The majority are two
tories.
City transportation is accomplish
ed by auto, trucks, trolley cars
oarromatas or two-wheeled pony
carts that are always for hire, long
horned carabao or water buffalo, or
Filipino women's heads and China
men trotting along with huge baskets
of produce hung from the ends o.
he 'pindar stick" across his
shoulder. Just at first one is in
terested at the sight of two

street, his driver wearing gauz
knit undershirt over his turkey re
knee breeches. And by the way, yo
turn to the left as the law directs,
in Manila, 'for such is the rule

The people are demanding better
practical results for the money in
vested in higher education, or 6
smaller investment.
The broad charge is made ir
a Middle West state. that the state
university is not enabling men tc
get a practical equipment on which
to earn living, in short that there
is too much theory.
Too many young men with -four
years college training, find they

TAKE THEM TO THE
DENTIST
e Dent. Of Health.

From State Dept. OF Health.
Dentists throughout Maryland win
be kept busy between now and the
day when the schools open in the
fall, getting the teeth of the pros
pective first graders in good shape,
if the advice of the doctors who
have had charge of the child health
examinations that have been held by
the State Bureau of Child Hygiene,
is followed.
According to an announcement by
DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of the
State Department of Health, the
Bureau of Child Hygiene is making
special effort during the summer
to examine as many as possible OF
the children who will enter school ir
the fall. At the examinations
child health conferences, as they are
called-the teeth, tonsils, eyes
ears and general physical condition
of the four, five and six year olds
animation is sent to the family
physician and the parents are ad-
vised to consult him if the children
need any attention. If visit to the
dentist is recommended, the parents
are urged to have the children's
teeth attended to during the sum
mer, and not to wait until after the
schools open in the fall to have it
done.
If the children have not been sue
cessfully vaccinated against small
pox, attention is directed to the
State law which requires every chile
to be vaccinated before he or she
can be enrolled in the schools.
The health inspections of the
prospective first-graders were begun
in May by the Bureau of Child
Hygiene, working in cooperation
with the State Department of Educa
ton, and will be continued through
out the summer. During June
Child Health Conferences were held
in seventeen out of the twenty-three
counties, and altogether 1912 chill
dren were examined. Each confer
ence was held at some conveniently
located center, and in number Of
instances the school, buses carried
the youngsters and their mothers to
and from the conferences.
OF the 1912 children examined
204 were under four years old; 1863
between four and seven, and rs were
eight years old or over. sOver half
of the childrenA988-had one OF
more decayed teeth or teeth other
wise needing attention. Practically
one out of every five-that is S43 OF
the total-was underweight, and
needed building up, and one
out of every three-695-had un-
healthy tonsils or adenoids. Only
one out of every three had been
vaccinated against smallpox, and
1850 will have to be vaccinated
before they can be admitted to
.chool
Mothers and fathers can be de-
pended upon to provide new suits
md dresses ana SHOES Tor the little
first graders" Dr. ]. H. M. Knox
r., Chief of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene said in describing the ar
rangements for the conferences.
but it is vastly more important tc
get them ready from the stand
point of Health. According to the
estimates of the State Department of
Education, 10000 children will
reach school age this year and be
eligible for admission to school
Counting the children examined in
May, and those brought to the con-
terences in June, over 1000 have
been examined so far. We hope to
reach a great many more before
the summer is over"

crystals as galena.
AS crystal used alone. galena is
probably the most sensitive obtain
able. When properly adjusted it will
give exceptionally good results. Its
usefulness Is limited. however, by its
inherent instability and by the fact
that specimens of galena crystals are
far from being uniform. Some crys-
tails are unusually sensitive in some
spots, but far from sensitive on the
rest of the surface of the crystal.
This type gives a very sensitive de-
