Officials of the J international Federation oT Labor are not nearly so optimistic about the progress of labor legislation' recom mended by the conference held at Washington in 1919 as are officials off the labor section of the league of na tions at Geneva. I While Albert Thomas of France said' in a recent report of the league section-that adoption of the Washington recommendations was coming more rapidly than had been the case a few months ago, Edo Fimmen. secretary of the federation, has compiled statis tics to the contrary. "Up to the, present," said Mr. Fim men, "there is only one country in the world Greece that has ratified the resolutions in their entirety. This, of course, is not much for the world's la borers. "In Belgium, some of the recommen dations, of Washington have been car ried out, and, in France, the stipula tions as to the work of mothers before and after childbirth have been regu lated. "In other countries, as Argentina, Austria, Luxembourg, and Czechoslo vakia, no special measures have been taken by the government but the con ditions of labor there were already probably even more favorable than the Washington program provided. "Still other countries have either j proposed one or more bills aiming at improvement of labor conditions, or will do so shortly. Among these are South Africa. England. Italy, Vene zuela, Germany, Chili, Spain and Ru mania. "Another group includes British In dia. Norway, Nicaragua, Panama. Po land, Sweden and Switzerland, which are still studying the problem. "Columbia, Denmark. Bolivia. Can ada, Honduras, Liberia, New Zealand. Salvador, Siam, Uruguay, Portugal merely announced receipt, while Aus tralia, Brazil. China. Guatemala. Ecua dor, Cuba, Finland, Haiti, Hedjaz, Hol land. Japan, Paraguay. Peru, Persia and Jugoslavia have not even replied." William Oudogeest, one of the direc rg of tbe federation, was quoted as having said at Geneva, a few months ago. that general strikes would be proclaimed to force adoption of the program. Mr. Fimmen, however, said this probably expressed only Mr. Oude geest's personal opinion. PHILIPPINE CROPS VALLKIJ AT S44 MILLION LAST i EAR MANILA. P. I.. Jan. 10. (Correspond ence Associated Press. The value of the most important products of the Philippine islands rice, sugar, hemp, corn, coconuts, and tobacco, for the year 1920. amounted to approximately $344,000,000, according to the prelimi nary annual report submitted by the secretary of agriculture, to the gover nor general. Fran-is Burton Harrison. In 1919 the value of these same six products was only S219.fO0.0On. Dr. . Calicano Apncible, secretary of agrl- culture, in his report, says that while the increase in the value of Philippine products in 1920 was due largely to the hih pices, the increase in acreage and the qitallty of the crops assisted in swelling the value. In 1920 the area of land planted to rice amounted to 3,700,000 acres, an increase of seven per cent over the pre vious year. This rice was all sold in the Philippines for approximately $127,000,000, an increase of 37 per cent book i vwi ww. The area planted to sugar cane last yoar was 493. 50 acres, oft or which approximately 46. 000 tons or sugar were harvested, the value being $79. 628.000. Although there was a reduc tion of one "per cent In the 1920 acre age from ' that of 1919, there was a three per cent increase in the produc tion of sugar. The production of coconuts in 1920 amounted to..79.406,104 trees Valued at $61,000,000. as Compared with 74.650,000 trees, in 1919;valued at $37,700,000. The tobacco, production in 1920 amounted t& y 14t.i00,000 pounds from 252,800 acres, .ffnd was valued at $13, 3u0,000. The Increase in total produc tion and in - the-Value of the ?rop over 1919 amounted approximately to 18 per cent. ALLKf.fCO C'KIMKS OK JAPS AGAINST KOUEA.V PEOPLE SHANGHAI, Jan. 10.

Make Every Year Leap Year and : Let Modern Girl Pick and ! Choose Husband j "Uy KARL C. REEVES, International News Service Staff Cor respondent LONDON, Feb. 19. Every year will be leap year by any bye. For the sci entists and feminists are joining bands to prove that it should be so. All alonsr the Darwinian line, so to sp"eak, it is the female of the species that does the selecting of a mate un til mankind is reached. There, also, some both scientists and feminists '-admit the female of the species does a bit of the selecting. But it's only indirectly. And it's all wrong. Sir John Cackburn started the ball rolling in a scientific lecture. Scien tifically. Lt seems, woman should pro pose. It's a mistake, perhaos, that she hasn't been doing it all along. Dr. Knight, of the Freedom league, says she and other women present at the lecture quite ajree with Sir John. "Women ought to be free to choose the father of their children," Dr. Knight contends. "At present they ars not entirely free and they never will be until complete economic equality of women and men has been achieved. "Of course, most girls select their husbands nowadays,, but it is done in an indirect one might almost say unr derhanded way. Why should it not be done quite openly? If a girl likes a man and feels that she wants him as her husband, lt ought not be consid ered immodest on her part to make the first advances. The man might be too shy. "A girl would instinctively pick a man who would make her a good hus band and I don't See any reason why woman shouldn't propose. "Men can say no just as a girl can. They would soon get used to it." Mrs. M. L. Seaton-Tiedeman, secre tary of the Divorce Heform union, thinks it might help put her society out of business. There would be fewer divorces. "Woman is better vtted to choose a mate than man," she declares. "A woman is not so easily imposed upon by externals. "With men it is - different. So long as a girl is beautiful, tastefully dress ed, and has charmine manners, they don't bother to study her character." But, thinks Mrs. Seaton-Teideman, along with this change shou'd go a casting-out of the general idea that women regard marriage as a career, and are all waiting for some man to come along and provide a home. !l It is said that investments in electric railways in the United States total about $6,000,000,000.

MacMILLAN & CAMERON 108-108 X. Second Street . HUMMELL & PERRY ' INSURANCE ,' ' ALL LINKS ' .. Orion Jlnildlng . ' Telephone 800 L M Must Not Fail The climax in the great campaign and the first ever waged in behalf of the James Walker Memorial Hospital is at hand. Forty Thousand Dollars Needed To reach the goal of 100,000 and assure the building of the Alexander D. Mc Clure Nurses' Home, which will mean comfort and rest for weary nurses, more room for charity patients, general development of the institution so it can better care for the suffering of the community and a beautiful and fitting memorial to a man who dedicated his life to the service of humanity in Wilmington. Will You Help Save the Day? Two public-spirited citizens. Dr. James Sprunt and Mr. W. H. Sprunt, make the nurses' home possible by subscribing $20,000 provided, Wilmington will raise the balance. Wilmington has raised half of this balance, but $40,000 is still needed. Wilmington must meet this fair and generous challenge and save the nurses' home. Have You Done All You Can? i Not merely have you given, but have you made the REAL SACRIFICE, in jus tice to suffering humanity, in gratitude for the blessings you have enjoyed and in the face of the Dire Need of the Hour? Your Support is Necessary In a substantial contribution or an increase of the donation you have already made. Not all in cash, but a pledge, the payments of which extend over months. Someone aye, a number of someones, have not appreciated the magnitude of the task and realized the pressing needs, and their contributions have, perhaps, been smaller than would have been had they only been conscious of the, critical condi tion of the hospital work, with their duty towards this institution. Otherwise, the campaign would now fye over the top. But the time is not too late. You can make up for lost time. Arouse yourself, and in the name of Sweet Charity, give or in crease your contribution. A Message For Your Conscience ' The undersigned, men and women of Wilmington, Who have been working every day, and often at night, for the past week in behalf of this big cause, recog nize now as ridver before the necessity of making a success of this campaign. It is the.(uty of the community to come forward with the money needed at once. We ap peal to the community for it. From our hearts we send forth a fervent plea to the people of Wilmington not to fall down on this job, the biggest ahd most glorious everrsented to them. We have faith in the appreciation and gratitude of Wil mington. So let the response be prompt and adequate. "The Greatest of these is Charity." George B. Elliott Rev. Frank D. Dean J. V.
