Haussermann, Former Of
ficial of Islands, Stresses
Metal Wealth.
Discovery of huge chromite de
posits and shipment of $20,000,000
worth of gold will be high points in
Philippine trade with the United
6tates this year, according to John
W. Haussermann, former attorney
general of the islands and a holder
of extensive gold mining interests
there, who w'as in Washington today
on a business trip.
The Philippines will produce at least
$20,000,000 worth of gold this year,
outranking Alaska as a source of the
metal, but the coming industry is not
gold, but chromite, Haussermann ex
plained.
A deposit of high grade ore. esti
mated at 200,000 tons and a 10,000,
000-ton deposit of lower grade ore,
the largest in the world, have been
discovered, and American scientists
believe the islands have almost limit
less possibilities, he declared.
IdlUdUIC IU IIIUU3H;.
•‘Chromite is an important indus
trial and war material, widely used
for producing stainless steel, and the
Philippines are the only territory
under the American flag with large
deposits. All our chromite will be
shipped to the United States, which
used 192.298 long tons, valued at $2,
277,787. The annual w'orld production
Is only about 500,000 metric tons at
present,” Haussermann said.
The necessity for keeping control
ever the deposits, as well as deposits
of manganese and coal, was stressed
by the former attorney general, who
went to the Philippines during the
insurrection as an officer in the
Kansas volunteers. He is president of
two mining companies, which produce
two-thirds of the gold mined in the
islands. Last year, gold shipments
from the Philippines totaled $16,
072,925.
Sees Congress Sympathetic.
After renewing acquaintanceships
formed when a group of Government
officials, including Vice President
Garner, attended the inauguration
of President Quezon-last year, Haus
termann said:
"I believe Congress is sympathetic
with the problems of the Philippines,
and will not pass any drastic legis
lation prejudicial to the interests of
the islands. America functions as a
stabilizing clement in the Pacific and
serves as an object lesson for other
peoples in the Orient.”

director at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital

Feminine Washington Sees Nice Gesture
Passing, But Remains Calm as Males
Campaign to Ban Hat-Lifting in Lifts.
BY FRANCES LIDE.
The gentlemen f?> who are so con
cerned about keeping their hats on
in elevators might just as well keep
their shirts on, too, a lot of local la
dies are thinking.
About the biggest rise the Asso
ciation for the Prevention of Taking
Off Hats in Elevators is getting out of
feminine Washington is a lifted eye
brow.
Feminine lives may be consider
ably blighted by the sudden with
drawal of a time-honored gesture.
But not many of the ladies are go
ing to show it. To be perfectly frank,
if the gentlemen (?) who are planning
to debate the issue at an indignation
meeting at the National Press Club
Saturday but knew it, the ladies are
not taking their campaign any too
seriously.
In fact. President Roosevelt was in
formed yesterday that there is a
Society for the Protection of Women
Whose Eyes Have Been Blackened by
Gentlemen taking off Hats in Ele
vators.
The President laughed and replied
he would have to put all that under
Government regulation.
Representative Isabella Greenway,
1 for one, believes the A. P. T. O. H. E.
i is going to miss the old custom as
much as anybody else.
Men Enjoy Custom,
j “It's an instinctive gesture which
men, I think, enjoy just as much as
1 women," she said.
I The Arizona Congresswoman sighed
! a little—but only a little—over the
: passing of another “picturesque and
| delightful custom."
“Why rob ourselves of these little
pleasantries?” she asked.
Mrs. John Allan Dougherty, promi
j nent social leader, thinks the debate
“an amusing stunt for a dull evening.”
! If you want to know her reaction to
! the association you'll have to read
! between the lines.
A “nice gesture" is how Miss Mae
R. Murray, president ol the District
Business and Professional Women's
Club, feels' about hat-lifting in ele
vators.
No Law, Just Manners.
"But by no means—unless they
want to," said Miss Mildred E. Reeves,
an officer in the Women’s Bar Asso
ciation. "Lifting hats In elevators
has been a part of good manners, but
certainly not required of those who’d
rather not.”
"Why not an association fo^ the
prevention of removing hats out of
doors in Winter?” countered Miss
Helen Newman, librarian at George
Washington University. “I’ve always
felt terribly sorry for the men who
subscribed to that custom."
A little aghast at the collapse of
1.1. .. ,--.i
Southern chivalry In the North, Miss
Kitty Carpenter, South Carolina sec
retarial student, opened her eyes wide.
"The lazy bums,” she drawled.
Debutante Indifferent.
Prom the debutante point of view:
“It doesn't make any difference”
to Eleanor Flood of the Shoreham
Hotel.
Young business girls rather expect
the gesture, in the opinion of Miss
Mary Louise Earner of the Federal
Housing Administration.
A newspaper woman, however, is
entirely in sympathy with the move
ment.
“For Washington elevators, any
way,” she agreed.
"There Just isn't enough elbow room
here for too much hat-lifting.”
Hat-tipping isn't gallantry, but a
‘‘survival of the vainest and most
corrupt age in history—when knight
hood was in flower,” Representative
Maverick of Texas declared.
“The custom came flown from the
time when the knight lifted the visor
of his helmet when he rode by the
ladies," the Texan explained. "The
gesture only satisfied his vanity, for
he was just letting her know who
he was, not paying her any respect.”
Secretary Ickes has also been report
ed as Indorsing the A. P. T. O. H. E.
Hostess to Mothers’ Cluh.
The Mothers’ Club of Kendall
College will be entertained by Mrs.
Charles Ely In the garden of her home
at Eighth street and Florida avenue
this afternooon.
TJ. S. Films in Demand.
Return of American films to
Czechoslovakia has resulted in an
increase in theater audiences.

THIS superb marbelite case alone
is worth your 49^. Handsome as
a jewel-box, stain-proof, water-proof
it’s washable as chromium itself.

tarnish, chip or rust. Guaranteed to
stay in perfect working order for a
lifetime.
Gem’s patented Dual-Alignment

to any facial contour. Its design gives
you automatically that long, gliding
“barber’s” stroke. Once over e-a-s-y
and the heaviest beard is under con
. trol for 24 hours.
Note also, your same 49p starts you
with 5 super-keen Gem Blades made
of 50% thicker surgical steel, stropped
4840 separate times - so sharp they
simply whisper across your face and
your whiskers are gone.

remarkably much for your 49^1 Today-at all
