They are Filipinos — the latest addition to America’s melting pot and the one that appears least likely to melt. In the wave of immigration that preceded the Philippine indepen- dence act, the new arrivals were virtually all men. Now that the bars have been clamped down there is no way for them to obtain brides from among their own peo- ple. Few American girls have mar- ried them, nor is there much min- gling with Mexicans, Chinese or other racial groups. The men sim- ply remain single. The U. S. immigration service estimates that 97 per cent of the (Filipinos now in the country are males, averaging 30 years of age. |To permit them to go back to a normal life among their own peo- ple, Congress voted free transpor- tation to the islands but so far only 1900 have taken advantage of it. The offer expires next De- cember 31. “We think our people should go home, but the movement will re- quire time and careful arrange- |ments” says Dr. Hilario C. Mon- |cado, President of the Filipino Fed- |eration of America. “Filipinos are a proud people. The boys do not jwant to go back without money |or without assurance they will earn la living. | Edward W. Cahill, district im- |migration commissioner, who has {made a close study of the Filipino problem, finds that 65 per cent en- gage in farm labor, while those in ciites work as houseboys, elevator operators, janitors, etc. Their earn- | ings are small but few go on relief. | They are Malay in race, Christian in religion. Even their own leaders concede that Filipinos spend their money | largely on ‘“clothes, gambling and | women.” Their natty attire is pro- verbial in California, which con-| tains about half the nation’s Fili-| pino population. Taxi dance halls employing white girls and gam-| bling houses are allowed to run| wide open in some awn(-ul(ura]“ areas that feed Filipino labor. Sehools No | i s Now Teaching How To Ewing It CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—Chicago pub- lic school authorities have decided to include dancing in the high school curriculum as a means of making the boys and girls more sociable. Superintendent William H. Johp« son issued a bulletin saying the ins~ truction should develop the social |graces and destroy self-conscious- | ness. The lessons start with pupils pair- |ed into couples marching to music. |Next come the simple dance steps and instruction in etiquette. Jobless Solution " Give Him Problem WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Repre- | sentative Stefan (Republican), Ne- | braska, who recently called on in- | vestors to think up something 'to solve unemployment—sought a solu- | tion recently of what to do with the solutions. “Every mail,” he said, “brings in a new pack. I'm getting so many that my head is spinning like a perpetual machine.” Some of the suggestions: From Sharon, Mass.—“We should play less golf' and do more work.” Olathe, Kan. — grasshopper catcher will solve i Chicago—“Market my self-locking na”, Ypsilanti, Mich.—“Abolish the in- ventor and his labor-saving de- vices.” Didn't Like Hat, So He Beat Her CHICAGO, Sept. 22. — Clare {Knapp, pretty twenty-seven-year- old nurse, asked a divorce today because her husband, Robert Knapp, a salesman, beat her.

MANILA, PI, Sept. 22—One of the most remarkable growths in missionary work anywhere in the world during recent years has been the growth of Methodist service in the Philippine Islands.

The After-Dinner Cup of Coffee — | By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE | AP Feature Service Writer The demi-tasse, formerly asso- ciated only with the most formal | households, is an increasingly popu- | lar feature of smart dinners and | luncheons in less pretentious homesn Call it demi-tasse, cafe noir, or | just plain after-dinner coffee, tha clear, steaming brew provides a delightful final touch to the meal. The custom of drinking black coffee after dinner started years | ago when dinners had little regard for food balance or dietetic value. Coffee was sipped in those days to | aid digestion. | Now we are less concerned with the dietetic virtues of black coffee but it is valued as a spohisticated help to sociability. For the demi- e follow your regular method for making cl flavorful coffee. But make it strong- er than your breakfast brew. If you ordinarily use one rounding tablespoon of coffee to a cup of water, for example, increase is to one and a half tablespoons to & cup of water. Serve the demi-tasse at the con- clusion of the meal, either at the table or where the guests will gather when they leave the dining room. The well - appointed after-dinner coffee tray will contain: dainty, small cups, after-dinner coffee spoons, the coffee pot,asmall sugar bowl with tongs and a small pitcher of cream. Ordinarily, the demi-tasse is serv- ed without sugar or cream. ' But some people prefer a little sweet- ening and cream so, for courtesy's sake, it is best to provide them. If you like, you may serve a small confection with the demi- tasse. Assorted cream patties, fondant covered with nuts, candied fruits, small chocolate-coated can- dies, candied ginger or salted nuts are all suitable. Very fresh choco- late - covered creamy peppermints are also quite refreshing. Here is a recipe for mocha mint patties: Follow usual directior for mak- ing fondant, substituting very strnog black coffee for water in re- cipe. To make the Mocha Mint Patties: melt the ripened fondant over hot water. Take from fire and flavor with few drops of pep-| permint. Stir in two tablespoons | powdered sugar for every cup of | fondant. Drop from tip of the spoon onto a flat surface covered with waxed paper. When mints are {firm, dip each one, with fingers, halfway into melted confectioner’s chocolate (kept warm over hot water). Lift onto waxed paper. W hat Is Your News I. Q.?
