LUI[ OF RUBBER TREE
GONE FOR FILIPINOS
MANILA, Feb. 14. (/P)—Rubber
growing on small land holdings has
lost its appeal for the average Phil
ippine farmer. This opinion, formed
by Dr. Stanton Youngberg, director of
the Bureau of Agriculture, is based
on the collapse of the demand for
rubber seedlings.
“The tiresome process of tapping
rubber trees 365 days a year” ex
plains the Filipino’s loss of interest
says Dr. Youngberg, who notes a re
turning enthusiam for copra produc
tion and an increased acreage plant
ed to cocoanuts.

SHOPLIFTER'S CLEVER
NEW YORK, Feb. 15. (IP)—Some
department stores have strict rules
against persons entering at closing
time, as one person found when he
tried to enter at 5.30.
The doorman explained that a
woman was apprehended while at
tempting to smuggle a $4,000 fur coat
out of the store. She had entered
the establishment just as the doors
were closed the day before and
therein spent the night, undiscover
ed by the ’watchmen.
Her admissions cleared up mys
terious thefts at other stores, the
doorman said, and resulted in a
closer watch at the doors thereafter.
CIGARETTE STUB HELPED
SWING WAH SENTIMENT
NEW YORK, Feb. 15. (IP)—A cig
aret stub helped sway sentiment of
former German subjects in Alsace
Lorraine to the allies during the
world war, in the belief of Lieut. Col.
Bernard Flood, chief of the A. E. F.
secret service.
After nine years Col. Flood reveals
in the February Elks Magazine that
thousands of lukewarm Alsatians in
recently recaptured territory were
enraged by a murder that climaxed
a series of assults and robberies. A
stub of a French cigaret and an Am
erican bayonet were found at the
scene. A search was made among
19,000 troops for an American who
smoked French cigarets, usually de
tested by the doughboys. The guilty
man was found and his arrest ap
peased the Alsatians.
“When in doubt, dress,” is the slo
gan of habitual night lifers. The
rule of donning evening clothes is
more elastic for theatregoers than foi

guests at private functions. Excepl
possibly on first nights, a large por
portion of theatre audiences weai
informal attire. But a published lisi

formal clothes, seven for which it is
better to dress, and only three where
informal apparel is more appropriate
Another publication, however, ad
