The population of the Philippines is probably about 10,000,000. At least
800,000 of the Inhabitants of tho principal Islnnds of tho archipelago are
classed us "uncivilized." The trade with the United States Is about this:
To Philippines, $7fi,000;000 ; to United States, $90,000,000. Total of Philippine
exports, $150,000,000.
The attitude of the Filipinos on Independence is apparently this: "Wo
are grateful for your help to date. But we can take care of ourselves now.
Good-by."

Senator Heflin
Senator James Thomas Hefiln
from Alabama (portrait herewith)
isn't Just like the senators elected In
November. One difference consists In
the- fact that he Is now functioning
in that august body, while all the oth
ers except Senator Carter Glass of
Virginia, will have to wait until March
4 before taking their seats. The rea
son Is that he was elected to 1111 tho
vacancy caused by the death of tho
late Senrtor John H. Bankhead.
Senator Heilln has been promoted
from the house, where he served eight
full terms and a portion of an unex
pired term. Ho was horii at Loulnn,
Randolph county. Ala., April 0, 1809.
"He Is a typical Southerner In man
ners and dress," say most of tho
sketches of him. Anyway, he Is a
glass of fashion. He was a mighty
champion of the cotton Interests while
In the house and he ranks President
Wilson high among tho greatest men
of all time.
Senator Ilcfler Is a college man nnd hus been admitted to the bar. He
served Alabama In various capacities before being elected to the house In 1001.
the Philippines
Isuuro Onbnhlou Is the name of
tho new Philippine Islnnds resident
commissioner who will be on hnml at
the next session of congress. He has
been elected for a three-year term,
lie Is a. lawyer In Munlla and Is an
ardent advocate of the Independence
of the Philippines.
Tho Philippines were ceded to the
United States by Spain In 1898. There
was a succession of military gover

oral Otis, General MncArthur, Gcnernl
Chaffee. In 1002 the ofllco of military
governor was abolished and the Phil
ippine commission became the gov

In 1010 congress passed an net

Philippine legislature, composed of
senate and house of representatives.
There are 24 senators and 00 repre

Wireless Death
Complete annihilation of enemy
fleets long before they come within
gun range of the New York skyscraper
skyline, or the formications guard
ing tho Golden Gnte, becomes a seem
ing possibility as a result of recent
tests by warships of the navy off the
Virginia capes. For these tests a
number of out-of-date bnttleshlps were
used. There was not a human being
on board, yet they were maneuvered
hither und thither at will. Thus the
battleship Ohio, of 13,000 tons, was
steered and managed by wireless op
erators on the battleship Indiana.
The wireless-controlled ship has
been developed out of the Invention
of John Hays Hammond, Jr., son of
a noted American engineer.
The possibilities of the Idea In
volved seem limitless. To supplement
It, there Is wireless control of air
planes, which since the war has been
successfully developed. An American

In the average home It Is spring

disposed of In the heart of winter to
the best ndvantngc. One of the models
turned out for the flapper Is pictured
here and shows no startling departure
from present stylos. Any of the plain,
fairly heavy wash fabrics are sujted
to It and Its appeal lies In its neat
ness and girllsbncss. It hns a plaited
skirt and a plain smock with three
quarter length, flaring sleeves. The
The Day of
THE day of tho fur hut, which was
duo to arrive at least a month ago,
was postponed by October weather
which persisted In lingering with us
Into December. But every lint has Its
day and, como whnt will, our fur hats
nre a part of the play In Junuary and
February anyway. They aro too at
tractive to neglect and this season
they took their responsibilities light
ly; for almost all of them nre only
pnrtly mnde of fur. We have fur and
velvet, often with embellishment of
epnrkllng bend embroidery, fur and
brilliant, rich brocades, fur and em
broidered fabrics; the fur providing
brims for all sorts of gay and Inter
esting crowns.
Tho furs best liked nre the short:
haired vejvety pelts, as Hudson seal,
molo skin, benver, caracul, sable, squir
rel und mliric. Ermine uppears occa
sionally, but nearly alwuys as a trim
ming, and very handsome velvet hats
with knots or bows of fur, or emplace
ments of fur panels on the brims, are
shown umong other fur huts. Occa
round neck Is finished daintily with
an Inset collar of whlto batiste. For
decoration, a border pattern In col
ored iloss nnd very simple stltchery,
finishes off the neck, tho sleeves and
the bottom of the smock. It Is In
this simple needlework that tho model
shows n variation from Its predeces
sors. There Is nlso something n llttlo
new In colors that s, shades and
tints have changed a trifle. .
It Is noteworthy that Btylcs for
young misses are growing more con
servative; that they aro getting hack
to something like common sense after
much extravagance In the pifst season
or so. Too much elaboration, too rich
mnterlals, too many colors robbed the
dress of young girlhood of Its
own pnrtlcuhlr charm, which must
always Ho on tho sldo of daintiness
or simplicity; nnd charm Is tho most
valuable asset of tho flapper, as It Is
of all womankind. There is nothing
more unpleaslng' than overdressed
young girls.
the Fur Hat
sionally the rule of fur brims nnd fab
ric crowns is reversed In models that
have fur crowns and velvet brims.
The handsome hat ut the top of the
group pictured employs squirrel fur
for Its coronet nnd shirred gray velvet
for a crown. Such lints are often fin
ished with n sparkling pin or orna
ment of rhlnestones suggestive of
frost. The soft, warm looking hot at
the left has a brim that suggests tho
cozy poke bonnet and Is trimmed with
ribbon and fur halls. It might bo
made In any of tho millinery furs. At
the right a turbnn with a wide up
turned brim of fur has a sectional
crown of velvet and boasts a lovely
plume of curled ostrich nt the hack.
Such hats as these have real values to
offer; for good furs outlast ninny sen
sons. If cared for, find may be made to
servo on other hats.

"It's rather late for the children to

"Yes, they need u nnp," suld Nurse
Fog, nnd old Mr. Sun, who peeped
from behind a cloud to sec what was
