Imagine what would happen if the Filipi- nos were now called upon to pay the ordi- nary taxes that the average citizen in this country faces. It would result in economic ruin and return of the country to a highly uncivilized state.
 All Filipino products enter this country duty free now. This even works hardship on American producers of cocoanut oil and sugar who find the competition more than they can stand. What would the Filipinos do if these products were subjected to the same duties as the tariff wall now places on other foreign countries' They couldn't com pete and make living Attorney Villamn suggests that these products, which rank one and two in importance, be superseded by camphor. quinine. coffee, rubber. and fibers which can't be produced here and which naturally would not be sub jected to high tariff rates
 The Philippines have monopoly on Manila hemp. It is produced from the abaca plant species of the banana. It produces the longest and strongest cordage fiber in the world. And the abaca can't be raised any where but in the Philippines. Here is good ground for an economic freedom Only along such lines of development will the is- lands ever achieve what they are now clam bring for. That's why it is significant to see those who are demanding immediate freedom tempering their demands with the priviso that there be period of economic readjustment during which, i've presume. Filipino products will continue to enter the good old U. S. A. duty free.

Although fashion has again deereed larger figures young and old women in particular try every device on the market to reduce their size. to regain their youthful figure There are an enormous number of weight reducing pills. etc. on the market for this purpose. At least they are advertised as such. In reality they are nothing more than fake cures that nine times out of ten do the person taking them more harm than good. It is a very easy matter to ruin ones health by this means It is tremendous task to regain it once the strength is wasted. Dieting and the like should only be indulged in on recommendation of reliable physician. your family one preferred.

Flowing With Propellers

In breaking ground for d new grand stand for the national air races at the Cleve- land airport. an airplane was used to pull the blow. Many spectators wouldn't be- lieve the thing could be done until they saw it. As an engineering feat it was simple enough. A l00-horsepower motor certainly ought to be able to do at least as much pull ing as a two-horsepower team.
 It doubtless made fine picture. Still, we can hardly envision farmers starting right in and hitehng airplane motors to their riding blows. Light. dry soil would be blown over into the next township as fast as it was plowed, There would never be any robins following the furrow. And maybe there are other reasons.

Whereupon he threw himself on the grave and begged the girls father to slay him. The father refused and the young man thereafter wandered the earth, 6 morose and melancholy soul.
 All of which became one of the best sellers-some 25,000 copies being sold in the colonies alone. For many generations. the grave bore the name of the real-life figure, after whose story the book was fashioned. But as the cen turies passed, many things hap pened to the original Trinity churchyard. The name on the stone was changed and q metal plate marked the resting place of "Charlotte Temple" It became one of the most famous graves in all America. One day some ghoul stole the metal marker, leaving slight depression in the stone slab. Here, for many years. sextons of the church left flowers from tho church,

PLEA TO TROOPS

On July 23, 1917, the executive council of the All-Russia Work mems and Soldiers and Peasants organizations issued proclama- ton to the Russian troops urging them to "save the fatherland." The proclamation read in part
 Fellow soldiers One of our armies has wavered, it's regiments have fled before the enemy. Who is responsible for this humilia- ton? The responsibility rests with those who have spread discord ip the army and shaken its discipline. with those who at a time of dan- ger disobeyed the military com mands and wasted time in fruit less discussions and disputes.
 Enough of words. The time has come to act without hesitation. We have acknowledged the pro- visional government. With the government lies the salvation or the revolution. We have ac- knowledged it's unlimited authorf- ty and unlimited power. Its com mands must be law.
 Fellow soldiers: You are being watched by those who work for Russia and by the whole world. The ruin of the Russian revolution spells ruin for all. Summon up all your manhood, your perseverance and sense of discipline and save the father1and."

into the Bicentennial during a hot summer is no more remarkable than his career.
 He was born in Pekin, H., and was working in brush factory at San Francisco when eight years old for $1.25 a week. He never went to school, but has read greedily since his mother taught him how. He was bookkeeper in that brush factory at II. its super intendent at 13, treasurer of the ater at IS, building his first theater in San Francisco--at IT and starting on a tour around the world at 19. Twenty years old and he had been nut in charge of con- struction of the famous midway at the Chicago World fair. He super vised the midway with it's dazzling attractions through 1893. He went into the music business and owned 80 stores over the country before he sold out. But real estate and construction attracted him most and he became millionaire. He retired from business in 1920 at the age of 50 and the people up toward 125th street in New York City began to elect him to Con- gress. Money, Sol Bloom says. is only good for the independence 1t gives you.

The Useless Dime

Not long ago we were talking about aboishing the nickel. There didn't seem to be any use for it. Things which had cost five cents went up to TO- and the nickel became only dead weight in the purse. But times change and coffee. milk. and lot of foods and other articles in restaurants and stores are now five cents again. It IS the dimes turn to be regarded as nuisance. A cigar store clerk in New York city. it is said. never gives dime to d customer in change. but always two niekels. One of his patrons was so pleased with the practice that be wrote to the Times urging a move ment to have the dime discontinued.
 The dime is the smallest coin we have, he points out. It is too small to handle conveniently with larger coins in the same pocket. It is easily lost and, because it is SO small wears d hole in it's owners pocket sooner than and other coin. It has no pur- pose in life and should be forthwith abol- ished Let us not be hasty. Learn from the nickel. which came back, Better times will come, and the dime again will be in demand.

According to the New Haven Journal Courier the postal authorities are no longer going to pay any attention to mail which has freak addresses such as symbols, abbre- vations weird signs. etc, supposed to repre- sent the addressee. However. we only read the other day of such missive being deliv- cred to d Connecticut town and being deliv- cred correctly. although there was only the name of the town, state, and the picture of dog. We wish the postal authorities would make this mandate universal. If they are going to enforce it at all. The sooner all such mail is consigned to the dead letter office the sooner the senders will desist their time wasting habit

New York.-The sextons of old Trinity church, In lower Broadway, will tell you of white haired pill grims who still come to ask about the fiat stone slab that marks the grave of Charlotte Temple"
 Their number decreases each year. America has just about for gotten the most sentimentaly tragic and wistfully romantic heroine of its early days. Hers was a story generation after the Revolutionary War. The grave stone was once one of the sights of New York. Tourists trips were routed to in- clude 1t in their itinerary. Mill lions of tears have fallen at the recitation of the story.
 To-day, stenographers from Wall street, dressed in gay sum- mer attire. nibble at sandwiches as they stroll through the historic Trinity churchyard. They chatter to each other of over-Sunday TO- mances at the beach; of dance dates and theater invitations from | their boy friends"
 Charlotte Temple" of the old, old tale, knew no such happy mo- ments. Hers was one of those tear-stained lives of the pre- Laura Jean Libby variety.
 The creator of Charlotte" was one Susannah Rowson, of Ply mouth, England, and the book was based on the true story of another girl of very similar name. | The story was that of a beauti- full young English girl who ran off to America with a dashing young army officer. They came to New York without benefit of we'd lock. After a time, due to social and army involvements, the young officer found 1t important to move l his heart-torn sweetheart to Q secluded place in the country There he would visit her from time to time, furnishing money for her support. Meanwhile, too | he had arranged for her to be tu. tored and prepared for the sta. tion of his potential future wife.
 Meanwhile, also, a charming young lady of the Colonial society set had come along as an excellen marital prospect, and poor Char Iotte became more and more neg llected. However, he continued tt send money to her and some kint neighbors, heaping her sad story had become sympathetic ant helped her at time when sh' was in saddest need -- for sh' was about to become a mother.
 Charlotte ultimately found her self alone and penniless and desper ate. She went to her old tutor am , to others, only to be turned ava, from the door. Her old neighbor appealed to her father to forgiv

Stadiums

The stadium originated in Greece about 2,500 years ago. The United States, start ing on this sort of thing only about 50 years ago. already has more stadiums than Greece ever had. And naturally they are larger than any that ancient Greece ever dreamed of. We have several that would have held the entire population of Athens in her days of glory, with room to spare for few Spartans.
 Rome adopted the stadium idea. but in her famous Colsum produced monumental building with shelter from bad weather instead of following the original Greek open air plan of stone seats on horseshoe shaped hillside. As whereas the original sta dium was race course, intended especially for foot races, the Roman stadium was used for gladiator contests and many other spec tacular sports and amusements. While ours as everyone knows are used mostly for foot ball and professional baseball, though lend ing themselves like the old Coliseum to great shows of many kinds. The latest American stadium. built in Cleveland, re- gently celebrated it's opening with heavy weight championship prize fight
 It need surprise no one if. before the sta dium vogue has run its gamut in this ooun- try we have bull fights in them. as Spain and Spanish American countries have done with their adaptations of the old Roman stadium. It is d pity we cannot keep more closely to the Greek idea, of amateur sports and games without brutality or cruelty.

 Washngton--The unprecedented Iy enormous proportions of this 1932 George Washington Bicenten- nial celebration seem to be largely attributable to Sol Bloom and his soul.

GIFT OF LAFAYETTE
(Hartford Times)

On July IA, in comment upon Bastile day, we asked what has be- come of the key to that famous edifice. It was sent to Thomas Paine for transmission to George Washington. Lafayette was the donor of the relic which is pre- served in the main hall at Mt Yer non. Lafayette's letter to Washing ton at the time of the presentation was memorable:
 Give me leave, my dear General, to present you with a picture Of the Bastile, just as 1t looked a few days after I ordered its demolition. with the main key of the fortress of despotism. It is a gift which owe as 6 son to my adopted father, as an aide de camp to my general. as missionary of liberty to It's patrioarch.
 Perhaps it is not without prophetic significance that the "main key to the fortress of des- potism" came to rest in American possession. Our country Is the | worlds strongest citadel of democ- racy. Should liberty fail here, US preservation elsewhere would be indeed precarious.
 As we appreciate the inspira- tional character of Washington character of Washington's life we gain keener realization of how far
 reaching was its influence. It wal his devoted friend and pupil. La
 fayette. who composed the de- lstruction of the Bastile.

Filipino Freedom

Independence for the Philippine Islands is to be one of the major problems of the 72nd congress according to all reports. Ger tainly the islands are getting their fair share of attention from United States sena- tors and representatives just at present. And Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley is con- templstng trip to the Philippines later this summer. His interest in the question Of Filipino independence doesn't seem clear to many Americans who are unfamiliar with these island possessions of ours The Phil ippine Islands are ranked as non-lncor- porated territory under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the De- pertinent of War
 However. there seems to be just shade of anxiety about securing independence among those who were clamorng for i'm mediate freedom not so many months ago. Senator Manuel Ouezon now favors this Immediate freedom provided it includes some plan of economic readjustment extend ing over period of time. This period might well be five. ten. or even fifteen years. Ob- vlously it will be needed if the Filipinos are 10 achieve economic as well as political freedom. Recalling the words of Attorney Vicente Villamin. noted Filipino economist and lawyer who spoke in this city in May. we can only point to the great need of the islands establishing their commercial inde- pendenee before tackling other problems.
 In the first place the filipinos now enjoy as much freedom as do the citizens of the United States The bill of rights means vg eto the Filipino than il does to the av- ersxe citizen of the nation. They are ex- empt from federal taxes. They don't have to spend a cent for national defense nor for diplomatic services They are not affected by the exclusion clause of the immigration sws. Most of their money goes toward the education of the islanders yet that hasn reached such high degree as to cause talk
