FORMER KANSAN NOW IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawson May, Only Male Society Editor of Kansan, is Reporter on Manila Bulletin
E. Lawson ma, Fay 25', in a letter to Prof. L. N. Flint says, "I've decided not to let Missouri have the entire run of the Orient, so I'm established in Manila, P. I for the next several years." Mr. May, so far as can be learned he is acquainted with that institution. Society Editor of the Kansan. He held this position in the fall of 1919 and was nicknamed "Emily".
He and the new Governor General, Leonard Wood, are sharing entertainments. He says, "They're given for Wood, you recall, but I'm getting in on them b'gosh. The Governor started work a week later than I did, but he's had much more publicity than I have although I bet I've written more columns of copy than he has messages."
He desires to vote Lord Northciffe an honorary citizenship in the United States because of the speech that he made to the Filipinos. In this speech, Lord Northciffe asked Lord God to thank God that they have the help of the Americans.
Mr. May is getting acclimated to the country but he says that the news is very different from what the United Press wanted in this country. Over there, they want all of the importing and exporting news and the rate of exchange as compared to the dollar.
He doesn't like the idea of wearing white clothes every day. He has put his wool suits in moth balls to stay there for the next three years.
His "beat" covers nearly everything that is going on in Manila. He covers the police, army, departments of agriculture, science labor, commerce, and the Red Cross. He says that Edward H. Taylor, A. B. 125, publicity man for the Red Cross and is writing a book on Botany.
A cosmopolitan force is working on the Daily Bulletin, May says, composed of one Chinese, three Filipinos, one Englishman and three Americans.

They Must Still Be Making Rings of 'Em

Paris, Dec. 13—The new bronze-aluminum *jewels* or *onions* and two-arm trinkets issued by the Mint in an effort to solve the small-challenge crisis of gold, costing rate of 800 000 per day, or practically as fast as the mint issues them.
In the past month nearly 22,000,000 of the little golden tokens have been put into circulation and disappeared almost instantly. Only a few can be found in circulation. The other many millions have gone into France's famous "wolven stocking", where they are being hoarded all over Europe, with silver which long ago disappeared from ordinary circulation.
The "jetsons" were issued with the idea that they would replace the dirty torn paper money. Now the mint authorities are in a quandry and are discussing measures to force the canny French people to disgorge the "jetons" and turn in the paper money.
The authorities evidently made a mistake in designing the "jetons" so that they appear too much like real money. They are about the size of the franc and two-frank pieces and rolled on the edges and when new appearance very much like a gold piece, but the intrinsic value is almost nothing.
Every day an average of 4,000 persons form in line to get the tokens, and a staff of one hundred persons

The large embroidered squares have a history back of them. For over twenty years they have been treasured as relics of the monarchial
For some mystifying reason in **14** last fortnight a few silver coins have been appearing in general circulation after more than two years absence. The banks claim that they are unable to explain the sudden appearance of silver. The fifty centine and one and two-frame pieces in silver have been so rare that residents have not been more than one or two pieces in the past year. All ordinary paper is transacted with paper notes.

A few years ago one could hire a man for four cents a day to take care of fifteen dollars was offered, a man would work a year steadily from morning until night and not think he was underpaid. At the present time wages are still very low in China which work which has taken years in to making can be bought very cheap.
"Our arts are much different from those of the Japanese, though many seem to believe them the same." In speaking of the white jade which Mr. Woo said was taken from the arm of a chair where it had been inlaid, he remarked, "When I go back to my people I am going to tell them not to destroy these thigs. They are part of the real art of China.
