Moros May Aid U. 5.
In Driving japanese
From Philippines
Toughest Warriors Army
Fought in Insurrection
Expected to Be Allies

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, Sunday, Dec. 21.-Bolo-
swinging Moros, the toughest war
riors encountered by Americans in
the Philippine Insurrection at the
turn of the century. may now throw
in their lot with the defenders Of
this island archipelago. it was be-
lieved today.
Moro leaders have expressed de-
sire to organize their followers for
fight to the death against the jap
anese and the war drums are throb-
bing through the wild hinterland
inhabited by these fierce tribesmen.
There are thousands of these
Moros on Mindanao Island, and
now that the Japanese have landed
there in force they are expected to
aid the United States Army in fight
ing the invaders, whom they hate.
Fighting Qualities Well Known.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur well
knows the fighting qualities OF the
Moros.
His father, Gen. Arthur MacAr-
thur, the first American military
governor of the Philippines. was the
first American to fight them during
the insurrection.
The Moros charged entrenched
positions of the senior MacArthur's s
troops. using only bolos for weapons.
Spurred by fanatical zeal. they
stormed through veritable halls of
bullets to reach the American posi-
tions and swing with deadly effect
their razor sharp knives. before
dropping dead themselves with
scores of bullets in their tough
bodies.
On the basis Of the Moros' feats
in that conflict, the United States
Army increased the caliber of its
rifles because those used then failed
to halt the tribesmen.
Hate All Christians.
Since the insurrection Moro "Jura-
mentados" have slashed to death
hundreds of consta bularymen in the
belief that bv Staying a Christian
they then will reach the Moham-
medan heaven.
Before the japanese invasion
Army authorities believed the Moros
would use the same tactics in dis
posing of any japanese invaders
The stout morale of all Filipinos OF
every class and tribe since the start
| of the conflict and the anxiety OF
| Moro leaders get into the fight has
strengthened that belief.

/ hater-any Christian-and to them
/ Shintoist and Buddhist japanese

Motor Corps Course.
Some 200 volunteers have ap-
piled for the Red Cross Motor
Corps course since the outbreak
of war, and so of these have been
placed in classes. All local demands
for volunteers trained in motor me-
chanics and driving have been
filled, and after the first of the
year this course will be given as
needed.
Because OF a scarcity of instruc-
tors, courses in canteen and nutri-
ton will not be given on a large
scale by the Red Cross until after
the first of the year, but there won't
be any scarcity of students. Some
1000 have applied for this instruc-
ton since December 8. and Sc
classes will be organized in JAN

by the commanders of the Spanish
Army in Spain and Morocco.
There seems no reason to hope
that these commanders would do
anything to stop the Germans from
coming through Spain. but there can
be no certainty on the part of the
Germans OF active cooperation and
independent action by the Spanish
to aid in such drive.
II the Germans reach the Medi-
terranean coast of Spain-and this
they can probably do with a COM
paratively small force-their prob
lem is then one of crossing the
Straits of Gibraltar into Spanish
Morocco, and there establishing a
force which will be able to invade
or overawe French Morocco. This
will be, initially, matter of using
air. borne troops. Later on, naval
forces may be employed. since the
British Fleet may have to withdraw
from Gibraltar.
Time will be of the essence, and
If allied counter are in
preparation, good deal will turn on
the question Of the degree of active
cooperation which the Germans
can get from the garrison OF
Spanish Morocco. Possession by the
Germans Of the cruisers, destroyers
and submarines of the Spanish
fleet might eventually help them
though most of the ships would
need reconditioning
The French fleet might also be q
factor If the Germans could gel
hold of it, 1t might be used to cover
troop movement from Sicily into
Tunis. but the actual disposition OF
its officers and men remains uncer-
tain if they were faced with a de-
mand to 60 out and fight the
British.
The real question is one of bases
and local conditions or even per-
sonalities might very well determine
whether French North Africa be-
comes German stronghold OF
whether an alternate base to Glib
raltar might be obtained by the
Allies at some point on this coast
Any German move into Spair

be called poor. Even feeble. Frank
ly, it seems to us that women would
like to find black and white specta-
tors in the picture-but maybe we're
wrong.
Dark shoes for town wear are be-
ing featured in black, brown and
navy, but we're not too optimistic
about their acceptance. New York
goes in strongly for dark summer
accessories, but there's that old
whiting temperature to consider here.
Dark summer suedes really are
snappy. however, and very smart
with sheer dresses and big cool
looking dark hats. Also inter-
esting is an innovation In fabric
known as cotton crochet, a dark
colored mesh shoe which Is cool,
comfortable and extremely smart
with cotton clothes-or with any
others for that matter.
Pumps and sandals. are the fea-
tured styles. needless to say. and the
d'orsay type of pump is very popu-
lar. This year they're cut down on
the sides to the sole, and are very
fiattering. Open toes are still
carrying on, and there are a num-
ber of open-back shoes to. be found,
particularly in the high styled"
models.
Speaking of dramatic shoes, the
manufacturers are advocating any
color as long as it's red. The fam
ing shades are very popular and
certainly good looking. especially
with white clothes. Don't be afraid
of red, provided you choose 1t as an
extra" and learn to wear 1t at the
proper times-one of which Is not
downtown on shopping tour. Par
ticularly smart for those occasions
when red is not, are shoes of wheat
linen in combination with tan calf.
and there's also a leaning toward
alligator as an all-year-round ma
terial. It's well done as an accent
to white in summer models.
So. there's the shoe picture, not
particularly startling but, We like
to think, highly satisfactory. 1t
goes without saying that right now
is the time to buy all your summer
shoes, when the stock is at its peak.
Remember that merchandise gets
picked over" very fast-and before
you know it those summer clear

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Girls Should Never Allow Men
Friends to Monopolize Them

get hundreds OF letters from
girls asking how they can make
some man propose who has been
camping on their trails for six
or eight years without ever popping
the question.
They say they know these men
love them because they see the
love light in their eyes, or because
they have always been so kind
and courteous to them. and they
feel it is just because the men
are so shy that they never can
be brought to discuss marriage
licenses and wedding rings. Stuff
and nonsense! No man was ever
yet too shy to ask for the thing
he wanted.
Nor do men who go steady. as the
phrase puts it. with a girl for years
get off scot-free. The boy friend
may have no intention whatever
of marrying her, but she probably
has different views on the subject,
and the betting is ten to one that
before he knows it he finds himself
saying II do" before the preacher.
The girls insistence and public
opinion, which long ago had married
them, bring a pressure that few men
can resist.
And even when the man is astute
enough to escape falling into the pit
of his own digging it makes pretty
mess. For it is hard to tell a girl
to her face that you are tired of her
and it is all over. Finished. Done.
Many men have tried it, and most Of
them have succumbed to the girls
tears and were f1oated to the altar.
Keeping company" for long
stretches of time is bad business
for both girls and boys.

Comfort as We'll Style Distinguish New Summer Shoes
No Two Children Alike
Even Twins Differ in Personality,
So Each Must Live His Own Life

the quick one? Push the slow
one? Try to keep them together
in school and society? Or what?
Most mothers lean backward in
their effort to treat all the chill
dren alike because their needs are
different. Mothers fear that doing
something special for one child.
without balancing it with some
thing equally special for another,
would be partiality, which is q
demon they abnor. 1t is not any
thing of the sort, because, once
more, the child needs what he
needs and not what another wants.
Give each his own as far as pos
sible, and there will be no i'll feel
ing about 1t.
Don't try to keep two sisters,
brother and a sister, or twins,
growing and learning and doing
alike because it cannot be done.
Let the quick one go ahead and
attend to his own business and
give the other one what he needs
and allow him to grow in his own
place in his own fields, SO that each
may become the best sort of per-
son he can possibly be. They will
be as different as any other two
people you know. And why not?
Being children of one family does
not usually make them want the
same things or even allow them to
have the same things. Each must
have his own life.
Twins present this problem Oft
ener than not. One is stronger
than the other, or brighter, or
slower, and these differences make
certain treatment and training the
peculiar need of each. 1t is USE
less, even harmful, to insist that
the twins stay together in every
thing from meals to education. It
cannot be done successfully. Each
must go his own way once he ar
rives in this world, twin or no
twin.
Please don't dress the children
alike unless they ask you TO, and
| then try to have them like their
own taste instead of each others.
When both children, either boys
or girls, are dressed exactly alike,
there is some loss of personality
in each. Clothes have an influence
on the minds of their wearers and
a child who is dressed in another's S
clothes is likely to find his mind
dressed that way, too. Shake them
apart and help each to stand alone
| when IL is necessary
Holding children together because
they are twins, or brothers, or
sisters is likely to make one or
more of them dependent upon the
other. No child should be brought
up to lean that hard on anybody.
Life separates families in whole
some way, and parents should keep
that fact well to the fore in dealing
with their children. Give each his
own, rear each to live his own life
with a decent regard for the rights
and feelings of other people, and
they will do very well.
