Philippine Building
Plan Fund Renewed

Again this year the celebrated Chi
cago architect, Daniel H. Burnham. is
being honored by the Philippines in the
voting of several million dollars for the
building of public edifices on the gov
ernment center established in "the
Burnham plans" Of that city in 1905.
1t was then that Burnham furnished
the government plans for the two char
tered cities of the island-Manila and
Baguio. Both cities continue to be i'm
proved along the lines suggested In the
plans, though various notifications
have been adopted-Some for good rea-
sons, some for bad The residual lega-
tee" Of Mr.. Burnham is the consulting
architect of the public works bureau,
Juan Arellano. who after graduating
at Drexel Institute and taking post
graduate work at the University of
Pennsylvania made two world trips to
study all types Of architecture. The
plans are especially safe in Arellano's
hands, as he has almost a sacred de-
votion to his work. The appropriation
bill carries a total fund Of $l2,500,000,
spread over several years.

Japanese Will Build
Temple of Concrete

Reinforced concrete construction in
a Buddhist temple will be used for the
first time in the history of Japan In
the building of the new Asakusa Hon.
gan Temple, in the Coney Island dis
trict of Toxic, replacing the temple
destroyed by the earthquake of 1928.
Heretofore all Buddhist temples have
been of wooden construction and of a
uniform architecture, varying only in
detail and size. Officials of the temple
declare that they learned by the earth
quake of 1923 that concrete construc-
ton is necessary to insure permanence.
In order to maintain the peculiar Bud
dhist architecture of the temple, the
exterior will be painted the dark color
of polished hardwood. The interior will
be lined with the special wood always
used in temple buildings. The new
building will cost about $l,500,000, to
raise which campaign has already
been started

Hotel POrters Speak
Variety of Tongues

Although the porters of Scandi-
navian hotels still remain in the nom
professional class of society they have
gained a reputation for mental ca
pacity equaled by few people in the
higher strata. Every important hotel
in the larger cities of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark has at least two brilliant
y uniformed gentlemen working in eight
hour shifts behind its register and no
one is given such a position without
years Of intensive schooling. The fully
qualified porter speaks four or five
Languages fluently. including English,
French, German and either Swedish,
Norwegian or Daishn, and many of
them have a working knowledge Of
Spanish and Finnish. One porter spent
three years in France and Germany and
two years in London in order to secure
his linguistic repertoire. Fortunately
they are all we'll reimbursed. seldom
by the hotels directly, but by tips which
often amount to $500 or $500 month.

expense (though the Government
might lend the money for such a con-
Struction). I repeat that the President
seems a little weary of the subject not
sanguine satisfactory solution, with,
in the term of his administration.
The greater part of the message of
ten thousand words consists of general
observations which I have not thought
1t desirable to attempt to summarize.
On December l. Comdr. Byrd sailed
from Dunedin, New Zealand, in the
City of New York, for his base in King
Edward VII Land on the Bay of Wales,
Ross Sea.
The British Empire.-A council of
state has been appointed to act for the
King until he is sufficiently recovered
to attend to business of state, to con-
sist of Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales,
the Duke of York, the lord chancellor
uord Halls HAM. the prime minister
and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The King signed the commission. The
crown was similarly put in commits
sion" during the Kings absence from
the realm on cruise for several weeks
after his illness in 1925.
On November 30 DR.. Cosmo Gordon
Lang took the oath as Archbishop of
Canterbury-the "ninety-seventh sue
! ceSSor of ST., Augustine" The new
archbishop signs himself Cosmos Can
tuar."
Italy.-Yesterday December 8, the
italian Parliament was dissolved, the
last under the old system of representa-
tlon. The new cooperative, nom
POLITICAL chamber will be chosen March
21 next. The Fascist corporations will
propose a list OF candidates. The Fas-
ciSt grand council will then make up
list of 400, partly from the list men
toned. partly from nominees of their
own, and present this list to the peo-
pie, who may take 1t or leave 1t, but
there will be no other candidates No
doubt, they will take it. A wonderful
system, very suitable to free people.

Bulgaria.-The how-dye-do in Bull
garia seems to have petered out: fan
tastic olio of mendacity. rhodomontade
and Stiffness, though the precise facts
are not to be ascertained. 1t seems
fairly certain that the reports alleging
that Mikhailov, the Macedonian chief,
was marching on Sofia to punish those
opposed to the activities of the Mace
DOMAIN revolutionary organization, were
whoppers of the first class. Moreover,
we are assured that the factional feuds
of the Macedonians cat their worst
monstrouSly exaggerated in report) have
been composed, and all is harmony
among those pleasant people. And not
only that. but that the demands of the
Imro Macedonian revolutionary or
ganization) are mild and reasonable
enough in all conscience: they would be
satisfied by an effective guarantee by
the League of Nations of exact fulfill
ment by Jugoslavia and Greece of the
clauses of the treaty of Neuilly relating
to their Macedonian minorities. AS to
these latter assurances, our attitude is
Missourian. but we devoutly hope it is
so. The other dav bonds of Bulgarian
foreign loan under League of Nation
auspices l$27.000.000) we're placed on
the world markets (chiefiy London.
New York, Paris and Amsterdam) and
some do be saying that the lies (of
bolshevist origin) were fioated to preju- |
dice the loan.

principle of self help. 'The Govern

should be created. empowered to advise
producers associations in establishing
central agencies or stabilization corpor-
ations to handle surpluses, to seek more
economical means of merchandising
and to aid the producer in securing re-
turns according to the quality of his
product. A revolving loan fund should
be provided for the necessary financing
until these agencies shall have devel-
oped means of financing their opera
tions through regularly constituted
credit institutions"
The above seems to be in agreement
with the views expressed by Mr.. Hoover.

TN Erewhon people were sent
to Jail for eating the wrong
food
1t is a mythical country which
a man named Samuel Butler
wrote about.
"This is what gathered (says
Samuel ButIer). That in that
country, If a man falls into III
health or catches any disorder,
or fails bodily before he is 70
years old, he is tried before a
jury of his countrymen, and it
convicted is held up to public
scorn and sentenced to jail.
But il a man forges a
cheque, or sets a house on fire,
or does any other such things
as are criminal in our country,
he is either taken to a hospital
and most carefully tended at the
public expense, or, il he is in
GOOD circumstances, he let's it
be known to all his friends that
he is suffering from a severe fit
Of immortality, just as we do
when we are i'll; and they come
and visit him with great solicit
tude, and inquire with interest
how it all came about, what
symptoms first showed them
selves, etc.-questions which he
will answer with perfect un-
reserve"
Butler says he visited court
in Erewhon, and saw prisoners
being sentenced for eating inn
properly and otherwise iniurinu
their health. To one hardened
criminal the Judge said:
"Prisoner at the bar, you have
been accused Of the great crime
of iaboring under. pulmonary

found guilty. This is

troversy during Queen Marle's tour of
the United States in 1926, died today
Of pneumonia.
Death followed Today illness.
Pneumonia was preceded by auto

Half a dozen physicians worked In
relays night and day administering
oxygen, but her life ebbed out as the
new year came in.
Miss Fuller was active until stricken
with her school Of dancing. She
moved to n hotel several months ago
from he~ villa ~ %ouijly, where Queen
Marie often visited her.
I.nie Fuller Was born on a farm near
Chicago and came 10 Paris after tri-
umphs in America. She began her
stage career in the Academy Of Music
Chicago, in child parts and later be
came a soubrette. Invention Of the
"scrpentine" dance won her fame as
dansunse.
Miss Fuller met Queen Marie Of Ru.
mania in Paris A generation ago. In
Paris she continued her innovations in
spectacular dancing with scores ~

closest % friends for many years. the

these destructive forces will not pre-
