THINKS ., SHouL " HOLD PORTO RICO Simon Wolf Believes 'Island Far Better Off Under American Flag. Calling attention to the remark- able growth and development which Porto Rico has enjoyed under the Amerlcan flag, Simon Wolf, retired Washington- attorney and student of world affairs, sees no necessity for making the island an Indepen- dent state. The latest movement to make that Latin possession a _self governing territory prompted Mr. Wolf to set forth yesterday his views of the is- land and its future, gained from a close observation of.its history un- der Am, n control. The United States government, for its own protection, he said, covld not afford to relinguish Porto Rico any more than it could give up the Philippines. » ~ Better Offt Under U. 8. Fiag. Mr. Wolf believes it is for the best interests of the people of Porto Rico themselves that they remain under the generous and helpful guardian- ship of this country, which gives them a voice In their home affairs. The advocates of independence in Porto Rico are not In the majoiity, Mr. Wolf said yesterday, although they keep the question regularly in the foreground. Thirteen years ago Mr. Wolf visited the island and Spent a month in touring every sec- tion-of it. He was deeply impressed by its beauty, its climate and the possibilities for improving it under American control. Tpon his return to thig country he prepared a brief of the island, in which he ‘discussed the then politi- cal aspirations of the natives. Con- ditions today are Identical with those then existing, Mr. Wolf be- lieves. In his paper on Porto Rico he said, in“part: ‘Notes Spirit of Discontent. “Naturally; the moment the Ameri- can becomes domiclled in any com- munity he arouses ia the native & spirit not only of emulation but of sullen opposition; thus"a portion of the Porto Ricans have ignoted the 400 years of suffering and misery they endured under the Spanish rule, and expect, in the short period since Porto Rico became American, equal- ity along all lines. “Some irresponsible Americans, who unfortunately became domiciled in Porto Rico and who for a short pe- riod exercised some official authority, have added very much to this spirit of discontent and clamor for equal political rights, which, of course, under present_conditions, is not for & moment to be thonght of.” Discussing the future possibilities of the island, Mr. Wolf continued: d patience and ed- ucation to confer such a baon republican form of government r- mits. In due time, Whn the result of the school education has become a living and vitalizing factor in the political education of the people, the second and third generations will no doubt vindicate, by their conduct and by their demands, their right of ad- ministering their own affalrs, as Is done in other parts of the United States.” Mr. Wolf regretted that more Americans do not visit Parto Rico when touring. He said the length of the voyage probably is responsible for the fact that a large percentage of_tourists do not go there. When he visited Porto Rico, Mr. ‘Wolf observed that the nd should have a large hostelry tI ‘would at- tract Americans. Such a hotel has since been built, but a resident of the island, writing to Mr. Wolf a few days ago, said the establishment probably would not be open another season. Progress Under U. S. Comtrol To emphasize the progress FPorto Rico has made under American con- trol, Mr. Wolf declared that in_ the short period during which the island has been under the Stars and Stripes | a thousand miles of roads have been built, while little was done toward such improvements in the preceding century of Spanish rule. “In every direction, wherever you g0 on the island, you see the progres- sive tendencies of the people and the wholesome, good feeling that is en- tertained by the great mass of the inhabitants for American institutions and American clvil administration, said Mr. Wolf, referring egain to his visit there. Mr. Wolf said he is not personally acquainted with Gov. Reily, the pres- ent representative of the governme: in Porto Rico, but, from what he has been able to learn, the governor is a “thorough American of the Roosevelt "lpl.r. ‘Wolf's son has been an asso- clate justice of the supreme court of Porto Rico for eighteen years. SALVATION ARMY BANS FRYING PANS FOR POOR Chicago Food Expert Advises End of Distribution in Interest $ of Health. CHICAGO, February 21.—The Salva- tion Army will distribute no more fry- ing pans In Chicago. For many years the frying pan has been the culinary standby of the poor family.. It will be S0 no more—not if the Army can pre- vent it. Brigadler Annie Cowden, ter- ritorial directress for all the organiza- tion's work ambng women and children, has discovered that 35 per cent of Chi- cago's children are undernourished. She took up the matter with Mrs. Ida Balley Allen, national home economics expert, and the death warrant of the frying pan was the result. According to Mrs. Al- len, 50 per cent of all jliness can be traced to improperly prepared food and 10 per cent of all inefficiency is credited to_the sameg cause. Brigadier Cowden, after months of in- wvestigation, agrees with Mrs. Allen that one of the principal causes of malnutrition is the well known frying pan. Brigadier Cowden said the Salvatilon Army through hundreds of slum homes and settlement houses in every part of the world is trying to educate slum mothers in the healthful preparation of foods, that as the 35 per cent of under- nourished _children in Chicago were found equally in the homes the poor, lhal well to do and ‘ven the wealthy, great | ollow morg lnteln:em[ . benefits would cooking. —_— FRIEDMAN CLAN GATHERS FROM FAR AND WIDE Descendants of Pincus Friedman Come From Australia, Even, for Annual Dinner.

"DISTRICTS BECAUSE OF PQOR PAY AND LIVING | . By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February. 37.—The scarcity of physicians in the rural districts of some statea is not due to any shortage in the supply of available doctors, but to economic conditions, gccording to a survey made by the Journal of the Amer- ican Medical Association. Complaint was recently made in Pennsylvania that there was a serious shortage in the number of doctors in that state. The Journal found the shortage offsst by an oversupply in the cities. Penn- sylvania has one doctor for every 768 P‘uple. as compared to one Pphysiel: the country as a whole. Docters, says the Journal's re- port, will not locate in rural dis- tricts where they cannot earn a reasonable ingome, or where living conditions are poor. “It is quite clear,” the Journal says, “that the only way by which physicians can be induced to lo- cate in rural districts Is to make those districts more attractive @laces in which to live, from the professional, social and ecdmomio points of view."” ACTION “UNNECESSARY” Official Publication of Non- Partisan League.

ART STIRRING WEST. NEW YORK, February 27.—The central and western states of the country are undergoing a renaissance in art, Lorado Taft, Chicago sculptor, deglared in an address at memorial A | seFvices for Solon Hannibal Borglum, the New York sculptor, who died last month. Mr. Taft said the greatest material evidence of this movement was that art galleries were “blossoming every- where, not ag cold storage plants for works of art, but as places of in- spiration for the talented.” A message from Jules J. Jusserand, the French ambassador at Washing- ton, read during the rvice called Borglum a “man of rare parts” and paid tribute to his “abjlity to catgh in w remarkable way and perpetuate the U and breathing spirit of things.'
