FROM sunny ITALY.
The Glass of Immigrants That
Land Is Sending Us.
As "a Glass They DO Not Take Kindly
to Agricultural Pursuits, Hut
Flock to the cities and Con-
struction Camps.

During 1903 Italy sent to our shores
more immigrants than any other nation.
In what portions Of our country do the
sons and daughters of that sunny land
settle, how do they earn their daily
bread, and what sort of folk are they,
anyway?
New York and Pennsylvania prove
specially attractive states. In these two
dwell half the whole number of Italians
seeking livelihood here. New Jersey
stands next, then come Massachusetts,
Illinois, California, Connecticut and
Louisiana. But they are found in almost
every state of the union, in mum bers
ranging from the IS enumerated in Okla
homa Census of 1900 TO the 1924 CT
New York. At first thought one might
suppose our semitropieal sections would
prove most inviting to the exiles from
Italy. but figures do not bear this out.
Louisiana has 1900 Italians; Illinois,
over $4,000 California. % 600, TO Penn

about 500; in Ohio over II 600; in Ala
