2ND MISSION COMES FROM PHILIPPINES Body Headed by Senate Presi- dent Quezon Reiterates De- mand for Independence. That the Filipino people are in earn- est in their demand for immediate in- dependence is indicated by the coming . to the United States of a second Philip- - pine mission to work for independence. Colncident with this announcement the ‘War Department received a cable from Manila stating that the all-Filipino leg- islature had adopted resolutions re- iterating its plea for immediate inde- pendence, 3 The second mission, like the first, is composed of the leading men of the is- lands and will work in the United States not only for immediate inde- pendence, but also to bring about “bet- ter understanding, greater confidence and closer economic relations between the United States and the Philippines.” The mission is again headed by Man- wel L. Quezon, president of the Philip- pine Senate, who is well known in America, having been fo. six years res- ident commissioner to the United Senate President Manuel L. Quezon. States. Mr. Quezon and the Hon. Ser- gle Osmena, Speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives and Vice President of the Council of State, are the leaders of the Naclonalista party, ‘which has been !n power since 1907. ‘While Speaker Osmena is not so well known In the United States as Quezon, Re is considered one of the ablest men n the islands. Senate President Que- ,zom recently referred to Osmena as “the greatest Filipino since Rizal.” t The personal relations between Os- mena and Quezon are probably without a parallel in modern politics. They have been the leading political figures in the islands for 12 years, yet there has never been the slightest indication of rivalry between them. Throughout thelr college life as well as their long political service each has refused to he a candidate for any position that the other aspired to. During the years Quezon was thej Philippine delegate in the American Congress he won the esteem and con- fidence of both the Republican and Democratic sides of the clumber. Whenever he spoke he was assured of | 2 good attendance. One of the official short hand reporters once declared Quezon used the purest English of any member of the House, Osmena, &s president of the Nacion-| alista party, is the leader of the na- tional movement for independence. “QOsmena is the premier ‘de facto’ of the Philippines,” said a leading Filipi- Speaker Sergio Osmena. -po Journalist, now in America. “A wery conscientious and tireless worker, thorough and persistent, a genius for grasping the big features as well as " the smallest details of public affairs, -ROAD - BUILDING DRAINAGE IS BIG ESSENTIAL Chief Requirement of Good Earth Road |s Drainage—Keep Crown Properly Dragged. l It can be truthfully sald that drain- age is the chief essential in putting earth roads into proper condition. An old Scotchman,.an expert road builder, ['aptly said that the three requirements of good earth roads are drainage, more drainage, and still more drainage. The roads must not only have good surface drainage but must also have good un- der drainage. Surface dralnage is se- cured’ by proper grading, adequate side ditches, and by keeping the crown of the road properly dragged. Stretches of road that do mot dry out quickly must be under-drained by tile. The drag must be used after each rain, if the best results are to be se- cured. Don’t go on the road while too muddy, let it dry out slightly; it should be wet enough, however, so it will not Several of the Grain Belt States An- nually Expend Over $3,000,000 in Constructing and Maintaining Roads, Bridges and Culverts. crumble, but smear. When properly used, the drag brings a thin layer of earth toward the center of the road which is rolled and packed between the wet periods. If too much crown is secured by dragging, the angle of the drag should be reversed. Getting the earth roads graded, ditches open, well drained, and prop- erly crowned by dragging is about all that can be dor~ until the people are ready to surface the road with gravel, broken stone or some other surfacing material. GREAT 1920 ROAD PROGRAM Necessary for Many States to Post- pone Expenditure of Federal Funds for Building. £ David F. Houston, secretary of agri- culture, In his annual report, calls at- tention to the fact that the 1919 pro- gram for federal ald road building 1is greater than any previous apnual road-building accomplishment in this country. It is so great, in faet, that it undoubtedly will be necessary for many of the states to postpone until 1920 the expenditure of the federal funds, because of the necessity of de- veloping experienced contracting and engineering organizations from the stagnant conditions brought about by the war. Under the terms of the fed- eral aid road act, the apportionment to a state for any one fiscal year re mains available for expenditure until the close of the succeeding year. It is estimated that funds already pro- vided will be sufficient to finance next year a program more than four times greater than any that has ever been undertaken. GOOD MARKET IS REQUISITE Prime Essential for Successful Diversl- fied Farming—Bad Roads Are Drawback. Farmers sooner or later learn the de- sirability of diversitied farming, Per- haps no cause limits farming of this | description so much as bad roads, for the prime requisite for successful di- versified farming is a good market. This market may be either a nearby itown or a city, or a distant market which requires railroad transporta- tion. ADVANTAGE TO AGRICULTURE Time Saved in Hauling Over Improved. Roads Really Reduces Cost of Transportation. One of the great advantages of im- proved roads to agriculture Is the time; saved in hauling, which in° reality’ amounts to a reduction in transporta- tion costs. BIGGER TAXES ON BAD RQAD Lost Time and Labor on Pdor High- ways Will More Than Build and eool headed, quiet by temperament and eduocation, a deep thinker, an eloquent speaker, a polished writer, a keen ob- peryer of men—such is Osmena.” Both Osmena and Quezon have been ecomsistent advocates of Philippine in- } dependence, yet when the occasion de- manded it they have never hesitated to «champion the cause of America’s good atentions toward the Filipino people. Maintain Good Road. Some folks object to a good roads |tax. The American farmer pays great- jer taxes on bad roads than he does on the construction and maintenance of good roads. -The time and labor lost on bad roads will more than pay the tax levy to build and support a good road. ISTINCTION in dress is a much- desired and a subtle thing, and two women may achieve it by follow- ing altogether different paths. It de- pends upon knowing how to wear clothes, for one thing. , This is espe- cially true of street dress, where few women choose unusual or daring de- signs. They prefer styles that “are in the mode,” that is, generally accepted. Baut occasionally along comes a genius who can “carry off” an innovation in street dress, to the admiration and envy of her sisters, not to mention their criticism ; for they are apt to call her freakish and her clothes bizarre. The usual and unusual in suits invite comparison in the two pictures shown above. Both are suits altogether pracs tical and the same kinds of materials. are uséd for making them.

Without this bit of headwear much of the Chinese flaver would be lost, but the suit would not pass unnoticed, for it is too clever and original. Still, all one can say ef it is, that it has a plain skirt and a coat that looks like a middy blouse. The big button of braid on top of the hat and the hanging queue of braid at the back bespeak a Chinese inspiration. There are several new style features in the other suit, including pin tucks in tke coat, a wide tuck in the skirt, the felded girdle and big buckle.
