PILIPPINE NATIVES | [ commwrrree wewen AGTIVE IN CAPITAL " Students and U. S. Employesl and Others Here Form Various Groups. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. More than 400 natives of the Philip- pitie Islands live in Washington, and they make one of the most compact, active and versatile groups of those who have formed clubs after the man- ner of the State societies. Many of these Filipinos are students attending the various colleges =and .“l’i?hl]fl_t‘} schools. Others have completed their | courses and are temporarily employed by the Government in prep: ration of their return to take up work under | the authorities of the isis a surprisingly large number is in practicing law. All of thes asion and have banquets and | and Gancing, card partles being a diversion which the Filipinos have not adopted. Naturally » lm_'gv a| body has broken into groups of sev- | eral societies, the student hodif‘r_; tak- Ing over the name of the university or | school they are attending, and have | officers elected by their classes. i There is a Philivarsiter Club, com- | posed of those studying at the Ameri- can University; the Philippine Colum bians at the National University, the Philippine Georgetownite Hilltop | students and Philippinensians students | At George Washington University, and | all the members unite several times a | vear to give dances and dinners and get together generally after the us- | fomed ways at home. This organiza- | tions, one of the largest and most ac- | tive in the several maintained by the | natives of this insular possession. Is called “The Unified Filipino College Club,” and its frolic last Halloween and a luncheon given last week were highly successful affairs. Filipino Club Active. | The Filipino Club is another branch, | and its president, Dr. Eugenio Fom- | hueno, who is connected with the | Philippine ‘Educational Mission in the | Insular Bureau of the War Depart- | ment, has been zealous in gathering | into its membership not only all resi- | dent students, but maturer men and | women wo are in Washington in pro- | iessional capacities or in the Govern- | ment service. All of these appreciate an_opportunity to meet one another and talk home affairs, hear the latest news from home discussed and to hear familiar music and eat the good things which were their daily diet in the sunny land of the South Seas, but are now rare delicacies. With the well known courtesy for which these people are noted, if there are guests, American dainties are pro- vided, but when only Filipinos are present then a menu of such food as can be obtained here and cooked in the native way is served. And there is splendid musie, every province hav- Ing its own particular favorite airs, and all rendered with inspiring charm. This club meets at call, the Y. M. C. A. being a popular headquarters for conferences and the meetings of com- mittees on arrangements, and the Colonial Hotel for dinners and dances. But the Philippine Judiciary Soclety is the most important of all those formed by the natives of those islands, and it is the youngest in the group, having been organized on November 21 of this year, and holding its first large assembly in the Colonial Hotel on Thanksgiving day. It has, how- ever, been some time in process of formation, and_its sponsors, Alfonso P. Donesa and Jesus Perez, have been carefully considering the purposes for which this legal body is organized. The principal one argues well for the progress of the islands and for a peaceful solution of any problems con- fronting the native law-makers and those of this country, for it is to stim- ulate the study of the laws of both larids and to create a”better under- standing of them. To accomplish this a closer contact is urged between bench and bar, and these Filipino law- vers, all of whom have taken degrees in American schools, and some in thelr own law schools in the islands, intend to bring about a personal meet- ing of members of the bar and the judges with their body and with those Wwho have the task of making laws for their country, like the members of the committee on insular affairs in Sen- ate and House, and those officials of the War and Navy Departments charged with responsibility in the South Pacific, and with their own peo- ple established in Washington or vis- iting the Capital from time to time. Promotes Professions. Another major tenet of this judicial hody’'s charter is to promote profes- sional ambition, especially when stu- lents, who, after a brilllant career in lleges here, return to their own untry. Ultimately this new organi- tion aims to have in the islands law- vers who have learned wisdom at the fountain head and who know famil- farly not only the fundamental law of the land, but also the many regula- tions dnd the legal constructions placed on various provisions. When this has been accomplished the same sort of understanding will exist be- tween this country and its present wards so far away as Great Britain maintains in her distant province: and all differences will be com| wihout those irritating juntas and re Boudoir Mules, in Black Satin and Green Suede— with feather trimming—in contrasting colors. 8.00 and 9.00 Black Satin and Patent Leather Mules—Satin aad Kid lined. 4.00 and 5.00 Men'’s House Slippers— Red and Purple kid, and Patent Leather.

MINE LEADER PROTESTS AGAINST REGULATIONS West Virginia Union Chief Sends Letter to Davis—Believes Indus- try Should Rule Itself. By the Associated Press. MORGANTOWN, W. Va., Decem- ber 11.—Van A. Bittner, chief of the United Mine Workers of West Vir- ginia, protested in a letter to Secre- tary of Labor Davis yesterday against proposed legislation by Congress to regulate the bituminous coal industry and to provide for mediation and con- ciliation. He asked that the letter be transmitted to President Coolidge. Bittner urged that ‘“more influence of the Government” be exercised to require coal operators to carry out present agreements with the union. Speaking of the protest against the proposed legislation flled by the Mo- *nongahela Coal Operators’ Assoclation yesterday, the union leader sald the organization was opposed to regula- tory legislation “because it wants to bring on a strike in the unionized fleld so as to reap the benefits there- from,” He maintained that the United Mine Workers was the only organization which has a stabilizing influence on the coal industry, and said the regula- tory proposals now before Congress would hinder rather than help. The position of the United Mine ‘Workers, Bittner said, has always been that the industry should be regu- iated by the operators and miner: Appreciated Gifts Smart Slippers, Silk Hosiery, Uniqae Buckles i Buckles Cut steel and rhine stones— beautiful 1 designs. 3.00 to 40.00 7 1 HE selection can easily be personalized out of the wealth of our variety of Slippers, and Hose, and Buckles.

FORD HOSPITAL ROW | IS DUE TO SMOKING Use of Cigarettes by Nurses Causes Four to Sever Connections With Institution. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, December 11.—Cigarette smoking among nurses as a moral is- sue was not involved in the contro- versy that led to the resignation or dismissal of two executives and two nurse instructors. of the Henry Ford Hospital here, according to Miss Katherine G. Kimmick, who resigned | | as superintendent of nurses of the in- | | stitution. | Instead, she said vesterday, it was a hospital rule, foraidding smoking anywhere on the hospital grounds.| She tendered her resignation, Miss Kimmick sald, after having been told to reinstate two nurses who had been discovered smoking in the nurses’ home. This, she sald, she refused to do, holding that the morale of the hospital would suffer if infractions of the rule were thus condoned. 1 Miss Emma Jones and Miss Bertha | Bennett, instructors of. nurses, re-| signed with her, Miss Kimmick said. W. L. Graham, whose dismissal as superintendent of the hospital was made known in a brief notice, inform- ing him his services were no longer | required, sald yesterday that so far as | | he knew it was due “just to a differ- ence of opinfon.” His. part in the clgarette-smoking episode appears to have been confined to forwarding a petition from the nursing staff to the | | hospital management asking rein- statement of the two senior nurses Miss Kimmick had ordered discharged | | for smoking. Miss Kimmick, whose home is in Mount Vernon, N. Y., is a graduate of Columbia, and has been a nurse for 20 years. _— NEW ENGLAND GUARDED AGAINST RUM INFLUX| By the Associated Press. BOSTON, December 11.—Govern- ment agencies guarding the gateways of New England have tightened their grip in an effort to choke off the ex- pected flow of liquor intended for use | i| during the coming holidays. In the lonely, snow-clad country to the North, customs officers, rein- forced by immigration men, are pa- trolling the highways leading south- ward from Canada. Along the coast from Eastport, Me., to south of Cape Cod the Coast Guard has flung out a patrol of 51 vessels. ‘This formidable fleet, including 13 cutters and destroyers and 38 patrol boats, apparently has wiped out rum row. This season, for the first tim in years, finds no hovering flotilla of rum runners waiting off the coast to send their cargoes ashore. In recent years half a dozen rum ships, or more, have been anchored in a great arc from Cape Cod to Cape Ann at this time of the year.
