SEEKING REFUGE IN PHILIP
PINES

The recent outbreak of Eostilities
between Japan and China has caused
many thousands of persons in the
latter country to seek asylum in the
Philippine Islands. The influx of
refugees from China had by the
middle of August, 1887, taxed the
hotel and housing facilities of Manila
to such an extent that an appeal for
funds was made to the public on
August 18th by U. S. High Commits
sioner Paul V. McNutt, President
Quezon and the Red Cross.
The problem, which grows more
serious each day, is not only one of
housing the refugees who can pay
their way, but of actually providing
many of them who have lost all they
possessed, with food, clothes and
shelter.

A. 81 The amount which will be
paid you under the old-age insurance
provision of the Social Security Act
does not depend on the amount of
taxes collected from you or paid by
your employer under Title VIII of
the Social Security Act. The amount
you receive will depend on the total
of your wages earned in covered en-
ployment after December 81, 1886,
and before you become IS years of
age. But the employer who does not
obey the law and report the amount
Of wages paid each employee puts
his employees at a disadvantage be-
cause the Social Security Board will
not have a record of those wages
when it comes time to compute the
amount the Board should pay each

Farmers own more than one-third
of the commercially productive for
est lands in the United States, re-

States Department of Agriculture.
Total farm lands in forest exceed the
acreage planted to any one crop, and
more than 100000 farmers collect
an annual supplemental income from

YOUR ACCIDENT BILL

Accidents account for about 80
per cent of Americas total motoring
costs!
This is the estimate of National
Safety Council statisticians. They
figure that the expense of an average
10O-mile driving trip is $3.50, divid
ed as follows: Gasoline, $3.50; OIL.
20 cents; tires, 10 cents; accidents,
II cents.
The direct cost Of last years &C
cidents, according to the same auth
critics, was $1,64O,O00,000. That
is enough money to build or pave
$4,000 miles of road, at a cost of
$4,000 a mile--or to buy 100000
automobiles worth $1,000 each.
It is statistically impossible to ac-
curately determine the indirect cost
of automobile accidents. But all
experts agree that they are subsanti-
ally greater than even the vast direct
costs.
Here is a gigantic, totally un-
necessary drain on the nations eco
nomic resources. And, bad as that
is, it is nothing compared to the
human waste that the reckless and
incompetent driver causes. In 1885,
traffic accidents killed almost $4,000
human beings. They injured 1,3OOO,-
600 more-of whom large number
will eventually die as a result of the
accidents. Blasted, parentless child
rem, ruined homes-these are but
three Of the consequences of heavy
foot on the throttle, drunk at the
wheel, an incompetent in control OF
a lethal machine weighing thousands
Of pounds.
We are now entering the winter
season, in which the accident rate
has always risen in the past. The
most dangerous driving days are just
ahead, with rain, ice, snow and early
darkness to add to the always-pres-
emit hazards. Yet it is within our
power to revoke precedent, and make
winter q safe season. ALI that il
needed is the cooperation of each
motorist and pedestrian. Do your
part!

The cyclonic disturbances in the
stock market have detracted atten-
ton from business production and
activity indices. A security collapse
that, at the bottom, wiped out values
to the tune Of some $25, 100000, 600
has been far and away the major
domestic occurrence Of 1887. At
this writing, majority Of econom-
lists seem convinced that the worst
Of the debacle is over. A very large
proportion OF margin dealers were
wiped out In the break. AS Bush
ness Week put it, There is a limit
to every downward spiral, and that
limit seems to have been approached
in the present situation"
So far as industrial production is
concerned. there has been a substant-
1al drop-but the drop was nowhere
near as severe as the drop in stocks
In two months, shares as a whole
went down 38 per cent, declining to
the late 1895 level, though not to-
the lows Of 1882. In the same period
business activity dropped q little over
3 per cent.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1887
BUILDERS WITH A NATION

Over forty automobile shows are
scheduled to follow the National
Show that has been held In New
York City. These nationwide shows
are staged for Indiana, Michigan and
Illinois in their area, and more par
ticularly in these shows than any
where else will the car-gaZers realize
that there's our rubber, and the
steel that we have turned out, that's
our glass, our limestone, copper,
lumber and our manufactured pro-
ducts-those cars could never have
been brought to such ideals of per-
lection if it had not been for U.S."
In the East and South other shows
are in the cards, where hundreds of
thousands of people will do the
pointing-with-p at streamlined
motors that are possible because We
supplied the Gotten, paint, lacquers,
textiles, porcelain, coal, chemicals
and divers and various other things.
Then that rich empire beyond Old
Man River-Des Moines, Portland,
Oregon; San Francisco, Los Angeles,
and other great cities, possesses the
conscious conviction that the East
could not make worthwhile cars ex-
cept for the fact that the manufac-
turers come to the productive areas
beyond the Mississippi for silver,
gold, lead, tungsten, nickel, man
ganese, zinc, pumice, wool, petrol
cum, hides, borax, mohair, mercury
and other things. Thus, all parts
Of the nation help to build our
stramlined cars that on account OF
their attractiveness alone draw big
ger crowds than the movies. What
a country we have to supply so many
materials and products to the great
automotive melting-pots.
But that's not the half of it: When
all the big shows are over there will
be thousands of dealers in thousands
of cities, towns, and even at the
crossroads, engaged with perhaps
three-fourths of the entire popula-
ton appraising the worlds best
means of transportation, with father,
mother, and the kids rarin' to go in
"one of them out onto the coun-
try's highways" BY the way, the
United States has two-thirds of all
the Worlds good roads fit for auto
mobile travel.
The highways, too, are bordered
everywhere by different enterprises
that may be counted in the figures
furnished by the United States De-
partment of Commerce to show how
it comes about that one out of every
seven people gainfully employed In
the United States works directly or
indirectly in the automobile industry.

TricI1inOsis! Bane of Pork Eaters Inspires Warning From State Health Depart
 ment.

Cook all pork and pork products thoroughly, the State Department of Health warned in its weekly bulletin. It is the only way to be certain of avoiding trichinosis.
 Pork and pork products come into greater use on the family menu with the advent of colder weather and particularly the hol- iday season, and will present no special health hazard If thorough ly cooked. Only by thorough cook ing can the trichinae, the tiny parasites which invade members of the hog family, be killed. The parasites exist in about two per- cent of all hogs, and there is no way of detecting their presence. Federal meat inspection does not include a microscopic examination of pork for trichinae, as 1t is not possible to detect them in all cas- es by this method and no other method of learning their presence has been devised.
 The trichinae enter the human body when raw or rare pork is eaten. On digestion these para sites grow and multiply, and en- ter the blood stream from which they make their way into the muscles where they continue to grow and cause the symptoms of trichinosis which include severe muscular pains and high fever. So the department warns that pork and pork products should be cooked thoroughly not only on the surface but in the center of the roast as well. Pork that is well done will be white and not red- dish in color. There is no need to have trichinosisl It comes only from raw or rare pork; thorough cooking destroys the cause Of the disease.
 By way of proof, the department cited the following examples:
 In February, 1887 a case was rec ported, a father, mother and one son who ate raw sausage and all had trichinosis. The father who
 
 ate the most raw sausage had the severest attack. The son who ate the least haw sausage had the least severe attack. The second son who ate only cooked sausage had no symptoms at all.
 One patient reports that he frequently eats pork and sausage which he prefers to eat rare. Oc- casionally he chops up meat and eats 1t raw.
 In another instance a family raised and fattened their own pigs and ate raw sausage made from the pork. All four members of the family had trichinosis.
 In another instance persons who ate sufficiently cooked meat from the outside of a ham did not have trichinosis. while persons who ate the red meat near the bone had the disease.
