FILIPINO FREEDOM
BASED ON ECONOMICS

Washington.-The products of Fill
pino labor, the cheapest in the world,
are admitted to the United States
duty free, and this fact is behind the
present outburst for freedom for the
Philippines.
Ever since these islands were taken
over by the United States as result
OF the Spanish-American War, little
attention was given pleas for free
dom. Filipino commodities, however,
have become factor and many citi-
zens are discovering that the Filipinos
are competent to govern themselves.

what is credited with being the
first scientific investigation regard
ing the earth's age. His researches
dealt with the increases of salt
in the oceans. washed into 1t by
the rivers without cessation. While
the circula tons, based upon the
steady increase of the salinity or
"saltiness" of the oceans, are nee
essarily not such as to lead to
precise results, they indicate
that the earth's age must be many
hundreds of millions of years.
Consider next the rate at which
surface soil is washed away by the
rain. The surface of the earth Is
undergoing a levelling process, be-
ing washed down from higher to
lower levels. 1t is estimated that
the present rate of denudation or
washing away OF surface soil is
one foot in 5000 years for Great
Britain, one foot in $500 years for

Now if we estimate that geo.
logical strata have been deposited
at the average rate of only one
foot every thousand years. the
total $4,000 feet of strata, as
given in the above table, would
require 529,OO0,0OO years for their
deposition. Thus the age of the
earth may he roughly estimated

A PROBLEM of perennial in
n terest, absorbing no less to the
astronomer and the physicist than
to the geo1ogist, is the age OF the
earth. Although the earth Is an
almost infinitesinal fragment OF
the cosmos, 1t Is the scene OF mans
activities, and consequently OF
prime importance to the human
race. If we learn the age of the
earth, we may gain valuable In
formation regarding the age of the
other heavenly bodies and perhaps
concerning the origin OF worlds
in terms of the time element.
Science is form of exploration
into the unknown regions OF ma

the time for each of these strata
