Por the Nlpa palm, so abundant In many parts of southeastern Asia, an Important future Is predicted as a source of alcohol and sugar. In the Philippines, this palm occupies vast marshy areas near the river mouths around Manila hav av'i along the const of other provinces.

Is collected from Incisions In the hark after the tree Is live years old. Each tree yields about 43 quarts in the pe riod from July to December, and each, acre of H(X> trees should therefore pro duce about 33,000 quarts. I)r.

O. B. Detroit At the outset we would like; to emphasis the fact that there is no economic justification for the price reductions which we have quoted above. The cost of materials, expert workmanship and a fair, legitimate profit has always determined the price of our cars. The new schedule, therefore, represents not only a complete sacrifice of profit but a very substantial loss by this company. We cheerfully make this sacrifice in the interests of a very worthy movement to decrease the excessively high costs of living which now prevail. In taking this action we do not pose as philanthropists or sentimentalists. We merely recognize the necessity for action ? radicai and sweeping ? -and we are ready to do our part.
