The national companies were the chief hones of contention between the late Governor General Wood and the Filipino political leaders. Governor Stimson has fallen heir to the problems as the result of a decision by Ihe United States su preme court that the insular board of control was illegal. The board was the organization through which the government cor porations were controlled. It. in turn, was controlled by the insu lar legislature, having bee" com posed of the governor general as minority member, the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. General Wood abolished the board In Novefhber, 1926, through an order locally famous as Execu tive Order No. 37. on the ground that the legislature, in creating the board, had assumed powers that belong solely to the executive branch o fthe government.

In 1911 there were 2,547 cases of append! 1 citis recorded against 1,03d in 1919. j in 1920 the highest peak was icached with 2.790 cases. Men are more often afflicted, 'than women, in the peak years :theie were 500 more men stricken i than women. In 1919 the male sur-[ i plus fell to ninety. Diabetes, too. s:,ows a similar, curve. In 1914 there was an1 equal number of diabetics in New' i York and Berlin: 23 to every! 100,000 unit of population. Wltnj the beginning of the hunger block-1 ade in 1917 the proportion fell to; j 17 in Berlin and sank further to ill in 1919 when the full force of the blockade was !elt. In New] [York the number of diabetics ros I progressively from 11 to every 100,0C0 Inhabitants in 1900 to 2t in 15)17 and to 25 ir. 1922. as one of the reverse-side accompaniments of increasing prosperity.

In Denmark the excess of deaths {among men over these among wo I men is parlicularly marked and {points to the obvious conclusion l that gluttony is man’s nemesis From 1890 to 1910 the death rate i there among men was roundly one i third more than among women, j Denmark was included in the blockade front April, 1914, to the led of tlie war. Food was ration ed, production of alcoholic drinks ceased. In 1918 the, excess of deaths among men over those among women, which also decreas ed, was only one-twelfth. With the return of a freed food market it rose again in 1921 to one-sev enth. To give a balanced interpretation the total death rate statistics in Germany are given. The hunger blockade brought a decrease In appendicitis and diabetes cases, but increased the death rate at large. In 1916 the jate was 17 to every 1,009 inhabitants; in 1919. with no more war casualties, but with the civilian population suf fering from excessive want. It rose to 21.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR LABOR DAY SMOKER OF MOOSE STARTED A fight card for the Moose Lodge i smoker on Labor Day is being drawn up by the committee ap pointed several weeks ago to ar I range for the bouts, and plans for the smoker are well under way, it was announced today.

Announcements of the card are expected to be made within a lew days. Filipinos Face Dilemma; Severe Test Being Made (Continued from Page One) supreme court upheld General j Wood’s position. Its decision plac^ i ed the governor general in full control of the companies, as the only person authorized to vote the I government’s stock, and deprived the legislature of any voice what ever in the management of the i concerns. i The leaders of the two political parties in the islands contended, even long before the decision was j rendered, that the people should have a part in the management of the concerns, through their repre sentatlves, the heads of the two houses of the legislature. 'In view of the new spirit of co operation between the executive and the legislative branches of the government, it is generally believ ed in both political and business 'circles that Governor Stimson will get together with the legislative j leaders to work out a plan to give the people representation in the j management of the companies. However, it is freely predicted tftat {the governor gene.al, and not the legislature, will hold the controll ing vote in any new board that might be created. The manner In which this may be done remains an unsolved prob lem. Senator Juan Sumulong, leader of the Democrats, minority party, suggested a tdan. which was en dorsed by the Nationalists, ma jority party, shortly after the board of control litigation started.

One Objection The objection which has been I voiced to his plan, from the view I point of I he executive branch of I the government is that there is notiilng to prevent such a board from taking control away from the I executive department by voting in favor of the position taken by the legislature in the event of a dis pute over the management of the companies. The national corporations con sisting of three major concerns— the Philippine National bank, the Manila railroad and the National Development company and four smaller concerns. Theso latter are the Manila hotel, operated by the Manila railroad; tile Cebu Ce ment plant, the National Coal company and the Sabani estate, owned and■< operated by the Na tional Development company. The I companies were organized during the administration of Governor I General Harrison, who preceded j General Wood. Their totr.' value has been placed in excess of 137, I 500.000. i-ieavy Losses &UTiereci Heavy losses were sufered by the corporations in the past, and nine of them are still losing money. This has given rise to accusation:! that the companies ware instru ments for distributin’, political plums and that the concerns had been deliberately org; nUed Jiy the politicians fo rtiiat purpose. It was charged that political favorites were given responsible and high salaried positions regardless of their qualifications. The nation al bank lost $37,500,000 before it was put on a sound ba-ds under Governor General Wood. The presi dent of the bank and a number of department heads war’ sent, to prison, the president for violating (the hank's charter by granting ttn secured loans and the department heads for defalcation. it is possible that some of the concerns, especially those operat ed by the National Development company, will he disposed of to private interests.

July In.— j International collegiate Contests like those between Oxford-Cam-' bridge and Harvarcl-Yale, will sooji take place on two levels, one on 'the ground and the cither In the air. Tb. flying squadrons of Oxford, and Cambridge universities are pre paring In accept for next year the' I invitation of five American col-, I leges to join them in an annual 1 intercollegiate airmanship contest.1 Oxford and Cambridge air squad-1 rons expect to compete witli Ameri-I can colleges immediately after their first air contest, scheduled, for the spring of next year. Fly-: ing instructions at both univerj| slttes has reached the point where' a-• competition catr^be hold withe out danger to life and property. The Hrltlsh University student-' flyers do not prefer an out-and out race, but prefer an e ndurance* contest consisting of long flights,j judged on points of airmanship as well as speed. In the proposed j international contests the English student-flyers intend to make use of only the ordinary planes given them for Instructional purposes by the British government. The Oxford University Air squad ron now has a flying field of its! own at Upper Hflyford, near Ox-! ford, and a large building within Oxford for mechanical and naviga tion instruction. The m?mber ship of the squadron already com promises 50 undergraduates. The Government has placed three Avio airplanes at the squadron's dispos al. The Cambridge University squadron lias reached a similar stage of development. The growth of the student air squadrons here is unique in view of the fact that the University authorities have sternly frowned upon flying by undergraduates. Undergraduates not members of the squudron are fined if they make an airplane flight without the written consent of their par 1 ents. i I i FOREST FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED IN EIGHT HOUR Fi'GHT A forest fire covering over half an acre of timbered country at While Water hay. was successful ly put out after 8 hours' work liy Harold Smith, forest ranger, and Arl Nelson, engineer on the Rangpr VII, Mr. Smith said this morning when they returned to town.

ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION BUSINESS CONTINUES CAUTIOUS. Although the first hnlf of lf»2S closed with business activity maintained on a remarkatly even level, and most of the industries were at least fairly prosperous, business has been more cautious than normally to lie found under such conditions. This caution is cne of the most significant features of the current position. A record volume of construction work, and of steel output, the strength of the copper market, the high level of activity in the automotive, agri cultural implement, machine tool, chemical, elec trical and many other branches of industry have not served to give a buoyantly optimistic tone I to business. Various factors are responsible for tills cau tion. remarks the National Bank of Commerce of New York. Some of them are temporary and more or less extraneous to actual business—the political uncertainties of an election year for example, or tile unknown hazard engendered by popular involvement In stock speculation. More fundamental is the increasingly thoughtful con sideration bus'ness interests are giving to the major problems of the nation’s economic organ ization American industry has always been in a flux, but it is more so now, perhaps, than at ",ny time in past history. A steady pressure on prices, tlie extreme severity of competition, dif ficulty in maintaining a reasonably full employ ment of plant capacity, losses seemingly inher ent in the distributive system, the narrow mar gin of profit in some of the most fundamental industries—such matters are compelling a deeper consideration of many accepted tenets and prac tices. Even btTiader questions are being gradually envisaged for example, those involved in tlie relationships of agricultural production, Industrial labor and domestic and foreign markets for the expanding output of manufacture. While these matters will lie in process of consideration and adjustment for years to come, they are none the less influencing the current trend. The serious consideration they are receiving, based as it is on a steadily broadening body of knowledge of the uctual conditions, in Itself lias tended to limit the wider swings of business activity and seems to be developing a more stable, if at times less exuberant type of prosperity. CANADA BORDER FIXED BY STARS. The International Boundary Commission has undertaken to mark beyond the possibility of dispute the line between the United States and Canada. As It is approximately 4,000 miles long and was determined by treaties between Great Britain and the United States, some of which go back us far as 1782, together with subsequent measurements and treaties agreed on from time to time, the possibilities for error and dispute are easily comprehended. That no misunderstanding may exist in the future as to the exact location of the .line, the Commission is to prepare maps and reports as provided under the treaty of 1925, so that re tracing and remonumenting may never again ite necessary. The latitude and longitude of every point marked on the boundary line are fixed exactly through a belt of precise triangulation known as the North American Datum, 1927. It has been said, in fact, that the boundary is celestially fixed—actually tied to the stars. If the boundary monuments were moved or destroyed, it is said that every course of the line could be retraced and monuments re-established with a degree of precision comparable to that of geodetic control. Prom the geographical stand point, therefore, the stars will have to change their courses before the two countries will find cause for dispute over Territorial limitations. And as the shifting position of the heavenly bodies is a matter of milleniums rather than of the centuries by which history is measured on this planet, future cause for dispute seems very far distant. BARUCH FOR SMITH B. M. Baruch, noted New York financier student of American and world economics, an nounced recently lie would support Gov. Alfred E. Smith for the Presidency, Riving him any aid he desired. In making known his stand, he said: Without saying anything against Hoover, for whom I have the very high est regard, I favor Smith for President. I favor him because he is an expert in government, is Bound in matters of busi ness, finance and economics, and in addi tion to this is a man .who is close to the American people. He is a man who can be admired for his great human quali ties. Like other business leaders, notably Charles M. Schwab, Mr. Baruch scouted the idea that the voters of the nation would be fooled by a cam R pafgn that made "prosperity" an issue. That is not based upon the success or failure at the polls of any party or candidate. He characterized Hr. Work's announcement that the Republicans would carry on their campaign on the basis of "the full dinner pail” as "nonsense,” and said j lie doubted whether Mr. Hoover would have ap proved any such declaration.

Removing Obstacles to Contentment. (Engineering and Mining Journal.) A joint problem- Insurance and the cost of sickness- is among the perennial subjects that cry aloud for attenion. The Saturday Evening Post in a recent editorial hinted the possibility of State insurance and more governmental con cern in the health of the Nation. This influential publication believes that "most industries, and perhaps even a high-minded profession like medi cine, needs a littile threat, a ghost on the back stairs now and then, to stir them into the highest measure of service. Institutions, like men. some times do their best work when unother candidate for the job is waiting to step into their shoes.” A governmental investigation' into the cost and efficiency of life insurance might result disas trously. however. Lobby efforts in opposition would doubtless he made at Washington and else where, the cost of which would lie heavy. And the policy-holders, present and prospective, would have to pay—in premiums "loaded" with still further charges. One can make provision against monetary loss from accident, but not against unemploy ment. Ample facilities are available to permit one to make financial provision for one’s heirs; but it is not to easy to obtain adequate protec tion against survival in combination with the major disturbing factor in life—sickness. So called life insurance is usually death insurance, and the wisdom of pension schemes needs a much broader recognition than it has been accorded hitherto. The findings of a committee on the High Coat of Medical Care, under the chairmanship of Ur. Ray Lyman Willhur,. President of Stanford University, is expected to deflect considerable public attention in the direction of a problem that often attains the proportion of. a menace to solvency and causes perpetual worry among a large section of the population. When this condition is aggravated by crude propaganda aimed to drive all and sundry to the medical examiner s office, a factor of psychological sug gestion is introduced that complicates a situation that is had enough as it is. Cross Incompetency among medical practi tioners. especially in regard to diagnosis, Is not uncommon. The cost of a surgical operation often proves a serious burden to the millions comprising the great middle classes, who are usually obliged to accept the verdict of one sur geon. Hospital charges are invariably excessive, (inly the rich are free from anxiety as to ability !to pay; the poor can avail themselves of free jservice at the many institutions that are avail able. Industry has stepped into the breach to a commendable extent, showing that medical care can be dispensed efficiently and economically. It is good business for a company to keep its j employees healthy and happy. Paternalism of this kind is one of the best evidences of recogni tion of a growing spirit of humanitarianism that might well seep into the broader channels of national lite. More clinics are needed where the middle classes can get good medical service at a price which they can afford to pay; and more health insurance is a necessity for all but the independently well-to-do. If one could adopt the Chniese practice of paying the doctor only when well, there would be fewer quacks, qualified" and unqualified reg istered and unregistered, and a larger number of useful people with sound minds in sound bodies Why (io to College? (Toledo Blade.) “The majority are Inspired by a wish to gain or maintain social recognition or to enjoy athletics and friendship.” The college student council! made this report to the Yale faculty after study of the motives which prompt students to enter college. This confession from Yale proves pretty well that John I). Rockefeller, Jr., was stating facts and not dealing in sensationalism when he said in an address at a Negro university commence ment that many young folks who go to college would do better at useful work in home towns. True enough, if they could be Induced to do useful work anywhere, but the drones and those win) sing “I'd be a butterfly” are not permitted |to impede the progress of those earnest, indus jtrious students who go to college to get equip ment for doing the best and most useful work of the world. Fighting Business. (New Yo#k World.) The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, of which Chief Justice Taft is Honor ary President, Is able to report "remarkable Pingress ip jts twenty years of struggle and triumph. Of. triumphs the greatest is that ophthalmia neonatorum, "babies’ sore eyes,” as a cause of blindness among those admitted to schools for the blind is now 61 per cent, less than in 190X. By universal adoption of pro phylactic treatment it might be completely eradi cated Most States now require such treatment. Sight-saving classes for threatened children have in consequence of the society’s urgings been established in eighty cities of eighteen States. But more than ten times as many such classes “re needed for pupils of little vision. Trachoma is much more intractable; but the researches of Noguchi and others are enabling physicians to get a strangle hold upon it. And while it re mains true that 15 per cent, of the 100,000 blind men and women in the country lost their sight by industrial hazards, there remains in that di rection a fertile Held for reform. The Youngstown Telegram tells the world there is no petting on the Youngstown golf links. Didn't think there was. You can't do much petting with a golf club. At least pre marriage petting.—(Houston Post Dispatch.) A1 Smith says he knows no one in Iowa, but if he ever passes through the State on a campaign tour he will hear enough Iowans yell, "You know me, All”—(lies Moines Register.) We see where our large universities, which are nests of lconodasm and subversive notions of all kinds, are picking Hoover in their straw votes.— (Detroit News.) In some States you must get a prescription before you get liquor. In other Slates you must get one afterward.— (Washington Post.) Maybe the wets in the Democratic Party maneuvered the convention where It would be hot and dry.—(8t. Louis Post-Dispatch.) ALONG LIFE’S DETOUR I I By SAM HIT A, 3-—-s'; Goes For Either You—or'Me I like to hear niv praises sung, And that my death would be a loss— It’s grand to hear folks say— "You’re good"— Yeh. even when it's apple sauce! Forty Years Ago— It was rivers and streams in stead of the poor that had fords. Huh! Blinks: “He has been sick all Iiis life." Jinks: “Yes i: did no: do him any good to be well-born.” Says the Cynic— Yon can give others a contagious! disease or advice, but they’ll take the contagious disease from you when they won’t the advice. Ary Burgh’s Worst Enemy The pesky knocker who Just runs It down, Is far worse than the boss Who runs a town.

Way’a Life “When I get up In the morn ing I always determine I will not make the same mistakes I did the day before.” “Well, do you succeed?” “Usually, but somehow I gener ally find that, while I haven't made the same ones, I have made a heap bigger ones.” It's Grand To Lead the League! A fortunate city is one where when it rains you never hear: “Well, this if, one day they won’t lose, anyway!” Why Suffer? A London woman complains that when she plays certain nigh notes on her violin it gives her tooth ache. Why doesn't she stop play ing the violin and try playing some of Danny Durum's tips.

Passing Observation One of the hardest things about life to understand Is why the fel low least qualified is always the one surest he could do your job better than you do. More or Less True Our guess is that girls will be so fed up on kissing that 10 years from now their lips won’t get any more wear and tear than their [brains do now. It used to be that when an old j married man saw a woman who I had missed a button sitting in I front of him, he always wanted i to reach over and button It, now I he feels the same way about shav I ing the back of her neck. I The reason girls prefer the of fice to the kitchen is because they j can’t dress up like they were go ing to a party, for the kitchen. I There would be more happy mar riages if a husband could tune out j on his wife the way he can on i the radio when what is being I broadcast doesn't suit him. I An optimist is a husband who I thinks If tlie style for long hair comes hack his wife and daugh j ters won’t find a way of making the growing out process even more expensive than keeping it hoboed The old-fashioned woman who had the figure to wear ciothes to the best advantage now has a I daughter who has one to not war I 'em to the host advantage. The ideal home is one where if you inell something burning you know it is tile bread or cake in 'he over, anti not a cigarette left I on her dressing table. The man. who kic ks because he I had to spend his last five dollar bill at the church supper is usual ly the same guy who thought it was a joke when he lost all but the five out of his week's salary at the poker party the night be fore. The trouble with marriage today is that while the bride is answer ing *he parson’s questions she’s I often thinking that if she isn’t as happy as she thought she'd 4>e with what's also answering the parson’s questions, a little divorce suit will give her the right to go .fishing again. A woman usually thinks because some other woman’s husband has not her husband's faults, he must be a joy to live with. But his wife can tell her a thing or two.

From the first un til the fade-out, it is just one hearty laugh. The part Syd Chaplin takes is very much different from any that he lias had in the past. And ho is very much funnier and lias more gags that are original than ever before. Critics in the oas t claim that it has been a decided hit and that this comedy bowled ’em over in every city in which it played. Syd Chaplin has the part of a hunter and the experiences he goes through to find “The Missing Link,” and the girl that he loves, are enjoyed by both young and old. The thrills are many.

Courtrooms throughout tho em pire are being altered anil reno vated. In addition to the jury system the Tokyo district courts art* planning an Innovation prob ably unique in legal procedure. An elevator will run from the cell rooms in the basement to tho courtroom. When a criminal case is called the accused merely takes a seat on a chair in the elevator and a button does I lie rest. The elevator, forming an excellent prisoner’s cage, rises and the per son to be tried finds himself be fore judge and jury without mov ing. Tlie trial over, the judge waver liis hand nnd the prispner drops out of sight through the floor. The judicial authorities decided on tills arrangement because the average defendant is subjected to “tinrea j sonable strain" if forced to walkj through a double row of curious spectators to reach the prisoner's dock.
