Votes for Filipino Women
A Personal Triumph for Governor-General

Credit for this noteworthy step due the Philippine
Legislature which the the closing days

rests with Governor General Frank Murphy.
Woman suffrage has been debated many years in the
Philippines.
It urged upon the Legislature repeatedly by Governor
General Wood.
General Wood favored it because of the high position occu
pied by in the Philippines compared with women
Of other Oriental countries and because the educational
progress which they had made in the public school system
under American supervision.
It remained however, for Governor General Murphy to
revive the project and its passage triumph

Women eligible to vote under the same provisions
as men, Their increased participation in public life should
have interesting results both nsuar affairs and in Philip
pine relations with the United States.
Throughout the Orient also the effects of this reform
promise to be considerable.

The energy and effectiveness with which District officials
have attacked the complicated problems incident the
stupendous unemployment program of the Civil Works Ad
minsraton indicate that by far the majority of the city
unemployed will be back productive wepaying jobs

The magnitude of the task which falls upon the local
officials in carrying out the stupendous program would per-

But, with the program taking shape just the Dis

Just the contrary is the fact
The organizations in the Chest and those which do not

to the junk market. Most Of
the smaller towns, too, have
their market, usually on fair
day.
In fact, it is such markets
that yield the most fun, the
most color and really let one
have a glimpse into the true
spirit of the country. There is
a picturesque market in Flor
ence, the Mercato Nuovo, and
if one understand Italian there
are plenty of good laughs to be
had as the shoppers and ped
dlers exchange bright repartee.
And there are often bargains,
too, in beautiful pottery, linens,
embroidery and fooled leather.
CaledOnian Market
Caledonian market is a huge
affair, over so acres in the
north of London, DIVIDED into
lanes, with each stall numbered.
But despite this orderliness, the
market is picturesque, mainly
because of the tremendous va
riety of goods displayed there.
OF course, it isn't as colorful as
the flea market, the Marche
aux PuceS, outside the old
Clignancourt Gate of Paris, but
it is a lot of fun. The quick
witted London cockneyS with
their rough and ready repartee,
the barkers, the harmonicas and
concertinas, the jostling, friend
ly crowds all go to give some
thing of the flavor of a Dickens
London, far removed from the
bright lights of the Savoy Grill
or the Embassy. On Mondays
and Thursdays, the Metropoli-
tan cattle market is held there;
it is on Friday that the big open
market is held.

Cinderella Rise

Born in England, she was
brought to America by her

Frost drudged about a Cincin-
natl boarding house and read
Shakespeare as she mopped
the floors and swept the Stodgy
rooms. An actress perceived
the fire of genius in the board
ing house slavey, brought her
East and trained her in the
department of the stage. 1t
was only a question of time
and an engagement. From the
first Sarah Frost's rare voice
and personal loveliness never
failed to enchant.
And Mr.. Sothern. for so
years he trod the boards in
great romantic roles. Until his
death he retained the charm

Mr.. Sothern was born in New

Missouri's Plight

Thousands of millions of
dollars of the peoples money
are being thrown away today
by politicians to pay the
salaries and other expenses of
State and local officials no
longer needed to transact public
business.
Missouri is one of many
States where the very existence
of public education is imperiled
by lack of funds with which
to pay the teachers and the
other operating expenses of the
schools.
A recent report to the Ma
tional Council of State Superin-
tendentS and Commissioners of
Education by DR.. Charles A.
Lee, State superintendent of
education in Missouri, vividly
describes the plight that has
overtaken public education in
that Commonwealth.
More than 1000 rural schools
in Missouri will be compelled to
close long before the school term
ends. Three-fifth of all the high
schools of the State are in the
same predicament. Twelve hun
dred rural teachers are giving
their services free of charge for
from one to three months, in
order to keep schools open.
The number of teachers en-
ployed in Missouri today is 1000
less than were employed in the
school year 1930-31. The salaries
of some teachers have been cut
so per cent below the 1929-3O
level and the average reduction
for the State is 80 per cent.
At a county teachers meeting
in Missouri recently, when the
question was asked of the teach
ers present how many would re-
ceiVe this year a salary of $500,
not one hand was raised in the
affirmative.

Lack of Funds Threatens

and many other States can find
the money with which to pay
the salaries of State and local
officials no longer required. but
they cannot or will not find the
money to pay their teachers a
living wage or to provide every
child in the State with a seat
in a well-equipped public school.
The only remedy for this deS.
perate situation which many
State and local politicians have
thus far offered is an appeal to
the Federal Government for
Federal funds with which to
keep the public schools of their
States open.
The more Federal money these
politicians can get for the sup
port of public schools, the longer
they will be able to delay the
reorganization of their State and
local governments and the elimi-
nation from the public payroll
of hundreds of thousands Of
State, county and local office
holders for whose services there
is no longer any real need.

Loan Limit Near

There is a limit to the mum.
ber of billions which the Fed
eral Government can lend or
give to the States for the sup
port of State activities. If the
Federal Government sh ould
take over tomorrow the support
of public education throughout
the State of Missouri, a dozen
other States of the Union the
day after tomorrow would de-
mand the same assistance.
What the Federal Government
can do is to recommend, for
those States which request it,
competent experts in the art of
government to make a survey
of State and local governments.
Such survey will show how
what Mr.. Roosevelt calls IAN OBJ

built up in the days of the OK
cart" can be reorganized and
simplified to meet the needs of
the people in the days of the

Federal leadership to this end
is probably the most helpful
response President Roosevelt
can make to his fellow citizens
in many States, who are appeal
ing to him to help them keep
open the doors of the public

nation may be given the edu-
cation which is the birthright

Market Places

Market Places
Few of us there are who
have not the desire to 20
shopping directly we reach a
strange place. Some like the
fashionable shops with their
procession of luxury and
beauty. But those of us
who like romance and realism
seek out the market place,
typical of the town in which
we may happen to be. And
often it IS, that such visits
are rewarded by rare finds,
for one never knows just
what has found its way to the
local market, especially If the
market be in an important
city. But even if you do not
discover a treasure, you will
be amply rewarded in the
color, the life, the rich at
mosphere that surrounds a
great market.
A visit to Madrid without a
morning spent at the Rastro,
is a failure, no matter how
many wonderful places you
have seen. The steep road
that leads to this market is
lined with huckSter stands,
but usually there is little of
value to be found there, un-
less one has an extremely
keen eye. But in the Rastro
itself, it is possible to pick up
all sorts of things, Spanish
shawls, peasant embroideries,
fine brass work and cleaning
copper. Much of this has
come from great houses, and
often there are finds that are
amazing. For. of course, that

Death Casts Pail Over Famous Stage Romance
'By EdWin C.. Hill

Moonlight floods the ruined
columns of ancient Luxor on
the Nile. 1t casts radiance upon
the figure of a woman whose
great, dark eyes are gazing
into westward space. Julia
Marlowe, perhaps the greatest
of American actresses, walks in
loneliness, missing the compan-
ionship of that other supreme
artist, her late husband, Ed
ward H. Sothern.
Death cast its pail over one
of the great romances of the
stage when it removed E. H.
Sothern from this life. For
40 years Miss Marlowe's glo-
rious voice gave rich and vivid
life to the lines of Shakespeare.
But it was her that the world
went to see and hear, even
more than to take delight in
the deathless art of the Bard
of Avon.

President Roosevelt is getting

United States to raise up a
Federal leadership for the re-
organization of State and local
governments north, east, south

Unless this reorganization is
soon undertaken by the several

public education will be put in

decrease instead of increase,

but the happiest couples I
happen to know are those
who regard marriage as life
sentence and themselves as
"lifers," not those who think
of it merely as a noble expert
ment.
Keeping a dairy has been a
feminine weakness, ever since
the first cavewoman carved her
secrets on a rock, when her
husband refused to listen to
them. But, very few men have
cared to keep tabs on them
selves.
Some men step out of their
responsibilities as carelessly as
they step out of their house
slippers-and just leave them
around for a woman to pick
up after them.
When love dies, a woman
rushes for a stimulant or a
pulmotor and tries to resusci-
tate it-but a man always
rushes for the nearest exit,
and tries to forget it.
The tragedy of a vain
woman's life is having to admit
that she is no longer young
and charming; the tragedy of
a vain mans life is REFUS-
ING to admit it and thereby
making himself little ridicu-
louS.
