AMERICAN FLAG
 IN PHILIPPINES
President QuezOn Sur prised Residents By
 FavOring It

Manila, July 2i-(UP)-A state- ment by President Manuel l.. Que- zon to the New York World -Tele- gram, in which he virtually invited a counter-proposal from congress looking to continuation of the American flag in the Philippine Is- lands, produced immediate bullish- ness today in security markets which had declined steadily during the last few weeks, reaching their lowest levels in two years Monday.
 The stock exchange opened strong, advancing two to three points. Stocks closed as much aS six points upwards.
 Business men were inclined to re- gard President Quezon's intiination as the most optimistic news since the independence law was enacted. National assemblymen said the step was the most diplomatic that could have been taken.
 Best Solution
 Many business men said that a permanent Philippine-American tie- up would be the best solution to the problem, particularly in view of the present gloomy outlook for Asiatic peace. Most business men favor ably regard-d Quezon's viewpoint.
 Political circles, however, were bewildered. Many leading politicians had campaigned on behalf of a pre- vious suggestion by Quezon in which he advocated that the American congress reduce to two or three years the period at the end of which the Philippines will be given their independence instead of delaying until 1945, as contemplated by the Tydings-McDuffy independence act.
 Releases Tension
 The American-oWned newspaper, Manila Bulletin, said:
 The Quezon interview with the New York World Telegram re- leases an economic and political tension which has held the Philip pines down since Quezon launched his early independence scheme"
 President Quezon's earlier sug- gestion had created a sensation and wide discussion in the Philippines. It produced panicky drop in Philip pine stocks and bonds and forced business men and politicians alike to hasty re-appraisal of the prob- able costs and consequences of in- dependence, which had heretofore been viewd as a remote and some. what theoretical contingency.

Prescott said there are many roads
throughout Maryland that would never
be touched because of the dearth of
funds to execute an adequate program
under that set-up.
1t was asserted by Prescott that he
intends in no way to bring about the
establishment of chain gangs or prison
camps as in many States that use
convict labor on roads.
Only Use TRUSTEES"
He said his idea is to use only those
prisoners picked by penal authorities
as TRUSTEES" Between 900 and 800
such men are Immediately available,
Prescott added.
The Senator declared he has learned
upon investigation that between 200
and 300 TRUSTEES" work each day on
the State penal farm without any
guards whatever and only men have
escaped during the institutions history.
The need for adoption of such plan
was clearly illustrated, according to
Prescott, in the recent report of the
commission appointed by Gov. Harry

Maryland prisons
1t was set forth in the commissions

them, are unemployed and are anxious

DUST IS DECLARED
NOT DANGEROUS
Oklahoma Health Commits
sioner, However, Warns
Against Breathing Sand.

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, February l8.-
Don't worry about duststorms affect
ing your health-just keep calm, relax
and stay inside, Oklahoma's health
commissioner advised today.
We've analyzed dust" declared
DR.. C. M. Pearce. There isn't any
thing in it that would hurt you. Why.
there isn't even enough silica to cause
silicosis."
But breathing sand is different.
That, he said, is dangerous.
Harsh sand particles irritate the
tissue" he asserted, producing me-
chanical pneumonia commonly called
dust pneumonia
Only in areas subjected to extreme
"black billiards." said DR.. Pearce,
are the blowing sand particles of suffi-
cient size to induce intense enough
tissue friction to cause mechanical
pneumonia" Dust would be unlikely
to cause it, he added, unless an ex-
tremely large quantity was taken into
the lungs.
Danger Is MinimiZed.
"The danger is not as great as many
people think" he declared
He recommended dust masks for
persons living in areas heavily ridden
by busters. Dampened hankerchiefs
would aid in keeping more comfort
able persons living where the swirling
dust is not so severe
For children, especially those living
where dense clouds of blowing soil
strike. DR.. Pearce advised tightly
closed rooms. He explained their
tissues are more sensitive, and use
of dust masks was not adaptable to
them.
His parting advice:
Stay at home. Don't run around
In the dust. There's nothing to worry
about"

no signs of an early rain, but winds
over the Southwest may subside some
what today.
