Last week Col. Carmi Alderman Thompson, personal representative in the Philippines of President Coolidge, leisurely journeyed on as usual after leaving Damaghete, Occidental Negros, where, as in the other southern islands, special orders had been given that fat and lean Filipino females should cease chewing betel-nuts, smoking cigars, ambling about naked.
