PHILIPPINE EXPERIMENT.

On November l5, the Philippines will begin it's first attempt at independence. That is the day the Islands will nduct into office it's first President, Manuel Quezon, and the Vice President Sergio Osmena both of whom credited in some sources with being the political leaders of the country for the past 20 years.
 Secretary of War George H. Dern already is in Japan his way to the historic ceremonies and Vice. President John Nance Garner, with a party of 48 Congressmen, has just left Seattle the Presi- dent Grant for the Islands to take part in the ceremony
 Incidentally, with President Roosevelt vaca- tion voyage down around the Panama Canal aboard the warship Houston it is the first time in the history of this nation that both the President and the ice-President have been out of continental United States at the time, leaving the Secre- tary of State, in this instance Cordell Hull act ing head of the Government.
 It will be interesting, and probably successful, experiment this trial by the Philippines at inde- pendence. Until July 4, 1946 they will have super vision of the United States but in fact will attend to their own affairs. Indication that President Quezon is quite a shrewd politician himself, and something of a diplomat, is found in his securing of General Douglas Macarthur former Chief of Staff and whose father formerly Governor General of the Philippines, to build up the countrys system of military defense.

and buys all the garments and trinkets

the ladies are too busy getting articles
ready for sale. and selling them, to
tell of their accomplishments
Still, If you 60 to the Thrift Shop

There is one woman hired to mend
the clothing brought in, and there

IN WORK SET-UP
Mrs. Woodward Announces
They Will Receive Con-
Siderati0n.
BY GRACE HENDRICK EUsTIs.

Employable women now on relief
rolls, who are eligible for work, will
have the same consideration as simi-
larly situated men in the new work.
relief set-up.
This plan was laid before newspaper
women yesterday by Mrs. Ellen S
Woodward, director of the Women's
Division of the F. E. r. A., at Mrs
Roosevelt's press conference.
These women" she said, referring
to those who would fall in this cate
CORY, need have no fear that they will
not be put to work We still think OF
the man as the economic head Of the
family, but women who are in that
position and single women will be
given equal consideration"
viii Cut Relief Rolls.
According to Mrs. Woodward. s.
500, 900 men and women will be taken
off relief rolls and put to work. All
the work-relief projects which have
been proved useful will be continued
and new projects will be started
Among those where women will be
largely employed are. physical recrea-
tion. arts and crafts. drama, special
camps for undernourished children
and underprivileged groups, many art
projects including fine arts, COM
mercial art. art appreciation, preserva-
tion of art, projects to help musicians
and theatrical workers. health pro-
jects, research projects such as
economic surveys, social surveys, his
torical records, projects, revision of tax
assessment projects, emergency home

who 60 in and train housekeepers and
those who take the place of i'll house
keepers, sewing rooms, handicraft.
projects, nutrition projects. historical
markers and road sign projects. library
projects and the national guide book
project.
Many Volumes Restored.
Mrs woodward is particularly in
terested in and proud of these last
two. The library project is one of
the few Federal self-liquidating ex-
periments. Reports from 30 States
show that 2,970.1l2 volumes were re-
stored to circulation as a result of
ook-repair work. These books were
sold for $2,244.771 and the entire
project cost the Government only
1921 800.
Besides the financial advantages of
this project, it has been Of enormous
help to schools and public libraries
whose budgets have been crippled.
Guide Book New Idea.
The national guide book is a new
idea and Mrs. Woodward is delighted
with it. 1t will be assembled and
printed with the European Baedikker
in mind, containing maps and his
torical facts. This project will en-
ploy many different kinds of white
collar workers, editorial writers. un-
employed newspaper writer's. clerical
workers, artists. craftsmen and
authors. The central work will be
done in each State with clearing
house here in Washington.
Mrs. Woodward was not able to
discuss the question of wages for
these new and continued projects. In
the old program, she said, the pre-
vailing wages of the community were
used.
