partial canvass of the Soroptimist
Club, which is composed of leading bust
ness and professional women, brought
forth a most interesting and encourage
ing group of ideas.
Clipped short, some of them follow:
The Community Chest has broken
down many old prejudices. 1t has
brought all races and classes to whole
some realization of their responsibilities
toward their fellowmen.
It has educated the public to think
generously in regard to the mental,
moral and physical well being Of the
community.
Because of its efficient organization,
the Chest has increased the sense of re-
sponsibility of those who receive its
benefits.
Then came this excellent summary:
Its benefits to the giver include time
saving; definite amount to charity
easily decided upon: intelligent plan for
giving; ones preferred charities desig-
mated; responsibility placed upon those
who hitherto have shared no RESPONSE
bility; feeling of cooperation In build
ing and maintaining happy as well as
a model community.
Among the Chests benefits to the
recipient are money saved in admins
tration of funds; no time nor money

monthly rather than given in a lump
sum, therefore better administered by
average institutional officers, and the
fostering of better feeling between in

financial aid and the general public.
The old charity idea apparently disap-
pears.
The above, in brief, is an expression
of group of thinking, earning, con-
tributing business women. If the
thought was put forth that the Chest
cannot stop door-to-door begging or al
ways meet the demands of some small
group or individual, it was not put
forth as a criticism, but with a desire
that every human need might be met.

Plan to Show That Regular Airship
Service to That Section Is
Feasible.

Friedrichshafen.- The Graf Yep
pelin will make her first nonstop
flight to South America in August,
according to Capt. Hans Lehman,
second in command of the airship.
The Crafts trip, which will be
one of three in connection with the
Lufthansa, will be made to dem
onstrate that the South American
traffic can stand regular airship
service, and also that airships are
the best means for the transatlan-
tic part of that service. The Graf
will fly direct from Friedrichshafen
to Pernambuco, where the Condor
planes will pick up the mail.
"The halt at Seville last year, as
is known, was made at the request
of interested parties in Spain," Cap
tain Lehman said in referring to
the Crafts May, 1920, trip. "Un-
less there is some special reason
this year, the first trip will be di-
rect to Pernambuco. We probably
shall lay a course over the Bay OF
Biscay, instead of over the Med.
iterranean," he said. "That, OF
course, depends on the prevailing
weather, but that course also would

Jailer's Wife Prevents
Escape of Prisoners

DahlOnega, Ga.-A frail woman
Of forty, branishing a large revOl-
yer, thwarted efforts of three des-
perate prisoners to escape from the
Lumpkin county Jail here recently,
after they had burned and bored
holes through the cell walls
The woman was Mrs. James
Parks, wife of the jailer. She en-
tered the priSen about daybreak and
saw three prisoners saving the
small bars of windows leading TO
the open and freedom.
Mrs. Parks retreated without the
prisoners learning of her presence.
She got a revolver in the office, fear
ing she would not have time to
arouse her husband before the es-
cape was accomplished. She crept
back into the Jail.
Move a step and I'll kill you,

prisoners. One of them glared at
her. She fired over his head. and
all three retreated hastily. The
shot aroused the jailer and his as

Housing Early Pullets
Helps Egg Production

Prof. Willard G. Thompson of the
New Jersey station gives the fol-
lowing sensible advice about get
ting pullets into their laying
houses:
'When the combs Of early
hatched pullets begin TO turn red, it
is time to make the laying houses
ready for them. Then, II moved
into their new quarters promptly,
these birds usually can be depend
ed upon to add to the pouItryman's
income at a time when the hens
are slackening their efforts.
Space for the early-hatched pull
lets can be found in the laying
houses by removing market hens
and culls. and concentrating the
survivors in fewer pens.
pens reserved for the incoming
pullets should be cleaned disinfect-
ed and supplied with litter. Space
may be allotted at the rate of four
square feet a bird and once the
pullets are in their new quarters,
they should be kept confined in the
pens The regular laying ratiOns
are advised for the pullets as they
go into winter quarters"

TELLS TALE OF OCEAN TRAGEDY

born some weeks later, had died
quickly. One day the negro, Fran
co.'s, collapsed on the rocks. Final
ly QuilleZic, a fisherman, endeavOr-
ing to catch some meaty fish in an
improvised boat, was lost in sight
of his comrades, his body, tortured
with scurvy and beri-beri, having
no resistance.
Three were left-Herledan Nine.
BrunOn and Huledut. Nine. Brun-
on seemed only to wait to join her
husband and child in the grave.
The rabbits jumped about, pen
gums stood mournfully on the
rocks and the three survivors
moved about and talked like ghosts,
fearing to eat that same awful food
which brought scurvy. The youth of
young Herdelan probably kept him
the strongest, though the tragedy
showed in his melancholy face.
what did you do when the re-
lief ship finally came?" he was
asked.

Fifty people came ashore. They

Boy Relates How His Ma
rooned Comrades Per-
ished on Island.

Paris.-The transport ChambOrd
of the Messageries Maritimes, ply
ing between islands of the South
Seas and Indian ocean, and as
signed to carry the Madagascar
mail, slipped into Marseilles recent
ly with one of the most tragic
stories of the sea, a story of sew
en- marooned fiSherfolk, one being
a woman, who gave birth to an un-
nourished babe.
Four slow and languishing deaths
were caused by starvation and
scurvy. The three survivors help
lessly awaited the next to 90 when
the long-promised relief ship ar
rived. The infant that perished
counted five in the fatalities.
Youth Tells Story.
The story was told by LIE Merdy
Herdelan, nineteen, Breton youth
from POnt Aven. Three years ago
a Partisan firm established a lob
ster cannery on the tiny island of
st. Paul, one of those isolated, lost
islands in the middle of the Indian
ocean between Australia and Afri-
ca. Sturdy fishermen were brought
from POnt Aven and Concarneau
in Brittany.
At the beginning Of 1880 hard
times hit the cannery and three
months later the company decided
to withdraw its wOrkmen, leaving
seven volunteers to look after the
material and to be taken off later
by relief ship. The band includ-
ed the young Herdelan PullOch, a
machinist; NJ. and Nine BrunOn ;
QuilliZic and Huledut, fishermen,
and a negro, Francois.
Life on the island was good
enough until spring, when the nee
essary food was lacking. Fire had
destroyed or soured most of the
timed goods. The water cOndens-
ing apparatus was out of order and
scurvy attacked the party, which
was existing on penguins' eggs, rab-
bits, birds, shellfish and rainwater
caught in the volcanic craters.
Dies as Comrades Watch.
Pulloch, the machinist. died first,
from scurvy, and was buried in a
shallow grave. Food of rabbit
meat and penguins' eggs soon
caused the end of NJ. BrunOn, whose
wife was Frustrated. Her baby,

tuning up and provisioning for the
return journey are already made
there. OF course, if there is a re-
quest for q stop at Seville, either
on the outward or the return jour
ney. we will stop there"
The mails from Friedrichshafen
to Berlin on the return journey will
be carried by Lufthansa planes.
"The purpose of these trips"
said Captain Lehman. "is to dem
Onstrate again the feasibility of
maintaining regular airship sched-
ules between Europe and South
America. The journeys will also
give opportunity for further aero
nautical observations which should
be of advantage to airship opera
tions in general. The time is in
sight when the airship and airplane
will work together to mutual advan-
tage in speeding up air cOmmunica-
tions."
The trips are also intended as an
effort to place the German Lufthan-
sa air mail service at a greater ad-
vantage in the South American
traffic.

WESTERN BAD MEN LIKED ICE CREAM FRUIT Drink

Gates saved many lives in the
mining camps by fitting out travel
ing drug stores" and sending these
into the gold regions, his grandson
writes. The travelling drug stores"
were wagons filled with drugs and
medicines. There were four of them
and a capable apothecary was in
charge of each. The wagons COW
cred hundreds of miles of territory
Few doctors in the gold regions
were able to compound their own
medicines and they came to rely up
on the travelling drug stores"
Some of the mining camps were
so inaccessible that doctors rarely
visited them. Gates therefore
made up a number of family medi-
cine chests which contained RENE
dies for common complaints and di-
rections for use. These the apothe-
carries left in the camps. Hundreds
Of sick men thus got medical aid
which they would never have re-
ceived had it not been for Gates
wagons.

Federal Authorities Get
Alleged Head of Big
Race Wire Gang.

Detroit-The alleged leader of a
race wire swindling ring which is
said to have taken more than $780,
600 from business men in Detroit
and other midwestern cities during
the past three years, surrendered
to federal authorities in Akron.
Ohio, recently. The suspect is
Clyde w. Reynolds, who is specific
ally charged with $4,000 swindle
against a millionaire Columbus
(Ga.) theater owner
Reynolds is said by federal in
vestigators to have been one of the
leaders of the gang which defraud-
ed Burr Hart, once wealthy Detroit
real estate operator, of $4,000 in
1923.
Victim Kills Self.
The investigators asserted that
Mr.. Hart's losses to this gang in
Akron caused him to kill his wife
and then commit suicide on the
night of September I6, 1923.
The swindlers, who then had
their headquarters in Akron, were
saddled with the blame for the
Hart murder and suicide at the
time by Lieut.. John A. Hoffman of
the homicide squad of the Detroit
police department, who traced
Hart's movements on the day be-
fore his death. Since then post
office inspectors have been tracing
the activities of the gang, but Reyn-
olds is the first to be apprehended.

Gold Rush Druggist Pioneered in
Development of Soda
Connections.

New YOrk.-WhO invented the ice
cream soda? Well, one of the pio-
neers in its development was a plO-
need druggist of the gOld-rush days.
He served a mixture of heavy cream
and fruit juice to the he-men who
flOcked to California in search of
the bright metal. And the forty
miners, who could swallow tumblers-
full of whisky without winking,
liked it.
Justin Gates, Jr., was the drug
gist. He was the first graduate
chemist to arrive in California, his
grandson, Gates Hebbard, writes in
the American Druggist. After the
gold rush had abated little Gates
sold his fruit sirup and cream mix
ture at the state fair at Sacramen-
to. It created a sensation. Years
later the ice cream Soda some

Manila Really Three Cities.
"An American on his first visit to
Manila, picturesque capital of the
Philippines, might have difficulty in
discovering what part his country
has taken in the development of a
city it has held for 80 years. Ma
Mia is really three cities, the Span
ish city, or Intramuros, within the
old stone walls; the native, more
or less Malay, town of nipa palm
shacks, and cascos or wicker-roOfed
native boats; and the modern Amer
lean developments around the two
and along the waterfront
although the Stars and Stripes
wave everywhere, the visiting
American will hear Spanish spoken
almost as frequently as English, and
will see street signs in both Ian
guageS, or Spanish alone. Spanish
and English are each official lam

fic on the streets and railway lines

manner Automobiles are increas-
ing in number, but the native two
wheeled calesa, and the numbering

streets.
In the last few years number
of important engineering works
have been completed. High up in
the Benguet mountains, 1G0 miles
from Manila, a carefully planned
summer capital has been completed
at BaguiO. This truly occidental

Senate Committee to Visit
the Farthest Outpost of
Uncle Sans Domain.

Washington. - The Philippines,
Uncle Sans farthest outpost, will
be the subject of special study by
members of the territories commit
tee of the United States senate this
summer. Tours of the islands and
visits to factories, schools and
homes of the Filipinos will be made
by the visiting senators.
"The Philippine islands cOnsti-
tute the most unusual and the most
distant domain under the American
flag" says a bulletin from Wash
ington Cd. c. headquarters of the
National Geographic society. The
Philippines are American property,
yet they are neither territory, col
Ony nor naval base of the United
States. The FilipinOs have citizen
ship, not American citizenship. but
citizenship in the Philippine is
lands of the United States. In ef-
feet, they have the rights and priv
ileges of the American citizens, al
though they pay no federal taxes,
are exempt from the exclusion pro-
visions of our immigration laws, and
do not pay for defense or diplomat
ic services.
"Nonincorporated Territory"
''If the Philippines were under
British rule, they would probably
be known as a protectOrate. The
department of insular affairs of the
United States War department,
which takes care of matters relat-
ing to the Philippines in this cOun-
try, refers to the dependency as a
'nOnincorporated territory
unlike the residents of Alaska,
Porto Rico, the Hawaiian islands,
the Virgin islands, the Canal zone,
Guam, Samoa, and other scattered
pieces of American territory, the
Filipinos make all their own laws,
have their own qualifications for
voters, their own currency, their
own postage stamps, and even their
own schedule of tariffs.
"Filipino law cannot run counter
to basic American principles, but, in
a general sense, it is true, that
where American statute law does
not specifically include the Philip
pines, the matter is left to Filipino
legislators. Consequently, the pro-

the auditor of the islands are now
appointed by the President of the
United States. American officials

total personnel i'm the Philippine
government.
"The Philippine islands are. as a
group, the most pOpulous unit under
the American flag. New York state,
according to the 1890 census, has
12,5SS, ,0G6 inhabitants. but the Phil
ippines, by 1890 estimate, top this
figure almost 10000. No American
state stretches over as much ter
ritory as the Philippine archipel-
ago, which, if it and the water be
tween were laid on a map of the
United States, would cover a quar-
ter of the area of the country. From
north to south the Philippines eX-
tend a distance equal to that be-
tween New York and Miami. The
land area of the Philippines equals
AriZona's. fifth largest state in the
Union.
In Good Financial Condition.
"In contrast to the Virgin islands
and Porto Rico, each of which is
struggling with peculiar economic
problems, the Philippines are in a
good financial condition. The latest
insular government report shows a
surplus of revenues over expendi-
lures of nearly S40,0000O0. and a
favorable balance of trade of some

Philippine islands by a wide mar
gin. More than 100000 long tons
were shipped, in 1929, almost all of
which was sent TO the United
States, where it may enter tariff
free. Second in Importance is COCO
nut oil, which recently has become
bone of contention among Ameri-
can manufacturers of dairy prod
ucts, who claim the duty-free Phil
ippine product is underwriting their
business.
Most famous of Philippine prod
ucts, however, is manila hemp or
abaca, for the hemp plant of the
Philippines is a species of the ba-
mana family and is not really hemp
at all. Its leaves, and its fruit re-
semble the banana, although it is
filed with black seeds and is not
edible. But it yields the longest
and strongest cordage fiber known.
