It is highly valued because of the very noticeable increases in both weight and nerve poise, which so frequently occur, when Oval tine is added to the regular dai ly fare. Recent scientific tests conduct ed with 48 school children in New York showed a decrease in nervousness, in some cases, of 25% in 2 weeks (as measured by the Olson-University of Min nesota checking system) when Ovaltine was added to the reg ular diet. 85% of all nervous under-par children treated in these New. York tests responded almost at once. In one case, nervousness diminished as much as 18% in a single week. While these results are of out standing significance to mothers of nervous children, they are equally important tp the moth ers of underweight children, too. For child specialists have longobserved that underweight and nervousness ofte.n go hand in hand. Thus, when a child is given Ovaltine, he frequently benefits 2 ways. For it acts to break up the “vicious circle” that nerv ousness and underweight tend to create. And often, weight increases of a pound a week or more are reported when Oval tine is added to normal diet. You simply mix Ovaltine with milk—either hot or cold—and children love it for its delicious taste. You can get Ovaltine at any drug or grocery store. Or, if you wish to try before buy ing, send in the coupqn at right for a trial supply. I MAIL FOR 3-DAY SUPPLY j I Ed. A. Keller & Co.. Ltd.. Dept. W.J-.-> I [ 178 Juan Luna. Wise Bld-.. ' ] I P. O.

MANILA RAILROAD COMPANY 943 Azcarraga, Manila Tel. 4-98-61 Manila, May, 1935 WOMAN’S HOME JOURNAL The First Ten Years Dear FriendsHE Woman's Home Journal is ten years old today. - It comes to you with deep appreciation for your friendliness, quick sympathy, generous understanding, and support. As regards the contribution that the Journal may have made to further or promote the cause and welfare of tvomen, children and better homes, it prefers to leape it to others. But of one thing it is certain, that with out the generous aid of a steadily widening circle of friends, like you. the contributions the Journal has ten dered would have been impossible. The Journal was the child of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, but the way in which it was adopted by the general pub lic and taken into intimacy has been a heart-warming experience. The first ten years are always the hardest but with the loyal backing of its friends, the Journal’s first decade has been a period of slow but steady progress toward goals previously visualized, of faithful unremitting striv ing, often against discouraging odds. It has survived the test. It aims to go on, to continue to be a journal for women who are alert, intelligent, eager to keep abreast of the times and who are interested in social and civic questions. It will attempt to become a pleasant compa nion to clubwomen, professional or business women, wives and others who believe that a broader outlook in life inspires better understanding at home. As the organ of the Federation—the Journal, will always endeavor to be a real text-book of club work for the dessimination of club news and promotion of club ideas and ideals without leaving its pages cut and dried, but bringing at all times interesting articles and good ideas to the women and the general public as well. We women are not by any means at the summit even if we have won many of our aspirations. We are still struggling to scale the heights in our desire to play our role for the country’s welfare, and the way seems steep and full of obstacles. We must keep kindled at all times the spark of ambition which we had when we started, and our prayers and plans will be broadcast by the Journal for us so that we may continue in our strug gle with greater vigor and renewed inspirations. The showing of the women during the last regis tration. manisfests that if we fight for a principle, we can win our way despite insurmountable obstacles. We were late in starting but what we were able to do shows effectivity. We are gaining friends and supporters among men of careful judgment and open-minded consideration and we wish to keep thts friendship and support. But before we can make friends and win supporters, it is ne cessary that we show to the world that we are ready to stand for our own rights. In our struggle to preserve our principles, the Woman’s Home Journal has been our chief organ. We can achieve a cause through careful judgment and not hysteria; hard thinking, not high emotion; open-minded consideration, not violent prejudices; sym pathy not bitterness. During its existence, the Journal has constantly ad vocated for women’s rights and won many a cause based on sound principles. The Journal emerges today a bet ter and stronger paper ready to pick up the gauntlet where the women’s rights are challenged. On its tenth birthday, the Journal rededicates it self, its youth, courage, and enthusiasm to the service for which it came into the world—the promotion of the cause and welfare of women, children and better homes. Secure in the good will and confidence of every one of us and our friends, th? Journal faces the next ten years with high hopes. Cordially yours, 04. WOMANS HOME JOURNAL Manila, May, 1935 jpnntr for Shnught..... By The Editor The result of the registration of women voters for the constitutional plebiscite to be held on May 14 fully demonstrates the rallying power of women. The spirit that never says die won the- fight. Facing grimly the first day’s poor showing in registration local women leaders showed grit and stamina. They held meetings, went out to campaign tirelessly to inform more women on the objects and methods of registration. The success obtained is now history. It is hoped that such a brilliant achievement will give our women spring to their heels, and further encourage in them the militant determination to reach the 300,000 goal which the Constitution requires so that they can enjoy suffrage. If women’s right to vote is worthwhile in principle, it is worthwhile working for. The establishment of the commonwealth of the Philippines will usher an era of sociological determinations and of social reform. Prior to the passage of the independence law, it was comparatively difficult to conduct studies of our social condition. The Phil ippines was too engrossed in political propaganda for the national cause. Now that independence is definitely in sight, we should take time for a thorough investigation of our social problems. We must plan for a sound program of social justice. The health and welfare of the masses must be given first consideration. W& urge women to realize this fact. They should emphasize preventive rather than remedial form of social adjustment which can be achieved through progressive social legislation. Miss Pilar Balmori of Manila, was elected private secretary of Mr. Joaquin Balmori, president of the Labor'Federation of the Phil ippines at the labor convention held on May 1. The election of Miss Balmori to this post is significant in view of the fact that this is the first time a woman is groomed for labor leadership. Her election will work to the advantage of the Labor Federation. There are many women working in factories and in jobs which would need the attention of the Labor Federation. And Miss Bal mori will be there to champion their cause. * * * In the midst of the country’s readjustment due to the changes that are taking place, the importance of family stability is paramount. This is primarily the duty of women. Women are homemakers. Because of the responsibility lodged in us, we should adopt more modern, scientific and business-like methods of home management. We still have many of the hit or miss methods which are waste ful not only in terms of real cash but also in time and energy. The business method of budgeting is very valuable for the housewife in placing her family on a sound financial basis. The home being the primary unit of the nation, follows that the nation, too, becomes financially stable. The methods of organizing, super vising and hiring in business are equally important in the home. Women should be intelligent buyers and efficient consumers. Quality rather than quantity, home products rather than imported 'ones, should be the slogan of the woman buyer. Women should pay special attention to what they feed their families because food is the foundation of health and consequently the health and economics of the nation. A sick man costs the country more than a healthy one. People who are sick and who die deprive the country of the services that they may render. Balanced diet then should be the chief concern of the Filipino homemaker. * * * It seems quite a paradox to have a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals while there is greater need for a S. P. C. C. or Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. We need not look around us to see how many babies are born out of wedlock and then abandoned. We are astounded to see how many beautiful children grow up in squalid surroundings amid immoral influences. Our hearts and our senses are gripped by the sight of little boys and little girls toiling all day and far into the night to support their parents and members of their family while their fathers lounge about or enjoy themselves in a game of chance. We see little boys and girls hardly ten years of age serving other people for nothing or for mere pittance to pay the debts that their parents contracted. Thousands of children are deprived of education because their parents, in most cases, their fathers, think only of their personal enjoyment and leave their children to grow in ignorance and poverty. When girls are literally bartered away into prostitution against their will, we begin to doubt the future of our country. The inhumanity of man is apparent as we frequently see young boys and girls mercilessly beaten by parents, relatives and masters who do not understand child nature and its peculiarities. All these conditions challenge the immediate attention of the people who have the heart, the mind and the ability to correct the evils to save for the country future citizens. Manila, May, 1935 WOMAN'S HOME JOURNAL What Our Governors General Have Said Of Filipino Women HAYDEN Governor-General J. Ralston Hayden: The Federation of Women’s Clubs is a tried and established institution in the Philippine Islands. It has a long record of distinguished service. Some twelve years ago, I have always had a particular interest and a very keen appreciation of the work that you are do ing and that you have carried on for so many years. A high quality of leader ship made possible the successful inaugu ration of women’s clubs in the Philippines and to that leadership and the faithful and devoted service of many members of the club throughout the Islands the peo ple look for aid and help and encourage ment in the problems which they are fac ing today. The National Federation and the Wom en's Clubs occupy a unique place in the life of the Philippine Islands. Your or ganization is national in the practical sense of the word. Thirty provinces are re presented and because it is national, it is unified. It is helping to make of the Fi lipino people a true nation in spirit, in sentiment, in purposes, as well as in blood. Your organization is non-partisan. It has for its sole purpose service of the lo cal community and the advancement of the national welfare. You seek no jobs, you are looking for no government con tracts, you are attempting to gain no busi ness advantages. Hence this organization is effectively dedicated to unselfish public service. Furthermore, the women’s clubs are unifying because they are non-sectarian. They are composed of enlightened and de vout women. Women’s clubs of the Na tional Federation of this country are al ways to be found upon the right side of any moral question that is before the peo ple. Furthermore, I have observed that the Women’s Clubs- of the Islands are com posed of the local and national leaders. In every community in the Philippines and elsewhere, but I think particularly in the Philippine Islands, there are a few people and few families to whom the community and to whom the nation turns for coun sel and for aid in time of trouble,—fam ilies and individuals to whom the people go for guidance in time of doubt. These women and men to whom the man or the woman in trouble goes for aid or to whom the community, faced by some disaster or threatened by some evil will turn for help and guidance—these women are found in your ranks, and in this crucial period of our national development the nation will turn to its organized women for counsel and for aid. Governor General Frank Murphy: Women have been endorsed by nature and experience with sympathy and a strong sense of duty, and have given am ple proof of their capacity for unerring WOOD MURPHY appraisal and energetic action in the treat ment of problems involving personal and human relationships. It would be an act of wisdom and fairness to bring the rich contribution of their clear vision and fine moral judgment to bear on these problems, by extending to them at this time the full right of suffrage. Governor General Leonard Wood: One of the strongest influences for build ing up interest in proper municipal and provincial government come from the nu merous women's clubs. They have done excellent work, especially in behalf of child welfare, public health, public instruction, private and public morality, and the sti mulating of interest in local government— municipal and provincial. The work done- by the women and their attitude toward public affairs justi fies me in recommending that suf frage be granted to women to the same extent and under the same conditions as men. Governor General Theodore Roose velt Jr.: Before I came to the Islands, I had known of the fine position held by the Philippine women. Now that I am here and have met them, I know why. It would be impossible to deny anything to such competent and charming ladies. 8 WOMAN S HOME JOURNAL Manila, May, 1935 A Woman Grown THE Filipino woman has developed mentally, socially and physically. And she is now invading the po litical field ruled by men. The Maria Clara type is fast vanishing, no matter how much the men who feel so protective want her to stay. The order of the day is growth. And the Filipino woman although slow at grasping the opportunity is wending her way toward emancipation. The greatest deterrent in the rise of woman in the Philippines is fear. It is not a definite fear, but a sort of a complex that springs from uncertainty. This is not the creation of the woman’s imagination, but an influence of the man. Man is afraid of the future of the woman. He wants her to be the same as he found his mother and sisters. Change brings him fear. While a man is not a good singer of lullaby, he wants more or less his wife to be like a child that he wishes to protect. He detests and refuses to learn to sing dirges and would not countenance a nag ging wife, but he is so spoiled he wants his wife to be a child and mother at the same time. Herein rises the complex that spreads fear as regards the change in a Fi lipino woman. The greatest enemy of the Filipino woman toward her emancipation is man. He wants his girl to go out alone with him, but he does not want her to haye the independence of an American girl which gives her the courage to protect her self. He wants her to be smart, but never smarter than himself. But man, no matter how much he would try to stop the growth of woman, cannot stem the development of the fair sex toward equality. The struggle of the women for equal rights is like the flow of the river, it may be dammed, but it By JUAN ORENDA1N will overflow the walls and keep its march toward the sea. The course may be di verted and for a while the arrival at the point delayed, but such, force will find its way toward the goaf. Woman has developed into “full man hood” speedily. Her struggle to capture the rights that belonged to her from the beginning was given impetus by the World War. When woman took the job of man and joined him in the front as Red Cross nurse, and ambulance driver, when she took the plow at home and kept the home fires so that her husband or her sweetheart could fight for her country, man had no heart to deny her rights. Although it must be admitted that in the past there were women queens who showed men how to rule an empire, their ascension to the throne was recognized as a matter of birth and accidental, and not a position won after a struggle. The rule of Queen Elizabeth of Eng land developed England to a position as mistress of the sea. The rule of Queen Victoria made England a powerful em pire. But the reign of these two great English queens were not given as much notice as when Lady Astor became mem ber of the British parliament. Lately woman has shown just as much courage and ability as man. Amelia Ear hart showed the world that a woman can fly a plane alone and perform feats just as much as Lindbergh. In athletics, woman prowess is well known as far back as the days of Atalanta. Woman has invaded the field of man and succeeded, whereas man has never suc ceeded to mother a home and invade the field of women. Man in some respects have succeeded in rearing children, but the mother has been more directly responsible for the success of the children. Tradi tion tells us that a woman was always a prize. She was a treasure to be won even ’ as she is now. Man fought in tournaments, fought duels for woman’s hand and as the victor took away the prize, the woman won was forced to live with a strong willed man. Time developed her to look up to her hero for protection. But time has changed. Woman is quite able to look after herself although she has always kept her virtue and her charms. It is part of her charm to give the man the opportunity to serve her when an oc casion comes. But she is as capable to take care of herself if she is in danger. Woman has always been reminded that her place is in the home. However, she has so developed and thinks on the basis that as homes are the unit of a nation, so must she take part in the life of a nation. There are so many things that women can do to make the world better and hap pier. In enlarging her scope, she can put into practice the same principles that go into homemaking, for the world sadly needs mothering and understanding coun sel—and many a dark corner needs house cleaning. The day has passed when the four walls of her home composed a woman's world. Now wives and mothers as well as the young girls make it their business to know what is going on in the world. Women newspaper readers are numerous, they out number men as magazine readers. They do not only take interest in knowing what is going on in the world, they take part in its activities. They study conditions intelligently and discuss daily events tak ing place all over the globe. They understand the fundamentals of business even if they do not engage in it personally. They can, therefore, under(Please turn to page 40) CLUB FACE POWDER is the Best — (1) Because of the high quality ingredients used to give a velvety smoothness— (2) Because ...

CLUB FACE POWDER IS FACE HAPPINESS Manila, May, 1935 WOMAN S HOME JOURNAL 9 Social Work in The Commonwealth By Josefa Llanes Escoda GOVERNOR-GENERAL FRANK MURPHY in his message to the tenth Legislature at its opening on July 16, 1934, said: “Human values must receive appro priate appraisal in the life of the na tion. Human relationships must be given first place in our thoughts and in our plans for the future. We must build here a social, economic and pol itical structure that will endure be cause it serves the fundamental needs of the people as well as their material interests. To assure the development of such a society in the Philippines the people must have an awareness of social problems and responsibilities. The ultimate objective of such a pro gram is a normal, contented, healthy people, free from unrest, dissatisfac tion or fear”. This is a forceful definition of Social Justice. It made evident that organized social work is an indispensable factor in the careful planning for greater Philip pines. Its ideals and methods can be util ized in dealing with the stubborn prob lems of poverty, delinquency and social subnormality in an intelligent and effi cient way. Through social work methods, the reclamation of wasted human re sources, of human beings drifting in and out of life that have never been made use of, can be possible. Social work can de velop more efficient individuals, greater understanding, greater community spirit, all of which are basic units for the Phil ippine Commonwealth. The Commonwealth will bring about many changes, and our people in keeping up with the changes, will meet so many problems which result in clashes between the individual and his environment. Such clashes cause maladjustments and conse quently unsatisfactory life. Trained and skilled social workers will be needed to help make these adjustments. For there will always be individuals and families who under the strain of life’s emergencies lack the resources or the capa city to solve their personal problems. There are many people so constituted that they are never capable of meeting anything more than their simplest life problem. Perhaps it is the father of a family dis couraged and shiftless as a result of un employment or chronic disease. He must be helped to get the medical attention he needs, secure a job and encouraged to keep it. Where one’s own resources, helpful friends or relatives fail or are lacking, there the social worker finds a task. Social work in the commonwealth will necessarily build rather than make over. It will be more than relief. Ordinarily, social work is believed to consist merelv of neighborly acts such as supplying the simple individual needs as jobs for the jobless, material relief for the destitute and medical service for the sick. But the goal of true social work is much more than relief. It aims to see that every suffering individual whether he has been financially, emotionally or physically de prived, is helped to become the best he can be in the community in which he lives and to become the finest and fullest ex pression of social life. Such human well being will be the cornerstone of our na tionhood. (Please turn to page 42) UNIVERSAL DRUG STORE SANTOS OCAMPO. INC.

National Discipline By LEON GUINTO NATIONAL discipline is synonimous with nationalism, and in its ap plication to the Philippines, means Philippinism. As we are now about to face a new national life, there is need more than ever before for national disci pline. National discipline means that every thought, and ideal of every Filipino citizen should be made in terms of the national welfare. Every Filipino citizen in the exercise of his vocation or profession must always have in mind not only his personal wel fare but that of the nation. The Fili pinos will be judged by what they do and for every good act that they do, the na tion will be judged accordingly. National discipline should concern the mothers in the 'bringing up of their chil dren. It is the mother who can rear a Spartan, a Washington and a Rizal. National discipline is also love for things Philippines. Our music, for in stance, should be preserved and developed. The preamble of our constitution provides among other things for the conservation and development of the patrimony of the nation. Our music, our native costumes, our customs and traditions, form part of the nation’s patrimony. Our musicians and composers, our modistes and schools of fashion, should always make predo minant Filipino traditions and character istics of the nation in each new master piece or creation. Veneration for the national anthem must be instilled in the hearts of the peo ple. One lamentable practice among our people is the playing of the Philippine hymn on any occasion. It is played when the barrio queen is crowned, when the town capitan dies, when the religious pro cession comes out of or enters a church. The national anthem should be reserved for patriotic occasions. It should stand a symbol of national love and pride. One way of showing our love for thing; Philippine is to buy native goods and na tive products. Every Filipino should ad here to the principles and ideals of the National Economic Protectionism Associa tion now headed by that able Filipino. We should likewise deem it a privilege to visit tombs and monuments dedicated to our national heroes. Whenever we could,- we should pay homage to the de parted and pray that we be imbued with their patriotic enthusiasm.

(It takes more pose to wear a lit tle crown With modesty and grace Than to adorn the lordlier thrones of earth.) You seemed so free from artifice and wile; And in your eyes I read Encouragement to my unspoken thought. Mv heart is eloquent with words to plead Its cause of passion; but my ques tioning mind, Knowing how love is blind, Dwells on the pros and cons, and Gcd knows what. My heart cries with each beat, “She is so beautiful, so pure, so sweet, So more than dear.” And then I hear The voice of Reason, asking; “Would she meet Life’s common duties with good common sense? Could she bear quiet evenings at your hearth, And not be sighing for gay scenes of mirth? If, some great day, love’s mighty recompense For chastity surrendered came to her, If she felt stir Beneath her heart a little pulse of life, Would she rejoice with holy pride and wonder, And find new glory in the name of wife? Or would she plot with sin, and seek to plunder Love’s sanctuary, and c"st away its treasure, That she might keep her freedom and her pleasure? Could she be loyal mate and mo ther dutiful? Or is she only some bright hot house bloom, Seedless and beautiful, Meant just for decoration and for show?” Alone here in my room, I hear this voice of Reason. My poor heart Has ever but one answer to im part, “I love her so.” (By LU A WHL’Ll ER W ILCOX HERS After the ball last night, when I came home I stood before my mirror, and took note Of all that man call beautiful. Delight, Keen, sweet delight possessed me when I saw My own reflection smiling on me there. Because your eyes, through all the swirling hours And in your slow good night, had made a fact Of what before I fancied might be so; Yet knowing how men lie, by look and act, I still doubted. But I doubt no more. I know you love me, love me. And I feel Your satisfaction in my comeliness. Beauty and youth, good health and willing mind, A spotless reputation, and a heart Longing for mating and for mo therhood, And lips unsullied by another’s kiss— These are the riches I can bring to you. But as I sit here, thinking of it aH ' In the clear light of morning, sud den fear Has seized upon me. What has been your past? From out the jungle of old reck less years, May serpents crawl across our path some day And pierce us with their fangs? Oh, I am not A prude or bigot; and I have not lived A score and three full years in ignorance Of human nature. Much I can con done; For well I know our kinship to the earth And all created things. Why, even I Have felt the burden of virginity, When flowers and birds and gold en butterflies In early spring were mating; and I know How loud that call of sex must sound to man Above the feeble protest of the world.' But I can hear from the depths within my soul The voices of my unborn children cry For rightful heritage. (May God attune The souls of men, that they may hear and heed That plaintive voice above the call of sex: And may the world’s weak pro test swell into A thunderous diapason—a demand For cleaner fatherhood.) Oh, love, come near; Look in my eyes, and say I need not fear. 12 WOMAN S HOME JOURNAL Manila, May, 1935 The Role They Play PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION WORK TO DEVELOP THE GOOD FILIPINO CITIZEN By Lulogio B.

Now it is for us to prove our worth by the application of the principles that we have learned. We should examine well our or ganization. We should not discard anything which is in existence un til something better is found to re place it. We must not allow the fancy for our own things to take the place of the world’s best that have stood the test of experience. We may learn much of other coun tries and of our neighbors and we shall be continually interdepen dent, giving and taking. In other words, the Filipino par ents and teachers should work to gether for the advancement of our aim, to develop Filipino school children who will be good Filipi no citizens, who will know how to live interdependently with our neighbors and with the world. The recent collapse of the Ver sailles Treaty shows that coopera tion now as ever is necessary. • And our school plans should visualize these ideas and develop our child ren into good world citizens by making them interdependently minded. We have had three cen turies when we were dependently minded, and thirty years in which we have been independently mind ed, but the future is neither for de pendence nor for independence bat is the era of interdependence. That will be the result of rapid, fre quent transportation by airship when Manila will be as quickly reached from Washington City half around the world as Batangas was from Manila during the rainy season of 1896. 'Then there is the radio by which we share the musical programs of Austra lia, the China coast, Europe, and America. And through broadcasts we hear the speeches of important world conferences. These new op portunities impose new obligations. It is for the schools to prepare for the changed conditions and the duty of the parent-teacher organ izations to see that we get the maximum of benefit from outside with the minimum of sacrifice of what is our own keeping us true and up-to-date Filipinos. Allow me in an outline form, so as to limit myself, to mention some pointers to which I would invite your attention, on “The Role of Parent-Teacher Associations in the Commonwealth Government.” Development of Nationalism This is one of the major pro blems of the Commonwealth, and the Parenb-Teacher Associations can help a great deal in coordinat ing the work of the school, the home, and the community in this respect. In coordinating this work the home is the senior partner and its advice should prevail. If the pa rents want their children to fol low any particular vocation their desire should prevail unless the child is exceptionally fit for a profession or other line of life work. Continue all the old order of things, what is now the order of things, for we create chaos if we make changes unless wg are as sured that the change is for the better. Change has its own time. Radicalism is only advisable if there is some definite and certain gain and advantage to be attain ed. Commonwealth does not nec essarily x mean radical change of what have already been achieved but rather progress and improve ment. Beginning schools should be led by those (missionary schools, es pecially) sympathetic to the country and people for there the child’s character is formed. They should be in closer harmony with the country. They should make the Philippines for the Filipinos as the Filipinos, whether they like it or not, have to stay here and should be happiest here. They should make the best out of what the Philippines have. Help Literacy Campaign Cooperate in the promotion of adult education. The members of the parent-teacher associations should maintain 100 per cent li teracy in their households—serv ants included. In this manner the association will help the Common wealth Government in making ef fective the provisions of the Con stitution which provides that: “The government shall establish and maintain * * * citizenship training to adult citizens.” Urge the Commonwealth Gov ernment to establish municipal li braries to serve as continuation schools where trained librarians could guide or direct the many who have missed a school educa tion, so that by reading and self study these persons may help themselves. Equally important is the inclusion in these libraries of the pictorial caton text teachable in any dialect which can be bor rowed by parents to prepare their children for the primary course. For three centuries the caton made the Filipinos literate, a practice (Please turn to page 44) Manila.

The home comes first, of course, and there is no need of it suf fering because of the effort of women to bring the idealism of the home into the political structure of the nation. There is no more reason why women should know little about and do nothing in pub lic affairs than there is for men to neglect and fail to participate in the problems of the home. A well balanced and zealous interest in both the home and politics by men and women is desirable.” * * * Dona Narcisa Rizal, 83-year old sister of our national hero, displayed the pa triotism characteristic of her family when. aged and weak, she still went to her pre cinct to exercise the right to vote for her country’s constitution. She avers: “Love of country and the teaching of it to the children are the principal care of the women in the commonwealth. Real ization of national duties should be im bued in the young, because only through this can we hope to aspire for a greater Philippines. “T he Christian woman in her role as mother, should also impress on her family the love of God, for religious faith has a great deal to do with building of upright citizenry. It is for the women to lead in this invocation for divine guidance that our new government may meet with suc cess—politically, economically, and spirit ually. * * * Dr. Ines S. Villa, one of our active women leaders, opines: “National economic protectionism is one of the first national principles that the public should support. More so should women stand by the principles sponsored by the National Economic Protectionism Association: they constitute our buying population, and on them lie the success of this present movement. "The government is confronted by so many political problems that it cannot seem to have time to extend help and pro tection to native industries. It therefore falls on the nationals to see that they buy things Philippines. “This means sacrifice for all the family and more worries for the housewife, but we must remember that the ultimate wel fare of the nation is at stake. The house keeper should use as much as possible Phil ippine products and should teach her fam ily to appreciate them. “The women should take it unto them selves to educate the masses the meaning of economic protectionism.

Back in those early days, we had to fight the prejudices of the people who were superstitiously fearful of the hospital. To almost all, the hospital stood for incurable diseases, pro longed sufferings—death. We had to grapple with these mistaken conception not in terms of arms or words but in results.

Crowded wards, busy dispensaries and overworked doctors can testify to that. Our masses—at least the Manila masses—are hospi tal-conscious. They prefer to stay in the hospital for treat ment. To them the doctor and nurses stand for security and ra pid recovery. These reflections and remini scences ever so much help in the proper celebration of Hospital Day.

My list has been compiled, not without trepidation, and only after extensive consultation with some of our best pickers of win ners. The feeling of the persons to whom I talked is that the time is past when there is any excuse for listing the accomplishments of women merely as the accomp!ishments of women. This all-Ameri can eleven is hailed, then, solely because the achievements of its members made history. Industry and Pubic Affairs Most dramatic of the lot is the gentle-voiced, blue-eyed Josephine Aspinwall Roche, Colorado coal operator recently appointed Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury, second woman to hold a sub-Cabinet job. Single-handed, not long ago Miss Roche fought a pride war with a great corporation and won.

Motion Pictures This year’s big news in motion pictures is California’s Shirley Temple, aged five. That tiny golden-curled, blue-eyed star, who manages somehow to act like a veteran, has scored in twelve months a string of successes, in cluding Little Miss Marker and Baby Take a Bow, that have sec ured her one of the most desir able contracts in Hollywood. Shirley has been in pictures since she was three and a half. So important do her parents, a California bank manager and his wife, consider it for their child to grow up in a normal manner that they have insisted on a con tract that specifies she must have plenty pf time for play and meals and must not be exploited for pro motion or publicity.

May. 19 55 WOMANS HOME JOURNAL 17 BREADWINNERS By Carmen Grau Ledesma Woman and child labor is jus tifiable only on certain conditions when the woman or child works to help maintain the family be cause of the insufficiency of fa mily funds or when the death or incapacity of the breadwinner throws upon the shoulder of the wife or of the child the responsi bility of providing the daily bread. But the work given a woman or child should be so that the hour is not too long, the work would not impose over exertion and un suited to them and that they can stay at home. The Bureau of Labor in the course of the many inspections and investigations made in the interest of women and children workers, assigns the following general causes for women and child labor. Poverty, widowhood, abandon ment by husband or father, sick or incapacitated husband or fa ther, desire to raise the family standard of living and desire to give the children educational op portunities. The reasons for child labor are: desire to supplement the family income, love of adventure, love of independence, imitation, and the thrill of earning a few centavos with the child’s own efforts. Women, married or single, among the Filipinos, work as a rule because of necessity. The re cords of the Bureau of Labor show no woman working in factories and other centers of labor just because they want to maintain the independence that money brings. Poverty or economic stress is the greatest impelling motive. Just as women are driven to work in factories and other cen ters of labor, primarily by econo mic necessity, so are the minors forced to work. Young souls fac ing a struggle for existence. Preference for women and child labor by the employers indicate that they are more desirable be cause they are patient, self-sacri ficing and easily satisfied; they are willing to receive lower wages, and in many respects the nature of work requires the employment of women and children. Work like candy wrapping, stripping tobacco, sewing, pack ing or labeling cigars and ciga rettes and matches, embroidery, sorting buttons, classifying abaca, washing bottles and the like, call for labor furnished by women and children. It is interesting to note that one button factory employs women ex clusively to classify buttons as the work requires a high degree of honesty and cannot be entrusted to men workers. Women by na ture are more honest than men. Again, in the Philippines, there is no discrimination against mar ried women workers. The woman labor deputy of the Bureau of La bor in a study of women workers in Manila says: “We know of a factory where married women are preferred to single ones. It is because they have in mind that the economic responsibilities of the former are greater than those of the latter.” Laudable as the motives on the part of women and children en gaged in labor, it should be borne in mind that their physical fitness are not as a rule equal to that of men laborers. When women are engaged in work where they have to over-exert themselves, ill ef fects are sure to follow. Early work on the part of the child is also fraught with dangers not for the child alone, but for society. It is an established fact that child labor is detrimental to normal physical development. In some respects it is also detrimen tal to the normal mental growth of the child. When physical and mental development are dwarfed • moral development usually follows. History shows us classical exam ples of the millions of children sacrificed in the coal mines of England during the early days and in the factories of Europe during the infancy of the Industrial Re volution when child labor laws were unheard of. The evils accompanying child labor are that when children are deprived of the opportunity for play and recreation, their health suffer and their eaf.iing capacity when they reach maturity is lo wered, and his normal life is short ened. Thus it results into physical de terioration of the race. Society cannot be strong unless its mem bers are strong. It also follows that illiteracy and lack of rudimentary education becomes general among the popu lation of the country, the children are not given the opportunity to develop their ability hence con demning them to an economic place lower than their capacity to fill had they the opportunity to de velop normally. This results into poverty and dependency. Lack of proper training results in great loss of potential industrial ability.

HISTORY QUEEN ISABELLA OF CASTILLE By Consuelo E. Grau PROBABLY no woman in history so deeply influenced her own gen eration and nation so deeply as Isabella of Castille. Queen and general, wife and mother, scholar and educator all in one. There seems to have been no sphere of activity in which she did not leave the stamp of her personality. Proof of this is the great amount of his torical legend that cling around her name today. Whether they are all true or not, is not for us to say; it is enough that they serve to show the variety of her activities. Isabella was the daughter of John II, king of Castille and Leon, by his second wife, the Infanta Isabella of Portugal. In 1469, she married Ferdinand of Aragon, and on the death of her brother Henry IV, she and Ferdinand jointly succeeded to the throne of Castille and Leon. A war with Portugal was terminated in Isabella’s favor in 1479, and the same year Ferdinand succeeded to the throne of Aragon as Ferdinand V. Their joint rule, laid the foundation of Spain’s future greatness. It was towards the end of the campaign against the Moors of Granada in 1492 that she supplied Columbus with the means to make his famous journey. She died in 1504 after a most successful reign. That, reduced to the barest essentials, is the story of her life to be found in some brief histories, and we must marvel how a life as rich and colorful can be com pressed into little more than 100 words. To do her full justice, we must go deeper into the facts. Under Henry’s profligate rule, the Span ish army had fallen to barely 500 men, and Isabella was in deep straits. With out a court, without an army, without a capital, she is said to have lived the first few months of her reign on horseback, galloping over Spain to gather men to help her. She had to appeal to the nobles and grandees, and here her indomitable determination and her powers of persua sion served her in good stead. And finally Joan herself, the true heir ess to the throne, settled the question of succession by taking the veil and leaving Isabella to the throne. Ferdinand had inherited the throne of Aragon and the two began a most aus picious joint rule with the understanding that each was to have equal authority. Isabella, aided by Ferdinand, proceed ed to the conquest of Granada and the expulsion of the Moors from Spain. During the ensuing war, she was always on the battlefield, personally keeping up the morale of her men and arousing their enthusiasm. We wonder today at her endurance in this period of her life. Two of her children, one of them Ca therine of Aragon, were born in the camps. It was during the siege of Granada that she is said to have vowed not to change her shift until the Moors gave in, and she is said to have kept her word, too. Her tent caught fire once and she barely escaped with her life. So she put her men to work building houses of stone and mortar. The Moors, looking down from their fortress saw a regular city take form right before their eyes and just be side their besieged Granada. Legend has it that the spectacle was too much for them and that they gave up, realizing how great the determination of their foe was. Granada surrendered on January 2, 1492, thus ending Mohammedan rule in the Spanish peninsula after an existence of nearly 800 years, and the territorial unity of Spain was established. It was during this siege that she had occasion to observe at close range the hard ship and pain brought about by war. Horrified by the sufferings of the wound ed, she set aside several large tents for their use. This was the first instance in history of a field hospital. It was during war with the Moors too that Columbus appealed to her for help. In 1503, she organized the origin of the Supreme Council of the Indies. She was also the patroness of the Great Cis neros in the reformation of the monas teries, which anticipated the reform after wards executed throughout the whole church. Everything that she did had for its ba sis her desire to glorify her religion. Her expulsion of the Jews and her establish ment of the Inquisition, however histor ians of today may view them, were brought by this desire. In the name of her Faith, she drove the Jews out of Spain, and in the name of her Faith, she let the Inquisition flourish with Tomas de Toquemada at its head. So far as we have seen Isabella as a queen and as a general: now we shall see her as a wife and mother, and as a scholar (Please turn to page 43) YOUR HEALTH JUST A PAIR OF GLASSES is -as harmful as a poison un less there is the professional skill behind all of it that de termines just what your eye sight should have.

Emilio Jacinto Elementary School THE Filipino people have progressed by leaps and bounds during the last thirty years. The Filipinos have made good citizens, responsible and productive members of society. Our peo ple possess many fine qualities. Foreign ers have invariably praised us for our hos pitality, for our cordiality, for our desire to learn and our aptitude and diligence as pupils. That we are brilliant students is evinced by the rapidity with which we have pro gressed in hygiene and sanitation by adopt ing foreign ways to our own customs and traditions with reference to the manage ment and care of the home, to the bring ing up of children, and to the running the government of our country. Our homes are cleaner and pleasanter places to live in now than they used to be. Our children arc trained to become responsible and productive members of society, who may develop into farsighted leaders of the country. No apology is needed if we attribute the rapid progress of our country to the institutions: the home and the school. And it does not require any stretch of the imagination or a deep study of our social life before one can definitely point to the builder of our strong and able citizenry— the WOMAN. Whether at home or at school it is the woman’s influence which is felt. In the relationship between man and woman, it is the woman who exerts the greater influence over the other, as Dorothy Dix truly asserts, and as every body’s observation will confirm. Extensive as our advancement has been, we should not be so complacent over our success as to be blind to our defects as a p ople. An American friend of mine who has taught school in her own coun try, after observing classes in the Emilio Jacinto Elementary School, remarked, ’’Your children are so quiet, so easy to control. The teachers have little diffi culty in handling them.” The remark was meant for a compli ment. But in the very state which evoked this compliment, we should see a weakness. Our children are quiet—too quiet: easy to control—too easily con trolled, I should say. As we give the Filipino woman credit for our strong points as a people, so should we blame her for our defects. Have you heard a mother’s common injunction to her boys when they leave home for play or for school? "My child, avoid get ting into a scrap. If you are wronged by a playmate, report him to bis parents. Do not fight.” Why not? A boy must fight some times just as a man has to fight many times whether in physical or moral sense. Why not allow a boy to get into a scrap? Getting into trouble and ability to get out of it afterwards or learning to be a great loser is an effective way of adjust ing one’s self to the world of men. The men who fail to fight their way through life, who become discouraged after a fail ure, who give up in the presence of a dif ficulty, are those who, as boys, did not know how to fight when it was necessary. Blame the mother. Blame the woman. (Please turn to page 36) has saved millions of Babies— It'll s"-'' Hours also!

Mr, Leon Mangali, Administrator April 17, 1935 Farmaria de Manuel Zamora, R. Hidalgo, Manila. Deir Sir: The undersigned is a mother of a baby girl, 3 months old. For nearly two mouths .rince the birth of my baby, it always had a bad case of flatulence or “kabag” almost, every night—and sometimes even during the day. Very often, when the baby cr.ed continuously and hard, and there- seem'd to be nothing in the world we could do to stop her, I zcas afraid that I thought her end would come then and there. U was a good thing, however, that the doctor who attended me at the Mater nity where I gave birth advised me to give my baby a dose of the famous TIKI-TIKI Manuel Zamora from one to three t-’m^s a day—and especially if the baby would not stop crying. Like all mothers, I did not first pay any attention to the doctor’s advice, believing that the medicine was only good for beri-beri. But when I became desperate and almost crazed by the baby’s continuous crying, I came to think of it, and with trembling hands I mixed a dose of it with my own milk and. gave it Ho the baby. In. a minute her crying stopped. She stored at all of us as if to thank us for re lieving her of her pain. Later, I learned that TIKI-TIKI Manuel Zamora is also a mild laxative, and that in addition to its wonderful qualities as an effective remedy against infantile beri-beri, or “taon’’, it also cleans the stomach and dispells the gas that gives it pain. From that time my baby has always been given a REGULAR DOSE of this wonder ful medicine, and thanks to its good qualities, my baby has grown healthy and strong. I will not hesitate to join the millions of other mothers who recommend this famous pre para!ion. Very truly yours, (Sgd.) Magdalena Collantes de Sian On Sale At All Good Drug Stores.

These are: (a) the con servation and enrichment of our people’s tradition, and (b) the encouraging and undertaking of intellectual pioneering. The secret of success lies either in the doing of a common ordinary thing in an uncommonly good and extraordinarily ex cellent way or in the performance of a task or undertaking an original piece of work which contributes to human inheritance. Society looks to the products of a university for light and leading. It ex pects them not only to follow beaten paths but blaze new trails. In the field of the intellect and of the spirit, there is ample opportunity for pioneering. Indeed, the door of opportunity is open wide to any individual in the Philippines with a logical mentality and possessed of the pioneering spirit of our Malayan an cestry, vigorous and unafraid. The age of modern progress is in reality compara tively young in the world.

The new epoch of Philippine history which is about to commence should be distinctive for achievements in the nature of true con quests. It should, in fact, be a renais sance of progress, a reassertioa of Filipino dynamism. At such a challenging era, powers that have hitherto lain dormant should come to full awakening; potentialities that have been lethargic should be brought to life; energies that have been latent should be given release; aspirations that have for centuries been in process of flowering should come to fruition. Filipino capa city placed on its mettle, standing upon the crucible of severe trial, has now the untrammelled chance for golden expres sion. Our entire resources need rehus banding, our vision needs re orientation, and our forces need redirection. It should be the hope and the pride and the determination of Filipinos to make the next epoch the diamond epoch in our national evolution.

With the celebration of its first decade of existence, the WOMAN’S HOME JOUR NAL cannot but set aside its modesty and congratulate it self for its fine achi?vements in these years. It confidently thinks that if it had done much good during this try ing period, then it can serve better yet during the next decade. This monthly has always stood by the women and their various activities, out side of and in the home. It is the periodical of women. Be the women housewives, teachers, nurses, government employees or businesswom en, they know that the WOM AN’S HOME JOURNAL fill their needs. Editorially speaking, then, we have lived up to the reso lutions we made when we first made our bow to the public. Ours have been a continuous service to a con stituency not accessible to any other periodical of its kind. It has the endorsement of the Bureau of Education, which has placed the Journal under preferred list of ma gazines for schools, and of various national organiza tions. We extend our grateful thanks to the National Fe deration of Women’s Clubs, local clubs affiliated to the federation, and their mem bers for their unstinted sup port of their official publica tion. Without this, the Jour nal might have floundered among the rocks of failure and met the fate of other am bitious periodicals which have disappeared after three months’ existence. The editorial “we” like wise extend our thanks to readers and subscribers who have been faithful to the Journal. We do not hesitate to ask them to give us this same help they are extending us because we know that by so doing they will also do themselves a favor. For, again with pardonable con ceit, we find our materials worthy reading matters for ■sveryone. We cannot express enough birthday Itatmys from R Teti-Jear Rid our gratitude to the adver tisers of the WOMAN’S HOME JOURNAL who have steadfastly helped us through these years.

That is why girls want to have dresses, dresses, and more dresses. Which certain ly will not do, especially with the thin allowance they receive from the folk sat home or with their just-enough earnings. They have to find out ways of economiz ing on dress expenses, the usual solution of which usually runs to— “I want to be a dressmaker!’’ In this manner they are able to be smartly dressed the economic way, besides finding more satisfaction in the make of their dress than when they have them made at the average dressmakers’ shop. Dressmaking is an art that every girl and woman should cultivate. They will find out that it helps them acquire better taste.

Materials I suggest that in the choice of material, the young girl should go patriotic. Jusi, pina cloth, or Ilocano cloth are very be coming to her. Soft cloths are best in girls who show slender lines, while thicker ones fit the plump sister. Lines Simplicity of lines forms the key-note to the girl’s dresses Youthfulness, vital ity, innocence, are shown in the few, becoming curves that should be allowed her. Vertical lines and stripes give slender suggestions to the 120pound girl, whereas the other girl may indulge in ruffles. Colors Which brings me to remind the girl that her collar and sleeves may vary in shape, but they should always be white or pale colors. Youth must be proud of its youth; it should yet give a buoyancy, a hint of helplessness, of a dinging-vine bewilderment so adorable in the girl in her ’teens. White and pastel shades give her this ap pearance and her choice should run along this variety. Dresses by the Hour The style of .today favors the striped or plain-material dresses for morning wear. Trimmings are best when they are white; bright ones should be reserved for evening wear. The afternoon ensemble may either be of plain material or prints. Organdie comes into the scene at this time of the day. Evening dress may run from white to wine-color to black. But I for one always advise my girls that pale colors are best for the brown maiden—be it in the broad daylight or under the electric light. Manila, May, 1935 WOMAN’S HOME JOURNAL 27 PROVINCIAL WOMEN ^LEADERS Mrs. SIMEONA KALINGAG PRICE There is romance in the spec tacular ascension of the Price fa mily in Leyte from mere fish con tractors to controllers of the great land transportation company of the province. It was late in the 1890’s that Simeona Kalingag, of Cavite came to Leyte with her parents to eke out a living. She kept a small sari sari store, wherein she dreamed her modest dreams. Among her few diversions was going to the parish church to offer her prayers. She was wending her way to church when Walter S. Price, then soldier assigned to Tacloban, first saw her. This incident, trivi 1 as it may seem, culminated in thenmarriage in 1900. The couple led a frugal life be cause ther earnings were small. They scrimped and saved whatever they could, although it was rather hard with so many children coming closely one after the other. There came a day, however, when they were able to buy a truck. In Carigara, a fishing center kilo meters away from Tacloban, Mrs. Price contracted fish which they distributed in the inland towns along the provincial road. Mr. and Mrs. Price would leave Tacloban early in the afternoon for CSrigara with the children tucked in the truck. Then at four o’clock in the early morning, the truck winds its way back to Taclo ban with its cargo of sleepy chil dren and baskets of fish. The life they led was fraught with work, worry, and frugal savings. Then they bought a few trucks that were the start of the Leyte Land Transportation Company, one of the largest land transporta tion companies in the Philippines. Mrs. Price has now on her hands plenty of time for leisure. Accustomed as she was, though, ALL-AMERICAN TEAM OF WOMEN FOR 1934 (Continued from page 16) A hard worker and a determin ed personality, Miss Booth, now nearing the three score and ten mark, reveals to those who really know her an unexpected love of play.

Theater Slender, dark-eyed Katherine Cornell, the almost unanimous cur rent selection among both laymen and her fellow workers as the great personality of the American with constant work, she would not rest in idleness. There came to her 18 children, 11 of whom sur vived. But home interests were not enough to keep her busy; she has to devote part of her time to social work. For eighteen years now, she has been the president of the Tacloban Women’s Club. For that same number of years, the club has done a great part in morally cleaning ths town. 'Through her active lea dership, the club has successfully campaigned for the closing of ca barets. The Tacloban Women’s Club has also been active in im proving community health through its puericulture center and the va rious mother and baby contests it has sponsored. Mrs. Simeona Price also leads the fight in Leyte for suffrage sup port. Even now, she is among the political leaders of the ninth se natorial district. She has been responsibe for the election of a num ber of national and local officials. These activities have also made Mrs. Price a logical social leader of the Leyte capital, and every body admits that she is a most capable hostess, charming both to guests of higher social standing and the lower. Bowling and mah-jongg are her favorite hobbies. One of her most thrilling experiences was when she was awarded the highest prize for bowling at a ladies’ tournament at the Philippine Columbian club house.

What with the deluge-after-the commonwealth, for-shorter-years-of-tran-. sition. Sakdal, and suffrage threats, the poor women registrants simply could not know just what the plebiscite was for, anyway. Which made it an imperative thing for an educational campaign on the question. The women did their bit—more than their bit. They taught the masses that the call for response on the plebiscite was a call on the citizenry, that it was a chal lenge to the patriotism of every qualified individual of the country. What made the women’s appeal less effective were the various elements that, for some reason or the other, did not wish the women to register. Among these were the Sakdalistas who simply would not have anything to do with any government policy. Their threats were enough to stay a goodly num ber of women who desired to register. Again, there were the anti-constitution alists, the group that would have a shorter period of transition for the Philippines. Because of this bit of disagreement, they took it into their heads that maybe they would make others desist from voting on the fundamental law. There was also a group which, because of ignorance of the provisions of the con stitution, insisted that the plebiscite was to decide whether women were four suf frage or not. Plebiscite on the women’s suffrage will be held two years after the establishment of the commonwealth. Thanks are to be extended to the Depart ment of the Interior for their fine coopera tion with women leaders in their endea vor to secure as many women voters as possible. The department did away with as much red tape at the eleventh hour as it could just so busy housewives and working women could be accommodated. Of course, a large number of local of ficials would just stick to their beloved red tape. They desired that women should wait, and “toe the mark’’ before they would be enabled to exercise their just rights. Unforseen registration troubles were in creased by the lack of registration cards for the women who came to vote. There were many precincts which reported this and a great part of them sent away the women without entering their names. Luckily, organized supervision on these registrations conducted by various women’s clubs prevented such anomalies to occur once too often. Despite all these obstacles, however, the response of women to their country’s call was splendid. Around 200,000 of them flocked to the polls to voice their desires as to their country's fate. The constitutional plebiscite is a most auspicious initiation of the women into active government participation. It was therefore such a pity that, because of con fused issues, women were prevented from voting without undue outside pressure on a non-political question on the basis of citizenship. A large number of men were rather flattering when they created so much fuss on the entrance of women to the voting arena. They are those men who still re tain that antiquated idea that women are intellectually immature and should there fore have nothing to do with issues that pertain the nation. They should realize by now that women of today are intel lectually awake and keep abreast with the progress of the times. Do you suffer from any Skin Impurities?

COMPANY Manila, May, 1935 WOMAN S HOME JOURNAL Ballroom Embarrassments If we aren't to be embarrassed, what are embarrassing moments then for? You can go on spinning your yarn, on how once upon a time you were in such a compromising situation that the only decent thing for you to do was to be embar rassed. What else could you do? I can imagine your sap rushing up to your cheeks, making you look like a red ripe tomato. Maybe, that was the time when in front of a distinguished crowd you asked a young lady for a dance and she refused to dance with you. And, yiou, blushing with shame, made a humiliating retreat, wishing that you could va nish into thin air to avoid the si lent sympathy if not ridicule of your friends around you. Ycu bowed your head meekly with great humiliation in your heart. To most of us young people, the commonest occasion where we em barrass others or we are embar rassed ourselves is during dances. I don’t know who is to blame in this embarrassing business, but I think that these daring males and these too discriminating females are both parties to the crime. For instance, it happens that a certain Mr. X asks a lady’s plea sure to dance with him without the necessary benefit of acquain tance. So the sweet young thing thinks that the adventurous fel low is simply fresh. Hence the polite but positive refusal. There are some girls, though, who can risk foregoing the “How do you do”, but that depends on how the stranger asking for the favor ap peals to their romantic sense, or desire for a thrill in an adven ture. Most girls, however, are not yet prepared for this sort of thing even in acquaintance parties, so it is advisable to practice “safety first before pleasure.” Or, how can a young man ex pect a lady’s delight to dance with him if his legs can’t shake with rhythm and rhyme, and instead of stepping on the floor, he steps on his partner’s toes? Or else he has some other unfavorable qualifica tions not conducive to the enjoy ment of music and the art of St. Vitus. Why, certainly, young man, the fair lady’s displeasure is rightfully yours, and you must not kick either. On the other hand, some of the so called members of the fair sex have a very highly developed dis criminating taste. They may easily believe in the democratic principles of Lincoln—that all men arn created equal, but it does not necessa.rity follow that all men bo’-e equal chances of dancing with whomever they like to dance, even among their acquaintances, nay, friends. By GUILLERMO V. SISON To dance or not to dance with somebody—that is a matter of taste, which I suppose is well guarded by democracy also. The exercise of which, in the ball room, is more enjoyed by men than by woman, unless this world turns hotsy-totsy. Under existing con ventions, it is the men who roam the dance hall to enjoy their wide freedom of choosing their danccpartners. However, athough the women’s liberty of choice is limited among those who approach them for a dance, their decision is quite decisive: to dance or not to dance. So, if he asks her, "May I dance with you” and she answers, “I am veiy tired” and such other hack neyed refusal phrases, she is .tak ing advantage not only of her pri vilege, but I should say, her right. The man will naturally feel hurt. So far, so good. But often times, after having said “I am very tired”, she stands up when the right min comes along, without as much fanning herself to show that she is really tired. At this point, trouble begins. It must. The rejected young man feels insult added to his already injured pride. In as far as re jecting him is concerned, she is perfectly privileged, but beyond that, she had better look out. He can have patience to stand by and wait until she relaxes her legs, but he can’t stand it any longer if, whi)e waiting for her patiently, she immediately dances with some body else. No, siree. Asking a lady’s pleasure for a dance, or rejecting this request is an art which must flower in the ballroom in order to avoid embar rassments and further embarras sing consequences. Very often, it is a matter of approach. And I would suggest the psychological approach. I shall study first my self, my prospects as a dance part ner. Can I trip the light fantas tic, say with the grade of 75%? Shall I not look ridiculous danc ing with my partner? In short, do I think she and I will find plea sure dancing with each other? But even then, you can never tell. You never can tell what is on a woman’s mind. A woman is a woman, you know. And suppose she turns down my offer for a dance, what shall I do? That is the point of this article. Well, frankly speaking, I guess I’ll not do anything at all. If ( think that she has reasons honest enough for not being able to dance with me, for instance she has al ready promised the piece to some one else, I may stick around in hope for the next one. If the line is always busy, I’ll beat it for simply hates to dance with me, (I can gather that from her face), I'll not waste my precious time on her at all. The reason is plain and simple. If she does not like to dance with me, she does not like it. I shall not ask for explanations. Maybe, I am just a big drop of castor oil to her. Her rejecting me is certainly not flattering to my vanity, but I can take that on the chin. I can be a “sport” in the popular parlance. I can be broadminded. I’ll just ask myself, why tl do not dance with that other girl in the corner? I know she likes to dance with me. My ball room philosophy is just this: you may dance with a lady if she pleases, and don’t force her to dance with you if she does not desire it. What is the use? The lady may say she is tired, but be lieve me, she is not tired. And taking for granted that she is, she Use this special toothpaste that removes ugly yellow stains Now most of you who have dull, yel low-streaked teeth that make you ashamed to smile can make them clear, bright and sparkling—can give them the attractive gleam of polished jewels with Kolynos.

I hope the ladies will strike out that “I am tired” alibi from their ballroom vocabulary. It is so insincere. It usually means “I don’t like to dance with you.” We, men, don’t believe it, you know. Two more words. If your offer for a dance is turned down, you can be disappointed, your manly pride can be hurt. Nobody can prevent that. But don’t throw wine, water, or beer at the lady’s face. These liquid things are for you to drink. Besides, that is ungentlemanly. You may throw flow ers. And to the ladies, what about rejecting partners with a smile on your lips? A smile may mean more than anything else to some. Finally, the safest device to pre vent these embarrassing moments in a dance is for you to bring your own partner. Do you think she will refuse to dance with you? If she does, why you can drag her home. She deserves it. Your teeth take on new bright ness with astonishing speed. Soon they are shades whiter than you ever dreamed they would be. Now see for yourself how much more effective Kolynos is. Start using Kolynos today!

Brandishing or waving the hands when you talk, twisting and turning the body when listening to another person, shuffling from one position to another while standing or sitting—all these come under the head of futile gestures. Eliminate them for they are ugly and detract from your charm. Let every movement have a mean ing. Place your feet firmly on on your lap unless you need a gesture to embellish and clarify the thought your lips are utter ing. Place your feet firmly on the floor and leave them there.

Manila, May, 1935 WOMAN’S HOME JOURNAL 31 HEALTH PAGE INFANT MORTALITY CAMPAIGN THE Division of Maternal and Child Hygiene, Bureau of Health has sent out 112 nurses for an intensive campaign for the reduction of infant mortal ity. There are twenty-one nurses more under training to be sent out later for this campaign. The nurses are assigned in the munic ipalities having excessively high infant mortality, usually caused by beriberi. The nurses work un der the guidance and supervision of the presidents, sanitary divi sion. Plan of Work—The plan of work to be performed by .the nurses may be briefly stated as follows: Each nurse should cover an area with a population from 8,000 to 10,000 depending upon the accessibility of the place where she wi'l be as signed to work. In a municipal ity having more than 10,000 in habitants, the nurse should not be made to cover the entire munic ipality but assigned only to a bar rio or a group of barrios selected by the local Health Officer which to Jus judgment based on his rec ord of infant deaths, the greater number of babies die. By this plan, we can expect the nurse to be thorough in her work and at the same time render service in places where she is most badly needed. Specific Work For Nurses.—The most important work of the nurse is home visiting for educational purposes. Within the area she is covering she should have a com plete census of the babies under one year of age and expectant mothers and come in contact with them as often as possible special ly when dealing with sick cases and deliveries. Home Visiting—Home visiting is emphasized while the clinic is sec ondary. In the nurse’s home vis iting, her first consideration should be the preservation of the health and life of the infant and expect ant mother by giving instructions on the proper feeding including vaccination and nursing care when ever necessary. But as the health of the infant depends to some ex tent on the condition of the en vironment, effort should also be directed in improving the health and nutrition of the family, hous ing condition and such factors as drinking water and toilet facilities which have an important role in the prevention of certain commu nicable diseases. Puericulture Center Clinic—Con sultation for babies and mothers in the clinic of the President of Sanitary Division may be held once a week or once every two weeks depending on the schedule of town visits of the said officer but if the consultation cannot be held regularly and at certain fixed hours, it is better not to have them at all and instead the President of Sanitary Division will call at the homes where the nurse thinks his services are necessary. Preparation of Program—lit is important to arouse the interest of the prominent people and inha bitants of the locality in general, in order to secure their coopera tion. For this purpose, the Dis trict Health Officer is requested to arrange on certain days a pro gram in the towns where this kind of work will be carried out. It is desirable that the local leaders be invited to participate. The ViceGovernor General, the Commis sioner of Health and Welfare, and the Medical Adviser on Public Health and Sanitation to His Ex cellency, the Governor-General have expressly given their promise to attend the local programs. Part of the Women's Club—The Women’s Clubs are earnestly re quested to cooperate with the nurses and health officers for the promotion of the campaign. Sug gestions for such activities which the clubs can sponsor to help the campaign are found in the page for the Federation Notes.

M. C. A. SUGGESTIONS SENT TO LOCAL CLUBS AND CENTERS 1— On account of the financial responsi bility of the establishment of puericul ture centers, new clubs are advised to start with simpler activities requiring very little fund if any, which will ul timately lead to the establishment of a center, finances permitting. 2— Suggested activities: a. Organization of Mothers’ Clubs to make layettes for free distribution to indigent mothers. b. Periodic lectures to mothers on ju venile problems such as falsehood, stealing, disobedience, etc. Mate rials for these lectures are prepared by the Federation. c. Organization of an informal kin dergarten. A small downstairs room can be had free for such pur pose. Enlist one or two of normal or college of education graduates who are waiting for jobs, to do the work. Ask the mothers to send their pre-school children two or three times a week to be taught songs and games. This service will give the mothers a chance for lei sure. d. Establishment of playgrounds. The equipment should be simple and can be donated by carpentry shops of the town. Some young er girls or boys who have some athletic training can take charge of such playgrounds. e. Encourage expectant mothers to employ services of municipal doc tors and district nurses. It must be explained to them that such services can be had free. Arrange with private doctors to attend cases and be allowed to pay in kind if cases are indigent. f. If there are center buildings no longer used for lack of fund, use them for the kindergarten work. 3—Where there are centers in operation, these suggested activities can be under taken to vitalize center work and en courage attendance.

MANILA GAS CORPORATION able old topcoat. Social Service Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III leads this year’s procession of so ciety women who have turned in unprecedented numbers to system atic good works. This young wo man, who has undertaken to wear what is perhaps the most fames name in industrial America, de votes two days of every week to social service work. She is held up as a model to other volunteers bv the heads of the organizations to which she gives her time, for while she, of course, accepts no money, she is thoroughly profes sional in her methods—always on time, never fails to appear for duty and does whatever is assign ed to her with precision and care. Business When she became the first wom an president of a great Fifth Avenue woman’s specialty shop, Mrs. Floyd Odium, attractive mother of two sons, already knew the business from the ground up, for she had spent two years in the store in an advisory capacity. The wife of a self-made man who built a vast fortune from nothing in seventeen years, Mrs. Odium accepts no salary and has invested her own money in the shop. She is the daughter of an elder in the Utah Mormon church and cares intensely for the cliffs, buttes and arroyos of her native state. She has a camp in the Utah mountains and when she can find time to rest from the responsib:lities that take all her waking mo ments (for she keeps her finger on every detail of the business), she goes back to play the guitar and sing mountain songs with her three sisters. She has a soft, love ly voice, red hair and green eyes that take the measure of every body she meets. Aviation When the aviation achievements of 1934 are totaled up, the pam, in my opinion, goes not to some flier who has broken a distance, speed or endurance record, but to Phoebe Fairgrave Amlie, who as government Special Assistant for Air Intelligence, has worked quiet ly and faithfully, helping aviation to come back. Her special assign ment has been fact-finding in the field and work in the laboratory unsnaring special problems of air plane construction and traffic. Miss Omlie, who is indifferent to clothes and cosmetics, began to flybefore she got out of her teens, has won most of the flying honors there are and married her flying instructor. International Affairs Sarah Wambaugh, red-haired and close-mouthed where her own affairs are concerned, knows more about plebiscites than any other person, man or woman, in the world. Miss Wambaugh’s official title is Technical Adviser and De puty of Commissioner of the Pleb iscite Commission, but she often sits as commissioner and when any crisis that nobody else can handle comes up, she is always sent for and always knows what’s wrong. Miss Wambaugh intended to be a professor and then leaned for a while toward politics, but apparently as long as there are plebiiscites to be held, she is elect ed and her other careers will have to wait. Literature Carrying her hat in her hand so that her publishers would know her, Caroline Miller, mother of twins, came to New York and fame fresh from a tiny village in Georgia where she had, in a drug store, to do most of her writing because there was a table and no body interrupted. Mrs. Miller’s first novel, “Lamb in His Bosom,” won the 1934 Pulitzer prize and for months led the best seller lists. New York wanted to lionize t e pretty, fresh-faced young auth or, but she got so homesick for her husband and children that she dashed away from parties and homage to be greeted at her home station by a complete turn-out of her neighbors, led by a band. She is writing another novel now. Sports For the third time the little, hard - hitting straight - speaking daughter of California in 1934 won the national tennis champion ship. The task of holding this cov eted honor requires more than skill; it needs a level head, poise and good common sense. Helen Jacobs has them all. She neither smokes nor drinks and is renowned for the fact that she never goes in for rigid dieting, but observes moderation in all things. Science When George W. Crile of the re search labpratories of the Cleve land Clinic illustrated before the National Academy of Sciences that energy actually radiates from liv ing processes, it was a woman bio physicist, Dr. Maria Telkes, whose work was hailed as having pro duced the most striking results. In the demonstration room, the lights were turned off and Dr. Telkes poured a white liquid into a flash containing a greenish one, in which the proteins of a calf brain had been dissolved. Slowly from out the darkness came a glow, faint at first, than growing stronger, that proved to those scientists that oxidation causes even dead brain tissues to give off radiation.

UPON THE HILLS MARIA CONCORDIA DUARTE The mountain breezes flirta tiously play hide and seek among the thickly foliaged plants; along the winding road, the birds twitter in excitement while the horns of cars rancously demand the right of way; the sun shines on benevolently; the silver clouds chase each oth er joyously: and the rippling waters frequently burst into bubbles of merriment. Because the Antipolo season has begun. Youth and age alike flock to that town nestling among the hills. They are there to capture that illusive spirit not found in any other season of the year. Romance, love gaiety, and piety all share in creating this appeal Antipolo has for lowlanders. The church patio is the cen ter of this vivid gathering of summer pilgrims. Peddlers dis play their wares while people come and go in their care-free way. Young men and women, conscious of their picturesque costumes of balintawak and ba rong Tagalog, form a gay crowd of all that is romantic. Here and there are somber tones added by pious women who, deep in their devotion for the Antipolo Virgin, still could smile in sympathy and drift in to reminiscences of their own days. Don’t you wish you were there? Would you not care to see yourself in your Antipolo ensemble joining in the re frain— “Let us go to Antipolo' ? Then share with us the en joyments of the Antipolo pil grimage — with your own group. The stage is set for the dr.i ma of romantic youth. NOT ASSERTIVE ENOUGH (Continued from page 19) But why is the Filipino woman so pacific so anxious to avoid a fight? The answer is not hard to find. A woman who has been made to take just what is offered her, the woman who, as a citizen, has lived only upon the crumbs on the civic and po litical table of man, cannot be expected, hard as she might try. to produce a citizenry which is perfectly virile. A freedom-loving woman will produce freedom-loving children. A woman who fights for her just rights will breed fighters, not beggars, for their rights. And a woman who en joys her full rights as a citizen will be able to give to the coun try citizens who are not handi capped by an excess of pacifism and a sense of inferiority. The Filipino woman, there fore, must be a bull-pledged citizen, enjoying all the in herent rights of a citizen, to be able to raise the most desirable type of citizens for the Philip pines.

Vargas. It was the result of a long and se rious study by Secretary Singson Encarnacion and the objects of its creation was to satisfy the de mand of local manufacturers to secure help from the government in looking for market for their products. While the Manila Trading Cen ter and Exchange is established not for profit but simply for help ing Filipino manufacturers, yet it is the policy of the government to run the trading center in a busi ness-like way so as to enable it to render to the manufacturers the greatest degree of help and cooper ation by making an extensive propaganda and actually looking for market for their products, not only in Manila but also in the provinces. So in line with this policy, we have not only estab lished the Manila Trading Center All Surgical Practice Dr. D. TAMBUATCO Lie. in Pennsylvania—4 yrs. Resident Philadelphia Hospital Office:—Kneedler Bldg.—3-6 p. m. HARRISON HOSPITAL X-Ray—Free Ambulance THINGS PHILIPPINE By VALERIANO K. LUZ Chief, Trade Promotion Division, Bureau of Commerce and Exchange in Manila but we have also started organizing trad ing centers, although in a smaller scale, in the provinces so that greater outlets could be found for the marketing of the products of the different manufacturers in the Philippines. Right at the present time, we have already established 8 different provincial trading cen ters and more are expected to be established in the future. It is gratifying to note that we are meeting with very encouraging re sults in the provinces as the public in general is willingly responding to the campaign that we are wag ing for greater production and consumption of local products. This movement, undertaken by the government in connection with this work, is especially significant in our government. For this rea son, it is the duty of all and every one in the Philippines to do its bit in the movement that we are now undertaking for national eco nomic protectionism. The Gov ernor-General himself has in many instances emphasized the necessity of the Filipinos taking our eco nomic problems in a more serious way and pointing to us the neces sity of greater control in our trade and commerce if we will ever as pire to become really a free and independent country and expect to be on the same level as the other countries that now enjoy their freedom. The Government in its campaign for national protectionism can find no better means of carrying out this plan than thru the in strumentality of the Manila Trad ing Center and Exchange. This institution was founded by the government precisely to carry out this program of activities which will tend to strengthen the eco nomic position of the Philippine Islands. It is, therefore, but na tural for the people to expect the Manila Trading Center and Ex change to formulate plans and policies whereby greater participa tion in the field of commerce and industry could be attained by our own nationals. There has been noted a sign of activity on the part of our manu facturers and merchants since its creation. We have practically extended our help to all classes of manufacturers in the Philippines including the big and the small ones, in making an extensive propaganda of their different lines of goods. Not satisfied with this, we have sent out floating ex positions and traveling fairs to create demand for local goods in every nook and corner in the Phil ippines. This created a favorable comment on the part of everybody and actually increased the actual consumption of Philippine pro ducts. The most important ele ments both in Manila and in the provinces, realizing the signi ficance and value of our campaign in this direction, has pledged their support and cooperation to the Ma nila Trading Center and Exchange and now hand in hand, we are struggling to carry out the laud able and patriotic plan of the gov ernment for greater production and consumpton of home pro indicated the tendency of the peo ple to protect native products. The people seems to realize and seems to be conscious of the fact that the belief before that all imported products were good and the local products were bad, has no found ation. As a matter of fact, some home products are as good, if not better, than the imported ones. The Filipinos have special abil ity for imitation. They do not con tent themselves to imitating things that they see but struggle and try to improve and perfect these goods. This is a quality of the Filipinos that is considered by many to be Can't Expect Any Better For Security and Comfort— I We advise others to specify APO CEMENT on their next job.

The result of this is the imitation of some of the imported goods to perfection and not only imitation but, to a certain extent improve ment of these goods that Filipino manufacturers have seen from other manufacturers. Now take for instance the case of textiles. The imported textiles have been in the market in the Philippines since time immemorial. Lately, there have been enterprising Fili pinos who have gone into the busi ness of textile manufacturing both in Manila and in the provinces. The Philippine Cotton Mills a sub sidiary of Madrigal and Com pany, is turning out cloths that can compare favorably with the imported drills and other cloths suitable fol' use by the middle class of people in the Philippines. There are also in the Ilocano re gion hundreds of people who are at present engaged in the manu facturing and making of the fa mous Ilocano cloths which, in many respects, are considered to be superior to many imported cloths found in local markets. The government in its efforts to help these manufacturers improve their product is now looking over ways and means to establish certain standard grades and qualities so as to put their products in the same level as the imported cloths.

We do not limit ourselves in displaying these goods but every means of propaganda and publicity is availed so as to make these goods as well known to the public as possible. Moreover, we do not content ourselves to the exhibition and sale of manufac tured articles but we go to the extent of helping our farmers and agriculturists to find market for their farm produce. We are daily effecting big sales for rice plant ers, for corn planters and other commodities that can be conve niently marketed in Manila and in the provinces. We organized cooperative marketing associations and have established bonded ware houses where farm products can be conveniently and safely de posited, look for buyers for these products and extend to the farmers every possible means of help as an encouragement for greater production.

And you help charitable institutions, too, with your participation in the sweepstakes. In accordance with the law, 25 per cent of the total proceeds, or P250.000.00, will be apportioned in the discretion of the Board of Trustees of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes, after due considera tion of the recommendations of the Com missioner of Health and Welfare, among the following organizations: the Philip pine Islands Antituberculosis Society, the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation, the hospitals of the Insular Government and provincial and municipal govern ments. the National Federation of Wom en’s Clubs, the Associacion de Damas Filipinas, the Gota de Leche, the Associated Charities of Manila and the provinces, the Philippine Council of Boy Scouts of Am erica, the Asilo para Invalidos de los Veteranos de la Revolucion, the child wel fare centers in the provinces and munici palities, and other institutions or organ izations engaged in charitable, relief and health work for the improvement of the condition of the indigent Filipino masses in this country or abroad. It will be seen that more than 60 per cent of the proceeds of the sales of tickets will be given as prizes and 25 per cent will be distributed for charity, relief and health work.

Social work offers them a chance for intelligent experimenting. The other set of workers are the vo lunteers who are the wealthy or socially prominent and who can give their time and money to the cause of humanity. They serve as boards of directors and committee members of financial campaigns. The volunteers serve as a link between the social organizations they serve and the community which supports the work. They stand as a guarantee that the money contributed is spent wisely. For such reasons the volunteer's job is a very responsible one. It is to be re ANTIPOLO!

Freckles gretted, however, that many times the vo lunteers do not realize their responsibili ties. The standard of volunteer service must be raised so that sound and permanent support of the community is achieved. The warm human appeal of the needy which motivates the volunteers’ interest in social work should actuate them to raise the standard of their service. Anv kind of work well done always bears gra tifying results. The volunteer should be interested to seek assignments other than the collection of funds. Jobs which need regularity and concentration, such as visiting families and learning to understand their problems more intimately, getting jobs for the un employed, securing transportation for stranded families, getting schol arships for poor students, are some definite, tasks which will furnish the volunteers facts and real interest in the organization and more confident approach for the support of its program. It is true the social work whether volunteer or profes sional is not easy. Often it is an ungrateful job but as re sponsible citizens, we should be vitally interested in the charity that shows itself not in impul sive, careless giving, but in pa tiently considerate and sympa thetic effort to help those in need to help themselves. “Not alms but a friend,” should be the slogan of real giving in the Commonwealth.
