Capiz where he was born January
/, 1892. While Osmena remained in
the palace Mr.. Roxas put his ora
tory to work in an energetic CAM
paign which embraced the whole
archipelago.
The colorful Roxas, recognized
as one of the most brilliant orators
in the islands, had had part in the
Philippine government since 1922. In
that year he was elected member
of the insular house of representa-
tives. He was chosen speaker
short time later and held that post
for IL years. He accompanied sew
eral missions to the United States

Manuel Roxos' Body Returned
To oSorrowing Philippine Capital
Quirino, New Head Of
Government, Rushing
Back to MuniIu
BY the Associoted Press

MANILA, April 16.-The flag
draped body Of Manuel Roxas was
brought back today to this sorrow-
ing capital Of the young Philippines
Republic he served as President.
The capital. stunned by the So
year -old Roxas' unexpected death
from a heart attack at Clark Field
last night, awaited The arrival of
his successor, Vice President Elpidic
Quirino. 81.
Mr.. Quirino, himself ailing anC
under q physicians care for high
blood pressure, was expected to re-
turn by tomorrow morning after
breaking Of q tour Of the Central
Philippines.
Council Session Called.
MIR. Quirino by radio called a ses-
sion of the Council of State, which
consists Of cabinet members, former
President Sergio Osmena and for
mer Justice Jose Yulo. He asked 1t
to meet as soon as he arrives.
Secretary OF Commerce Placido
Mapa told reporters Mr.. Roxas had
been more worried recently by Mr..
Quirino's health than his own.
Thousands of Filipinos thronged
the depot when the funeral train
arrived from Clark Field, United
States air base so miles northwest
Of Manila.
The crowd gasped at the sight OF
the train-a locomotive pulling sew
eral empty freight cars, gasoline
tank car, two third-class carriages
containing the presidential guards
and Mr.. Roxas' air conditioned first
class coach.
Mrs. Roxas lifted the flag over
the body and kissed the forehead OF
her husband.
Body Lies in State.
The body lay in state at Malacanan
Palace, which was closed to all but
members of the family, the cabinet
and close friends.
Government and commercial radio
stations were asked to eliminate
dance music. Business houses
opened. So did the stock exchange
but there was little trading. Every
one awaited announcement Of the
mourning period.
Mr.. Quirino Is strongly pro-
American. as was Mr.. Roxas. He
negotiated the military assistance
pact with the United States, al
though he insisted that all Amer
ican bases be moved away from
Manila.
Although he and Mr.. Roxas
worked together in the majority
Liberal Party, some politicians pre-
dicted the whole cabinet would offer
designations and that some would
be accepted.
Peace and order is the top do
mestic problem facing Mr.. Quirino.
Earlier this week he asked the Phil
ippine Congress for 100000 pesos
(s5, 900, ,000) to intensity the cam
paign against the Hukbalahaps,
armed peasants now in rebellion.
Appeared in Good Health.
Although Mr.. Roxas had suffered
from a heart ailment, he seemed in
good health when he set out yester-
day for Clark Field.
Mr.. Quirino served both in the
Congress and in the cabinet before
the war. When the Japanese came
they imprisoned him in Fort San
tiago. His wife and three of his five
children were bayoneted to death

American lines. Mr.. RoxaS said at
that time that he had accepted q
post in the puppet government In
an attempt to obtain more rice for
the Filipino people and that he re-
signed when he discovered the Jap
anese had stolen several hundred
bags of rice from the supplies.
Directed Spy Ring.
."All the time" he continued, Il
vas directing a guerrilla espionage
ring, sending information to the
Americans and organizing harassing
forces in the interior. OF the IS
men associated with me, only five

In defending his war record later,
he said he surrendered to the
japanese only after he had been
implored by Gen. Wainwright to
do so ito prevent hardships to other
United States troops" and added:
II withstood savage insistence by
the japanese for two years and
only agreed to direct a food or

tim is sick enough to consult doc
tor, the chances for recovery are
extremely poor. In the large and
expensive hospitals mentioned be-
fore where chest x-ray is routine
service they find that about Z per
cent of all patients admitted have
chest pathology. Having all this in
mind and being DESTROYS OF giving
the very best services to all its
patients, the hospital staff decided
to include this in its routine exami-
nation, hence these chest x-rays are
now being made on all patients at
the nominal charge of $1.50 each.

Lexington Hospital
Boon To Section
by DR.. w. H. Weeks

The Holmes County Community
Hospital staff at Lexington, always
interested and anxious to keep alb
reast with the latest and best has
shown the very efficient and CO.
operative Board of Supervisors the
need of enlarging and improving the
hospital building AS result, Holmes
County, in cooperation with the
State and Federal Governments has
provided $4,000 for this purpose.
1t is planned to begin this work
in the near future when the details
can be worked out. This will give
Lexington, not the largest hospital
in the State but one of the best.
This hospital and its management
combines the home atmosphere with
the very latest and best hospital
care.
hn adequate number of nurses
have been secured so that at least
one graduate trained nurse Is on
duty all the time for "a hours each
day.
This hospital has a supply OF
radium and has recently added to
its equipment a new $4,000 x-ray
machine. It is no longer necessary
to leave home and friends to 60 away
to the city among strangers to get
stomach and gall bladder x-rays.
The glassed-in nursery is equipped
with the latest and best incubators
and no doubt number of premature
babies living today owe their lives
to the fact that this equipment was
available.
Another most forward and very
important step included in the ser
vices at the Holmes County Com
munity Hospital is routine chest
x-ray for every patient IL years of
age and above. This is service
rendered usually in the large and
much more expensive hospitals only.
In considering adoption of this rou-
tine chest x-ray one of the staff
doctors said, "lf this plan had been
adopted last year, Mrs. AS condi-
ton would have been discovered"
Then he explained Mrs. A was in
the hospital being treated for some
minor trouble and chest x-ray was
not made - no chest pathology was
suspected. She recovered from her
minor complaint and went home.
In less than a year she had pull
monary hemorrhage which means
Far Advanced tuberculosis. This is
a very strong and impressive re-
minder of the Importance of find
ing Pulmonary tuberculosis in its
early stage and this can be done
only with the x-ray. In this stage

He was "a Gentleman to the the
manor born" All the essential ele-
ments were beautifully blended
within him. He was honest, upright
gentle, generous and brave, and all
these qualities he exercised with a
most gracious outward manner. his
aims were always lofty, his purpose
always noble, his speech always
kindly, his demeanor modest and his
countenance was always SHINING
with sincerity.
So ends a long and beautiful life.
He rests, The world weight OF the
years is past.
No stress of war or pain can tire
him now.
The old time calm of thoughtful
poise,
At last is on his brow.

ing deeds away.

ENDURING INVESTMENTS

DANIEL, winning his point, made
II every hour count toward vic
tory. He not only abstained from
strong drink, but used his superior
strength to serve the king in such
way that his talents were sought
out and brought into larger fields Of
opportunity.
Standing by his convictions, he had
won over those who at first were
disposed to poke fun at him. By
superb performance, due to clear
thinking and high purpose, Daniel
made enduring investments that
paid off in big dividends. He did
not do right for reward, but because
he did right, the reward was newt
able. And so it will be with every
young man and woman who pur-
poses in his or her heart to do right.

DANIEL knew that he was taking

that the consequences would take

needs today in her youth.

down. He asked several other boys
the same question, and got the same
answer. Finally he asked Beecher,
and Beecher gave the same an
