j ' i on io Sy Bib AS cd PAGE SIX ROTARY HEARS OF PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE Indian School Head Learned Conditions While Teaching in Insular Schools Life in the Philippines as experi- enced by C. B. Dickinson, superin- tendent of the Indian school here, but shortly after the Spanish-Aner- ican war and the Aguinaldo rebel-ion one of the American teachers sent over to the islands, was described to the Rotary club and guests at to- day’s luncheon. Superintendent Dickinson spoke of his experiences as something to con- vey to his hearers ideas on the sub- ject of Philippine independence. He thought that step was sti far off, especially as the old leaders die off and new ones out of the generations | educated by the American schools come to the fore. The idea of inde- pendence, he suggested, is a hang- over from the old Spanish days in the archipelago. Education was welcomed with open arms, according to Mr. Dickinson. Love of learning, in fact, was made a means of discipline, he said. Stu- dents who misbehaved were suspend- ed. One such case brought about 30 kin to the school early one morning, with presents for the teaching staff. The purpose was to get two sus- pended students reinstated. Superintendent Dickinson said the early administration of William H. Taft, Luke Wright, Henry C. Ives and Dean Worcester was beneficial. The administration of Burton Har- rison, sent in as governor by Presi- dent Wilson, upset the work of the prior administration, he said, by giv- ing the Filipinos free rein, but Gen- eral Wood combated the bad effects and the clamor for independence has died down, he said. He expects the administration of Governor Stimson to keep the islands on their present even keel, he said. Big improvements have come with American occupation, said Superin- tendent Dickinson, in the form of education, roads, bridges, sanitation and government. Sports of all kinds have been adopted, crowding back game cock fighting. But he does not think the Filipino is ready for independence. Judge W. L. Neussle, of the su- preme court, who was chairman of the day’s entertainment, put on a caption writing contest for a prize, the task being to compose a title for a kodak picture of Secretary |* George Bird meditating in a covered wagon, a la Ernest Torrance. communication received from Winnipeg Rotary club, inviting Bis- marck to send one or more delegates to the fifth annual international goodwill conference there, was read.

He had put $5 in his pocket when he shot himself. “I have been married for nearly a@ year without anybody and not a soul knowing anything about it,” the letter read. “Forgive me, mother, and do not listen to oy talk of what other peop say. Hoping you forgive me. I love that is why T am taking her with me.” Although the letter expressed Zimmerman’s regret for the act, it gave no explanation of his motive. RUTH ELDER’S HUSBAND WINS DIVORCE SUIT ‘Don’t Be a Damned Fool,’ Lyle Womack Says, Was Greet- ing After Hop Panama, Dec. 12.—(AP)—An in- terlocutory decree of divorce has been granted Lyle Womack from Ruth Elder, who was rescued by a tanker when she attempted to fly across the Atlantic. The divorce action was instituted in the Canal Zone district court by Womack on September 6th before sailing for the Antarctic with the expedition headed by Commander Richard E. Byrd. In a_ deposition placed before the court Womack’s father said that unhappiness caused by Miss Elder was the main cause of his son’s joining the South Polar expedition, A deposition filed by Womack said that during the last 14 months of the coup'e’s married life his wife had been very cruel to him and paid little attention to him, seeming to be more interested in flyin~ >cross the Atlantic than in retair his love.

For thirty days there was a daily average of 15,000 persons depend- ent upon the Red Cross for suete- nance, shelter and clothing. At the same time a large staff of Red Cross workers and nurses had been sent to Porto Rico, where for several weeks the organization was feeding and clothing more than 400,000 men, women and children.

Referring to his greeting upon Ruth’s return+to the United States after her rescue, Womack said “I embraced and attempted to kiss her, whereupon she replied ‘Don’t be a damned fool.’” He also said that since her flight Ruth had treated him with scorn and indiffercnce, suming a superior attitude and showing neither love nor affection. He stated thet as a result of this treatment he had lost 12 pounds in weight. State Architects Honor Ritterbush eee Robert A.

M., Dec. 12.—(AP)— Stray burros are a greater problem than a dogs in this quaint city, where old Spain mingles with the wild west. Mayor Jim McConvery knows something ought to be done about the problem, but he doesn’t know what that something ought to be. Every night the telephone inter-| rupts the mayor's sleep, and some! indignant citizen informs Mayor Jim enading beneath the bedroom win- dow. The mayor expresses his sym- pathy. for he, too, knows that a raying burro can be a_ nuisance, just like a dingling telephone, ‘dur- ing the hours intended for slumber. The stray burros have been driven out of town. But they have found the way back, for they seem to be fond of the governor’s plaza, where they can nibble leaves off low-hang- ing trees. Once the mayor signed a decree for the execution of the idle burros, but public opinion compelled him to rescind it. “First we had a hard time finding someone without qualms of con- science over taking the life of a there was a storm of protest from the pro-burro faction, which accused us of trying to destroy the town’s most atmospheric asset.” Besides decorating the landscape, burrors.serve only one useful pur- pose in New Mexico.

YOUR automobile is something like a miniature city. There is an eleetric light and power system, a water system, a fuel system. In the new Ford, you will find each of these systems of the latest design and built of the best ma- terials. Every part has been made to serve you faithfally and well and at a minimum of trouble and expense. 3 Take, for example, the gencra- tor—one of the most important parts of the electrical system which supplies the current for lighting and for engine ignition. In the new Ford, the generator is of the power-house type and is distinctive in many features. Ithas been specially designed to prevent most forms of trouble. Oiling is necessary only once a year. About the only thing you need do is to have the charging rate changed as the seasons change. Closely allied to the electrical system is the ignition system. It, too, is of new mechanical design in the new Ford. There is but one high tension cable and that ¢on- nects the coil with the distributor. Even cables from the distributor to the spark plugs have been eliminated. Special care has also been taken to make the distribu- tor water-proof, thus preventing short circuits from rain, ete. The electrical and ignition sys- tems of the new Ford are so simple in design and so carefully made that they will give you surprisingly little trouble. Yet that doesn’t mean they shonld be neglected. Certain little attentions are needed from time to time. The storage battery should be given water and the connections kept clean. The generator charg- ing rate should be changed as in- dicated. Spark plugs should he cleaned at regular intervals. Dis- tributor points should also be kept clean and the distributor cam given a light film of vaseline every 2000 miles. These are just little things, but they mean a great deal to your car. You can have them looked after at very small cost by the Ford dealer when you take the ear in for oiling and greasing. A thorough checkingup at regular intervals will lengthen the life of your car and give you many thousands of miles of care- free, economical motoring.
