Pine Hats Made from It, Also Broome,

Manila, P. I.—One of the most pop
ular kinds of native hats sold in Ma-1
nila 1b the Lukban hat. It is known by
the name of the town, Lukban, in the
province of Tayabas, Luzon, because
originally most of the hats made of
this weave came from there. The hat
Is probably the lightest, coolest and
strongest of all the fine Philippine
hats. It is woven from' the fiber of
the leaf or the Burl palm.
While the Lukban hat is probably
the most familiar product of the Buri
palm known to Americans and Euro
peans, the Filipinos have found many
other uses for the different parts of
this tree that are ingenious and in
teresting. Two distinct classes of
products are taken from the Buri
palm—those furnished by the leaf and
those furnished by the bud. The leaf
stalk resembles a tightly closed fan
and is cut from the tree by the Fil
ipino workman before the leaf opens.
The dried leaves, split into strips, are
available for the mat and bag makers.
A leaf that becomes mildewed in the
process of drying can be used as
roofing for a house or as a drop over
a window or for the top of a porch.

The coarse midribs of the leaf are
bunched together and made into stiff
brooms, which can be used in the
house or the stable. In the tropics
the broom seems to have supplanted
the garden rake in many of its uses.
Lawns are never raked, but are swept
by these brooms. Coarse rope and
twine are made from the leaf of
the Buri palm and strong paper has
been made of the fiber.
The finer ribs of the leaf are made
into rolls and sold to the maker of
hats and baskets. The Filipinos are
probably as clever at basketmaking
as any other race in the world. Some
baskets are so finely woven that they

Their hats bring
high prices the world over. Sails
and the "petates," or mattresses, used
by Filipinos, are woven from these
fibers.
Besides the leaf, there is the bud or
"head" of the palm that furnishes at
least three useful products to the Fil
ipinos. These are sugar, sirup and
the native drink "tuba." A native, by
means of a long bamboo pole, climbs
to the top of a palm that may be ten
or more meters in height. The bud
is tapped when the tree is about to
flower and the sap is brought down
in skillfully constructed baskets made
of buri leaves. When the sap has
been boiled down to sugar it is
placed to cool in boxes made of buri
leaves or in cocoanut shell molds, and
when the sugar is shipped It is put
up in sacks made of the buri leaf
fiber. The sap is called "tulJa,"
which by fermentation becomes an in
toxicating native drink. The Filipinos
are very moderate in the use of intox
icants and very rarely is one seen
under the influence of this liquor.

for the wreck on the University Place

which cost one life and injured' fifty
others.
This is the report of the coroner's

called Oklahoma City his home, was
the man killed and his relatives are
expected to sue for at least $10,000.
The motorman said he tried to apply
the brakes, which fajled. Then he
tried to use the emergency brakes,
which failed, and' by that time the car
hit the curve and commenced to topple
over and he jumped for his life. Gen
eral Manager George Hippee of the
car line says the brakes refused to
work because of the large number of
leaves on the track, but other wit
nesses swore there were no leaves on
the track.
The result of the wreck has been to
make many people afraid of the worn
out car service and many more are
walking than formerly.
