PHILIPPINE LUMBER.
Lumber interests in China, and
particularly in Shanghai, as a result
of the boycott movement against
Japan, are reported engaged in a
project to obtain raw timber in fu
ture from the Philippines. In for
mer years the volume of Japan’s
lumber trade with China has run
into millions of taels annually.
David S. N. Hsia, a graduate of
the Philippine School of Forestry, j
said to have been sent to Shanghai |
by the Philippine government with j
the approval of Governor-General I
Harrison, has just completed a sur- j
vey of China’s lumber market and
a study of means by which Philip- j
pine lumber may be most econom-'
ically brought here.
Chinese wood workers, carpenters i
and builders are said to manifest!
an increasing aversion against the j
use of Japanese lumber.
Upon the completion of Mr. Hsia's j
survey it was announced that in
future the Philippines would under
take to supply a large portion, if
not the bulk of China’s lumber
needs. An intention expressed was
to apply to the United States ship- ]
ping authorities with the request j
that boats be supplied to encourage j
the growth of the new business.
ARMS FOR ARMLESS.
An invention enabling armless |
men to wash, shave and feed them-1
selves and to perform other remark- i
able feats such as typewriting, ha. j
just been demonstrated at the min- ;
istry of pensions in London.
The appliance, which can be fixed !
to any table, is worked by the feet. •
A knob is held between the toes j
and this is attached to levers con- J
nected with two arms which are sus
pended over the table. These arms '
can be moved about and made toj
pick up all sorts of articles.
The inventor, a Scotch gasfitter, ]
in demonstrating his device washed
his face with the substitute hands. :
He drank from a cup, used a knife
and fork readily in cutting up food,
and fed himself, pul a cigarette in
his mouth, opened an ordinary
match box, extracted the match and
lighted the cigarette.
He turned over the pages of a
ledger and made entries in it, drew
a design on paper with a pencil and
cut the drawing out with a pair of
scissors. He demonstrated that he
could do typewriting, and worked a
substitute for a sewing machine.
Another appliance was shown for
writing with a fountain pen. The
country is showing great interest in
this invention in view of the possi
bilities it offers to the many armless
soldiers to engage in numerous oc
cupations.
LEARNING U. S. WAYS.
One of the bigest lessons learned
by France from the American
“doughboy,” according to Gaston
Bidal, president of the Union of
Sporting Federations, who was re
cently elected to the French cham
ber of deputies, is the value of out
door athletics. He predicts France
will have at least 1,000 open-air
athletic stadiums in various cities
and towns within the next fivi
years. ■
“It was due to football, baseba!
and similar sports,” he said, “tha
the United States was able to raise
equip and train an army of 2,500,
000 men in a few months. Athlet
ies is the best sort of military prep
aration.”
M. Vidal told a representative ol
The Associated Press that one o1
the first bills he will attempt tc
have passed by the chamber will bt
to make the appropriation of 10,
000,000 francs given this year foi
athletics an annual affair. He saic
that he also interpellate the govern
ment on the manner in which the
10,000,000 francs of 1919 were ex
pended.
Referring to the coming Olympic
games, the new member of parlia
ment said that France would send
200 trained athletes to Antwerp, as
well as two complete soccer and
Rugby football teams, water-polo
and tennis players.
If the funds allotted by the gov
ernment are insufficient, Mr. Vidal
said that he, together with Mr.
Rameil and Mr. Pate, legislative
colleagues who are also much in
terested in athletics, will raise a
public subscription which will be
called “The French Olympic Mill
ion,” in order to finance the French
athletes.
HALL IS READY
FOR LEAP YEAR
DANCE TONIGHT
Unique decorations, a specially
arranged musical program, and the
introduction of novelties entirely
new to Xenana will combine to
make the Leap Year dance, sched

ting it mildly to state that the
dancing public of Xenana is lookinp
forward to the event with eager an

in the community has signified hei
intention of being there, and sorrn
cf them, it is said, have as many
as half a dozen men invited.
That is a privilege the ladies havi
—of inviting as many men as they

tends them a special invitation am
.will see that they enjoy themselves
The fun will start promptly at 1'

tion, the committee has asked Thi
|News to remind the ladies of th<
| importance of being there on time

thing. The ladies are also remindei
to write their names on a slip o
